| the only thing I have to say about this is: What the hell are those computer voices saying? Something about dreams being destroyed? | |

| MissVlad's explanation sounds the most likely, but i think darksilver makes a good point about killing things we love. the video shows a trailer park and someone blindfolded and spinning around and pointing to manson's trailer everyone in the park seems to be afraid of him, but he dresses up and everyone follows him to a graveyard. this is definitely the most symbolic of all his videos, and it gives me a really wierd vibe, but i don't completely understand it | |

| The video, now that I've seen it, is extremely well done (I'd say it's even better than Coma White), with the theme of puritanical condemnation of himself on account of modern christians. The symbolism in the very end eludes me, however. | |

| i also noticed similarities with the story "the lottery," in which one person was stoned each year, simply for the sake of tradition. i thought there was a lot of irony in mansons video, especially with the inclusion of children. in the beginning, a child "marked him to die", and a woman was pregnant with (presumably) mansons child. this relates back to the song, especially with the lines "youve poisoned all your children to camouflage your scars" and "all your infants in abortion cribs". | |

| I'd like to say that NO, he did not cut his nuts off... also if anyone is just going to get on here to flame Manson they can fuck off! If you don't like Manson, don't come here. Anyway, I agree that this may be about him becoming god, but my personal opinion is that this is his idea of a first person view of one of the 90's school shooters... just an opinion. Look into it or something. >:o) | |

| oh yeah, and i think the spinning and pointing has something to do with the way people believed you could spot evil and witches in the past | |

| It really is a great song, the lyrics being self-explanatory in many ways. One point that people stumble on: "Are all your infants in abortion cribs?" just refers abortion as in rejection of one's child - not necessarily murder thereof. This is also shown in "Disposable Teens", in that he "survived abortion", and so forth. | |

| I think the whole abortion thing that shows up in so many of his songs is to say 'how dare anyone call HIM evil when they kill their own children'. | |
