Collagen is the most abundant protein found in animals. It is used to reduce wrinkles in the face, through injections. Other products used in plastic surgery also contain animal products. "A preacher with an animal's face" - collagen "In your sexy neon smokescreen lie the supersalesmen (plastic surgeons!) of vanity" "God saves those who save their skin From the bondage that we're in" "I could cut you And remove the sheath of your ignorance" "Bless the eunuch And the Skoptsi" - Both types of people who had their genitals removed in an attempt to become closer to their religious faith. He is showing the contrast between them, and people who have surgery (they are cut to look pretty (a sin?), while the eunuch and the skoptsi did it to take away their sins, or sexual attractiveness) The last few lines also refer to this: "The moment of my de-sexing Cut it Cut it Cut this cancer from my soul Now that I've made it... I'm finally naked... " - The "plastic" culture that surrounds him upsets him, and he's expressing this by suggesting, like the eunuch and the skoptsi, that he'd have his testicals removed to be rid of it. |
