| Marilyn Manson – Overneath The Path Of Misery Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
I think scd2104 was close to what it meant. I believe that this song, like many other songs by Manson, was inspired by Evan(she's a girl), whom he met when she was nineteen, so he was much older than her, not unlike the relationship between Hades and Persephone. They started to date and he brought her into his life. "Jackhammer eyes never thought you'd see the asphalt Crack, crack, crack like a black eggshell" I believe that his life is the crack in the asphalt that she fell through, and when she fell she got trapped and absorbed into his life. In this metaphor, she is Persephone and he is Hades, and the rest of the world that believes he is a bad influence are the Olympic gods. |

| Where did you get your information on Persephone? Yes, Persephone was the daughter of Zeus, but the person to note is her mother, Demeter, Persephone's kidnapping was the cause for the season change. Yes, she was kidnapped by Hades, but no she did not become the goddess of hell, she was trapped and was tempted by the fruits of hell and ate one, which meant that Hades could keep her as his bride. All of this saddened Demeter which caused the winter, the Gods came to a deal that for half of the year Demeter would live with Hades and the other half, she would live on Olympus. | |

This song as a whole seems to be a comment on religions. "We don't need your faith we got fucking fate" That whole verse seems to be his take on the religious people that claim that they are destined to be great. And the fact that it keeps repeating makes me think that it's his key point in this song. "The center of the universe cannot exist when there are no, edges" This verse, to me, seems to be what Manson thinks that the people who believe god created believe the universe believe. |

| He is not a "pompous idiot", if you'd listened to his most recent comments on this album, you'd understand that the point of this album is to confuse and make people think. This song also appears to be a comment on religion and that people are being raised to think that their fated to do great and that the world doesn't need to have faith in them because their god destined them to be great. Marilyn Manson's whole goal in his career is to make people confused because "When people are confused, they think, and when people think, there's a chance that people will change things." | |

I believe that the whole verse You never wanted to share Your concept of your creation With any other gods or worshipers Your book isn’t burned It was never written Your book isn’t burned It was never written Is a reference to the Christian faith, with the aforementioned book being the bible, and the god, obviously the christian god. Now what context(positive or negative) it's used in is beyond me. |
