I had a dreamThis one I feel the need to mentionI was happy for awhileAnd I stopped being scared and ashamedTo say what’s on my mindBut you thought I’d change after awhileAnd said “you’d better treat me different or else”“Or else” seems like a stupid fucking thing to say to someone like meSomeone like meWow, wow, wowWow-wow-wow-wow-wow-wow-wow-wow…Don’t be surprised I can look you in the eyeIt’s hard to take you serious when you take me insideDon’t be surprised I can look you in the eyeIt’s hard to take you serious when you take me insideI’m worseThan what you think you’d catch from meComplicated’s understatedDid you stop and take a look at who you fell in love with?At who you fell in love withIt doesn’t matterHow many times I say itIt never gets oldThat’s why I have to sayWow, wow, wowWow-wow-wow-wow-wow-wow-wow-wow…It doesn’t matter if you’re going to come or just goingI never wanted you to come here anywayThere’s a word that’s like youBecause it can be a noun, a verb, a exclamation, or the thing I sayWhen something is unbelievableWhen I’m not able to believe how unbelievably unbelievableThat you believe you could not be leave-ableThat’s when I have to sayWow, wow, wowWow-wow-wow-wow-wow-wow-wow-wow…It doesn’t matterHow many times I say itIt never gets oldThat’s why I have to sayWow.
"I understand that you hear the first half as angry, I guess maybe I should look at it in a different way. I hear the second half of the record as threatening. The first half of the record is kind of angry, but it's bitter and it's weak and it's uncertain, which is where anger comes from, which is not where threatening comes from. There's a confidence that starts to rebuild itself, and I think that it starts right about the point of "WOW." That song sticks out to me enough that I got it tattooed on my wrist. I wanted to do a song that was everything that I had to remember represented who I am and why I started this in the first place.
It's funny to me because the first time I played the song, without any singing on it, because the music is so absurd. We just started recording it and I refused to let anybody try and do what they're supposed to do. I said, "Just hit record." I made Twiggy play keyboards, and I started playing guitar with one string on it, and I had a microphone and we got done and the first thing we said was "Wow." Well that's what it is. It's like the "Macarena" of nonsense and confusion, and it really represents something that we always strive to accomplish." - Marilyn Manson
