„On the Edge“ is a seminal work that serves as an explosive sound manifesto, meticulously delineating the process of transmutation of emotional borderline experiences into a form of raw, physical energy. Janeuary channels her inner tension through tribal-like percussion that she recorded herself. This phenomenon of self-expression lends the song an almost ritualistic dimension. The drumming is old-school but also really immediate, and it makes you feel something deep down, like it’s right there in your body.
The lyrics revolve around life in a state of emergency – a constant balancing act between emptiness and overstimulation. The repeated invocation of the “edge” becomes a cipher for consciously lingering in the unknown. Silence is not understood here as a lack, but as a condensed presence. The figures in the song are emotionally disconnected and yet connected – through a shared numbness that paradoxically creates intimacy.
With „On the Edge“, Janeuary achieves a poetic-archaic liberation: uncompromising, trance-like and deeply human.
