| Marilyn Manson – Hey, Cruel World... Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
What's taken my main interest in this song is the phrase: "Creator, preserver, destroyer. Ask which one I am." In my quick Internet search I've already seen many wild theories about it. I've got a theory of my own though, and it is very simple: May it be that this is referring to parts of the believe system of the Hindus? After all there is the 'Great Trinity' of the gods Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva, that represents creation, preservation, destruction with each god representing the respective function. Therefore: Brahma, Vishnu, Shiva = Creator, preserver, destroyer. I do not know however what function this reference has in the song. But then again, interpretation of any art, from song to painting, is something that I find difficult anyhow as the awareness of being unable to truly see into its creators mind makes me shy of drawing any definite conclusions. |
