Marilyn Manson - Great big white World Lyrics

[@carmencolumbusohio]

Marilyn Manson is a lyrical GENIUS. He brought heavy rock to the mainstream with catchy and clever lyrics combined with raw energy and total disregard for anyones opinion of him. It takes a lot of balls to do what he did. During the mid-late 90's he was going heads up with pop superstars like Britney, Nsync, Backstreet and Christina. Not trying to compare him to any pop stars but for him to shine bright at those times says a LOT about him. I have yet to hear a Marilyn Manson album that wasnt well done. He may not always have commercial success but a true talent like his should be better appreciated.

[@justification1979]

+carmencolumbusohio Eat me drink me was pretty zero out of ten to say the least. Glad he turned it around with The Pale Emperor though, that was a solid album.

[@gredangeo]

+justification1979 Yeah, 'Eat Me , Drink Me' wasn't all that great, but I thought 'You and me and the Devil makes 3' was a solid song.

[@NymphiaViolet]

+carmencolumbusohio Im very much in agreement when it comes to his musical consistency. I think he always came across as perhaps too affected by his influences in his heyday, but he has probably found his own voice more as he has become less popular which is funny. His first three albums were pretty big for me personally though.

[@fernnandobsb]

The song describes Manson as a spaceman, looking down on Earth, and seeing a revolting and depressing sight which is our destroyed world. Everyone is mechanical, self-destructive and hollow. And instead of doing something about it, they wait for God to do something about it. Instead of making the world a better place, they pray just like insects to God to make it better, and all the while the world is just dying. By saying 'I'm not attached to your world' Manson is also saying he feels alienated from everyone and everything aorund him, and that he doesn't want to take part in the murder of this planet any longer. Moving further along, by saying 'It's a great big white world, we are drained of our colors' he's calling the world fake, lifeless, ugly and empty. I like this song a lot, it's a song for everyone. If people could only try to understand it, they'd learn to start helping themselves before it's too late for all of existence.

[@callieschaeppi8831]

I never really listened to Mechanical Animals much until Recently on my Spotify Playlist and I heard this Song and it made me fall in love with him more. Why It took so long to Love this Album is beyond me. Marilyn will always be one of my first Loves as a pre Teen. I will always love n Adore this Man❤❤

[@bluewater82]

Mechanical Animals came out when I was finishing up high school and I wasn't the biggest fan. I was heavily into the Antichrist mode and metal; the glam rock direction threw me off and I never really recovered enough to like any of his newer material over the past couple of decades, but.... I'm coming back to this album after all these years, sitting here playing along on my guitar and I can't believe how much I love this particular album. It took over twenty years of listening to other music and other genres to realize just how fucking GREAT this album was. I put on a track, pull up the guitar tabs, and lose myself in the song. I'm sure part of it is some buried nostalgic feeling of my teenage years after so much time has passed but...this is really good. The production quality, music, lyrics, it's all there. Awesome, awesome album.

[@MrFrenchfries-jc7kl]

When The best song on the album is the best song on the album, not because it peaks early, but because it gets you excited for the rest of the album, because it gets you excited to hear it live, to imagine how this era might have evolved without columbine.

⌁ LYRICS ⌁ In space, the stars are no nearer Just glitters like a morgue And I dreamed I was a spaceman Burned like a moth in a flame And our world was so fucking gone I'm not attached to your world Nothing heals and nothing grows I'm not attached to your world Nothing heals and nothing grows Because it's a great big white world And we are drained of our colors We used to love ourselves We used to love one another All my stitches itch, my prescription's low I wish you were queen, just for today In a world so white, what else could I say? And hell was so cold All the vases are so broken And the roses tear our hands all open Mother Mary, miscarry But we pray just like insects And the world is so ugly now Because it's a great big white world And we are drained of our colors We used to love ourselves We used to love one another All my stitches itch, my prescription's low I wish you were queen, just for today All my stitches itch, my prescription's low I wish you were queen, just for today In a world so white, what else could I say? Because it's a great big white world And we are drained of our colors We used to love ourselves We used to love one another All my stitches itch, my prescription's low I wish you were queen, just for today All my stitches itch, my prescription's low I wish you were queen, just for today In a world so white, what else could I say?

[@tomduffy2580]

I only speak English, sadly, but I'd love to change that evebtually. I'm Mexican but I was adopted by my white parents who are amazing. English or not, it's not just you who thinks that. I still can't tell if he's saying, I wish you were queen, or I wish I was clean. That happens to me alot with any of his lyrics, and even other artists like Robert Plant in Zeppelin. It's totally ok to love his voice and the band's sound, and imagery without understanding the lyrics. I love when I finally understand them and it's something I relate to. Him and I have way too many strange similarities, and it used to freak me out but then I learned that him, David Bowie, and even Jesus Christ, are all born around the same time which explains alot.

