I Have to Look Up Just to See Hell
Unveiling the Abyss: Marilyn Manson's Ode to Damaged Love and Human Decay
Lyrics
The fruit is speechless
The metaphorical "fruit" is without words or expression.
Before our sorceries
Preceding our magical practices or dark arts.
The party has just begun
A celebration or event has recently started.
Time lapse and dancing and rotting in place,
Time is passing, people are dancing, but there's stagnation and decay.
And we have reached the high end of low
We've reached the lowest point, the culmination of something negative.
The high end of low
-The high end of low
-You can take me,
Acceptance of mortality - the speaker is ready for death.
The grave can take me
-The earth is waiting to eat us alive
-I love you damaged,
Expressing affection for someone emotionally damaged or broken.
I need human wreckage
-I have to look up
The speaker must look up to witness or confront Hell.
Just to see Hell
-Fallen, fallen, fallen from grace
Repeated fall from grace, a warning for someone to escape a similar fate.
Now for you
-This is why you should run
-Fallen, fallen, fallen from grace
-Now for you
-This is why you should run
-The core of a woman
Describing the essence of a woman as something decaying, corrupted.
Is where her body
-Chooses to revolve like a corpse
-Centrifugal, melted under the skin,
-Bacteria
-Into the napalm heart I explode,
-I explode
An explosive, destructive transformation.
I explode
-You can take me,
Reiteration of mortality and the need for damaged individuals.
The grave can take me
-The earth is waiting to eat us alive
-I love you damaged,
-I need human wreckage
-I have to look up
-Just to see Hell
-Fallen, fallen, fallen from grace
Repetition of falling from grace, emphasizing the urgency to escape.
Now for you
-This is why you should run
-Fallen, fallen, fallen from grace
-Now for you
-This is why you should run
-The light shines in the darkness
Quoting a biblical theme about light shining in darkness and not being understood.
And the darkness will never understand it
-The light shines in the darkness
-And the darkness will never understand it
-The light shines in the darkness
-And the darkness will never understand it
-The light shines in the darkness
-And the darkness will never understand it
-You can take me,
Continued acceptance of mortality and the attraction to damaged individuals.
The grave can take me
-The earth is waiting to eat us alive
-I love you damaged,
-I need human wreckage
-I have to look up
-Just to see Hell
-You can take me,
Reiteration of the acceptance of mortality and the attraction to damaged individuals.
The grave can take me
-The earth is waiting to eat us alive
-I love you damaged,
-I need human wreckage
-I have to look up
-Just to see Hell
