"'''We're from America'''" is the twelfth track from [[Marilyn Manson (band)|Marilyn Manson]]'s 2009 release ''[[The High End of Low]]''. Its title was revealed on March 18, 2009, in the week's issue of ''Kerrang!''. The article erroneously states that the song was released during the second week of March 2009, however this did not actually happen until March 27, when it was released for free as a 320kbps MP3. It was later reissued as a digital single on April 7 and as a physical single, scheduled for release through Hot Topic on April 14. On March 30, "We're from America" was made available for streaming on Marilyn Manson's official MySpace profile.<br />
<br />
==Music details==<br />
In the March 18, 2009 issue of ''Kerrang!'', [[Marilyn Manson]] said of the song that "I think a lot of people will hear the track and initially think it's just political, but it's not just that, it's also me describing a lot of fucked-up scenarios that I'm going through in my personal life. Someone asked me, 'Why are you so fucked up?', 'Well, I am from America.' I hate the fact that so many people have fucked the country up, and so many people fucked up my personal life and I allowed it to happen. So in a way, I feel like America as a whole feels, but in no way does that make me a tree-hugging patriotic freedom rocker."<br />
<br />
In response to this interview, Rudy Coby, who earlier gave a brief explanation of "[[Devour]]", said about the song on his MySpace profile, "I love the song but it doesn't sound like any other song on the album - it was the one I said he played eleventh or twelveth almost as an afterthought. [...] It's one part of a journey - but it isn't giving away the game. I totally understand why ''Kerrang'' would want this as their special preview download though - everyone is reevaluating our country right now and this song is "America the (Un)Beautiful" and doesn't take any fucking shit."<br />
<br />
A blog by ''Metal Hammer'' describes "We're from America" as seeing the tempo of the album "finally elevated to fist-pumping pace, and features a riff that sounds like a Manson-ed up Muse riff and another Manson signature, the low rumbling toms. The lyrical themes are overt and feature the good old Manson wit we all love: "We're from America, where Jesus was born; we're from America where we speak American" and "God is an excuse." There is also the overt criticism of the pro-life neo-cons and their anti-abortion policies – this is by far the most direct song on the album, and will doubtless become an anti-anthem in line with [[The Fight Song|Fight Song]] or [[The Beautiful People|Beautiful People]]. Again, while the backing track offers little musical complexity, it hammers home the message and allows [[Marilyn Manson|Manson]]'s voice to carry the tune – building like some apocalyptic dance track... played by a metal band."<ref>[http://www.metalhammer.co.uk/uncategorized/marilyn-manson-high-end-of-low-album-track-by-track/ Marilyn Manson 'High End Of Low' Album Track-By-Track].

The Quietus' John Robb noted that "A weird reverbed industrial drum sound starts the track off before the song kicks in: "We're from America / Where we eat our young / Where Jesus was born / Where they let you come in their faces!" Robb cites this as "Manson at his very best with funny, pithy put downs of the American dream. This is the mirror held up to all that is ugly about his home nation." Robb did not move on in his review before declaring "We're from America" one of the record's top tracks.<ref>[http://thequietus.com/articles/01639-marilyn-manson-high-end-of-low-album-review Marilyn Manson's High End Of Low Reviewed Track-By-Track].

In his review for Allmusic, Phil Freeman, who was unsatisfied by the album, described "We're from America" as aggressive, and having "bursts of lyrical wit, but when your opening line, 'We're from America where we eat our young,' is cribbed from Funkadelic circa 1972, you're pretty much advertising that you're out of ideas." Freeman also noted that the song's title was "perhaps the most unwittingly revelatory" one on the album.<ref>[http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=10:wcfoxzy0ldde The High End of Low].

