Marilyn Manson’s greatest and most popular songs

Marilyn Manson, who’s said to have sparked so much sensationalism that many kids were banned by their parents from attending his concerts.

Even the band name—combining Marilyn Monroe’s sensuality and tragic aura with Charles Manson’s brutality and cult infamy—makes it clear how surreal it is.

I’ve put together a song list from a band with a core, horror-tinged worldview and exceptionally rare musical talent.

Marilyn Manson’s greatest and most popular songs (21–30)

SacrilegiousMarilyn Manson

Marilyn Manson – Sacrilegious (Music Video)
SacrilegiousMarilyn Manson

A striking track marked by provocative, satirical lyrics that desecrate the sacred.

Embracing an anti-religious theme, it’s set against a heavy, dark soundscape.

The song charts a deep journey of self-exploration that seems to connect with Marilyn Manson’s own inner conflicts and past traumas, delivering a powerful message to listeners.

Released in September 2024, it is slated to be included on the album “One Assassination Under God – Chapter 1,” scheduled for release in November of the same year.

It looks to be an important milestone for Manson.

A recommended listen for those who resonate with defiance and a confrontational stance, and for anyone who holds a critical perspective on society and religion.

In The Air Tonight (Phil Collins Cover)Marilyn Manson

Marilyn Manson, formed in Florida in 1989, has revived Phil Collins’s signature song with a gothic, dark arrangement.

Released in April 2025, this work ambitiously packs in industrial rock elements while faithfully preserving the original’s tension and heartbeat-like drums.

Teaming up with producer Tyler Bates, they forged a weighty sound that represents the essence of a band long praised for past covers like “Sweet Dreams” and “Tainted Love.” It also drew attention as a promotional track for the same year’s “One Assassination Under God Tour,” and the limited-edition maxi single CD sold out in just four hours after release.

Experience the full force of this track on a lonely night walk or as the soundtrack to a late-night drive wrapped in silence.

The Mephistopheles Of Los AngelesMarilyn Manson

The Mephistopheles Of Los AngelesMarilyn Manson

A track released as a single in 2015 by Marilyn Manson, an American rock band active since 1989.

It’s a mid-tempo, blues-inspired rock track.

It became a hit in countries such as Poland and reached No.

3 on the German charts.

DisassociativeMarilyn Manson

When people think of Marilyn Manson, relatively aggressive songs like “The Beautiful People” are famous, but this one feels steeped in gloom and languor, which I think makes it fitting as a depression song.

It wasn’t released as a single, so you can only hear it on the album.

Killing StrangersMarilyn Manson

Marilyn Manson – Killing Strangers
Killing StrangersMarilyn Manson

Marilyn Manson’s song “Killing Strangers,” released in 2014, is also featured on the soundtrack of the popular film John Wick starring Keanu Reeves.

It’s said that the song was influenced by Manson’s father’s experiences with PTSD from the Vietnam War, and its poignant melody—an alternative rock piece with blues elements—conveys the futility of war and the cycle of violence.

While it may seem far removed from the typical image of the band Marilyn Manson, it’s worth knowing that they created a song like this.

Valentine’s DayMarilyn Manson

Marilyn Manson Valentine’s Day Lyrics
Valentine's DayMarilyn Manson

I was wondering what Manson’s take on a Valentine’s song would be like…

and of course, it turned out to be so very Manson (lol).

The vibe of the song makes me feel like I’m going to lose my mind—like, is this kind of interpretation even allowed? But it might be recommended for those who don’t have a partner (lol).
