Song Stuck In My Head This Week - 12th December '09 - Marilyn Manson - Devour

This week I finally got to see Marilyn Manson live and it was a truly fabulous night. As well as getting to hear so many old favourites I also got to hear tracks from his new album 'The High End Of The Low'. It was one of the track from that new album that really got itself firmly lodged in my mind.

'Devour' is possibly the closest Marilyn Manson will get to a ballad and, while still carrying all the traits of traditional Marilyn Manson bleakness, it has a really romantic quality to it as well.

I have been of the opinion for quite some time that, because of the 'strange appearence' of Marilyn Manson, people are overlooking the fact that he writes some amazing songs and that he's an extremely intelligent and talented person. Maybe one day people will see beyond the make-up,

I hope you enjoy this weeks song!!

Marilyn Manson - Devour

I'll swallow up all of you
Like a big bottle of big, big pills
You're the one that I should never take
But I can't sleep until I devour you
I can't sleep until I devour you
You're a flower that's withering
I can't feel your thorns in my head

This is no impressionability
You're not crying, this is blood all over me
You're not crying, this is blood all over me
You're not crying, this is blood all over me
And I'll love you, if you let me
And I'll love you, if you won't make me starve

I used to hold your heart to neck
I know I'll miss you if I close my eyes
But this is loaded with an open film
I'll see you and I'll blow your heart to pieces
[ Marilyn Manson Lyrics are found on www.songlyrics.com ]
I will blow your heart to pieces
I will blow your heart to pieces
I will blow your heart to pieces
And I'll love you, if you let me
And I'll love you, if you won't make me starve
Oh oh oh oh... Oh oh oh oh... Oh oh oh oh... Oh oh oh oh...

My pain's not ashamed to repeat itself
Pain's not ashamed to repeat itself
Pain's not ashamed to repeat itself
Pain's not ashamed to repeat itself
I can't sleep until I devour you
I can't sleep until I devour you
I can't sleep until I devour you
I can't sleep until I devour you
I can't sleep until I devour you
And I'll love you, if you let me
And I'll love you, if you won't make me starve
