Marilyn Manson - Mechanical Animals Lyrics






We were neurophobic and perfect
The day that we lost our souls
Maybe we weren't so human
But if we cry we will rust
And I was a hand grenade
That never stopped exploding
You were automatic and as hollow as the "o" in god

[Chorus:]
I am never gonna be the one for you
I am never gonna save the world from you
But they'll never be good to you
Or bad to you
They'll never be anything
Anything at all

You were my mechanical bride
You were phenobarbidoll
A manniqueen of depression
With the face of a dead star
And I was a hand grenade
That never stopped exploding
You were automatic and as hollow as the "o" in god

I am never gonna be the one for you

[Chorus repeat ...]

This isn't me I'm not mechanical
I'm just a boy playing the suicide king

    And by the way, I got to masterbate about David from Rosanne. But it was actually his show the Big Bang Theory These homeless converse are so mine. Billie Joe who? Crap, James Trent what are you trying to say. That’s what I’m saying but with out Trent all I wanted was white lil underage boys from Ireland. I can’t believe all of Romaina’s death doors actually did it even got me self a lil Butch. I swear to God I’m just for the go a dream along. I dunno man don’t judge. And Manson wants is my last make~out scam to the whole world which is never quite often. *whinning and Reznor was suppose to be my awesomely gergeous head. All under David.. what??? Ha ha and still didn’t know the boots to prove it. Shhh lucky I still got my Jonathan’s abortion. Silver ball piercings. Right through forever the second hole.And how was TrentJames an abortion???

  39. M.... K....

    They’ll never be anything
    Anything at all

  40. K.... F....

    Everyone focused on the dope show, but there are so many better and more, I don't know, emotionally in depth songs including this one. It has an aura about it. Loved Holywood then I guess I just grew out of him, everything after that just didn't do anything for me. Still respect him

    K.... F....

    Kris Frederick yeah after we forget the best of his music started going down in quality but more in quantity but his pale emperor and heaven upside down album were great and his new single cover of gods gonna cut you down is 🔥 👌

  41. T.... S....

    Wake and bake❤🔥

  42. F.... M....

    What a fantastic album and such a great artist, it's stainless steel art

  48. S.... J....

    CRANK IT!

  49. T.... Q....

    This would be so good in some edgy-Killing people-murder-Hollywood movie which I don’t necessarily like but this song fits in the category

  50. f.... f....

    My favourite song of MM. I listened this so many times that my left eye was turn white and my right eye is coming red

  51. n.... r....

    Fuck this album is his no. 1
    Sure he has other great ones, but this is all killer, no filler and holds up just as good as it did when I first heard it in 99. 21 years old and sounds like it came out last week. Fuck yes. Epitome of a classic album.

  52. G.... ....

    waaaaayyyyyy in my top 5 albums, all bands together and started leaning guitar and bass thanks to MM. love it !

  53. H.... C....

    I could listen to this over and over. My persona in the 90's. It costs me my place in high school. Bc they said they didn't want me there. All bc I wore all black and a walking billboard for Columbine! I was never about violence! I was about freedom of expression! They threw me away! Now look. High functioning adult anyway!! Imagine that?

    H.... C....

    fuck yeah, that's how it's done!

    H.... C....

    Same here

    H.... C....

    Fuck high school kids(most of them). The few kids I actually liked in highschool, I still talk to. The rest were posers and losers.

    H.... C....

    You are AWESOME!

    H.... C....

    OH, I am at least 4 times you current age ..... little bro.

  54. T.... H....

    Im a church going christian and all I can say is i like this guy and his music.Love to have play at my church.Dude rocks hard , just like I do on sunday in church

    T.... H....

    @Ted Hibbard please help me Ted I can't get this demon to leave my body. It's making me do things like stabbing my own genitals with a pair of scissors. How do I get rid of it ted?

    T.... H....

    @Ted Hibbard yay I found the crazy people.

    T.... H....

    @Ted Hibbard ted this is satan himself. I have officially taken over the body of the youtube user known as sloth. I would like to request a battle with you in the 4th heaven. This will be the ultimate showdown of good vs evil and winner takes all. Do you have what it takes ted?

    T.... H....

    @Scott Tenorman's pubes There is no 4 heaven.And dont yell at the stars its way to dangerous for you.

    T.... H....

    @J C nobody really cares what you think tbh, you just sound like a asshole.

  55. m.... m....

    I remember when this came out year before I graduated high school class of 99 I was on LSD hanging out with friends and my ex-girlfriend it was awesome hearing the first time on LSD fun times the 90s were

  56. T.... ....

    I like this more than actual 70s glam. He did something special with this album!

    T.... ....

    TheRubberStudiosASMR he took inspiration and fucking bettered it

    T.... ....

    Can y'all elaborate on the story behind that (his inspiration)?

    T.... ....

    And people didn't get it back then and they still don't today.

    T.... ....

    X Yz His look was directly inspired by David Bowie during the 70’s. Mechanical animals is also very similar in concept to ziggy stardust and the spiders from Mars as both are based around “aliens” who come to the earth looking for a good time only to succumb to their vices. Musically this album had a lot more of a progressive 70’s rock feel than Manson’s earlier thrash/groove metal vibe.

  57. D.... M....

    I like this album, But his first albums were better.

  58. C.... A....

    Suicide is boring now

    C.... A....

    I won’t do it because it don’t look fun

    C.... A....

    Nice song though

    C.... A....

    Or third-party contractor with the medical examiner's office Orange County and Los Angeles I've seen probably thousands of suicides in doing this almost 10 years just when you think you saw it all LOL always some weird-ass suicide case
