Lyrics
It’s a long way down and the ledge is high
The people look like ants
I should be feeling panic now
I shouldn’t have worn my hot pants
I should really reconsider, but my mind is made up
I’ll time it to perfection, destroy a passing truck
I should be sorry, all things told, but this will be alright
I wonder at the very last if I might gain some insight
The wind is getting stronger now, perhaps another day
I want to make a statement, not a sidewalk buffet for the pigeons
Tomorrow will be better, no need to miss my step
Go back inside for now, and do some prep
Cos its a long way down and the ledge is high
People look like ants, far below

Powerful. I’ve been on the ledge before. Hope the song is a metaphor or a way for you to process the darkness without destroying anyone, especially you.
Please know that some people do care and the pain can fade.
