Blood Shit and Cum
Marilyn Manson Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

"Take my money," Is all I think.
He looks at the earring.
"Fag," he mumbles.
I don′t mind.
He's fat.
No one likes him.
Life′s too short.
I pass a table of black girls
With short hair.
They look like men.
They all look the same.
I can hear the strobe now,
It's loud.
And the music's too bright.
I look for my friends,
But I can′t remember if I came alone
Or not.
Doesn′t matter though.
There's hundreds of people
Who have waited all their lives,
No doubt,
To be my friend.
And as I near the bar
I see two persons
Eating each other′s faces.
I bark to the bartender.
He gives me a placebo.
I'm "so young," he tells me,
"To be here."
I nod and swallow the bland drink.
Then I stumble several times
Near a crowd,
And they think I′m a good dancer.
I hear a girl tell another girl
That some girl she knows
Watched a girl
Puke in the toilet.
I smile in their general direction.
The good-looking one comes over
And bites my cheek.
It hurts,
And I start to
Hit her.
But she's grinning,
And I can see my blood on her teeth.
And I pull her to me.
"My place or yours?"
"The gutter will be fine,"
She confesses.
As we walk out,
She takes another bite from my cheek,




And I smile at the fat man
By the door.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Blood Shit and Cum" by Marilyn Manson describe a night out at a club where the singer is disconnected from reality and doesn't care about his surroundings. He doesn't care about the people he encounters, whether they're black or fat, or the fact that the music is too loud and bright. Instead, he is focused on finding his friends, or at least remembering if he came alone, and being accepted by the hundreds of people who have waited all their lives to be his friend. The singer consumes alcohol and drugs before stumbling upon a girl who bites him, causing him to bleed. Despite the pain, he is turned on and asks her if she wants to go back to his place or hers. She agrees, and as they walk out, he smiles at the fat man by the door.
