Song Meaning of “On Edge – Original Mix” by Pig&Dan
‘On Edge’ is a song about finding oneself in the middle of a difficult process and feeling overwhelmed and anxious. The lyrics, layered synths, and deep bass tell a story of someone struggling to make sense of their experiences and to grasp onto something solid and tangible.
The song starts with a low, driving bass line and simple, sparse lyrics that evoke a tension and anxiousness: ‘Here we are, we are on edge/Searching for a place to start again.’ As the song progresses, the music builds to a frenetic climax, reflecting the chaos of the emotions being experienced.
The chorus of ‘On Edge’ brings together the intensity of the journey with hope and optimism: ‘We may be on edge, but I’m here by your side/And we won’t let this harder path define us.’ This is a song about resilience in the face of hardship and a reminder that even in difficult times, we can find support and strength from one another.
