| I agree with residential evil the song is about a girls drug addiction and how she is dilluding herself | |

| Speaking of how Omega and Alpha's parts are interrelated...if we're doing this the same way as Ziggy Stardust, when we could just say that Omega's growing bitterness with the world and with the evil exploitation of the corporate music industry is analogous to Alpha's (assuming the Alpha exists) growing love/infatuation with Coma White, and his dependance upon her. In the end, each of their lives essentially end in the climax of the album, but they die in very different ways, one through the eternal loss of Coma White, the other through...emotional resignation to the world in "Fundamentally Loathesome" (or is "The Last Day On Earth" an Omega song? I think I remember a reference to Coma White, which leads to Alpha, but I'm too lazy to check for certain). Anyway, this all fits in with the way that the Rise and Fall of Ziggy is analogous to the death of the earth in Bowie's album. The candle burns brightest just before it is snuffed out. | |

| I love this song. It's by far my favourite MM song. MP3's ripped from my Mechanical Amimals CD are often blasting through my headphones at work... the things one does to pass the time of day... | |

| i think this song is about some one not just a girl that has turned to drugs as a way out and is finding out that drugs don't make it all go away | |
