| Marilyn Manson – 15 Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
Majority of you are all incredibly wrong lol.. it is late so i will keep this short the whole concept of the album is about evan, why would this song be about dita? lol.. manson has stated this in interviews and spoken directly about this song. it can be interpreted as if you choose, but literally has NO relation with religion/god what so ever. '15', as mentioned.. is from his birthday 1/5. Hence 'but today is my birthday'. As the break up happened late last year and this album started being recorded at the beginning of this year... it probably was in fact written on his birthday lol, but im only guessing. The basis of '15' being a reoccuring theme throughout MA was because of the criticism and attention Manson received from a guy recieting The reflecting god lyrics in his suicide note (track 15 on AS - the album before MA) He has said the album is about overcoming the pain and anguish of the break up, finding happiness after falling from grace. He credits this song to saving his life as it is the time he stopped looking back and moved forward. 'yestrday everything i thought i believed in died... BUT today is my birthday' - moving on and finding something to be happy over. he has also said each song is played in the order thy were written closing lines of track 1. 'and ill love you if you wont make me stop' closing lines of this track. 'not letting you win wont satisfy me. ill teach you about loss' long story short, he credits this song as the most important because he stopped trying to change the past and started looking forward. For anyone that actually cares or intends to understand Mansons work instead of trying to break down each and every one of his lines to make wrong conclusions. http://www.nachtkabarett.com Whilst SOME of his work in the last 2 albums are a bit of an exception as they are based on his emotional dealings over females/relationships... Barely ANY of his work is intended to be brokn down and interpreted literally word for word. He thrives off the media and stupid people who do as his whole career has been based on negative media attention.... all the people who think an album like MA is about drug use.... haha |

| Marilyn Manson – Wight Spider Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
steelearth and jaded... little right but very wrong. Firstly, 'wight' comes from the old english word - 'wicht', which means a supernatural entity (pointed out earlier as a ghost in this case... no the people dancing behind cloths in arma-goddamn etc etc video is no coincidence)... but yeah.. ghost/shadowy remnant/poor reflection of former self. Basically reflected in the end of the song 'we can't haunt this home home anymore no no no no no' Secondly, 'Wicht' translates in low german to 'girl'. Which is the other dimension of the song and throughout the whole album - the entrapment of relationships, the ability of women to lure and thn consume their partner... hence 'spider' and majority of the lyrics. if you think im wrong, check Mansons artwork, as he has a painting of a spider with a females head. 'smother the past in a cocoon for me'. 'wrap my claws round your mouth tight. we'll consume eachother..etc' Basically, whilst it is about love/obsession and what not. In lamens terms, he is saying it is fake and the girl is just going to f*ck you over. Hence the first few lines 'ill build you a shiny dollhouse or church'... already said in the 2nd comment. Other thing to note about the album is the concept of dichotomy. (the HIGH end of LOW, blue/good with the evil/red halo on the cover, lyrically in almost every song). 'ill keep you wet when the world is dry' 'possess you but i dont need you to be another one of my posessions'. He has said in intrviews the album is about finding his place/happiness after falling from grace/breakup - consistent with his lucifer comparisons in AS. He has also said all songs are in order of which they were written and express his emotional rollercoaster as a 'diary'. Compare the last lines of devour 'and ill love you if you wont make me stop' to the last lines of the album 'not letting you win wont satisfy me, ill teach you about loss' |
