I Hate (Demo)
Marilyn Manson · Other Songs - Marilyn Manson
The grill across my face
You are the fuel in my machine
That special place
You are the sunshine of my life
My first and only love
You are the apple of my eye
You suck my blood
And I Hate you more than life itself
I even hate you more than i hate myself
I hate, therefore I am
I am, therefore I hate
Another nail in my coffin
Another thorn in my side
Another gun to my temple
(Goodbye...goodbye)
And I Hate you more than life itself
I even hate you more than i hate myself
I hate, therefore I am
I am, therefore I hate
You are the final destination
The calm before the storm
You are the worm within my own self
I died when you were born
(I died when you were born)
And I Hate you more than life itself
I even hate you more than i hate myself
I Hate you more than life itself
I even hate you more than i hate myself
I Hate (Demo)
Released in 1996, 'I Hate (Demo)' stands as a raw and aggressive track from Marilyn Manson's early discography, preceding the polished sound of his debut album *Antichrist Superstar*. The song exemplifies the industrial metal and alternative rock fusion that defined his work during this period, characterized by distorted guitars, pounding drums, and Manson's intense, theatrical vocal delivery. As a standalone recording, it captures the chaotic energy and confrontational spirit that would become central to his public persona. The track serves as a significant document of his artistic evolution, showcasing the unrefined power that later informed his more complex musical arrangements. It remains a staple of his catalog, representing the visceral impact of his early recordings on the alternative rock scene.
