there's an apple in the pussy mouth
now I am the dinner whore
there's a tumor in the t.v. mouth
burn it out before it grows
someone better get the dog to kick,
jaws wired shut to save the dick
out of the bottomless pit comes the little horn
"little horn is born"
the world spreads its legs for another star
world shows its face for another scar
dead will dance for what is left
the worms will wait with baited breath
"your blind have now become my deaf"
so says this little horn
"save yourself from this..."
(chorus)

    Song Meaning:This song is the introduction to the next phase in the album. Its prophetic, telling that the worm changes into something far more sinister than he himself wouldn't have ever imagined. This song predicts the ill-fated events of the future.

    General Comment:To be yet another to dig their heels into the poor, foolish sumbitch who so loves Papa Roach (whose fifteen minutes were up YEARS ago anyway!!!)..... allow me to commence my contribution to this die-a-tribe by using the beauty of LYRICS!!!



    "You cut your brain into pieces. Your mindless statement was your last resort. 'Cause your brain is suffocated, for and with no reason-you inject an irrelevant statement about some washed-band and don't give a fuck that it's like comparing an armadillo to a chalkboard"

    And, to quote(ish) the song in question.

    "Maybe he wire shut HIS jaw to save HIS dick.

    We done had us a dog to kick."

    You know, I kinda forgot what I was GOING to say.

    I suppose that using the lyrics to cap on that dumb bastard is WAAAAAY more useful than anything I can pontificate upon.

    AND fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    General Comment:it's about how blind everyone is to what's happening to the world, and in the end, we will all suffer if we don't do something

    General Comment:a post-apocalyptic image of America methinks. The product of a culture which has become so forlorn all it can do is "open it's legs for another star" like a cheap whore!

    Awesome song.... Manson has fun dreams!

    General Comment:The song is based on a dream Marilyn Manson had of an apocalyptic future in Fort Lauderdale where most of the human race had been turned into zombies for the entertainment of a small elite. There was a strip club where they had reanimated female corpses and made them dance naked in cages made of thick metal bars. Their flesh was covered in boils and gnarled veins, and their hair was falling out in clumps. Their jaws had been wired shut so that they wouldn't bite off the penises of the men around them masturbating. The dream was the beginning of the concept for the Antichrist Superstar album.

    General Comment:Muzzy is right about the biblical reference.

    The post Killswitch made disagrees with a theory that I wrote a large essay about a few years ago when Manson was pretty much my obsession.

    There's a lot more to this than being told to fuck off by someone the worm admires. The triptych does begin at Holy Wood. Though I know that the triptych illustrates Jack's "becoming" into something he always hated and was against.

    Argh, I can't be bothered trying to form my essay again. Time for some folder hunting.

    General Comment:THanx killswitch916, though i kinda knew the AS story but i needed some things cleared out. I wish I Knew the other albums' stories to fully understand the trygent because people and MM himself have said that AS is the end of it.
    On the other hand i have to state that i feel so frustrated that there are so many idiotic manson fans. Also it's ludacris how stupid and ignorant the manson haters are. I mean you like acces every site to say fucked up stuff about him and his fans(some deserve it though). I mean if you don't like it go jack off to your fucking oldies rock or retarded black/death metal shit... What's the point, why hate him so much? Ignore him if you think your so much better. He got to you didn't he? That was his purpouse. Fucking wankers!

    General Comment:I believe that Worm is a metaphore for society, people are all the same and make the same, earth defiling, mistakes, we will all pay for these in the end. The story goes along song through song. some people are more advance and some are slow, but we all end the same. i hate the world. I hope you do to. in fact, if you have any ammount of true love left for the world then you are required to hate it (think about that for a minute). Little Horn is that representation of evil that grows in ys. the deisre for more, better, faster, etc. And the day will come when Little Horn will consume us all. the Holy Bible it true, ust not the way its written. and not the whole thing. it has been mis-interpretated and re-written by the worst men in power but the true story still shines through. it's all a metaphoire. Eden, Adam, Eve, The Tree, Christ, Satan, they're all metaphores that all you'll need is a functioning brain as far away from a tv as possible to understand. the Bible shows you all the things that are evil, or that will result in evil. This is Satan. Satan isn't a being, and god isn't a human. There is nothing human about god, there is no was to describe god. No old man in the sky, no universal mind, no metaphore, just god. No decisions, no mistakes, no punishments, no love, no hate, just god. maybe god is just a manifestation that we produce from instict. when we wrote the bible, the Qu'ran, etc, this showed through subconciously and we warned ourselves, but couldnt see before it was too late and it was manipulated for selfish purposes. There is no hell, or heaven. Its all in you mind

    General Comment:Ok. I've been researching the whole story from Antichrist Superstar, Mechanical Animals and Holy Wood, and I just got this album. This is what I found on Wikipedia:

    "The Rise and Fall of Little Horn

    Antichrist Superstar Shock logo.The characters in Antichrist Superstar are as follows:

    "The Worm": The main character.
    "The Superstar": A rock star the Worm used to worship.
    "Little Horn": The Antichrist.
    Cycle I - The Heirophant – The story begins with "Irresponsible Hate Anthem". It is most likely a concert of some sort that the Worm is attending. After the concert, the Worm gets to meet the Superstar of the band, who promptly tells the character to basically "fuck off" ("The Beautiful People"). The Worm doesn't care about life anymore ("Dried Up, Tied and Dead to the World"). The Superstar was most likely his only hero and the only person that he ever liked. "Tourniquet" could be a song about the Worm and the Superstar and how broken he is after being told off.

    Cycle II - Inauguration of the Worm – The Worm goes insane ("Little Horn"). Little Horn is said to be the Anti-Christ, and it is forming inside the Worm. The Worm is feeling of no importance anymore ("Cryptorchid"). The Worm is now starting to hate everything ("Wormboy"). Little Horn is growing more powerful inside of him. "Mister Superstar" contains the last words to the Superstar from the Worm before Little Horn appears. Empowered by Little Horn, the Worm kills the Superstar. "Angel with the Scabbed Wings", a song about poseurs, could be a metaphor for Little Horn posing as a human. The Worm and Little Horn then have a conversation about being an angel with scabbed wings ("Kinderfeld").

    Cycle III - Disintegrator Rising – In "Antichrist Superstar", Little Horn is out, and he's introducing himself to the world. Little Horn ravages Earth, destroying everything with the hate the Worm had growing inside him ("1996"). Nothing much is left on Earth except the Worm and Little Horn ("Minute of Decay"). In "The Reflecting God", The Worm realizes what has happened. Little Horn tells him what he had to do and now The Worm is regretting it. "Man That You Fear" marks the ending, in which The Worm realizes that Little Horn's destruction of the world did nothing but make him worse. The Worm now understands everything, but it doesn't matter anymore since he let Little Horn gain control and let him destroy the world. Now it feels like to the Worm that he is stuck in a dream."
