Discover the story of the song > Edge of Thorns – Savatage

The lyrics talk about someone (the protagonist) reflecting on a past romantic relationship (with a woman referred to as 'she') and the reasons why it didn't work out. There's a sense of regret and nostalgia for what could have been, but the protagonist has moved on and doesn't think about his partner anymore. The song also touches on the idea of dreams and how they can become lost or hidden over time.
