Lady Gaga – Edge Of Glory lyrics
There ain't no reason you and me should be alone
Tonight, yeah baby
Tonight, yeah baby
I got a reason that you're who should take me home tonight

I need a man that thinks it's right when it's so wrong
Tonight, yeah baby
Tonight, yeah baby
Right on the limits where we know we both belong tonight

It's hard to feel the rush
To push the dangerous
I'm gonna run right to, to the edge with you
Where we can both fall over in love

I'm on the edge of glory
And I'm hanging on a moment of truth
Out on the edge of glory
And I'm hanging on a moment with you
I'm on the edge
The edge
The edge
The edge
The edge
The edge
The edge
I'm on the edge of glory
And I'm hanging on a moment with you
I'm on the edge with you

Another shot before we kiss the other side
Tonight, yeah baby
Tonight, yeah baby
I'm on the edge of something final we call life tonight
Alright, alright

Put on your shades 'cause I'll be dancing in the flames
Tonight, yeah baby
Tonight, yeah baby
It isn't hell if everybody knows my name tonight
Alright, alright

It's hard to feel the rush
To push the dangerous
I'm gonna run right to, to the edge with you
Where we can both fall over in love

I'm on the edge of glory
And I'm hanging on a moment of truth
Out on the edge of glory
And I'm hanging on a moment with you
I'm on the edge
The edge
The edge
The edge
The edge
The edge
The edge
I'm on the edge of glory
And I'm hanging on a moment with you
I'm on the edge with you

I'm on the edge with you

I'm on the edge with you

I'm on the edge of glory
And I'm hanging on a moment of truth
Out on the edge of glory
And I'm hanging on a moment with you
I'm on the edge
The edge
The edge
The edge
The edge
The edge
The edge
I'm on the edge of glory
And I'm hanging on a moment with you
I'm on the edge with you

    I almost feel like "The Edge Of Glory" is a continuation or a sequel of Lady Gaga's earlier song "Red And Blue" as Stefani Germanotta. They both have the feel of Gaga's being in love with a man who doesn't closely match her, but as we all know, opposites attract. "I need a man that thinks it's right when it's so wrong" implies that she knows he may not be the best for her, but she's already on the edge. Of falling in love with him, of glory.

    This song is actually about lady gaga's grandfather and grandmothers relationship this is a story told from the grandfathers point of view and spending his last moments with her before he died, lady gaga talks about the meaning on her interview with howard stern. If you listen to the interview she breaks the entire song down its really beautiful and after knowing the meaning I can cry everytime I hear it. Nobody isin love as grandparents were.

    I think its about committing suicide. :-) there's a line that say another shot before we kiss the other side. We can say that the "other side" they are referring to is death or hell or heaven. But most probably it's hell because there's a line that says dancing in the flames. The whole song might be telling that she's embracing hell because of the upbeat tempo suggesting that ts fun.

    I think this song is saying that you don't have to kiss your boyfriend every two seconds but you just have to make sure that they know you love them. He is also saying that you need someone that understands you and can think like you. She is trying to make people understand that just because you and your partner arent exactly alike dowsnt mean that you can't be together.

    Actually, it she said it was written the night of her grandfather's passing. She was talking to her dad who was feeling quite sad about it and she said don't be sad because he's on the edge of the most glorious moment in life. He's lived a wonderful life and won in so many ways. So this song was a tribute to him. When she's talking about him passing onto the other side, that's what she means.

    When I am most alone and miss my mom/ a beam of light from a meteor comes/ streaking cross the sky/ and I cry/. Not from sadness. /but from pure joy. I know my mom is out on the edge of glory and I am with her there in an amazing way. Lady gaga's song is a reminder of those moments when I say hi mom, up to the sky and she says hi right back in an awesome and glorious way. Nine times this has happened. Now how glorious is that?

