| This is an...interesting song, to be sure, but I agree with Covet. Rasputina sings it better. Fem vocals = win | |

| Is it me or have all these opinions just turned into one big bitch? ;) I love this song, its beautiful. I also really adore the rasputina version, which I used to prefer,but now I think this is the one for me! I think this is about a relationship going stale. You hear about people falling out of love all the time and their partners know it, but they keep going for their own sakes. In the end it has to finish though. I also think this may be about the first time someone falls in love and that happens to them. | |

| Anyone who read Manson's book, The Long Hard Road Out of Hell, would know that the song's about one of his apocalyptic nightmares and his continual sense of betrayal in relationships. Also the lines should not include always, as he sings "But flies will lay their eggs" very clearly in the song. | |

| Um.... ...hmmm... Rasputina's version is... umm... not good... in my opinion. Sorry. Musically they put an interesting twist on it but... weak, spoken-word vocals can't convey the same emotion as Marilyn Manson's under-praised pipes. | |
