No Reflection Lyrics

Cover art for No Reflection lyrics by Marilyn Manson

The title of the song gives away what the song is about.

The album comes off the The High End of Low where he once confused love with dependence and confused desire with weakness, but after The High End of Low he didn't confuse those things together anymore. And that's where Born Villain picks up.

He no longer reflects on the past, and has "no reason" to do so again.

Also, its definitely "I'm weak seven days a week."

Song Meaning

It might be, I actually didn't know that. Maybe the Marilyn without makeup in the video is representing the odl Masnon; if you watch carefully you can see that one of this girls is prectically making him kill the other girls, and after that she driks that wine herself. The 'heavy' Marilyn tries to save her but as he cannot he drowns her on a, i dunno, toilet? It's actually very difficult for me to understand it correctly as I didn't follow Marilyn's The High End Of Low era, and I neither read the Born Villain book.

I can't stop...

I'm not sure there are two Mansons represented in the video, but to add to my explanation:

The reason the song ends with being about not reflecting on the past is because its about him looking to change, because he became confused as to who he wanted to be. He said that when he was making this album, he decided he didn't like who he was; because he was straying from who he's always wanted to be because of the circumstances in his life including the Columbine thing and his exs. He also says that while it happens to everyone,...

He is the devil, "No reflection." LOL You know the devil doesn't have a reflection.