==Trivia==<br />
* During his appearance on the pilot episode for Swedish talkshow ''Söndagsparty med Filip & Fredrik'', Marilyn Manson jokingly exclaimed "I speak American," in reference to the song.<br />
* The song's opening line "We're from America, We're from America / Where we eat our young" may be a nod to American psychedelic band Funkadelic's 1972 album ''America Eats Its Young''.<br />

"'''Into the Fire'''" is the fourteenth from [[Marilyn Manson (band)|Marilyn Manson]]'s 2009 release ''[[The High End of Low]]''. Its title was revealed on April 16, 2009, in an update on the band's official website. Despite its slow, melancholic sound, "Into the Fire" is one of the more optimistic songs in Marilyn Manson's catalogue, discouraging being influenced by those who "want to hit bottom."<br />
<br />
==Music details==<br />
Reviewing for The Quietus, John Robb described the song as "Another dramatic neo-ballad" which "rolls in with piano and, gasp! an orchestra." He also cited it as "like Manson's 'Imagine' but it doesn't lull you into a false sense of security- there are still billowing clouds of gloom, and it all sounds as if it should be shoehorned into the next Tim Burton gothic horror masterpiece. There is something quite 70s about the song - possibly a hint of the great Mott the Hoople when Ian Hunter sung his ace weary ballads."<ref>[http://thequietus.com/articles/01639-marilyn-manson-high-end-of-low-album-review Marilyn Manson's High End Of Low Reviewed Track-By-Track].

==Lyrics==<br />
This is the film<br />
close to the third act and the misery<br />
It's not rain<br />
you rapist werewolves,<br />
It's god pissing down on you<br />
<br />
You won't die alone<br />
Cause I'll break off my own arms and<br />
sharpen my bones, <br />
stab you once for each time<br />
I thought of you<br />
trying to take something<br />
you'll never be good enough<br />
to even look upon<br />
<br />
It's better to push something when it's slipping<br />
than to risk being dragged down<br />
<br />
If you wanna hit bottom<br />
don't bother trying and taking me with you<br />
and I won't answer if you call<br />
Two heartbeats ahead in Hell<br />
trying to break your fall<br />
your fall<br />
<br />
This isn't a mob,<br />
Won't need to change the names<br />
everyone around you has murdered someone's something sacred<br />
there isn't one nail without dirt under it<br />
there isn't any "white cotton panties"<br />
that aren't soaked and stained red<br />
<br />
It's better to push something when it's slipping<br />
than to risk being dragged down<br />
<br />
If you wanna hit bottom<br />
don't bother trying and taking me with you<br />
and I won't answer if you call<br />
two heartbeats ahead in Hell<br />
trying to break your fall<br />
your fall<br />
<br />
(Into the fire)<br />
(Into the fire)<br />
(Into the fire)<br />
(Into the fire)<br />
(Into the fire)<br />
(Into the fire)<br />
(Into the fire)<br />
(Into the fire)<br />

Its title was revealed on April 16, 2009, in an update on the band's official website.

In his review for The Quietus, John Robb gave a surprisingly sparse analysis of "I Have to Look Up Just to See Hell", although he did declare it "Another maggot-infested ride into the trough of melancholy."<ref>[http://thequietus.com/articles/01639-marilyn-manson-high-end-of-low-album-review Marilyn Manson's High End Of Low Reviewed Track-By-Track].

chooses to revolve like a corpse<br />
centrifugal, melted under the skin,<br />
bacteria...<br />
into the napalm heart I explode,<br />
I explode<br />
I explode<br />

You can take me,<br />

==Trivia==<br />
* During his appearance on the pilot episode for Swedish talkshow ''Söndagsparty med Filip & Fredrik'', Marilyn Manson jokingly exclaimed "I speak American," in reference to the song.<br />
* The song's opening line "We're from America, We're from America / Where we eat our young" may be a nod to American psychedelic band Funkadelic's 1972 album ''America Eats Its Young''.<br />

