| Marilyn Manson – Diamonds & Pollen Lyrics | 5 years ago |
| I believe the song is about society (I guess?). Diamonds are a reference to most, if not, of all bees that create diamond shaped (hexagonal) honeycombs (their society) to be the most efficient storage of their collected pollen. So I think as a beehive diamond is maximum efficiency for storing honey, a diamond to us is an expensive and rare gem by demand, not that "God" made it valuable, the people (company/ business) whom horde it create its literal materialistic value. So i interpret diamonds as a root of society's structural values. The 2 interpretations of a diamond put together, right heh? A bee's society depends on the diamond design, allowing it to gain maximum honey- their objective. So then with that said, this song is also about America. American society's structural values. For instance, there is no doubt we've gone into false and never ending wars very recently in American history, maybe since the 80/90s we've been entering oil wars and it escalated in the early 2000s with 9/11. Perhaps that is our diamond (most efficient way) to collect pollen (oil) and get honey (money). However putting them all together fits, that is my interpretation as to what the diamonds and pollen mean. | |
