Running To The Edge of The World.

The Video:

at the start he seems to be setting up a camera, later in the video you see him with a pen and a note book.

Perhaps he is hinting at the theme of I Wanna Kill You Like They Do In The Movies, or perhaps not. Tell me what you think.

Running to the Edge of the World is metaphorical. The beginning is Marilyn Manson crying, being weak and vulnerable, gripping onto something that cannot grip him back. Near the end he kills Kelly, who symbolises Evan.

That's how he actually was; when Evan left his life, he was a vulnerable mess, aimlessly cutting himself, getting fucked up on drugs and alcohol, but after a period of time, he's gotten over her; she's now dead to him.

Wonderful explanation. A lot of people have said " the girl is Evan" but they never went into as much detail as you.

Thanks!

ps death is the theme, maybe, it all depends, and you dont "see" it, you "hear" via the news... you know, so i can see where the whole "death is real" comes from, however manson wouldnt make this song/video just for that, we should all know that, so something about death maybe? we dont seek death we seek destruction? she didnt only die she got destroyed? lol well i think he made it so its entirely up to you, thats probably why you dont get it... you're used to people making decisions for you...

I thought your comment was perfect right up to the back handed compliment. I'm perfectly capable of making my own conclusions. I like your interpretation of the video, I must have missed a few things here as I've only seen the video twice. Thanks for your explanation. Next time don't be a dick about it?

its all good... srry i left soooo many comments, its haard for me to explain stuff without making it long, and i like my explanations to not look like gibberish. yeah at first i was pissed at it (my computer wouldnt play sound so i went online on my wii and could only see a tiny version) i thought it was just him and then deaath of a girl. and srry for soundin like a dick, i was tryin to be but not as much as other people, but it wasn't meant to be hateful

[Sypher555]

it's alright! I love hearing from some one with such great points and clear passion for the topic

I look forward to hearing from you more on this stuff

Meh, you just hate him, cause you found out he's a rockstar.

He was just pissed off about Evan. The actor in the music video symbolizes Evan, and what the wanted to do to her.

i think the song is awesome with or without the video, either way its a great song. yeah the video wasnt as elaborate or exciting as his usual work..but to me this showed a softer more emotional manson, which i thought was pretty bold..even if he was acting. we've never seen him look so sorrowful have we?? so it was nice to see that aswell. Marilyn Manson is still the most intelligent man in the room..i dont think that will ever change, whether or not ppl think his videos are going downhill :)

@SurrealisticSanity Actually the beginning is him full of remorse and memories after he killed the b.

[mansonisg0d]

this video is about his pain and what she did to her. and then changes to the horrible scenes that he played over and over in his because of what she did to him. if you really dedicated years of your life to him you'd have a better understanding of him and the song. the entire album is about him picking himself up from the mess that she made of him. just read the title for gods sake. "The high end of low" he's finally found i high point in the grave that she threw him in.
