| hmmm...i think this song is about jfk's death...and the line " a place in the sun and the dirt" means that we go to "heaven" (sun) and we're buried...i really like the line " angels with needles...poked through our eyes...let the ugly light of the world in..." i think it means some sort of "benevolent" creature/or whatever let us see what the world is and letting us see our own mortality...maybe the "angel" is acid...*lol* | |

| I'm not sure if I really put much faith in this interpretation, but I should at least put it forth, ne? ^^ On the Mary-whore lyric...there was another Mary in the Bible that was quite close to Jesus: Mary Magdalen, a prostitute. It could possibly refer to that Mary instead of Madonna Virgin Mary. *shrugs* | |

| woopty doo, then go listen to backsweat boys. though im not the greatest manson fan, and i dont know much about his stuff, i do know that he is one of the most intelligent people you can find nowadays in that flood of shit called 'media'. what you might mean is that for some strange reason he seems to deliberately avoid being seen that way... but that doesnt mean he's just mindlessly parading around. that is just the surface. now some ideas about the song... so you guys are saying its about JFK, and that kinda triggered a line of thoughts in me, which could just as well be a bunch of nonsense, but i just thought i'd share it with you. the "windshield in my heart" is america (US). he is the president, leader of the nation who has to consider the interests of his country above all else, sometimes sacrificing the good of a few individuals, and even his own needs as a person (like working with his health problems and all), so we (viewing himself as one of 'us' now), the "bugs" get smeared on the windshield. "stop the meat from thinking before I swallow all of it" - to dull the people and make them blind to the shit that's really going on, so that america ('I' now refers to him as the leader again) can 'swallow' the world. the "put me in the motorcade" part is pretty obvious. then "angels with needles poked through our eyes" - the guy who shot him could be seen as an angel of death, and since he says angels, the others may be who hired the assassin guy, or just simply the angels of death, malice, the anger and destructive instinct of man. the needle would be the bullet (snipers use longish, needle-like bullets), or metaphorical needles of the wishes for his death, kinda like needles in an imaginary voodoo doll. and since its "our eyes", the whole thing affected the people too, "let the ugly light of the world in" into his skull, and the sad truth into the people's minds, making them see ("we were no longer blind") that even the most powerful man on earth is merely human and can be killed, and also that even he (now symbolizing the nation) is not almighty and protected from everything (he is not god). the "ugly head"... if you've ever seen a guy's head blown apart by a sniper rifle, you know it's not a pretty sight. the "Mary-whore"... his wife..? since he was kinda lookin like god, that could refer to the first lady "at the bed" - beside his body in the car, at his grave, whatever. "perfect death in the sun and in the dirt" - he was on the top of the world ("in the sun") but as a mere human he ended up "in the dirt". "they've casted the shadow" - you're next. LoL. well, something like that. i guess its about the US again. atreiu. i dont know shit about the whole thing, but i could come up with this ^. i think the guy could tell you more about his messages and stories. and garbage is an awesome band, by the way. well... im not american, not a christian, i dont know much about politics and JFK, or about manson himself for that matter. so as i said this might be a load of crap, but i thought it was interesting. i had fun anyway. :) | |

| Mansons lyrics never have one true meaning , the majority has alot of reference to the simplicity of death. | |