==Lyrics==<br />
How the fuck are we supposed to know<br />
when I'm a monster, the way<br />
you refuse to die?<br />
How the fuck are we supposed to know<br />
if we're in love or if we're pain<br />
<br />
I'm a tightrope walker<br />
I can't find my circus<br />
and I'm damaged beyond repair<br />
You're just a coffin of a girl I knew<br />
and I'm buried in you<br />
<br />
You never said "I'll end up like this"<br />
You never said "I'll end up like this"<br />
no, no, no, no...<br />
<br />
Sometimes I dream I'm an exterminating angel<br />
a traveling executioner from heaven<br />
sent to give you the prettiest death I know<br />
call the grave and make our reservations<br />
<br />
You never said "I'll end up like this"<br />
You never said "I'll end up like this"<br />
no...<br />
You never said "I'll end up like this"<br />
You never said "I'll end up like this"<br />
no... <br />
no, no, no, no, no...<br />
<br />
Are we in love or are we in pain?<br />
Are we in love or are we in pain?<br />
Are we in love or are we in pain?<br />
Are we in love or are we in pain?<br />
<br />
How the fuck are we supposed to know<br />
when I'm a monster, the way<br />
you refuse to die?<br />
How the fuck are we supposed to know<br />
if we're in love or if we're pain<br />
Why is my wound a front door to you?<br />
Am I my own shadow?<br />
Why is my wound a front door to you?<br />
Am I my own shadow?<br />

"'''Wight Spider'''" is the tenth track from the 2009 release ''[[The High End of Low]]''. Its title was revealed on April 7, 2009, in a blog which described both it and eight other songs from the album.<ref name="Metal Hammer 04/07/09">[http://www.metalhammer.co.uk/uncategorized/marilyn-manson-high-end-of-low-album-track-by-track/ Marilyn Manson 'High End Of Low' Album Track-By-Track]. ''Metal Hammer''. April 7, 2009.</ref><br />
<br />
==Music details==<br />
A blog by ''Metal Hammer'' describes "Wight Spider" as having "Massive chords replete with omonious semi-tones. This may not be groundbreaking stuff for the band, but it is what they do best. Spooky black-glam vocal delivery and taunting bullying choruses with falsetto layers that dance round you like a black mass meets the hokey-cokey. Lyrically, the themes fit, with accusations of "possession" and an aggressive recurring "you". Again there are melodic similarities to material from [[Holy Wood (In the Shadow of the Valley of Death)|Holywood]], but not so much as to be embarrassing. The pop-structures of previous tracks from the album are gone and what he learned from [[Trent Reznor]] is back – whether conscious or not: the track builds and builds without changing direction. Again the slower tempo brings the album average down, and you might find yourself wanting something a bit quicker to plug-in the aggression – the kind that has you pounding your steering wheel and you pass a born again Christian who's been blocking you since the service station on the motorway. Or something."<ref name="Metal Hammer 04/07/09"/><br />
<br />
In his review for The Quietus, John Robb explains that the song "drives along with a bass line that sounds like it was borrowed from everyone's favourite uber-Viking Peter Hook- that kind of snaking, one fingered, minor key thing."<ref>[http://thequietus.com/articles/01639-marilyn-manson-high-end-of-low-album-review Marilyn Manson's High End Of Low Reviewed Track-By-Track].

==Lyrics==<br />
I'll build you a shiny<br />
dollhouse or church<br />
where you can shrink<br />
into a tiny wight spider<br />
and gorge on horrid memories<br />
with conceited wings<br />
<br />
Smother the past in a cocoon<br />
for me<br />
and I'll help you move<br />
all the bodies<br />
<br />
I'll possess you but I don't need you<br />
to be another one of my posessions<br />
I don't need you to be my possession<br />
<br />
And I won't make you kneel,<br />
for anyone but me<br />
Won't promise a star,<br />
don't promise your soul<br />
We'll say that we don't believe<br />
<br />
I'll keep you wet when the world is dry<br />
I can see them coming<br />
I'll take you back inside<br />
if they came for answers<br />
I'll wrap my claws around your mouth tight<br />
we'll consume each other<br />
until there's nothing left to hide<br />
and they can all drown in our blood<br />
<br />
I'll possess you but I don't need you<br />
to be another one of my posessions<br />
I don't need you to be my possession<br />
<br />
And I won't make you kneel,<br />
for anyone but me<br />
Won't promise a star,<br />
don't promise your soul<br />
We'll say that we don't believe<br />
<br />
And I won't make you kneel,<br />
for anyone but me<br />
Won't promise a star,<br />
don't promise your soul<br />
We'll say that we don't believe<br />
<br />
We'll say that we don't believe<br />
<br />
We can't haunt this home,<br />
home anymore<br />
no, no, no, no, no<br />
We can't haunt this home,<br />
home anymore<br />
no, no, no, no, no<br />
We can't haunt this home,<br />
home anymore<br />
no, no, no, no, no<br />
We can't haunt this home,<br />
home anymore<br />
no, no, no, no, no.<br />

