Edge and Pearl Lyrics
I’m infinite, beyond a doubt
No piece of shit’s gonna take me out
And I will not rest until this hell race is over
And the lights go out
I only do just what I believe in
Don’t battle my enemies
I have not a sinister heart, but a mind at peace
Be my prize, don’t go, don’t leave my eyes
Only for tonight
Give me life, hold on, don’t close your eyes
Not before tonight
I live for this, and I cite my pride
Now is the time when to pick a side
Cause you’ll have forever to remember this moment
And how you were denied
I only do what I have to, to win
To wake up our species
I have not a sinister heart, but a mind at peace
Do you fear that It’s no use, that if you fight you’ll only lose what little you have?
Or don’t you know enough to be afraid?
So this is what you choose? Fucking silence and abuse? No R 4 U!
Just go back to sleep and die a tool
No piece of shit’s gonna take me out
And I will not rest until this hell race is over
And the lights go out
I only do just what I believe in
Don’t battle my enemies
I have not a sinister heart, but a mind at peace
Only for tonight
Give me life, hold on, don’t close your eyes
Not before tonight
Now is the time when to pick a side
Cause you’ll have forever to remember this moment
And how you were denied
I only do what I have to, to win
To wake up our species
I have not a sinister heart, but a mind at peace
Or don’t you know enough to be afraid?
So this is what you choose? Fucking silence and abuse? No R 4 U!
Just go back to sleep and die a tool

That\'s basically a song about a complicated romantic relationship with an allegoric reference through super mario bros. The main character essentially struggles to conquer the heart of this person and truly wants it, like in a videogame.
Man, that last line is just fucking awesome. Great song.
Sounds like it's from the POV of a transhuman or extraterrestrial vampire. "Be my prize" and "give me life" addresses the prey. "I'm infinite beyond a doubt" indicates being way-more-than-human, and "not a sinister heart, but a mind at peace" suggests some sort of mental transcendence. "To wake up our species" means either to begin an uprising and conquest of the world by the human race's successor.
See http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=NoR4U for a definition of "No R 4 U," which suggests that the source, if there is one, is a video game.
Update: Edge is a character, and Pearl (in early English editions, later known as Holy) is an important spell, in Final Fantasy IV. However, in this game, I don't think Edge could cast Pearl since Edge is a ninja and it isn't a ninja spell. Anyone here played FF4?
It's about super smash brothers. seriously.
