Music details
A blog by Metal Hammer has said of "Running to the Edge of the World" that "With more acoustic guitar, this sounds initially like 90s Bon Jovi solo material. But then the clicky/bleepy electronic beats kick in and you know ugly juxtaposition is coming. Manson joins in with a sad – almost melancholic – vocal line about burning houses. Joined by strings, the slow plodder plods on and without a strong vocal melody the chords sound like 'Love Is All Around' by Wet Wet Wet. Manson's clever wordplay was always one of his most endearing facets, and sadly he seems to have run slightly dry. The interesting little middle eight isn't enough to save this song from being quite dull – especially when the six and a half minutes of it seems to offer little to warrant such length."[1]

(...) take all his drugs, burn his money and his house down
And wait for the fire to spread
