Man That You Fear "Man That You Fear" is a promotional-only single from Marilyn Manson's second studio album, "Antichrist Superstar", and is the final song on the album. The song is inspired by what Manson had to grow up with and how it turned him into what he is now, a man or monster that people now have grown to fear. The line, "Sticking to my pointy ribs/ Are all your infants in abortion cribs" refers to a story told in "The Long Hard Road Out of Hell" in which Manson as a child found a coffee can with something rotting inside. His mother told him it was discarded meat, but later told him that it was actually an aborted fetus. The song was initially penned during Manson's cousin Chad's wedding ceremony.