[@gr3y_eminence]

@@angelashinner Ordered this CD in secret in late 2000, put it on with headphones. Especially with that scream in the live version before the final element, for things there are no words for. WE USED TO LOVE OURSELVES....WE USED TO LOVE ONE AND OTHER... Indeed what else could anyone say. Funny I bought into being too cool, that was the value of a decade from the onset of adulthood spent being trained to live in a film, "working class hero" or worse a perfectionist model prisoner with top grades living in nyc up against people who weren't as hungry. No friends, no love, nothing but an empty shell. Leaving and returning until I remembered Manson's records, the voice of a generation. WE ARE CHAOS said to me we need artists because we are all artists. Thinking, calling out hypocrites, born again life style-ism or any -ism that makes us hate and give up our shot to do something good. Talk, write, create and use knowledge to pass forward whatever we are good at. Forget the other people who I thought were my betters. Forget people who have it all. I just want one thing to matter for me. Every one of us had art, expression, imagination if for a few movements in childhood and that lost adulthood when 70s, 80s kids...we started bands, painted, sung, until the tv, the first peer groups all based on abusing others. Something has gone very wrong. We "love the abuse because it makes us feel like we are needed." True, I thank all my crazy but smart old bronx uncles and a dad (six boys) born in the depression, late 30s. The other people I share haha blood with never got level of what happened to our stateless grand parents, my grandmum grew up in camps in the War, the 30s and 40s, the Soviets assaulted all the women horrifically with orders. They lost and regained it all but if nothing being black sheep instead of like them, mostly medical doctors for status, in another country. I was given mentoring to do that as I love the sciences, the mind and the brain, human development and history. But I didn't focus on all my areas, just what I hoped they'd respect in one of my families, but strangers good I don't need all these no emotion DC people, knew a potential in law, that was enough. I just couldn't serve this class of billionaire sons, they day traded for gambling. I learned how to do anything that was a gig before this crap ended that city. It was people like Manson who planted the damn seed. Now it's like a split here, there's just people that care about shit and people who for whatever reason don't and no one can hide it any longer. Two rough groups, rather have sincere people. But two ways of life won't play nice. So I work all day and night, esp. planning what to do with a formal biochem neuroscience focus, that I switched for international law (neither of these employ you) being way into history, I have Latin as my 2nd language so I can read most romantic languages. I finished regular school earlier taught one on one by my own father in forensic psych and all classical subjects, didn't care for tv or games, and I couldn't be in school. Let's say I know a person who was treated like Manson but it was big and everyone knew it, two faced comments, and since people mostly had read my dad's book in public school; his time in religious orphan halls in the 50s, he drove a taxi and someone helped him get that one book out then it was the lecture circuit in juvenile prisons, etc. But the former issue was national news and the start of the "Accuser" mob tactic. So yeah, I didn't go back in public without it coming up until I got into the city. Now life is good, I write letters to year old comments before all hell breaks loose. Who knows. "I never really hated the one true God, it's the God of the people I hated."

Very awesome song. If you don't know what it is about, it describes Manson as a spaceman, looking down at Earth, and witnessing a depressingly revolting sight, which is our planet dying. Instead of doing something about it, he waits for God to do something about the now destroyed world. Everything and everyone are completely hollow, emotionless, mechanical & self-destructive, and instead of making the world a better place, they pray like insects for God to make it better. "I'm not attached to your world. Nothing heals, nothing grows." Manson feeling alienated from the things & people around him, and he doesn't want to take part in the murder of this planet anymore. "All my stitches itch. My prescription's low." Manson's stitches are itching, and the stitches are what he has for having emotion, while everybody else in a black and white coloured society, and everything on Earth completely fake, empty, lifeless & ugly. I tried giving my best synopsis into what the song means. Love from the U.K. Mr. Manson 💖

Manson was going to name the album "Great Big White World" but he was afraid some people would think he is racist-which he isn't. The song name "Coma White" is very closely related to the big white world. coma white is drugs, white being the colour of drugs, and coma being in the state where you're hardly human. Therefore, the big white world just means we aren't 'human'.

White is also a color that symbolizes purity. There are pressures in parts of society in which we must be completely 'white' all the time, but anyone who is honest with themselves will tell you that we are many shades of gray, that very few of us are actually pure. At least that's how I personally interpret the song. It's just my opinion.
