Suicide Snowman
Marilyn Manson · Other Songs - Marilyn Manson
Oh no, but I'm busy
Killing me
I don't have time to build a suicide
Because the snowman melts in spring
The striper girls will not be coming back
In the summer...for me
I don't have time to even say goodbye
We are dying as winter lives
Spring
Snow melts in my lawn and I am free
Corn cob pipe and a button nose
Bottled in the ground too long
Snow melts in my lawn and I am....
If I had time to kill the world I'd try
But I'm busy
Kill is ever me
I don't have time to even say goodbye
We are dying as winter lives
Spring
Snow melts in my lawn and I am free
Corn cob pipe and a button nose
Spring
My tit is about to explode
Suicide Snowman
Released in 1996 on the album Mechanical Animals, 'Suicide Snowman' stands as a defining track in Marilyn Manson's evolution from industrial rock to gothic pop. The song features a haunting, repetitive melody that contrasts with Manson's aggressive vocal delivery, creating a tension characteristic of his work during the mid-to-late 1990s. It explores themes of existential dread and societal pressure, utilizing a minimalist production style that emphasizes atmosphere over complexity. As one of the band's most recognizable singles, it solidified Manson's status as a pioneer of the alternative metal and gothcore genres, influencing a generation of artists who blended dark imagery with electronic textures. The track remains a staple of his discography, often cited as a key example of the era's shift toward more melodic, yet still visceral, heavy music.
