Hi everyone,
Does this mean, 'on the edge of life/just about still living?'
"أيا كان حجم الألم، ادفنيه، احفري عميقا وادفنيه، الألم خلق ليدفن، ليغوص عميقا فينا، ليذوب ويتحلل، ليسري في دمائنا،
فيبقينا على حافة الحياة ...يبقينا أحياء على أي حال
"
Thanks!

on the sidelines of life
sitting/living/being on the sidelines of life instead of on the field/in life, taking control instead of watching life go by or allowing life to go through you instead of you going through it.
Sounds like the speaker suffers from acute depression to the extent of victimization and apathy and find pleasure in their pain.

Just about living
Meaning of the edge of life is slightly positive
to have a life with many dangers and risks, especially because you like to behave in an extreme and unusual way.

Keep us living a dangerous life
Keep us just about living (it's a continuous struggle).

On the edge of livingness
مثل على حافة الموت، تعني قريب من الموت. فتكون هنا في افضل حال لأنه يجرب خبرة من خبرات الحياة.
الألم مرير صحيح ولكن يجعلك تشعر بأنك الآن وموجود في اللحظة الحالية.
والله أعلم
