Eye
Marilyn Manson · Other Songs - Marilyn Manson
I stop, I hesitate
I am, I breathe
I meant, I think of me
Is it any wonder I can't sleep?
All I have is all you gave to me
Is it any wonder I found peace through you?
Turn to the gates of heaven, to myself be damned
Turn away from light
It's not enough, just a touch
It's not enough
I taste, I love
I come, I bleed enough
I hate, I'm not
I was, I want too much
Is it any wonder I can't sleep?
All I have is all you gave to me
Is it any wonder I found peace through you?
Turn to the gates of heaven, to myself be damned
Turn away from light
It's not enough, just a touch
It's not enough, just a touch
It's not enough, just a touch
It's not enough, just a touch
It's not enough, just a touch
It's not enough, just a touch
Eye - Marilyn Manson
Released in 1996 on the album Mechanical Animals, "Eye" stands as a defining track in Marilyn Manson's evolution from industrial shock rock to a more melodic, pop-infused sound. The song features a distinctive, haunting melody that contrasts sharply with the band's earlier aggression, showcasing the influence of artists like The Cure and The Smashing Pumpkins. With its driving bassline and Manson's emotive vocal delivery, the recording captures the tension between dark themes and catchy hooks that would characterize much of the late 90s alternative rock landscape. It remains a staple of his discography, illustrating his ability to blend theatrical performance with accessible songwriting during a pivotal era in his career.
