Edge of the World
Faith No More Lyrics

Come here, my love
Addressing a person of affection to initiate a secret sharing session

I'll tell you a secret
Promising to share a secret with a loved one in order to create an atmosphere of intimacy

Come closer, now
Inviting the loved one to come forward to hear the secret

I want you to believe it
Requesting the loved one to trust and believe what is about to be revealed

I'll tell you all the things
Promising to reveal things the loved one wants to hear

You want to hear
Indicating that the coming revelation is entirely for the pleasure and interests of the loved one

Don't worry, baby
Assuring the loved one to be free of any worries, suggesting the revelation is neither negative nor fatal

There's nothing to fear
Asserting that there is no element of fear at all in the forthcoming revelation

Hey, little girl
Addressing a young girl evoking the potential of being a perpetrator of inappropriate affection

Would you like some candy
Offering a bribe to lure the young girl into accepting the perpetrator’s advances

Look into my eyes
Staring into the eyes of the young girl to assert dominance

I've seen it all
Making the girl believe that the perpetrator has more knowledge and experience in order to establish an authoritative position

Hand in hand
Holding the young girl’s hand as a sign of false protection

Together we fall
Indicating that the perpetrator and the victim would inevitably meet an unfortunate end collectively

We'll sing and dance
Portraying a false positive image of the actual events that are not likely to happen

And we'll find romance
Distorting the actual setting as a romantic scenario to obfuscate the harm being intended

And we'll stroll to the edge of the world
Suggesting a false sense of adventure and excitement that is entirely unmatched to reality

Come sit right down
Inviting the young girl to sit very close to the perpetrator

Lay your head on my shoulder
Encouraging the victim to display affection towards the perpetrator

It's not the point
Justifying that the victim being underage is not a concern or an obstacle for the perpetrator

That I'm forty years older
Showing that the perpetrator is much older than the victim and making the significant age difference appear insignificant

You can trust me
Asserting that the victim can trust the perpetrator even if their actions say otherwise

I'm no criminal
Claiming to be innocent, trustworthy and giving the impression that their actions are benign

But I'd kill my mother
Creating the impression that the perpetrator is capable of doing anything to get what they want

To be with you, be with you, be with you, be with you
Highlighting the obsessiveness of the perpetrator's feelings towards the victim

Give me a smile
Demanding an affectionate gesture from the victim to create a sense of intimacy

Let me see those pearlies
Referring to the victim's teeth as a playful way to induce a smile and diminish the seriousness of this interaction

I'll do anything
Revealing the perpetrator's eagerness to bend the rules to suit their desires

For the little girlies
Stating that the perpetrator has a preference for underage girls
