| to me it sounds like that last prayer of a condemed man in some 19th century prison cell particuly the lines "Before the bullets before the flies before authorities take out my eyes" | |

| Most of it is a reference to the JFK assassination, laying the first seeds that become the album. In his view, JFK became a kind of godlike figure following his assassination, with everyone pledging loyalty to JK, etc., but only after his death. (the reference to the black limosine) It compares that in certain lines to the way that, in Manson's view, the views of Christ have also been twisted to represent something very different. (Dear god if you were alive you know we'd kill you) | |

| First let me just say that I agree with a lot of what you said, happylittledemigod. Manson really is a philosopher who should have his work taken more seriously as art and really has something to teach us. Humanity really doesn't realize what a gift they have in Marilyn Manson. However, I don't see what gives you the right to tell people that they're wrong as if somehow you're any authority. These people are trying their best to discuss and find the hidden meaning behind the lyrics and they don't need to be beaten down for trying. What, would you rather they not try and just take it at face value like all the other media goons? Besides, I don't see where you have the authority to say what is right and what is wrong about his lyrics. Are you Manson? No, you're not. So you can't possibly say without a doubt that you know what his lyrics mean. Unless I see a signed letter from Marilyn Manson himself that you've gotten ever single lyric correctly interpreted, then I don't see how you're any better than the rest of us. | |
