| Marilyn Manson – The Beautiful People Lyrics | 9 years ago |
|
“The weak ones are there to justify the strong” He’s saying the weak are there to make strong people feel better about themselves. This doesn’t only work in terms of physical strength, but also in terms of ugly and beautiful, poor and rich, and even the non-religious and the religious. For ugly and beautiful, ugly people make beautiful people feel even more beautiful in comparison. Same with poor people, they make the rich feel better and richer in comparison. It’s a little trickier with religion, but it still works… The religious, such as Christians, Jews, Muslims, etc. all feel better about themselves because they feel that the non religious, such as Atheists, Agnostics, and LaVeyan Satanists, are all “going to Hell”. This allows them to feel morally superior, or morally strong, in comparison. |

“I can't decide if you're wearing me out, or wearing me well” He can’t decide if his current girlfriend is not a good fit for him, or if she is a perfect fit. Sometimes this is a hard distinction to make when you love someone. |
