The World's Edge Lyrics
These are different lives
Being lived at the same time
Like holding on to a whole
The world's edge is closer
I'm gonna leap right off her
And that will be the end of me
Intersecting lines
Falling way behind
I'm walking on a rope
I'm Drifting from her
I've never been further
All I know is right
Dreams drift right past me
Being lived at the same time
Like holding on to a whole
The world's edge is closer
I'm gonna leap right off her
And that will be the end of me
Intersecting lines
Falling way behind
I'm walking on a rope
I'm Drifting from her
I've never been further
All I know is right
Dreams drift right past me

to me this song means something like a new world expirenced and you want to be there and that makes this world closer to its edge
For some reason I think a major theme of this song is arbitrariness. There is not much more I have to say now.
Favorite lyric: "All I know is right Dreams drift right past me"
john does know a lot bout that kind of stuff and i think it might just be that. its a wee bit like rhcps song cant stop. it has that feeling to it too dont ya think.
Yea I haven't thought of it that way. I haven't yet tried to link much of JF's work with RHCP, but I recently read that John said in an interview that he thought Anthony might have wrote Parallel Universe with John in mind or something like that. Another note about this song; I love the ending of the song, like so many his.
I have an interpretative correction: "Like holding on to a whole" should be "Like holding on to a hole"
Holding onto nothing? Taking the leap of 'faith'? I think 'the end of me' is the end of identity, mind, ego?
I guess it's about esoterism and soul, John is really deep in that. He almost slipped of the world's edge! Awesome writer.
i've got to say he is eveloving through music like a little child but he knows what he's doing and he makes people relize feelings
