Marilyn Manson is much like the Edgar Allen Poe of modern music. His songs are all caked with many metaphors and such. His songs, his albums, and his overall message that he sends to the world are meant to be understood on an extremely esoteric level. He only wants people who are philosophically alike to him to understand him.
I won't analyze all the meanings of the lyrics to this song but I will tell you some: This song is about the evils of conformism foremost, and the evils of Hollywood, for lack of a better word. This song is a message to Hollywood and to the rest of the world who aren't like, who said he could never surive without being like them, without being perfect. This song is, in my opinion, the antithesis of his song New Model No. 15. In this song, (s)Ain't he lashes out that he is true perfection, by the fact that he is unique and different than anyone. He is perfekt. This is a "fuck you" song, its not that deep really. I've given you enough infro to lsightly understand, I'll leave it at that. You figure out the rest.
I want to also state that what he shows us in the clip is exactly this and nothing more, and this is what he said it was: It shows that fame and power, being a rock superstar that is, isn't all glamour and wonderful, that it can also be a bitch.
