Released on May 20, 2025, God Is A Weapon marks Falling In Reverse’s return following the success of their 2023 album Popular Monster.
It’s their first new single since that record, and it arrives not quietly, but as a sharpened rebuke, setting the tone for their upcoming tour and potential new era.
For fans used to the bombast of Watch the World Burn, this is something darker, slower, and more calculated.
It also marks a collaboration many didn’t see coming but now feels inevitable: Marilyn Manson.
The two had reportedly met months ago—an Instagram photo teased the connection—but no one expected a full-blown duet.
God Is A Weapon by Falling In Reverse explores obsession as a form of worship, blending themes of sin, power, and devotion.
Through provocative religious metaphors and slow-burning production, the song frames love as both a sacred ritual and a destructive force.
The result is a track that fuses two eras of provocation and lets both voices lean into their most unfiltered selves.
“I can’t stop from spinning down the rabbit hole / The deeper that you push, the deeper I will go”
Radke opens with descent-as-devotion. He’s not resisting temptation—he’s practically welcoming it.
There’s no plea for salvation here. This is a man diving headfirst, aware of the fall and seduced by the freefall.
The line is delivered over long, digitally smeared notes that feel almost suspended in space, echoing the disorientation.
“They said that God’s a woman, I’ll worship you the same / ‘Cause all I do is think about saying your name in vain”
This couplet feels less like flirtation and more like religious transgression.
He’s not singing to a lover—he’s elevating them, weaponizing reverence.
The tone carries shades of Nine Inch Nails-style sensual nihilism—dark, reverent, and steeped in gothic intensity.
“You might as well marry me”
The pre-chorus line teeters between obsessive romance and veiled threat.
There’s devotion, yes—but it’s the possessive kind. It reads like a vow and a warning in equal measure.
“My sinful confession / You’re my obsession / If God is a woman, then God is a weapon”
The chorus lands like a liturgical hook turned inside out. The lyrical structure doesn’t just toy with sacred imagery—it explodes it.
Religion, sexuality, and violence are collapsed into one obsessive spiral.
The delivery isn’t shouted, but it doesn’t need to be—the tension builds in the restraint.
Manson takes over the second verse:
“I can’t stop from sinning / My halo’s just a hole / The deeper that I get inside you / The deeper you will fall”
It’s vintage Manson: grotesque, seductive, unapologetic. What could have been a jarring tonal shift actually works because of the pacing.
The beat drags with intention, like it’s carrying a weight. When he mutters, “My halo’s just a hole,” it’s both a punchline and a prophecy.
“Well, I’m a hand grenade / Try to take this ring from me, watch me detonate”
This line, punctuating the second chorus, sounds like a self-own turned battle cry.
Commitment is framed as a death sentence—try to love me, and I’ll blow everything up. It’s darkly comic, theatrical, and classic Radke.
It’s the sonic equivalent of two chaos agents turning obsession into doctrine—a love song wrapped in barbed wire. It’s apt.
What makes God Is A Weapon so compelling isn’t just the goth-glam aesthetic or the eerie video—it’s the emotional blur. Obsession is religion, and religion is warfare.
By the outro, with Radke and Manson chanting, “God is a, God is a, God is a weapon,” it’s no longer metaphor. It’s mantra.
The sound? Industrial meets post-hardcore with sharp metallic edges, but instead of building toward the obvious breakdown, the track crescendos in waves—long breaths, harmonies that feel stretched, like they’re straining under pressure.
This track is the musical equivalent of praying with your fists clenched.
It’s not just a song—it’s a statement. About obsession. About ruin. About how easily reverence becomes destructive.
And how sometimes, you don’t run from the fire—you invite it in, light a candle, and call it holy.