"'''WOW'''" is the ninth track from [[Marilyn Manson (band)|Marilyn Manson]]'s 2009 release ''[[The High End of Low]]''. Its title was revealed on April 7, 2009, in a blog which described both it and another songs from the album, "[[Arma-goddamn-motherfuckin-geddon]]".<ref name="March 27">[http://www.metalhammer.co.uk/news/marilyn-manson-new-tracks-previewed/ Marilyn Manson New Tracks Previewed]. ''Metal Hammer''. March 27, 2009.</ref><br />
<br />
==Music details==<br />
A blog by ''Metal Hammer'' describes "WOW" as "a grinding, [[Nine Inch Nails|NIN]]-tinged sex anthem. Genuinely filthy and intensely sexy, The Wow sees Manson riding a dirty [[Twiggy|Twiggy Ramirez]] bassline in an almost spoken-word style. Quirky keyboards interject all the way through the track while sexual female groans (occasionally spoken in German) swarm behind the crunching industrial backing track. The WoW doesn't have anything in the way of memorable hooks but it is the sort of track that would sound amazing in a goth stripclub...if one existed."<ref name="March 27"/><br />
<br />
Reviewing for Thrash Hits, Hugh Platt cited that "for every killer track there's one like 'WOW', a gutful of sickly electro honky-tonk with Manson at his lyrically most self-absorbed."<ref>[http://www.thrashhits.com/2009/05/album-marilyn-manson-the-high-end-of-low/ Album: Marilyn Manson - The High End Of Low].

==Lyrics==<br />
I had a dream,<br />
this one I feel the need to mention:<br />
I was happy for 'awhile' and I stopped being scared and ashamed<br />
to say what's on my mind.<br />
but you thought I'd change after 'awhile' and said,<br />
"You better treat me different, or else!"<br />
<br />
"Or else" seems like a stupid, fucking<br />
thing to say to someone like me<br />
someone like me?<br />
<br />
Wow, wow, wow w w w w w w w wow<br />
<br />
Don't be surprised I can look you in the eye<br />
but it's hard to take you<br />
serious when you take me inside<br />
Don't be surprised I can look you in the eye<br />
but it's hard to take you<br />
serious when you take me inside<br />
<br />
I am worse<br />
than what you think you'd catch from me<br />
'complicated' is understated<br />
Did you stop and take a look at who you fell in love with?<br />
at who you fell in love with?<br />
It doesn't matter how many times I say it,<br />
It never gets old,<br />
That's why I have to say WOW<br />
Wow, wow, wow w w w w w w w WOW<br />
<br />
Don't be surprised I can look you in the eye<br />
but it's hard to take you<br />
serious when you take me inside<br />
Don't be surprised I can look you in the eye<br />
but it's hard to take you<br />
serious when you take me inside<br />
<br />
It doesn't matter if you're going to come or just going<br />
I never wanted you to come here anyway<br />
There is a word that's like you<br />
because it can be a noun, a verb, an exclamation<br />
or the thing I say<br />
when something is unbelievable<br />
when I am not able to believe, how unbelievably, unbelievable<br />
that you believe that you could not be leavable<br />
That's when I have to say<br />
WOW, WOW, WOW<br />
w w w w w w w WOW<br />
<br />
Don't be surprised I can look you in the eye<br />
but it's hard to take you<br />
serious when you take me inside<br />
Don't be surprised I can look you in the eye<br />
but it's hard to take you<br />
serious when you take me inside<br />
<br />
It doesn't matter how many times I say it,<br />
It never gets old,<br />
That's why I have to say WOW<br />
