The Edges Are No Longer Parallel Lyrics

Cover art for The Edges Are No Longer Parallel lyrics by Morrissey

I always thought the song was about losing one's grasp with reality. Slowly going insane. Edges are no longer parallel, meaning extremes colliding with one another. Good/bad , happy/sad, they are all now one and the same. Constantly living in a world of extremes. Hence "no law of averages here" line.

Just my 2 cents. It's a great song.
