I Have to Look Up Just to See Hell Lyrics

Cover art for I Have to Look Up Just to See Hell lyrics by Marilyn Manson

Manson has stated in interviews that this song was partly inspired by Milton's "Paradise Lost," which is an epic 12-book poem about the fall of Lucifer. "Into the Fire" was also partly inspired by the poem. It is a recurring theme in the album, not being able to have something (in this case love), so you spend your time trying to destroy everyone else's.
