Lyrics: Marilyn Manson

Jan 16, 2006 06:35

In a departure from the norm around here:
I just got Marilyn Manson's Golden Age of Grotesque album and felt compelled to iconise the clever lyrics.

[41] icons from (or inspired by) Marilyn Manson lyrics

Those are brilliant lyrics. I'm not a huge fan of Manson's music, but the lyrics impress me muchly! The icons do too, actually.

Snagging, like, a million.

:D Yay, thanks. I find Manson's lyrics to be both superficial (as in 'You suck because you're fake and you hate me' seems to be a recurring theme) and highly clever (lots of wordplay and appalling ways of pointing things out) He's a very, very intelligent man, really.

Very nice selection of lyrics. But, if you don't mind, I would like to say something, using lyrics is a nice idea, but it would even better if you could find an image that can represent those lyrics in the background. Not any Manson photograph of any kind because that would lose creativity and originality, but a an image you found or discovered to represent that lyric.

Sorry, but one last thing: His lyrical genius goes beyond The Golden of Grotesque or rather before it.

His lyrical genius goes beyond The Golden of Grotesque or rather before it.

That's the only album I have--as of yet. I definitely plan on buying more.

I think one of the reasons I chose text-only on black background was because it evokes the liner notes, though I didn't stick with the same fonts or color scheme. Also, to me the lyrics stand out by themselves and allow people to associate them however they like without deciding for them how they should be applied--but to be sure, I can picture a few lyrics with images as well that would make them more ironic or forceful.

I SAY YOU GO OUT AND BUY MECHANICAL ANIMALS RIGHT THIS MINUTE! Or Antichrist Superstar. Whichever you prefer. :D

I love the wit that is the GAOG lyrics. Sarcasm unleashed. I also very much like words-only icons. Took lots of these!

thanks very much! Sarcasm reigns supreme.

I love these, I'm not sure which ones to pick. I'll definitely give credit when I decide on a few though.

lyricalley January 17 2006, 20:50:39 UTC

hey, no problem! thanks!
