i want your pain to taste why you're ashamed.
tonight..
tonight i re-pierced my lip.
i was anticipating pain and perhaps blood.
no such thing.. i haven't worn a lip ring in years, but it didn't even matter.. i mean.. i still had to shove a safety pin through, but it didn't even hurt.
in fact, putting my nose ring in which has only been out for a few days was more painful!
i should never pierce my own body parts if they are higher than an earring size.
i just want a little gem in my lip.
so i realize this is my third entry in a row listening to eat me drink me.
it is really good.. i like it more and more and more and more.
just tonight the song "evidence" really clicked with me.. i've heard it a few times before, but this song is just.. really standing out now. phenomenal.
manson has said "eat me drink me" is his most personal album yet.. based largely on what was going on what was going on in his life.
this is on that and one of my favorite songs ever by him. (which is saying something).
i took the time to write this out from an interview.
"this record was written completely different than everything else.
this record was written in a way that i probably should have discovered a long time ago.
but it's the most basic simple way.
all this stuff was happening in my life
and my guitar player tim said to me why don't you write a song about it?
so this is definitely very emotionally open.. the things that is ay and the way that i say is how i am as a human.
about me coming out of a car crash than about a car crash itself.
this record has more story to it than any record i've made
unfortunately the story is very real and its very close to me because it's me.
you know i spent my whole career making music about me but i externalized it and put it into characters and putting it into metaphor and concepts and all of that worked in this context but this record could only work in this way and it could only work with this music and it could only work in this circumstance in this period in history this would be the record that if i had to remembered for one record it would be this one."
i really think manson is as great to listen to in interviews as he is his music.
he interviews so well an so intelligently.
anyways.. unfortunately you probably need to be familiar with him and his story to fully understand his lyrics.
