"WOW"
WOW cover
Song by Marilyn Manson
Album The High End of Low
Released May 25, 2009
Recorded March 2008–January 2009 in Los Angeles and Hollywood, California
Label Interscope
Writer Marilyn Manson
Producer Marilyn Manson, Chris Vrenna, Twiggy Ramirez, Sean Beavan

"WOW" is the ninth track from 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".[1]

Music details

A blog by Metal Hammer describes "WOW" as "a grinding, NIN-tinged sex anthem. Genuinely filthy and intensely sexy, The Wow sees Manson riding a dirty 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."[1]

Lyrics

    I had a dream, this one I feel the need to mention
    I was happy for a while and I stopping scared
    And ashamed to say what's on my mind
    But you thought I'd change after a while
    And said "you better treat me different or else"
    "Or else" seems like a stupid fucking thing to say to someone like me
    Someone like me
    
    Wow
    Wow
    Wow
    Wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow
    
    Don't be surprised I can look you in the eye
    It's hard to take you serious when you take me inside
    Don't be surprised I can look you in the eye
    It's hard to take you serious when you take me inside
    
    I'm worse than what you think you'd catch from me
    Complicated's understated
    Did you stop and take a look at who you fell in love with?
    At who you fell in love with
    It doesn't matter how many times I say it
    It never gets old 
    That's why I have to say
    
    Wow
    Wow
    Wow
    Wow wow wow wow wow wow wow
    
    Don't be surprised I can look you in the eye
    It's hard to take you serious when you take me inside
    Don't be surprised I can look you in the eye
    It's hard to take you serious when you take me inside
    
    It doesn't matter if you're going to come 
    Or just going
    I never wanted you to come here anyway
    There's a word that's like you 
    Because it can be a noun, a verb, an exclamation or the thing I say
    
    When something is unbelievable 
    When I'm not able to believe how unbelievably unbelievable
    That you believe you can not be leavable
    That's when I have to say
    
    Wow
    Wow
    Wow
    Wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow
    
    Don't be surprised I can look you in the eye
    It's hard to take you serious when you take me inside
    Don't be surprised I can look you in the eye
    It's hard to take you serious when you take me inside
