They usually produce or co-produce their own recordings, with heavily effected guitars and multiple vocal parts, occasionally incorporating elements of electro. Noteworthy collaborations with The Mansons have included Andrew Beck, Kramer, and Simon Day. Their first release Blood, Love and Rhetoric was recorded in 2007 at Damien Gerard Studios (available in shops in 2008). Their debut album is slated for release in 2010 and features guest vocals from Ratcat's Simon Day on what is anticipated to be the first single This Day Forward.
The Mansons were originally called The Charles Manson Experiment, and in 2005 their song Unmanned Canyon (Save Us Soon) was recorded for the Grow Your Own Vol. 10 Aus music compilation cd and released under that moniker. In 2006 the band began abbreviating to The Mansons and in 2008 they made the change official. Limited copies of the 7-track debut EP Blood, Love & Rhetoric can still be found under the original name, though it was re-released under The Mansons.
From 1981-83 there was an unrelated band from Newcastle NSW called "The Mansons", who referred to themselves as "Newcastle's Foremost Punk Band". They recorded 2 songs: What Is Her Name and B-side I Died Four Times (But I Don't Wanna Talk About It).
Sydney's The Mansons (2004-present) are in no way affiliated with the ephemeral shock punk group.
Song for You
The Mansons Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The muscles atrophied
We're on the other side, the screen is us and we're t.v.
Spread me open,
Sticking to my pointy ribs
Are all your infants in abortion cribs
I was born into this
Everything turns to shit
Pray until your number,
Asleep from all your pain,
Your apple has been rotting
Tomorrow's turned up dead
I have it all and I have no choice but to
I'll make everyone pay and you will see
You can kill yourself now
Because you're dead
In my mind
The boy that you loved is the monster you fear
Peel off all those eyes and crawl into the dark,
You've poisoned all of your children to camouflage your scars
Pray unto the splinters, pray unto your fear
Pray your life was just a dream
The cut that never heals
Pray now baby, pray your life was just a dream
(I am so tangled in my sins that I cannot escape)
Pinch the head off, collapse me like a weed
Someone had to go this far
I was born into this
Everything turns to shit
The boy that you loved is the man that you fear
Peel off all those eyes and crawl into the dark,
You've poisoned all of your children to camouflage your scars
Pray unto the splinters, pray unto your fear
Pray your life was just a dream
The cut that never heals
Pray now baby, pray your life was just a dream
The world in my hands, there's no one left to hear you scream
There's no one left for you
The Mansons's Song for You is a dark and intense depiction of the suffering and misery that seems to be inherent in human life. The first quatrain of the lyrics highlights the decay and corruption that has overtaken society. The metaphorical ants in the sugar and the atrophied muscles suggest that something sweet and vital has been overrun and rendered inert. The image of being on the other side of the screen, where the screen represents the modern world, reflects how we often distance ourselves from reality and become passive spectators to our own lives.
The second quatrain of the song sees the lyrics take a more personal turn, with the singer focusing on their own pain and the horrors of the world they inhabit. The pointy ribs and infants in the abortion cribs suggest physical and emotional trauma, while the line 'Everything turns to shit' is a blunt reflection of the futility of existence. The main refrain of the song, 'The boy that you loved is the man that you fear', suggests that as we age, we become more corrupted and dangerous, both to ourselves and others.
The final quatrain sees the song's lyrics descend into a kind of nihilistic nightmare. The images of crawling into the dark and poisoned children reflect the idea that the darkness and pain of the world infects us all, and that there is no escape from this suffering. The idea of praying to the splinters and to one's own fear suggests a desperate act of surrender, as one is left with only their own pain and horror. The final lines of the song paint a chilling picture of a world where there is no one left to hear us, where our screams are lost in an endless void.

The ants are in the sugar
There's an unpleasant situation happening right under our noses
The muscles atrophied
We've become weak and ineffective through lack of use or stimulation
We're on the other side, the screen is us and we're t.v.
We've become desensitized to the horrors of the world, watching it like a TV show
Spread me open, Sticking to my pointy ribs
I'm vulnerable and exposed, with nothing to protect me
Are all your infants in abortion cribs
Have you destroyed your own future?
I was born into this Everything turns to shit
Life is hard and everything eventually falls apart
The boy that you loved is the man that you fear
People change and become something scary
Pray until your number, Asleep from all your pain, Your apple has been rotting Tomorrow's turned up dead
Death is coming, and there's nothing left to do but pray
I have it all and I have no choice but to
Success comes with a price, and we're stuck living with the consequences
I'll make everyone pay and you will see
We're seeking revenge for the injustices done to us
You can kill yourself now Because you're dead In my mind
You're already dead to me, and any influence you once had is gone
The boy that you loved is the monster you fear
The people we once loved can become terrifying and dangerous
Peel off all those eyes and crawl into the dark, You've poisoned all of your children to camouflage your scars
Covering up our own pain can lead to hurting those closest to us
Pray unto the splinters, pray unto your fear Pray your life was just a dream The cut that never heals Pray now baby, pray your life was just a dream
We're grasping for something to believe in, hoping things aren't really as bad as they seem
Pinch the head off, collapse me like a weed Someone had to go this far
We're willing to destroy ourselves to prove a point, to be heard
The world in my hands, there's no one left to hear you scream There's no one left for you
We feel powerful and in control, but in the end we're all alone

歌詞です✌️
Let's grab a gold switch blade
And make us a blood pact, babe
To love and to f*ck and to only see ourselves
And remember this
Your hotel hall won't be so vacant
And I can tell that you ain't faking
Because I take death threats
Like the best of them
Would you kill, kill, kill for me?
I love you enough to ask you again
Would you kill, kill, kill for me?
You won't be kissing me unless you kill for me
Kill, kill, kill for me
Bloody noses are just like roses
But what happens when we are betrayed?
Won't you drag him to the shed
And unload six rounds in their fucking face?
This is a sacrifice
Your hotel hall won't be so vacant
And I can tell that you ain't faking
Because I take death threats
Like the best of them
Would you kill, kill, kill for me?
I love you enough to ask you again
Would you kill, kill, kill for me?
You won't be kissing me unless you kill for me

I love you enough to ask you again
Would you kill, kill, kill for me?
I love you enough to ask you again
Would you kill, kill, kill for me?
You won't be kissing me unless you kill for me
Kill, kill, kill for me
Kill, kill, kill for me
Sideways for attention, longways for results
Who are you going to cross?
