"Into the Fire" is the fourteenth from 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."

Music details

Into The Fire's tone with heavy use of piano and strings finds many to believe this to have more than a slight resemblance to brit band Oasis. 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."[1] The song features a lengthy guitar solo at the end, quite unusual for a Marilyn Manson track. Manson noted that on track 14, this track, "Twiggy really shines as a guitarist."

Lyrics

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