In the past, band members dressed in outlandish makeup and costumes, and engaged in intentionally shocking behavior both onstage and off. Their lyrics often received criticism for their anti-religious sentiment and references to sex, violence and drugs, while their live performances were frequently called offensive and obscene. On several occasions, protests and petitions led to the group being blocked from performing, with at least three US states passing legislation banning the group from performing at state-owned venues. They released a number of platinum-selling albums, including Antichrist Superstar (1996) and Mechanical Animals (1998). These albums, along with their highly stylized music videos and worldwide touring, brought public recognition to Marilyn Manson. In 1999, news media, infamously, falsely blamed the band for influencing the perpetrators of the Columbine High School massacre.
As this controversy began to wane throughout the 2000s, so did the band's mainstream popularity. Despite this, Jon Wiederhorn of MTV, in June 2003, referred to Marilyn Manson as "the only true artist today". Marilyn Manson is widely regarded as being one of the most iconic and controversial figures in rock music, with the band and its lead singer influencing numerous other groups and musicians, both in metal-associated acts and also in wider popular culture. VH1 ranked Marilyn Manson as the seventy-eighth best rock band on their 100 Great Artists of Hard Rock. They were inducted into the Kerrang! Hall of Fame in 2000, and have been nominated for four Grammy Awards. In the U.S., the band has seen ten of its releases debut in the top ten, including two number-one albums. Marilyn Manson have sold in excess of 50 million records worldwide.

Marilyn Manson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I fuck you for your money
I fuck you to control you
I fuck you so somebody I can have half of everything
I fuck you to fuck you over
I fuck you until I
I fuck you for a secret
I fuck you because I can't remember
Whore
I fuck you out of boredom
I fuck you because I can't feel it anyway
I fuck you to make the pain go away
Fuck you because I love you
Fuck you for loving you
I don't need a reason to hate you the way I do
Fuck you because I love you
Fuck you for loving you
I don't need a reason to hate you the way I do
Hate you the way I do
I fuck you so I can fucking feel
Something
Instead of nothing at all
I fuck you because you are beautiful
I fuck you because you're my nigger
I fuck you because I'm your whore
I fuck you because you are a whore
I fuck you for fun
I fuck you for fun
I fuck you because I can
I fuck you so I have a place to stay
I fuck you so you will protect me
Fuck you because I love you
Fuck you for longing you too
I don't need a reason to hate you the way I do
Fuck you because I love you
Fuck you for loving you too
I don't need a reason to hate you the way I do
Hate you the way I do
I don't need a reason to hate you the way I do
Hate you the way I do
Hate you the way I do
Hate you the way I do
(Hate you the way I do)
Hate you the way I do
The lyrics of Marilyn Manson's song Para-noir explore the twisted and unhealthy dynamics of sexual relationships. The tone of the song is aggressive and provocative, using a variety of offensive language and provocative imagery to shock and provoke the listener. Manson's lyrics suggest that sex is just one more tool in a power game that people play with each other, a way to manipulate, control, and hurt others. The repeated phrase "I fuck you because" serves as a mantra for the twisted and distorted sexual motivations that the song explores.
Many of the lines in the song are deliberately offensive and confrontational, using racial slurs and misogynistic language to further challenge the listener. Manson's lyrics suggest that sex can be a way of exerting power and control over others, often at the cost of one's own dignity and morality. The repeated phrase "Fuck you because I love you" underscores the twisted nature of the relationships Manson is exploring, suggesting that even love can be corrupted and twisted by the dark impulses that drive these sexual encounters.
Overall, Para-noir can be seen as a brutally honest exploration of the dark side of human sexuality, a bleak and uncompromising look at the ways in which we use and abuse each other in pursuit of our own pleasures.
