Marilyn Manson's Anti-Christ Superstar w/ comments on album lyrics, the videos, and interviews and writings of Brian Warner.
The worm introduces himself, tell's us who/what he is.
Irresponsible Hate Anthem
I am so all-american, I'll sell you suicide
I am totalitarian, I've got abortions in my eyes
I hate the hater, I'd rape the raper
I am the animal who will not be himself
He is American society taken to the extreme. The all-violent, all-sexual, uninhibited monster that the decadence of American culture has unavoidably created from itself.
Well, why is he important? How did he get important?
Society made him important because society worships and adulates it own decadence and sinfulness. An adulation he, in character, mocks.
The Beautiful People
I don't want you and I don't need you
Don't bother to resist, I'll beat you
It's not your fault that you're always wrong
The weak ones are there to justify the strong
The beautiful people, the beautiful people
It's all relative to the size of your steeple
You can't see the forest for the trees
You can't smell your own shit on your knees
There's no time to discriminate,
Hate every motherfucker
That's in your way
The video shows Manson as a larger than life superstar haranguing an audience of adoring fans.
Why is society this way?
Capitalism has made it this way,
Old-fashioned fascism will take it away
Materialism is the root of all evil, and an evil society is a weak society and will eventually fall to totalitarianism.
More on capitalism, and some self-reflection...
Dried Up, Tied And Dead To The World
You cut off all of your fingers
Trade them in for dollar bills (he has sold out to materialism)
Cake on some more make-up to
Cover all those lines
Wake up and stop shaking
Cuz you're just wasting time (though he says 'you', he is refering to himself)
Don't you want some of this?
Don't you need some of this?
You take but cannot be given
You ride but cannot be ridden
Pinch this tiny heart of mine
Wrap it up in soiled twine
You never read what you've written (he's a hypocrite)
I'll be your lover, i'll be forever ("I'll Be Forever", a direct contradiction to lines from My Monkey, where he says "I can't be forever", why can he now be forever...?)
I'll be tomorrow, i am anything when i'm high (....drugs)
The next song was written about a dream he had (real life) where he made a woman out of manequin parts, his baby teeth from childhood, his fingernails, and his hair.
It details his domineering and lascivious sexual nature.
Tourniquet
she's made of hair and bone and little teeth
and things I cannot speak
she comes on like a crippled plaything
spine is just a string
I wrapped our love in all this foil
silver-tight like spider legs
I never wanted it to ever spoil
but flies will always lay their eggs
Take your hatred out on me
make your victim my head
you never ever believed in me
I am your tourniquet
prosthetic synthesis with butterfly
sealed up with virgin stitch
if it hurts, baby please tell me
preserve the innocence
I never wanted it to end like this
but flies will lay their eggs (flies will lay their eggs, he can not but help be what he is)
More opinion later...
