On the Safest Ledge Lyrics
Each step will find the next one recklessly
We'll find ourselves on the safest ledge
Well pardon me, I couldn't help myself
Girl, fall into your life here
If only for a while, I'm here
If you'd land right here safe in my arms?
It's fine, lock all your doors through the night
Keep it all right here, safe in my arms
It's fine, it's fine
An empty house, a lonely room
The TV talks the fear right out of you
But you feel like someone's standing by but you'll never know
If you'd land right here safe in my arms?
It's fine, lock all your doors through the night
Keep it all right here, safe in my arms
It's fine
If you look toward the sky even on your greyest night
And your eyes open wide and your feet going nowhere?
Could you be happy to fall like a stone
If you'd land right here safe in my arms?
It's fine, lock all your doors through the night
Keep it all right here, safe in my arms
It's fine
"It's all about discomfort and how lovely and scary it is to not know what your next step will be,"
i agree with remembermaine
it's definitely about living a life that's unplanned but more specifically about a relationship that you really don't know what's going to happen but you just have to embrace it and hope that everything turns out right "Could you be happy to fall like a stone" it's like just falling with no regrets, or inhibitions and you may be scared but you'll feel comforted in the end
It sounds more romantic to say that this song is about falling madly in love, forgetting everything else in your life, running away with somebody that's always been the friend, but you realize you love. Personally though, I think this song is about accepting God into your life. It seems like this song is from God's point of view to a person who is questioning whether they should take the chance and give their life to God, and to follow Jesus' teachings.
"Don't look ahead, just run to me" Don't worry about what will happen, just go to God.
"Each step will find the next one recklessly" If you live for God, then everything else will work out by itself.
"We'll find ourselves on the safest ledge" And you'll be the safest you've ever felt even if you are on a ledge, because if you fall God will catch you.
"Could you be happy to fall like a stone If you'd land right here safe in my arms?" God is asking, "Could you give up everything and live for me if you knew that I would catch you when you fall?"
"It's fine, lock all your doors through the night Keep it all right here, safe in my arms It's fine, it's fine" Lock yourself away from the sin in the world, and just stay in His ways. Stay in His "arms," and it'll be fine.
"You felt alone before you ever really knew how alone you were An empty house, a lonely room The TV talks the fear right out of you" This person has been living their life for their own personal thrills, and has ended up alone. They look to other things, like the TV for example, to comfort them and distract them.
"But you feel like some one's standing by but you'll never know" This person is not truely alone because God is always there, and this person senses this. They're just not taking the step to look to Him for guidance.
"The sun burns a hole straight through your old flaws" God (the sun) will always forgive you (burn a hole) for your sins (your old flaws.)
"If you look toward the sky even on your greyest night" He will forgive you if you look to the heavens (sky) for his guidance. And he'll forgive you no matter how bad, how dark, or how unholy your circumstance is (your greyest night.)
"Could you be happy now, with the wind in your hair And your eyes open wide and your feet going nowhere?" God is asking, "Are you happy in the present, living your thrills, and letting your hair down, but going nowhere in your walk with Jesus Christ?"
Or, "Could you be happy to fall like a stone If you'd land right here safe in my arms?"
He's asking this person to make a choice. Stay lonely, living life striving to feel alive or actually live with God at your side.
Why do people choose to take matters into their own hands, and interpret every song they hear as religious? It's not like the people that aren't religious are going around posting shit all the time about how every song means God isn't real. So please keep the religious comments to yourself :) k? thanks.

Sorry Lespaulsmith, but this song is about God. Just because you don't like it doesn't give you a right to tell Christians to shut up. Aaron Marsh is a devout Christian. That's why you read Christian interpretations on these songs. Now, not every song of Copeland's is about God. I know that. But I completely agree with Bridget's comment for THIS song. You won't see me talking about God on a Copeland song that's clearly about a woman or on a Slipknot song.

Yeah I also have to agree with Beidget's comment.

This is a wonderful song. And I am anticipating this album a lot. I really love Aaron Marsh's lyrics.
I'm pretty sure the bridge is "The sun burns a hole straight through your old flaws. If you look toward the sky even on your greyest night . . . "
"The sun burns a hole straight through your old flaws If you look toward the sky even on your greyest night"
it's actually "The sun burns a hole straight through your hopeful eyes if you look toward the sky even on your greyest night"
from the cd booklet
it's fineeee
this is my favorite song from the album. so good.
i love this song. but i must say, i think the chorus should be "could you be happy to fall like a star", just to show that falling so deeply in love can seem to be out of this world.
Why can't every song make me feel this way?
Easily in the top 3 of this album.
'Each step will find the next one recklessly'
Falling (in love, failing, through the sky, in life) is literally rocking my thoughts lately. The imagery in this song puts those thoughts into perspective with a simple 'It's fine.' His falsetto makes it so comforting.
And Rae Cassidy needs a record deal. Her voice is such a contrast to his but fits so well in that bridge.
