History TearJerker / MarilynManson

--> A pill to make you numb
--> A pill to make you dumb
--> A pill to make you anybody else
--> All the drugs in this world
--> Won't save her from herself

--> This was never my world
--> You took the angel away
--> I’d kill myself to make everybody pay\\
*** The last line in particular is even sadder, given that [[spoiler: the album ends with Adam, the main character, committing suicide (See "Count To Six And Die" later on the page)]].
* “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.

* "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... [[spoiler: a revolver with five empty chambers.]]

* "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 [[spoiler: stoned to death. The final image is of Manson exposing his torso for them.]]

* "Coma White" ("A pill to make you numb\ A pill to make you dumb\ A pill to make you anybody else\ All the drugs in this world\ Won't save her from herself."). Or 'Putting Holes In Happiness'. YMMV at the latter.

* Most of Marilyn Manson's life. He's been molested, assaulted by the cops, MisBlamed for so many things, had his heart broken repeatedly, has a fandom that has a segment turn on him almost every album (to the point that he had to Cease and Desist the biggest fanforum because it turned into 100% death threats), and more.

That's right. Even 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.

* "Coma White."
