Marilyn Manson lyric dissection (as of 5/01/2017)

"Career statistics"

This is a statistical analysis on the linguistics of Marilyn Manson throughout his career. Every audible word spoken has

been accounted for; however background noise and samples have remained left out. Every word has been accounted for

each time it has been said in each song from Marilyn Manson's studio albums; each song has been listened to numerous

times and lyrics have been transcribed fresh (and not copied) with the support of album booklets and official listings.

It should be noted that most lyric websites (such as AZLyrics and even MansonWiki in some instances) are not entirely

accurate. If you were to simply copy lyrics from these websites, you will get different (and less accurate) results.

Marilyn Manson studio albums studied:

Portrait Of An American Family (1994)

Antichrist Superstar (1996)

Mechanical Animals (1998)

Holy Wood (In The Shadow Of The Valley Of Death) (2000)

The Golden Age of Grotesque (2003)

Eat Me, Drink Me (2007)

The High End Of Low (2009)

Born Villain (2012)

The Pale Emperor (2015)

Remixes, EP's b-sides, demos, covers, alternative mixes or otherwise unofficial tracks have not been included.

If SAY10 ever comes out; this list will be updated, and those lyrics will be added.

I've attempted to make this as accurate as possible and spent very much time doing this.

Any errors, if any are to exist,should be minimal. This is not, however, a professional study.

TOTAL WORDS SPOKEN: 32,868

ii. unique words

Unique word count: how many *different* words Manson has said.

As time goes by, it becomes more difficult to use words he hasn't used before. Each album has it's own unique word count, these do not, however, add together.

For example: the first word spoken on Portrait Of An American Family is "there's." That means every time it is spoken after that, it is not unique to his "career."

it is VERY interesting to note how many times 15% shows up here. Manson's "lucky number". An incredible coincidence, but I do doubt that this was at all intentional.

precentages show how many words in the entire album are unique.

Portrait of an American Family: 588 (23%)

Antichrist Superstar: 657 (15%)

Mechanical Animals: 507 (14.5%)

Holy Wood: 653 (15%)

Golden Age Of Grotesque: 721 (15%)

Eat Me Drink Me: 557 (17%)

The High End Of Low: 671 (13.8%)

Born Villain: 553 (19.92%)

The Pale Emperor: 425 (15%)

**CAREER: out of the 32,868 spoken words on Marilyn Manson's studio albums, 2630 are unique. Therefore, every 12.5 words spoken, Manson uses a word that he has never used before.

1059 words in Manson's career have been used just once.

iii. syllables

syllable count: 44870

monosyllabic words: 23522

polysyllabic words: 2033

iv. length statistics

An entire list of all of Manson's lyrics from the albums studied is 165,289 characters long, including spaces. Excluding them, it is 130,440 characters.

Short words: (Words with 3 characters or less): 15000 (very interesting. once the next album is released, however, this will change.)

Long words: (Words with 7 or more characters): 3173 (10%)

longest sentence: what's yours is mine, yours is mine, told you, fucker, yours is mine, snake eyes for sissies

longest words: prescriptions, phenobarbidoll, disassociative, slaughterhouse, frankensteins, disintegrating, mephistopheles

longest word by count of syllables: disassociative

v. grammar words.

"Grammar" words are a necessary part of language, so I feel they should be shown separately from other word counts below.

"the" has been counted 1346 times.

"you" has been counted 1195 times.

"i" has been counted 1149 times.

"to" has been counted 793 times.

"and" has been counted 758 times.

this is technically the five most used words in Marilyn Manson's discography; more complex words are counted in separate sections.

vi. most common words
