| STOP ARGUEING ABOUT MM ALBUMS! This is not the right place! Everybody has his own opinion about the song and i don't wanna know it, really. You can love or hate MM as long as you write what is this song about. English ain't my native language, so I find it hard to understand all, because i don't know all the meanings of one word. so i would be grateful for help. "All my lilies' mouths are open Like they're begging for dope And hoping Their bitter petal chant" lilies and petal would fit to the "garden-interpretation". but i guess it can't be just about a garden, maybe it's about paradise and having it lost? some of the songs on the album are about II war, so maybe this song has such connections too? someone said it was about society - why then? | |

| i have a few comments to make: 1) To Dagoboy- please don't use gay as a deroggatory word. And everyone is entitled to their own opinion so if someone doesnt agree with what you beleive why are they "gay"? In my opinion, that is wrong. 2) "any TRUE manson fan SHOULD feel disssapointed by this album!" who are you to say wha a "true Manson fan" should and should not like? Although i personally agree with you that the album was a bit of a let down. 3) Does anyone think that Manson is trying to express that he is tired of what he has been and chaning what he is and is standing for? "Im a diamond that is tired of all the faces i've aquired" I think Manson is definatly calming down. | |

| Every one of you is a fucking dumbass! To each his own...you really need to learn to respect each others opinions. Also, people change, BlackDragonsFire, maybe MM got tired of singing about violence and being the "king of suicide" so he decided to try out something new. Any TRUE Manson fan should realize and respect that. Now, I myself liked this album...just not as much as Mechanical Animals or Holy Wood. If anyone thinks otherwise that is fine with me. | |

| Okay think simpler with the chorus "you took my heart and made a spade" well a spade is an upsidedown heart leaking blood "there's still traces, of me in your viens" he feels that though they have seperated he will alwaiz be a part of her no matter what she sais or does (assuming it is a she) as for the verses, pure poetry | |

| You drained my heart, and made a spade. But there's still traces of me in your veins I think this is just a referance to a garden. A bleeding heart is a plant, so it's like someone killied the plant. My second reason for thinking it's about a garden is of "and made a spade." A spade is a gardening tool, a pointy shovel. Also spades in a card deck originate from tarot when theywere originally swords. Swords stad hearts, or cut bleeding ones. And "there's still traces of me in your veins". I think this is his strongest metaphore in the song. From the outside it looks like love and then having it broken, but I thought of it as veins of a plant. The blood (BLEEDING hearts) is contained in the veins. And the lines remind me of poet Fredrich Holderlin, who opened his own veins one day to 'water a rose tree.' | |

| Yes, this song was easily the best on the album. Manson kind of failed to capture that whole berlin, caberet voltaire thing he was going for on this album. but there's always another day, another album, i guess | |
