I don't remember one moment I tried to forget
I lost myself yet I'm better not sad
Now I'm closer to the edge
It was a a thousand to one and a million to two
Time to go down in flames and I'm taking you
Closer to the edge
No I'm not saying I'm sorry
One day, maybe we'll meet again
No I'm not saying I'm sorry
One day, maybe we'll meet again
No, no, no, no
Can you imagine a time when the truth ran free
A birth of a song, a death of a dream
Closer to the edge
This never ending story, hate 4 wheel driving fate
We all fall short of glory, lost in ourself [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/0-9/30_seconds_to_mars/closer_to_the_edge.html ]
No I'm not saying I'm sorry
One day, maybe we'll meet again
No I'm not saying I'm sorry
One day, maybe we'll meet again
No, no, no, no
No, no, no, no
I will never forget
No, no
I will never regret
No, no
I will live my life
No, no, no, no
I will never forget
No, no
I will never regret
No, no
I will live my life
No I'm not saying I'm sorry
One day, maybe we'll meet again
No, no
No, I'm not saying I'm sorry
One day, maybe we'll meet again
No, no, no, no
Closer to the edge
Closer to the edge
No, no, no, no
Closer to the edge
Closer to the edge
No, no, no, no
The line that says 'hate 4 wheel driving fate' if you listen closely can also be interpreted as 'paid for with pride and faith' or 'paid for with pride and fate' i'm not quite sure what meaning that that holds but i thought i could contribute it =)

No regrets, no saying sorry, no saying that this is the end because it's not and eventually everything will be okay. One day we will all be happy and hopefully in the next life we will all be able to have the dreams that we lost and the people we have missed. Everything will be okay in the end; if it's not okay, it's not the end.

I think it means that he will never forget what he did yet he will never say sorry becaues he wont regret that moment because he knows that he will never get it back instead he will just live his life and learn from his expericence

Never holding on to the things that will only bring you down. Living your life to the point where you're feel and just living life to its fullest

Enjoy your life and we all fail at times or stumble in our lives. The important thing is to get up and embrace life to the fullest. No regrets!!! My wife died last year unexpectedly and this song has inspired me so much since then to just never forget her but to also go on in my life and live with no regrets. I will meet her again someday and i will be able to tell her that i was closer to the edge and almost fell off but instead i said no no no!!! The lyric -- a birth of a song and the death of a dream to me means actually my life now is like a new song that is being written everyday as i continue on in my life and the death of a dream is the life that i lost with my wife when she died.

Living always trying to make the impossible, possible, never quit anything, always fight for it, and although we fail, never regrets because in this life, we have to learn of every mistake we make.

It's a song that encourages you to look past the mistakes you've made because failure is an event... Not a person. And that there is always a way out, no matter how far down you've gone.
