Flying on the Edge Lyrics
Sitting on the runway waiting for the rush
Talking to the band but no one's saying much
Flying out of Monza playing for the gods
Heading out to Deutschland we've got to beat the odds
We were flying on the edge
Running out of time
Flying on the edge
Standing on the line
We were flying on the edge
You've got to let us go
Flying on the edge
We've got to make the show
Waiting in the thunder, lighting and the rain
We ain't going nowhere we need a bigger plane
Jensen phoned the airline booked another flight
We could make a concert if they timed it right
And the rain came down
Thunderstruck and lightning all around
And we flew on through
Glad to get our feet back on the ground
Touching down in Dortmund driving hard and fast
The night was closing in are we gonna last
we made it to the backstage with seconds left to spare
Rocking hard and crazy metal filled the air
We were flying on the edge
Running out of time
Flying on the edge
Standing on the line
We were flying on the edge
You've got to let us go
Flying on the edge
We've got to make the show
Talking to the band but no one's saying much
Flying out of Monza playing for the gods
Heading out to Deutschland we've got to beat the odds
Running out of time
Flying on the edge
Standing on the line
We were flying on the edge
You've got to let us go
Flying on the edge
We've got to make the show
We ain't going nowhere we need a bigger plane
Jensen phoned the airline booked another flight
We could make a concert if they timed it right
Thunderstruck and lightning all around
And we flew on through
Glad to get our feet back on the ground
The night was closing in are we gonna last
we made it to the backstage with seconds left to spare
Rocking hard and crazy metal filled the air
Running out of time
Flying on the edge
Standing on the line
We were flying on the edge
You've got to let us go
Flying on the edge
We've got to make the show

I believe that this song is possibly based on a real moment from their career, as it's a journey of a band racing against time to make it to their concert while facing various obstacles along the way. The song revolves around the adrenaline-fueled rush and determination to overcome challenges before them, specifically bad weather delaying their plane, from delivering an electrifying performance for their fans. They book a flight with a bigger plane to fly through the thunder to beat the clock in the race to the stage.
You can also view it as having the determination and will to overcome tough obstacles before you. It can resonate with anyone who has experienced the exhilaration and pressure of chasing a dream and overcoming obstacles to achieve their goals.
