Elvis left the building, and this is probably the feeling of almost all Americans after the 2016 presidential elections. And for most, life must go on, but Marilyn Manson does not take the presidential results lightly. In his music video titled "Say10," alludes to cutting off Donald Trump's head, drenched in blood.
As for how Manson branded himself for years, his bible-shaming theme remains consistent in his videos and tunes. It is not surprising if the 47-year-old shock rocker presents his contemporary issues in an extremely unsettling fashion.
In the video, the rock icon sits on a throne while playing with a bloodied knife with his blood-stained fingers. The smoky backdrop would remind you of a horror flick. A part of the video presents Manson holding a bible, then flipping, tearing its pages and then throws them off.
Moreover, the clip suddenly shifts to a scene wherein a man lies on a bloodied floor, without his head. What makes it more shocking, the camera flashes to a man standing with one hand holding a head with a crushed face and looks eerily like Trump.
According to Mirror News, Manson said that the video is a reflection of the people's confusion over politics, sexuality, religion and how they all tie together. He intends to deliver his expression controversial in a way that will cause the public to have more questions. As far as political allegiances go, Manson has mentioned before that he won't cast his vote in the elections.
The same source revealed that the beheading of a man in the video is a commentary on the Republican president's racism. Consequence Of Sound reported that the "Say10" video was directed by "Final Girl" director Tyler Shields. Manson's tunes and Shields vision materialized their feelings towards the newly elected commander-in-chief. The official release of his 10th album named "Say10" will be on Valentine's day, February 14 of 2017.
