Lyrics
Standing on the edge
Contemplating a precarious position
Of the Hoover Dam
Symbolic reference to a massive structure
I'm on the center line
Being in a state of balance or neutrality
Right between two states of mind
Existence between two contrasting states of mind
And if the wind from the traffic
Potential external influences that could disrupt stability
Should blow me away
Possible vulnerability to external pressures
From this altitude
Heightened perspective with a potential return to origins
It will come back to you
The consequences of actions reverberating
And do you know the time
A question about awareness of time
All that's left of me is slight insanity
Embracing a degree of madness or eccentricity
What's on the right I don't know
Uncertainty about the future or the unknown
If the Mississippi should wash me away
Imagining a potential cleansing or transformative event
Down to New Orleans
A journey towards a vibrant and culturally rich destination
Maybe someday in my dreams
An aspiration or hope residing in dreams
I'd wake feeling the sweat
Anxiety or fear manifesting physically
From the gulf in my mouth
Sensory experience related to the mouth of a river
On a carousel I can never tell
A metaphor for life's unpredictability
My direction home
A sense of confusion or inability to find one's way
Spinning down a hole
A descent into chaos or loss of control
I'm losing all control
Losing control over circumstances
I'm down to the center of the earth
Symbolic descent to the core of existence
Covered up with lava and I feel fine
Acceptance of challenges and finding peace within
It washes over me
An immersive experience with positive impact
Keeps me feeling warm at night
Feeling comfort or solace in challenging times
And if you've made a deal with
A reference to a potential pact or agreement
The guy with the horns and the cape
A playful mention of a supernatural figure
I'll see you later later
Indication of a future meeting or encounter
Standing on the edge
Reiteration of the precarious position
Of the Hoover Dam
Re-emphasizing the symbolic location
Standing on the edge
Restating the vulnerable state
Of the Hoover Dam I am
Reaffirmation of standing at the edge
