Valentines day lyrics marilyn manson

She was the color of T.V.
Her mouth could render like a metal snake
All of Holy Wood was sad
They'd remembered that this is Valentines day
Flies are waiting

In the shadow of the Valley of Death
In the shadow of the Valley of Death
Slit our wrists and send us to heaven
You're the first flower after the flood

I saw that pregnant girl today
She didn't know that it was dead inside
Even though it was alive
Some of us are really born to die
Flies are waiting

In the shadow of the Valley of Death
In the shadow of the Valley of Death
Slit our wrists and send us to heaven
You're the first flower after the flood

In the shadow of the Valley of Death
In the shadow of the Valley of Death
In the shadow of the Valley of Death
In the shadow of the Valley of Death
In the shadow of the Valley of Death
In the shadow of the Valley of Death
In the shadow of the Valley of Death
In the shadow of the Valley of Death

A continuance of the metaphor for the relationship between Manson and Rose McGowan. Coma (the relationship) is now dead, abandoned by her for the seclusive nature under which 'Holy Wood' was developed; Manson took extra incentive in writing the emotive lyrics. Valentine's Day - not pretty in the eyes of Manson. Contradictory to the norm (as with most facets of life), Manson holds defective memories as Valentine's Day was the day his relationship with Missi turned sour. In this nature, it is a touch of irony that, "Although Holy Wood was sad, they'd remember this day as Valentine's Day" (sic)

"She was the color of TV"

TV encapsulates a grey, static image, with which colour intimittently fades in and out of - spots of vanishing life. The relationship is truly dead, as is adamantly described by Manson. "Flies are waiting" alludes to this fact. The fact that flies were in fact waiting draws us to the conclusion that the sour end to their relationship was duly impending. Encroaching upon them, exacerbating on Valentine's Day.

"I saw that pregnant girl today
she didn't know that it was dead inside
even though it was alive
some of us are really born to die"

This verse expertly intertwines two precepts in a deft touch of poetic parallelism. Missi, his former girlfriend, had become pregnant, bearing a child of Manson. However, opting for an abortion, Manson laments, "I sat in the women's clinic waiting room, imagining what was going on just three rooms away as the doctors put a rod the size of a matchstick, with two tiny thread-like strands jutting from the top, up into Missi's cervix, causing it to dilate before tearing out the brain of our child with a pair of forceps." Thus a comparison is made between the foetus' destruction, and the spirit within him being crushed by the break-up.

Furthermore, Manson could well be alluding to the conception of love between he and Missy. In true fact, the bond they shared was destined only to die. The love had blossomed, yet, served only as an illusory hope.

Valentine's Day Song Lyrics

She was the color of T.V.

Her mouth could render like a metal snake

All of holy wood was sad

They'd remembered that this is Valentines day

Flies are waiting

In the shadow of the valley of death

In the shadow of the valley of death

Slit our wrists and send us to heaven

The first flower after the flood

I saw that pregnant girl today

She didn't know that it was dead inside

Even though it was alive

Some of us are really born to die

Flies are waiting

In the shadow of the valley of death

In the shadow of the valley of death

Slit our wrists and send us to heaven

The first flower after the flood

In the shadow of the valley of death

In the shadow of the valley of death

In the shadow of the valley of death

In the shadow of the valley of death

In the shadow of the valley of death

In the shadow of the valley of death

In the shadow of the valley of death

In the shadow of the valley of death

"Valentine's Day" is the sixteenth track on the 2000 release Holy Wood (In the Shadow of the Valley of Death). The lyric "they'd remember this as Valentine's Day" was the key to finding a promotional website called ThisAsValentinesDay.com.

References to the previous Triptych albums can be found in the second verse. Theories speculate that the girl referenced in the song is Coma and the baby she carries is the Worm aka the Antichrist Superstar. These theories are, however, generally not accepted for it is widely believed that the album story lines have little connection other than concept.

Lyrics[edit]

    She was the color of T.V.
    Her mouth curled under like a metal snake
    Although Holy Wood was sad
    They'd remember this as Valentine's day
    
    Flies are waiting
    
    In the Shadow of the Valley of Death
    In the Shadow of the Valley of Death
    
    They slit our wrists and send us to heaven
    The first flower after the flood
    
    I saw that pregnant girl today
    She didn't know that it was dead inside
    Even though it was alive
    Some of us are really born to die
    
    Flies are waiting
    
    In the Shadow of the Valley of Death
    In the Shadow of the Valley of Death
    
    They slit our wrists and send us to heaven
    The first flower after the flood
    
    In the Shadow of the Valley of Death
    In the Shadow of the Valley of Death
