“None of the Suns” is the most explicitly post-punk and gothic song on One Assassination Under God – Chapter 2 . Its imagery seems almost designed for that genre: demons, blood, darkness, blackness, angels, Heaven, and the disappearance of daylight. Yet the song becomes much more interesting when those images are placed alongside Manson's own explanation of it. He has connected the song to his love of post-punk and goth music, but also to his fascination with Lewis Carroll and Carroll's relationship with nighttime. Manson has described “outrunning daylight” as a way of cheating death, which gives the night a meaning beyond gothic atmosphere. He has also cited Federico Fellini's Toby Dammit as an inspiration for the atmosphere of the song. The painting accompanying the song, which Manson calls “We're in the Black Now,” is his own image caught somewhere between day and night. That may be the most useful place to begin with the song, because the darkness here does not s...
On February 13, 2024, Lindsay Warner shared 6 new beautiful photographs on her Instagram page, along with one separate photo in her Instastories, the latter of which was shared by Marilyn Manson in his stories, along with the above photo captioned "Forever Valentine".
Valentine's Day is a significant theme in the work of Manson that we have seen a number of times, going back to his song "Valentine's Day" from Holy Wood. Besides also seeing it featured in some of his log-term past relationships, February 14th has also been a day when Manson has sometimes released some sort of new material. To add to this, it has been said that three songs from the Triptych were recorded on Valentine's Day ("Irresponsible Hate Anthem" - 1996, "I Want to Disappear" - 1998, and "Born Again" - 2000) to signify the beginning of Manson's revolution, which has been commemorated (repeated?) ever since.
Most interesting among these photos is what appears to be an indiscernible angel-like figure immersed in the shadow of moonlight, whose wings form the shape of a heart. Angels are turning out to be a theme in this new era, if we recall also the use of the "Fallen Angel" by Alexandre Cabanel at Manson's last birthday party. That angel was depicted in a somewhat vulnerable position ready for vengeance, but this one seems to indicate it is more focused and aware of its purpose as a new day dawns, despite being alone. We are still being given glimpses through shadows of what is coming. But it is significant to recall that Manson has also referred to angels a number of times in his work, usually as a reference to himself, such as in his song "Angel with the Scabbed Wings" from Antichrist Superstar, or even his lyric "Sometimes I dream I'm an exterminating angel" from "Unkillable Monster" on The High End of Low.