    Many years ago, I climbed 14, 400 foot mt rainier in wash state during an ice-rescue training course. Our 12- climber team started at 2: 00 am because the sun would weaken some of the snow-bridges and be dangerous later in the day. One of the climbers was the hottest girl I had ever seen. She was in my 3-person rope team but I had not talked with her much during the course. At about 4: 00 am we had reached a large ledge for a snack & water break (and to adjust to the altitude) at the 12, 000 foot level of our climb, just as the sun rose in the east over the cascade mts. Exploding into a thousand colors. The sun rise was wildest, most beautiful sight I had ever seen. This girl was standing next to me also watching it. Without thinking, I look at her and said, "that's almost as good as making love... " she stepped closer to me and said, "let's find out". She took my hand and we walked out of sight of the other climbers and had the most passionate love-making I had experienced ever. Also the most awkward, given the gear we had to shed. The reduced oxygen at that level probably had something to do with it, too. That was my edge of glory and I am sure that, years later, lgg wrote this song just for us. Oh wow oh wow oh wow.

    It remind me of my first time riding diamond back being afraid of heights. My first time gettting my ears pierced being afraid of needles. Its the first time jumping off the diving board being ofraid of drowning. The first time falling love being afraid of gettin hurt. The first time of finally wearing a bikini being afraid of being fat. My first time back on my bike after a major accident. My first time in middle school being scared to meet new people. Its being afraid of all those things but still doing them. Taking chances when you are totally afraid. And still making it through. Its the feeling of still being alive after conquring your fears. I did all those things and am here to tell about them today. That's what edge of glory means to me.

    I've heard of this song before but I never really paid much attention to it because I'm not much of a gaga fan. Being a guy and all. But I'm listening to it today because it defines the state of what I'm in right now. I just feel like I'm on the edge of something because I like this girl who will never be mine. When I listen to this song, it gives me a sense of understanding, understanding of what you want your life to be, even if it's not something that will come true.

    These lyrics mean to me that I am just on the edge of glory, the edge of where I'm almost done with something that I will find glory in and that it's up to me to believe in myself and prove to everyone I love that I have it in me to finish what I've started and that's finishing school. I'm so close to that edge of glory of walking across the stage in front of my friends and family to prove that I have what it takes to get my piece of this society with a college eduation.

    Ok why does everything have to be about s**. I am only gonna assume men are the ones responding back saying" it must be about sex" filthy pigs. I'm so happy I'm a lesbian. The song is not about s** not at all its about her grandparents feelings for eachother before he died. She might dress out of the ordinary but she does have a brain and the songs she writes. Yes she writes. Are smart and have deeper meanings. Shes very poetic and beautiful.

    Gaga wrote this song as a tribute to her grandparents. How during their years together, they made it to the edge of glory. They didn't regret a minute of it. My best friend, my hs sweetheart and musical soul mate passed away this october and this song was so special to us. We lived and loved each other no matter what life brought us. No matter how much time passed. We truley did live on the edge of glory and now he lives in my music as well as gagas.

    05-09-2011.
    Rated 1 "the edge of glory" was revealed by lady gaga, in an interview with google. She stated that the song is "about your last moment on earth, the moment of truth, the moment before you leave earth. " in the same interview gaga stated that she wrote "the edge of glory" after the death of her grandfather. Inspirations of the song came from the death of gaga's grandfather, who passed away in late 2010.

    Well this isn't supposed to be a love song. It was written for her grandfather after he passed away. Whenever someone dies gaga always says they've "passed the edge into their glory" as in they've finally crossed the edge into the after life. "another shot before we kiss the other side", she's saying let's do something dangerous before we die. People really need to stop assuming that every song that mentions a man is about a boyfriend/lover.

    When I first heard this song, the lyrics in conjunction with how she sounds when she sings it reminded me of being so in love with someone and realizing the fear of loss that comes along with that love. Being in love is like standing on a mountain top- unfortunately, being that high means a long way down to fall. It is glorifying, but also potentially on the edge of disaster.

