Edge Of Desire

*most of what I've read before this seems really off to me** Look, this song is not about your girlfriend/boyfriend of 3 months. This song is all about losing that one person who touched your heart in a way nobody else has. When you lose a love that strong it hurts beyond anything else in the world. To me, this song is all about love, fear, and pride. He wants to be with this person more than anything else in the world but time has created separation and they now have their own lives...i get the distinct sense that there is something standing in the way...an argument, something that happened, maybe someone lied about something or whatever it is, his armor is on but this song is his true feeling deep down in his heart pouring out. Best way to explain is below line by line:

Young and full of running Tell me where's that taking me? Just a great figure 8 or a tiny infinity

**this was explained well above, hes saying i've tried to run away from this and move on but I can't..nobody else makes me feel the way you do and I am scared of the future..what if I never find that same feeling again?***

Love is really nothing But a dream that keeps waking me For all of my trying You still end up dying How can it be?

frustration with this endless battle....he can put all the armor on he wants and try to move on but when all distractions are out of the way he can't sleep because he's missing what he truly thinks/fears is his other half

Don't say a word, just come over and lie here with me 'Cause I'm just about to set fire to everything I see I want you so bad I'll go back on the things I believe There I just said it, I'm scared you'll forget about me

this part is incredible...so much feeling. This is the cry deep within his heart begging her to just come over and let everything that happened die if only for a few moments so that they can just lay together and be whole again. His frustration and even anger with what happened is too much to bear all the time. The last 2 lines are really key. "I'll go back on the things I believe" I think this is really his way of saying I love you so much I'll throw away my pride and everything else in the world if i can just hold you then nothing else matters. This to me is the core of the song....loving someone more than yourself or anything else is that kind of love that truly breaks your heart. "Im scared you'll forget about me" he's saying he can't get over her and he's terrified at the idea of her moving on and living her own life being happy...basically he thinks about her so much that it would wreck his heart if she didn't think about him that way at all

So young and full of running, all the way to the edge of desire Steady my breathing, silently screaming, "I have to have you now" Wired and I'm tired Think I'll sleep in my clothes on the floor Maybe this mattress will spin on its axis and find me on yours steady my breathing, silently screaming...he's struggling trying to move on and be ok but inside he's dieing. Maybe this mattress will spin on its axis and find me on yours....i think this is his way of expressing his wish that he could go back through time and be in her bed cuddling and feel whole again

The "figure eight" "tiny infinity" is basically his way of saying I have tried to live without you and move on like everyone told me to but as hard as i try when all the lights shut off and I am in bed all I can think about is you.
