"A Place In The Dirt" adalah sebuah lagu yang menggugah pemikiran dari Marilyn Manson yang mengeksplorasi tema kematian, kesia-siaan, dan pencarian makna dalam keberadaannya yang fana. Lirik lagu yang kuat menyoroti perasaan keterasingan dan keputusasaan, dengan gambar-gambar yang menghantui seperti "anak-anak Tuhan dikutuk dan mati" dan "malaikat dengan jarum menusuk mata kami." Melalui metafora yang mencolok dan bahasa yang penuh teka-teki, lagu ini mengundang pendengar untuk merenungkan kerapuhan hidup dan peran kematian dalam membentuk pemahaman kita tentang dunia.
A Place In The Dirt Lyrics
Marilyn Manson
We are damned and we are dead
all god's children to be sent
to our perfect place in the sun
and in the dirt
There's a windshield in my heart
we are bugs so smeared and scarred
and could you stop the meat from thinking
before I swallow all of it,
could you please?
Put me in the motorcade
put me in the death parade
dress me up and take me
dress me up and make me
your dying god
angels with needles
poked through our eyes
let the ugly light
of the world in
we were no longer blind
we were no longer blind
Put me in the motorcade
put me in the death parade
dress me up and take me
dress me up and make me
your dying god
Now we hold the "ugly head"
the Mary-whore is at the bed
They've cast the shadow of our perfect death
in the sun and in the dirt.
all god's children to be sent
to our perfect place in the sun
and in the dirt
There's a windshield in my heart
we are bugs so smeared and scarred
and could you stop the meat from thinking
before I swallow all of it,
could you please?
Put me in the motorcade
put me in the death parade
dress me up and take me
dress me up and make me
your dying god
angels with needles
poked through our eyes
let the ugly light
of the world in
we were no longer blind
we were no longer blind
Put me in the motorcade
put me in the death parade
dress me up and take me
dress me up and make me
your dying god
Now we hold the "ugly head"
the Mary-whore is at the bed
They've cast the shadow of our perfect death
in the sun and in the dirt.
