Man That You Fear is a promotional-only single off of Marilyn Manson's second studio album, Antichrist Superstar, and is the final song on the album. It is a very gentle song, comparable to Coma White on Mechanical Animals. It is a reflection by Manson on his career, his past, and his critics, as well as a commentary on how "sweet and innocent" children often grow up to become what their parents and peers have feared. On the album version, the final two minutes repeat the phrase "When all of your wishes are granted, many of your dreams will be destroyed."
A music video was made for the song where Manson plays a trailer park resident picked at random to be stoned to death (a reference to the Shirley Jackson short story The Lottery).
[edit] Music Video
In the music video, directed by Wiz, Manson portrays a man who is condemned to die. He is "chosen" by a blindfolded child who spins around pointing her finger. When she stops spinning, she removed the blindfold and sees the trailer home that she is pointing to — the condemned's home. The video features all events of his last day on earth, leading up to his death by stoning in an isolated location of the desert. It is oddly reminiscent of Shirley Jackson's short story The Lottery.
