You know enough to know the way
Six billion people, just one name (I found)
I found tomorrow in today
Apocalyptic and insane, my dreams will never change
You wanna be the one in control
You wanna be the one who's alive
You wanna be the one who's sold
It's not a matter of luck,
It's just a matter of time
Stand out on the edge of the earth
Stand out on the edge of the earth,
Dive into the center of fate
Walk right in the sight of a gun,
Look into this new future's face
I know you know enough to...say
I know you know enough to...play a game
You wanna be the one in control (control)
You wanna be the one who's alive (alive)
You wanna be the one who's sold (is sold)
It's not a matter of luck,
It's just a matter of time
Stand out on the edge of the earth,
Dive into the center of fate
Walk right in the sight of a gun,
Look into this new future's face
(x2)
(Stand out on the edge of the earth)
Stand out on the edge of the earth
Stand out on the edge of the earth
(Look into this new future's face)
Stand out on the edge of the earth
(stand out on the edge of the earth x2)
Dive into the center of fate
Walk right in the sight of a gun
(walk into the sight of a gun)
Look into this new future's face
I believe this song is about wanting to be free and be unique. I also think it is about taking risks and not always playing in on the safe side.
To be free: I believe he feels as though he is kept prisonner, and his only wish, or dream, is to escape. "You wanna be the one in control. You wanna be the one who's alive. You wanna be the one who's old.", referring to the person keeping him prisoner. "My dreams will never change", referring to his dream of freedom and escape.
To be unique:"Six billion people just one name", meaning we are all the same.
Taking risks: The bridge and the chorus talks about taking risks - "Stand out on the edge of the earth. Dive into the center of fate. Walk right in the sight of a gun. Look into the new future's face."
