Let Your Ego Die
Marilyn Manson · Other Songs - Marilyn Manson
That she checks
When she's out of time
The cigarette's a spike
In the spur of the moment
Digging in her, side
...you fucking die...
She cuts the paper with nails
And her pen is bleeding poetry
Nervous from the sex that she got
And the wine that was spilled
On her clean, white, white sheets, sheets
Like to see you baby
All torn up inside
Girl you're dead already
So just, let your ego die
Nervous from the sex that she got
And the wine that was spilled
On her clean, white, white sheets, sheets
Like to see you baby
All torn up inside
Girl you're dead already
So just, let your ego die
Girl you're dead already
So just, let your ego die
Die, die, die, die
And I say you fucking die
Let Your Ego Die
Released in 2000 on the album Mechanical Animals, 'Let Your Ego Die' stands as a defining track in Marilyn Manson's evolution from industrial shock rock to a more polished, pop-inflected sound. The song exemplifies the era's shift toward anthemic structures, blending aggressive vocals with a driving rhythm that became a staple of his live performances. It reflects the band's continued exploration of themes regarding fame, identity, and self-destruction, delivered with the theatrical intensity characteristic of the artist's work. As a key component of the Mechanical Animals catalogue, the recording solidified Manson's status as a major force in alternative metal and industrial music during the turn of the millennium.
