You may be confusing the translation of the word you are using to get "lid". Your question makes more sense if the translation is "edge". As in "someone being on-edge" and something being "on the edge".

If a person is on edge, it means they are highly tense or nervous.

If a person is on the edge, they are in a precarious position (such as an edge of a cliff) or in a state of keen excitement.
