He reuses the verse melody from the previous album's "Dirty Little Religion", the topics of the verses are all over the place, and he packs too many words into one line (goes to show...) and too few in another (it's pretty hard to find), and rhymes "Henley Regatta" with "Persona non grata", but gets away with it all as only he could.
I'm as fake as a wedding cake
And I'm vague and I know that I'm homopolitan
Pitifully predictable
Correctly political
I'm the new, I'm the new, new model
I've got nothing inside
Better in the head and in bed
At the office
I can suck it and smile
New, new, new model
New, new, new model
I can choke and diet on coke
I'm spun and I know that I'm stoned and rolling
Lifelike and poseable
Hopeless and disposable
I'm the new, I'm the new, new model
I've got nothing inside
Better in the head and in bed
At the office
I can suck it and smile
New, new, new model

Don't let them know how far you go
Or that you use your "lovers"
Oh look, you're like a vcr
Stick something in to know just who you are
I'm the new, I'm the new, new model
I've got nothing inside
Better in the head and in bed

This song is def a twin to "Unfair" (a song she has been quoted as saying is about falling in love with someone who is already in a relationship) so it is presumably about the same person. Given the references to buying an apartment and not being able to see her love interest "after tonight," it's most likely that she's moving away and she'll "wait a day to break the bad news" (i.e. notifying him that she's leaving once she's already gone).
And, of course, the fact that she sees in him a fellow "idealist" and "dreamer" (terms commonly given to people with the INFP personality on the Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)) portends that she'll always be left wondering if they would've been perfect together.

In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
Majority of you are all incredibly wrong lol.. it is late so i will keep this short
the whole concept of the album is about evan, why would this song be about dita? lol.. manson has stated this in interviews and spoken directly about this song. it can be interpreted as if you choose, but literally has NO relation with religion/god what so ever.
'15', as mentioned.. is from his birthday 1/5. Hence 'but today is my birthday'. As the break up happened late last year and this album started being recorded at the beginning of this year... it probably was in fact written on his birthday lol, but im only guessing. The basis of '15' being a reoccuring theme throughout MA was because of the criticism and attention Manson received from a guy recieting The reflecting god lyrics in his suicide note (track 15 on AS - the album before MA)
He has said the album is about overcoming the pain and anguish of the break up, finding happiness after falling from grace. He credits this song to saving his life as it is the time he stopped looking back and moved forward. 'yestrday everything i thought i believed in died... BUT today is my birthday' - moving on and finding something to be happy over. he has also said each song is played in the order thy were written closing lines of track 1. 'and ill love you if you wont make me stop' closing lines of this track. 'not letting you win wont satisfy me. ill teach you about loss'
long story short, he credits this song as the most important because he stopped trying to change the past and started looking forward.
For anyone that actually cares or intends to understand Mansons work instead of trying to break down each and every one of his lines to make wrong conclusions. nachtkabarett.com Whilst SOME of his work in the last 2 albums are a bit of an exception as they are based on his emotional dealings over females/relationships... Barely ANY of his work is intended to be brokn down and interpreted literally word for word. He thrives off the media and stupid people who do as his whole career has been based on negative media attention.... all the people who think an album like MA is about drug use.... haha
Thank you for setting things straight, I agree the portion of these comments are rather incorrect. However a lot of them are true at the same time. Manson is his own indevidual, while the antichrist idea was a very interesting interpretation, I think he's grown far beyond that. That album came out 14 years ago, that's a long time to change a man's perspectives. I don't think this song was even slightly about god what so ever. The idea of the number 15 does refer to his birthday (just like in the song.) and, as another person said, manson is a satanist, a LaVeyan Satanist but a satanist none the less. For anyone who knows much about satanic holidays, ones own birthday is to be celibrated in the highest of ways. It wouldnt surprise me if the lyrics "Yesterday everything I thought I believed in died, but today is my birthday" refered to the fact that he'd jsut been devorced, but he's finally gotten over it. The song continues to say "I don't need you, I'll say it to myself." This makes me almost certain that he's speaking directly to his ex-wife. As it continues, he says "Anyone with half a soul will hear then and they'll never leave me." When he said that, I believe he implies that his ex-wife had no soul, in his eyes, atleast.In regards to the rest of the song, well, I'd love to continue, but unfortunately I think I've already made far too large of a wall of text. For all of you who were interested enough to read this far into my response, I thank you.
