Scott's Metal Track of the Day - Great Big White World by Marilyn Manson

Today's Metal Track is Great Big White World by Marilyn Manson. This is the opening track off of his outstanding 1998 album Mechanical Animals. I was hooked on this album the first time I heard this track. It is still my favorite album of his.

Stolen from YouTube comments because it's better than I can explain it: "The song describes Manson as a spaceman, looking down on Earth, and seeing a revolting and depressing sight which is our destroyed world."

In space the stars are no nearer
They just glitter like a morgue
And I dreamed I was a spaceman
Burned like a moth in a flame
And our world was so fucking gone
