Sweet Tooth
Marilyn Manson · Portrait Of An American Family
she's melting on me like cotton candy
I make the faces that make you cry
I want you more when you're afraid of
my disease, disease is draining me
anymore you're not so pretty please
disease, disease is draining me
I want you more when you're afraid of me
I will break your inside out
you are mine, you are mine
I will break you inside out
you are mine, you are mine
her hair hangs in swollen strings
I'm choking on her, it feels so sickening
I make the faces that make you cry
I want you more when you're afraid of
my disease, disease is draining me
anymore you're not so pretty please
disease, disease is draining me
I want you more when you're afraid of me
I will break you inside out
you are mine, you are mine
Sweet Tooth
Sweet Tooth stands as a defining track from Marilyn Manson's 1994 debut album, Portrait of an American Family. Emerging from the industrial rock scene, the song captures the band's early aesthetic of theatrical horror and distorted soundscapes. The recording showcases Manson's signature vocal delivery, blending whispered intimacy with aggressive shouts to create a sense of unsettling tension. As part of a groundbreaking release that challenged mainstream rock conventions, the track highlights the artist's ability to merge pop sensibilities with darker, more abrasive textures. This work remains a crucial song point for understanding the evolution of industrial music in the 1990s and Manson's initial impact on the genre.
