"Putting Holes in Happiness" - Marilyn Manson song title I chose these lyrics mainly because they spoke to me. This song has been one of my favorite since my father has shown it to me back in 2007. I still make a connection to my family; for that is what the song, even thoguht it is grotesque, reminds me of. When my family had split up, I was torn. My brother was going to live with my mom, my older sister was planning on moving out and it left me to decide where I wanted to go. Making a child choose between their mother or their dad isn't fair to either the parents or the child, but I was forced to choose. "Putting holes in Happiness" to me is having a family split up.
