Creed Six Feet From The Edge Lyrics
Remember Creed? Of course, you do! Those anthemic rock songs filled stadiums and angsty teenage mixtapes alike.
But have you ever really *listened* to the lyrics of "Six Feet From The Edge"? Buckle up, because it's a wild ride of existential angst and, surprisingly, relatable struggles.
The Edge: Not Just a Guitarist
The song title itself paints a picture: someone standing precariously close to the metaphorical edge. We're talking about emotional overload here, people! It’s like when your phone battery hits 1% and you *know* the charger's in the other room.
Think of it as that feeling you get on Monday morning after a particularly wild weekend.
"I'm six feet from the edge and I'm thinking, maybe six feet ain't so far down"
Okay, Scott Stapp, calm down! That's a pretty dramatic opening line, right? It’s like saying, "I'm *this* close to ordering pizza for breakfast...again." We've all been there.
This line is the song’s hook for a reason. It paints the picture of desperation.
The vulnerability is palpable, even if you're just stressed about parallel parking.
Angst, Meet Laundry
The lyrics delve into feelings of inadequacy and the overwhelming weight of the world. But let’s be real, sometimes "the world" is just a pile of unfolded laundry staring you down.
We all have those moments, the lyrics explore the feeling in musical form.
Stapp's voice delivers the lyrics as if he is wrestling a demon, but it is actually as simple as putting on clean socks.
"I can't feel a thing, I don't belong here"
Ever walk into a party and immediately regret your outfit choice? Yeah, it’s like that. The lyrics encapsulate that feeling of not quite fitting in, of feeling like you're on the outside looking in.
It is that moment where you realize everyone else got the memo except you.
Finding the Light (Switch)
Amidst all the brooding, there's a glimmer of hope. The song hints at a desire for change, a yearning for something better. Like finally finding the light switch after fumbling around in the dark, hoping you don’t step on the cat.
There is a chance to change the current situation presented in the song.
It is up to you to change it for the better.
The Power of Belting It Out
One of the beauties of "Six Feet From The Edge" is that, even if you can't relate to the specific struggles, you can still belt it out in your car with reckless abandon. Who hasn’t done that? It's cathartic!
It is more like shouting along while you are doing dishes.
You find you inner rockstar persona.
"I'm six feet from the edge and I'm thinking, maybe six feet ain't so far down"
So, the next time you hear Creed blasting on the radio, take a moment to appreciate the surprisingly relatable lyrics. And remember, even when you're feeling six feet from the edge, there's always hope (and maybe a clean pair of socks) just around the corner.
After all, rock and roll is a shared experience, or screaming together at the top of your lungs with the windows down.
