The Edge
On the Precipice of Emotion: Unsung Heroes' Struggle with Love and Loss
Lyrics
Patience way too low
Expressing impatience and frustration with a low tolerance level.
And my loved ones take a toll
Feeling the emotional toll taken by loved ones.
I don't want want to be like them
Rejecting the desire to emulate the behavior of others.
I didn't mean to break my stem
Regretting unintended personal damage or harm.
My night stand needs refills
Expressing a need for medication to cope with misery.
For these medicated misery pills
Describing reliance on medicated pills for relief.
And I'm standing on the edge of you and I
Contemplating a delicate situation or relationship.
And I might jump off this time
Considering the possibility of a drastic decision, like ending a relationship.
Promise me, I promise you
Making a mutual commitment in a relationship.
That I still love and think of you
Affirming continued love and thoughts for the other person.
I can't promise I'll be nice
Acknowledging difficulty in maintaining kindness or niceness.
You're just so lost and into use
Observing someone's state of being lost and engaged in substance use.
Words can't make me fold
Asserting resilience against negative influences.
Words can't make me fold
Repeating the strength to resist being influenced negatively by words.
I'm wide awake
Being fully conscious and aware.
I medicate
Using medication as a coping mechanism.
I'm tired but can't sleep
Experiencing fatigue but unable to sleep.
As I lay under my sheets
Describing the difficulty in finding comfort under sheets.
And I'm so gone
Feeling emotionally distant or detached.
My bank account's empty
Highlighting financial struggles with an empty bank account.
I'm not making these ends meet
Expressing difficulty in meeting financial obligations.
So far
Reflecting on a situation that feels distant or difficult.
So long
Indicating a prolonged and challenging experience.
And I'm standing on the edge of you and I
Returning to the contemplation of a delicate situation or relationship.
And I might jump off this time
Reiterating the consideration of a drastic decision.
Promise me, I promise you
Reaffirming love and thoughts in the face of uncertainty.
That I still love and think of you
Expressing commitment despite potential challenges.
I can't promise I'll be nice
Acknowledging difficulty in maintaining kindness or niceness (repeated).
You're just so lost and into use
Observing someone's state of being lost and engaged in substance use (repeated).
Words can't make me fold
Reiterating resilience against negative influences (repeated).
