| I can't help but look at this song and feel that there's sort of an anti-drug idea being posited. I suppose I'm committing falacy by presupposing that the media is "bad", but arguably that's what Manson has conveyed by pointing out the shallow aspects of it (For intsance "They love you when you're on all the covers", "There's lots of pretty, pretty ones", "We love... so shallow"). He then goes on to call it the "dope show", which has several meanings. Literarily, this is known as a double entendre (entente). In our language, dope generally refers to drugs, but archaically it is a person incapable of rational thought, which plays upon this idea of the shallow media. A tie in now occurs with both meanings of the word. Those who are famous for drug use tend to be those who are famous, and those that are idolized. Out of the thoughtless glitz and glam we derive molded drug users, since all the pretty pretty ones want to get us high. The shame of it is, however, that ultimately we are left low, and our minds are blown. That is why I say it is more anti-drug than anything else. It's critical of those who follow the media, particularly those who gain ideas of rebellion through it by following negative media. Granted Manson himself is a self proclaimed drug user, however he attempts to be objective, and I would imagine can be just as critical of himself as any other human being. But that's just what I think. | |

| A dope show used to be a traveling freakshow or something of the like. It could mean that stars today are paraded around like freaks on TV, and we just have to know all about their personal life. And "To swim you have to swollow," abviously refers to a sexual act (I think you can guess which one) and how people get what they want by pleasing others, sexual or not. | |
