Marilyn claims that he is a black rainbow (which I regard to be something of an achievement, seeing as rainbows are illusions caused by rain or something like that, and are actually lots of colours – which basically means that Marilyn Manson is either god, or has a really bizarre and amazingly specific superpower along the lines of Matt Parkman or Hiro in the popular series Heroes. I wonder if Mr. Manson is a fan of that most excellent series? He really should be. It would fill the void on those long, stressful tour bus rides. It’s really really cleverly done and surprisingly plausible given the supernatural, er, nature of the content), which is a bit of a startling statement to make and an ominous opening to this folk parody.
Mr. (or is it Ms?) Manson claims then that he is an ape of god. Now, I’m not overly sure what this might imply, but if we go by it’s literal translation (and we should), it implies that Manson is both religious and attentive in biology! He knows he is one of gods creatures, and he knows that human beings are descended from apes. Clearly Manson had a big and bright future even from an early age. Manson however then engages in some self-deprecation by saying that he has a face that other people want to punch (along the lines of Cristiano Ronaldo then, although one feels a spade might be more appropriate there). Also, whilst not a rebel in his upper body attire (wherein he wears a smart shirt and tie), from the waist down it’s old-looking jeans with holes in all the way.
I wanna thank you mom I wanna thank you dad For bringing this fucking world To a bitter end I never really hated a one true god But the God of the people I hated
Marilyn would like to thank his (or her?) parents! Ace! It’s good to see someone with roots firmly lodged in their family, and who is thoroughly appreciative of all the oppurtunities that mother and father provide. Without a solid foundation at home then everything else (or “life”) normally crumbles away, although when there are exceptions they are truly remarkable. But do you think big issue sellers came from a comfortable family? Sadly, in most cases this isn’t true at all, and one feels that with more support at an early age they wouldn’t be in such a nasty mess (I once had a go at some kids for yelling “get yourself a big tissue mate!” at a big issue seller. It was the day I became a man. I even got a casual thanks from the salesman, although alas I did not get a free issue for my troubles. True story.). Marilyn then also states that he hates god; which, with his god given ability to transform himself into a rainbow, is hardly surprising – I’m sure he would far rather have had the ability of telekinesis or the ability to transform himself than the ability to turn himself into a scary rainbow. I’m sure in the grander scheme of things a black rainbow has a purpose, but I have to say I can’t see it.
You said you wanted evolution The ape was a great big hit You say you want a revolution, man And I say that you’re full of shit
The subject apparently wanted evolution (so, in the context of heroes, he could be talking about Dr. Mohinder Suresh, who is well up for evolution. Like, he really likes Darwin. In the same way I like Gordon Ramsey), and Marilyn believes that yeah – the ape was a pretty good day for evolution. But apparently the notion of revolution is naught more than a pile of faecal matter for Manson – and quite rightly too sir, the establishment is there for a reason. It’s good to see this “Down with the man!” sentiment hasn’t spread to everyone, and if there were more fine young men like Marilyn Manson in the world, well, we’d all be that bit more responsible for our own actions. Which would only be a good thing.
We’re disposable teens
We’re disposable teens
We’re disposable teens
We’re disposable
Marilyn Manson believes that everyone is disposable, and that they are all teenagers. I am unsure what he means by this; maybe he believed that everyone is a disgruntled young Saturday supermarket worker who ultimately possesses no more skills, expertise or experience than the next man and is as such utterly disposable to the business. Which of course is just a silly notion.
The more that you fear us The bigger we get The more that you fear us The bigger we get And dont be surprised, dont be surprised Dont be surprised when we destroy all of it
Marilyn Manson that the more humanity fears itself, the larger humanity gets. And this in a way is an undeniable statement; only now are we fully appreciating the global pictures of the atrocities of humanity, yet all humanity does is feed off this fear and expand – to quote that chap out of the Matrix, quite like a virus. Now, I’m not implying that I endorse that belief – I wouldn’t really like it if someone went to me “Oi, Barnett – you’re a disease! Hahaha!”, but at the same time I believe in keeping an open mind and it is clear that both men have interesting viewpoints.
Manson ends with the overtly bleak idea that humanity will (and is already) bring upon itself some form of apocalypse which will destroy everything. This shouldn’t surprise us (and thanks to Madonna, oh, and Al Gore, it most definitely won’t), and it’s nice of Manson to show his (or her?) climate change concerns and deal us with this very rational warning. I still don’t see what turning into a black rainbow will help with here though.
