Running To The Edge Of the World Lyrics
Remember when i took you up to the top of the hill,
We had our knives drawn,
they were sharp as we were in love.
If god crossed us we'd take all of his drugs,
burn his money and his house down,
and wait for the fire to spread.
But sometimes hate is not enough,
To turn this all to ashes,
Together as one against all others
Break all of our wings to make sure it crashes,
Now we're running to edge of the world,
running running away,
We're running to the edge of the world,
but i don't know if the world will end today.
I had no choice,
i erased the debt of our family,
i let you say goodbye with lips of dynamite,
And everyone turns their backs because they knew,
when we held on tight to each other,
that we were something fatal,
that fell into the wrong hands.
But sometimes hate is not enough,
To turn this all to ashes,
Together as one against all others
Break all of our wings to make sure it crashes,
we're running to edge of the world,
running running away,
We're running to the edge of the world,
but i don't know if the world will end today.
We don't seek death, we seek destruction,
Until death, we seek destruction.
Now we're running to edge of the world,
running running away,
We're running to the edge of the world,
but i don't know if the world will end today.
Now we're running to edge of the world,
running running away,
We're running to the edge of the world,
but i don't know if the world will end today.
I can see a new beginning,
rise behind the sun,
but we can never catch up to it,
as fast as we run

This is unlike anything by Manson that I've heard. Its not to say the song is bad,because its not. I mean it in a good way. It's unbelievabley beautiful and moving, and people who don't see the beauty in this are idiots.
This is such a beautiful song.. I think it's about being in a relationship where no one wants to see you together, but not giving a fuck.
"If God crossed us, we'd take all his drugs," Being so in love that God hisself could not split them up... is what its saying.
This album is diff and i like it.. this song is pretty awesome!
"sometimes hate is not enough to turn this all to ashes" This line makes me think he was really in love but suddenly something happened and all of that love turned into hate, but even all of that hate is not enough to make him forget about that girl... just there's no way he can forget about her, no matter how bad they ended up.
This is for me far the most touching MM's song, I feel this song specially sincere.
"Everyone turns their backs because they knew, when we held on tight to each other, that we were something fatal,that fell into the wrong hands."
my favorite line. can relate to that <3
I listened to this song for the first time today and was electrified! A total gem!
Def one of my all time Favorite MM songs! I FREAKING LUV THIS NEW ALBUM!
This song leads me to believe it is about Manson's break up with Evan. I could be wrong, but parts of the song make me think so...
For example - "Together as one against all others" - had a significant meaning to the both of them, and in their relationship
and "i let you say goodbye with lips of dynamite, And everyone turns their backs because they knew, when we held on tight to each other, that we were something fatal, that fell into the wrong hands."
makes it seem like she's walking away.
That's just my personal opinion.
This song sounds reminiscent to the sorrow in Eat Me, Drink Me, but without the overwhelming heart-break. I'm gonna go with the break-up with Evan explanation. This song is full of sorrow, but its mutual heartache, not one sided like EMDM.
I actually would like to think this one's about Dita. I mean I know in this album there's a mix between songs about Evan and songs about Dita. The only one I know for sure is Leave A Scar which is about Evan and is extremely insulting to her. I don't believe he could write a song that insulting about Evan one second and then write this beautiful heart warming work of art the next.
