This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
As we need a 'Why'
And I'll the 'Who' for an
Apocalypse 'how'
If the world had one neck, my hands would be the 'where'
And I would choke all of you down
I would choke all of you down
I would choke all of you down
Give me a picket sign
And make it blank and white
Like all those stupid teenage girls
We are gonna to need them were we're going tonight
All you fuckers vote beep beep beep
In drunk karaoke cars
If it's too dumb to see, or say, you still sing it
I'll just cue the applause
Lets make sure the music is loud enough we won't even hear it end
Lets make sure the music is loud enough we won't even hear it end
Give me a picket sign
And make it blank and white
Like all those stupid teenage girls
We are gonna to need them were we're going tonight
I want to celebrate
I want to sell your hate
Today's the day you're gonna fucking die
I want to celebrate
I want to sell your hate
Your demons want to give you a proper goodbye
All you fuckers vote beep beep beep
In drunk karaoke cars
If it's too dumb to see, or say, you still sing it
I'll just cue the applause
Give me a picket sign
And make it blank and white
Like all those stupid teenage girls
We are gonna to need them were we're going tonight
I want to celebrate
I want to sell your hate
Today's the day you're gonna fucking die
I want to celebrate
I want to sell your hate
Your demons want to give you a proper goodbye
I want to celebrate
I want to sell your hate
Today's the day you're gonna fucking die
I want to celebrate
I want to sell your hate
Your demons want to give you a proper goodbye
Give me a picket sign
And make it blank and white

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
definitly about teenage girls who are either using manson to pretend to be a rebel and be 'hardcore' but when he makes a song thats not load enough they drop him like hes nothing, there not paying attension to the lyrics or meaning, they just want some hardcore shit to make them seem like rockers or something.
"As if we need a "why" i'll be it " i think hes saying the world is messed up enough at this point, so much that he doesnt even have to talk about it, so why are all these 'rebels' begging for another antichrist superstar?
"Give me a picket sign, and make it blank and white, Like all those stupid teenager girls"
a picket sign, a stand against something, but if its blank and white and has no message, theres no point. hes saying these stupid teenager girls are rebeling/protesting against nothing. they have no message to send, they dont know wtf there doing.
"I want to celebrate, i want to sell your hate, today's the day you're gonna fucking die"
sorta speaks for itself, hes gonna celebrate there hate even though its sorta pointless and hes gonna sell there hate to, and maybe even kill them =)
"lets make sure the music is loud enough, we won't hear it end end end." referencing those stupid teenage girls who wont even listen to wtf manson has to say if the song isnt load enough, so he made THIS song sorta load so they can hear it and he can tell them FUCK YOU.
i think hes venting allot of anger he had built up cuz people hated him for doin eat me drink me cuz it was to soft. people need to just respect him as an artist before he kills all of us at the concert XD
I agree, my interpretation of the song was just the casual fans of manson who only listen to the singles, which are normally the worst. <br /> <br /> "lets make sure the music is loud enough,<br /> we won't hear it end end end."<br /> <br /> or just don't get him at all, and just qoute him in MSN names and stuff because it sounds cool <br /> <br /> "Give me a picket sign,<br /> and make it blank and white,<br /> Like all those stupid teenager girls <br /> <br />
This isn't just the teenage girls, it's for ANYONE who criticized his last album for being too soft or only listening to him for shock value.
I really disagree... <br /> "Give me a picket sign, <br /> and make it blank and white, <br /> (LIKE) all those stupid teenage girls, <br /> we are gonna need them where we're going tonight." <br /> <br /> I think he means groups of arrogant parents (or hicks) who hate him and rally up against him for their own pathetically intolerant veiws.<br /> <br /> "God is still dead but god is still white"<br /> Only backs up the hick theory even more.<br /> <br /> I doubt it's about any female teenagers. The young are always a bit more open minded, rather than their parents (who are used to enforcing rule) who often beleive they know what's best.<br /> <br />
Whoops, the verse before (yeah x16) IS:
Give me a picket sign, "God is still dead but god is still white" lets shoot up the mall the school, or whoever wants to fight.
Sorry about that guys.
The part where it gets beeped out when he say's "Let's shoot up the mall/The school/or whoever wants to fight". The line that's beeped out is "or the President of whatever" So the whole verse would be; "Let's shoot up the mall/The school/or the President of whatever/or whoever wants to fight". (Source: Wikipedia)
Just thought I'd share thought, I hope whenever they play this song live manson will say it uncensored. Fuck censorship!
One more thing, some of the lyrics here have typos like "It it's too dumb to see" should be "If it's too dumb to see" no big deal though, I'm not a grammar nazi.
I think I read somewhere that the line was supposed to be cencored. I think it was a quote from Marilyn Manson himself, but .. who knows.. there's so much stange stuff around the Internet, one can barely trust anything anymore
I ment to say this before but didn't think of it. I'm also aware my own user name has a typo in it to, but what are ya gonna do?
I think its about American life through its television and, as an example, American Idol. Listen to the track again with that in mind. I'll defend my position when I come off the bourbon.
Yeah typos fixed up.
I don't understand why the beep would be censored.
Maybe he did it on purpose so you have to look up for the uncensored version, I actually think it's rather interesting because of the big beep , then when I found out it was "the president of whatever" it's not as intriguing .
This CD is wonderful, I like all of the songs, they really come together but remain unique. Regarding my thoughts on this particular song, it might be about stupid people following trends (Manson included) and having no substance at all.
Mmmn, but i would say girls not just as females but males aswell.
I get the feeling hes calling them all girls for being so sooky-ritchy kids that dress up in these blank and white trendy outfits and have a sook some more about people who conform AND THEN have a cry at manson for not doing the same thing every album.
The censored part of the song where it says "(BEEP)*" actually contains the lyrics:
"Shoot up the mall, the school, or the president of whatever, or whoever wants to fight."
the guitar in the beginning sounds very much like the guitar in the beginning of "Oh stella" by Pj harvey but a bit slower. Nothing bad though I like both songs :)
