Aint
Marilyn Manson Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't care if your world is ending today
I wasn't invited to it anyway
You said I tasted famous, so I drew you a heart
But now I'm not an artist I'm a fucking work of art
I've got an F and a C and I got a K too
And the only thing missing is a bitch like you

You wanted perfect
You got your perfect
But now I'm too perfect for someone like you
I was a dandy in your ghetto with
A snow white smile and you'll
Never be as perfect whatever you do
What's my name, what's my name?
Hold the S because I am an ain't
What's my name, what's my name?
Hold the S because I am an ain't

I am a bone top, a death's head
On a mop stick
You infected me, took diamonds
I took all your shit
Your "sell-by date" expired,
So you had to be sold
I'm a suffer-genius and
Vivi-sex symbol.

You wanted perfect
You got your perfect
But now I'm too perfect for someone like you
I was a dandy in your ghetto with
A snow white smile and you'll
Never be as perfect whatever you do
What's my name, what's my name?
Hold the S because I am an ain't
What's my name, what's my name?
Hold the S because I am an ain't

I've got an F and a C and I got a K too
And the only thing missing is a bitch like you
I've got an F and a C and I got a K too
And the only thing missing is a bitch like you
I am a dandy in the ghetto with a snow white smile
Super-ego bitch, I've been evil awhile
I am a dandy in the ghetto with a snow white smile
Super-ego bitch, I've been evil awhile
What's my name, what's my name?
Hold the S because I am an ain't




What's my name, what's my name?
Hold the S because I am an ain't

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Marilyn Manson's "AINT" reflect a certain sense of defiance and rebellion against conformity and societal expectations. The persona portrayed in the song seems to distance themselves from the prevailing narratives of being "perfect" or "popular", which are often used as a means of bringing people down and making them feel inferior. The singer proclaims that they are too "perfect" for someone like the addressee, and that their unique identity and character have made them into a work of art.


The lyrics also depict some form of power struggle or manipulation between the two characters. The persona claims to have been infected and taken advantage of by the addressee, who is now past their "sell-by date". In response, the persona has taken all of their possessions and asserts their dominance by calling them a "bitch". The chorus reiterates the persona's name, holding the "S" because they are an "ain't" - a clever wordplay on the negative contraction "ain't" and the word "saint", which is often used as a symbol of perfection and purity.


Overall, the song captures the spirit of rebellion and individuality that Marilyn Manson is known for. It celebrates the rejection of conformity and the embrace of personal freedom and identity, even if it means being an outcast or "ain't".
