What would Marilyn Manson be if no one hated Marilyn Manson?
I was always trying to do different things to entertain people. And, at the same time I think I was, whether subconsciously or not, trying to get kicked out of school because I hated it so much.
People hate to describe their music. What we have come to call it is "beat up your mom" music. As far as describing what it sounds like, I guess you'd have to listen.
I hate normal studios, because you have to say "hi" to the person at the front desk. And then you go into the studio, and there's a second engineer in there that you don't know, and then you're stuck in a glass box with someone talking to you through a walkie-talkie.
I hate, therefore I am.
I'm everything they are afraid of. Everything they hate. Everything they try to hide and a lot more. Besides, I speak my mind and show people what's out there in reality.
One hates what one fears.
I fear being like everyone I hate, I fear failure, I fear losing control. I love balancing between chaos and control with everything I do. I always have a fear of going one way or another, getting lost in something, or losing everything to get lost in. And I fear being a completely acceptable sheep in society.
Not only are love and hate such closely related emotions, but it's a lot easier to hate someone you've cared about than someone you never have.
I am the ism, my hate's a prism.
All the seven deadly sins are man's true nature. To be greedy. To be hateful. To have lust. Of course, you have to control them, but if you're made to feel guilty for being human, then you're going to be trapped in a never-ending sin-and-repent cycle that you can't escape from.
Sometimes hate is not enough to turn this all to ashes, together as one and against all others, break all of their wings to make sure it crashes.
I wasn't born with enough middle fingers
If you lose emotion, and you gain it back, you realise that hate and love are very important to distribute properly. So I'm not going to waste any kind of emotion on things that aren't related to me.
