Line #27 TearJerker/MarilynManson


1	That's right. Even [[Music/MarilynManson this scary shock rock band]] that had MoralGuardians up in arms during TheNineties can do {{tearjerker}}s. In fact, about one-fourth of them can qualify.
2	----
3
4	* "The Speed Of Pain".
5	* "Coma White"
6	-->''A pill to make you numb\
7	A pill to make you dumb\
8	A pill to make you anybody else\
9	All the drugs in this world\
10	Won't save her from herself''
11	** The prequel to the song on ''Holy Wood'', "Coma Black," is just as sad, if not sadder than "Coma White." While "Coma White" is delivered in a PowerBallad fashion, this song just sounds bleak and hopeless, particularly the chorus:
12	--->''This was never my world\
13	You took the angel away\
14	I'd kill myself to make everybody pay''
15	*** The last line in particular is even sadder, given that the album ends with Adam, the main character, committing suicide (See "Count To Six And Die" later on the page).
16	* "Mechanical Animals" has a hopeless feeling to it; the singer calls himself a "hand grenade that never stopped exploding" and the girl automatic and hollow. It's mostly YMMV, but it seems to be about a relationship between a man who's angry and passionate and a woman who is empty and emotionless and mechanical. The lyrics go, "I'm never gonna be the one for you. I'm never gonna save the world for you." It feels almost like an abusive, loveless relationship that both are stuck in and neither will benefit from.
17	* "Last Day on Earth"
18	-->"I know it's the Last Day on Earth\
19	We'll be together while the planet dies\
20	I know it's the last day on Earth\
21	We'll never say goodbye."
22	* "Count to Six and Die" is even more of a tearjerker when you realize the "counting to six" and the five clicking sounds at the end really mean... a revolver with five empty chambers.
23	-->"She's got her eyes open wide\
24	she's got the dirt and spit of the world\
25	her mouth on the metal\
26	the lips of a scared little girl...\
27	"She's got her Christian prescriptures\
28	and death has crawled in her ear\
29	like elevator music of songs\
30	that she shouldn't hear...\
31	"and it spins around 1...2...3\
32	and we all lay down 4...5...6\
33	some do it fast\
34	some do it better in smaller amounts..."
35	* "Man That You Fear" was written after Manson went to a family wedding and nobody wanted to speak to him. The music video is even worse, where Manson is a villager chosen at random, is taken out to the middle of a field by the other villagers, and stoned to death. The final image is of Manson exposing his torso for them.
36	* "In the Shadow of the Valley of Death" (the song, not the album) is extremely bleak and tear-inducing.
37	* The video for "No Reflection." Manson plays a father who is forced to kill his family after they're possessed by demons.
38	* "Running To The Edge Of The World"
39	* "Minute Of Decay." The song has a very dead and hopeless feeling to it and can bring some to tears.
40	* "Devour". It's basically about TheCorrupter... who [[TheWoobie can't stop himself]], [[TheFarmerAndTheViper no matter how hard he tries]], [[BreakHisHeartToSaveHim and is desperately trying to warn his lover away]].
41	-->''"You're the one that I can never take\
42	But I can't sleep until I [[TitleDrop devour]] you..."''