    'The Edge of Glory' is a tribute. A tribute to love, life, and the Monster in all of us. They can doubt it, but people who say they "hate Lady Gaga" can't help but listen to what she has to say (or at least dance a little). Her lyrics are catchy for that reason; so people can't get them out of their heads, and they sing hear it so many times, they're forced to find the meaning in each word. Lady Gaga is a visionary, an icon, and in all honesty, someone this world really needed.

    The edge of glory is a very heartfelt song that she clearly spent a lot of time on. The song is about the night her grandfather died. If you listen at the beginning, the first few notes sound like a very slow heartbeat, which is then joined by a more intense heartbeat (gaga and her grandfather). Later in her song, there is a very intense instrumental, in which a buzzer sounds. This is to represent the intensity before her grandfather died, then the buzzer on the heart rate monitor. It's a beautiful song.

    Of all the songs to play to today, this is probably the most original and derivative out there. Lyrically, it's a springsteen "born to run" era reject. Visually, it's a circus of light and sound that looks like a david bowie gang movie. Staying with it's springsteen tone, it's mostly about love in a dark backdrop. It can be anywhere. A small town, an imposing city, a quiet suburb. The "teenagers in revolt" quality present in most songs like this are what provides the grit and substance, but this one can pull it off without seeming cheesy and uninspired. It seems as if gaga poured her anger and heart into a dark techno ballad about love and lack thereof.

    By the way this song is not about s**. Here is proof. What satan desires is to steal glory from god and be worshiped. Hence on the edge of glory because all the world is decieved into worshipping him. What does the bible say? Raising your hands to god is a sign of worship and submission. What do you see people doing in every concert when hearing this ungodly music? Throwing their hands in the air and bowing down to these idols. The bible calls the faslse idols. Ita a trick of the devil to destroy your soul and this sond is only him telling you how he is on the edge of glory (but its only for a short time) he is was and always will be a liar. I will tell you why these singers worship the devil. Matthew 4: 9 satan told jesus. If only you will worship me I will give you the world. He really does have the ability to control and decieve society into making a person famous. God bless you all.

    I never could figure out the meaning. The music video had no meaning, but once you take the lyrics into context it's so much clearer. It's about wanting to go all the way and the whole born this way album is quite theatrical and related to god and his judgment on us. Her and her man are like why shouldn't we be together, and even more meaning why shouldn't any two people be together. And then they are both hanging on to their glory, but fall in love (cute little phrase, such as don't trip or you'll fall for me type thing). I just figured this out once I looked up the lyrics here and it was quite clear lol. But I've turned on lady gaga. This album was mediocre, but view spectacular because of her credit of two amazing prior albums. She things she's a role model or starting a revolution. I don't like what she tells people. Everyone says she worships the devil thru illuminati and sold her soul to the fame. After the eerie marry the night video which I refuse to watch again, its obvious one of two things. 1) she worships the devil and trying to convert us 2) she wants people to think she worships the devil for her "unique" image. However more and more people are turning against her. This album had great promotion, but it was really bad for gaga. I was kind of hoping hair would be a single; it was an okay song but such passionate lyrics. Unless her third album is fkn amazing like her first two and she goes back to being unique and cool rather than trying too hard and not even fun to look at anymore. I'm done. Create another pokerface, love game, bad romance, alejandro. And improve the videos. Telephone was her last music video that was amazing.

    It means being close to a symbolic representation of god. With that being said, we all have god within us. It is just up to us an individual to go deep within ourselves and expose our inner beauty by embracing it very wisely. No matter what other people say or think of you or me. That is because at the end of the day as an individual only you know what you truly want out of your life. In other words, what you want to become which is destined and created for all of us to capture.

    Oh -- and the "edge of glory" is obviously an orgasam. How can you guys miss that?
    It's obvious she's shacking up with a dude for a one-night stand. "i need a man who thinks it's right when it's so wrong. " and "i'll be dancing in the flames" (i. E. Hell) -- this is obviously about the sin of s** out of wedlock. Don't get me wrong -- it's a great song, but you guys are totally missing the point!
