Unkillable Monster

yeah, they're correct. i have the lyric booklet.

bitch

The part about being a tightrope walker reminds me of the first part of Thus Spoke Zarathustra by Nietzsche. Look it up if you're not familiar with it. Basically, the "tightrope walker" is used as a metaphor in the book where a jester (who is similar to Zarathustra) is able to leap over a man walking on a tightrope, where the rope is symbolic for man being the bridge to the Ubermensch. When the jester leaps over the man, the man falls to his death. It's like a parable. Zarathustra's goal is to lead man to reach his true potential as a species, to evolve into a better race. Zarathustra is urging man to hurry accross the bridge that will lead them to their ultimate supremacy, but in doing so many perish, because the bridge to the Ubermensch is a long and dangerous one, man must be surpassed.

I think it's about trying to end a relationship. About being the one to say goodbye and trying to end everything smoothly without hurting anyone's feelings, because you still love them, but for whatever reasons things just aren't going to work out. You try to give subtle clues that the relationship should end, but she doesn't respond (You refuse to die). You try to push her away, but she still doesn't just stay away. Instead she stays and calls you a monster for treating her this way. He dreams about being able to kill her (not literally, just to be able to make her go) without hurting her (the prettiest death I know). What he means by "my wound is a front door to you" is that his pain only makes her want to stay, because she feels sorry for him and guilty, instead of just leaving and ending his pain. "Am I my own shadow" shows that he is confused and is second guessing himself. The "shadow" is a term in Jungian psychology that refers to your inner, deeper, darker self; the dark side of you. He's saying "maybe I really am a monster, maybe she's right." The rest I think is pretty self explanatory.

kind of reminds me of Long Hard Road out of Hell w/ the "You never said..." part

my opinion dont roast me for it, just what i take from it..

its sung from someone in a relationship, whos been just really screwed up from a relationship and now everynew relationship is just a horrible attempt and hes so fucked up that he ruins it by fighting and heartbreak because thats what he is so used to from his last girl.. she warped his view of a relationship cause he loved her so much and she just turned him into this unlovable monster.

he hates how he has become this unkillable monster for everything is shit because of her and he doesnt know why she weakened him so.

we all have ex's that really fucked with us. and now our relationships can get shitty cause its what were so used too. and we cant make it right.

Hes got emotionaal damage from the past, something he cant help but try to deal with it and possibly attemp to fix it but hes not sure if its worth fixing."are we in love or are we in pain". Hes not very self aware in this song, confused and frustrated.

"How the fuck are we supposed to know When I'm a monster, the way You refuse to die? How the fuck are we supposed to know If we're in love or if in we're pain"

Hes grieving over there relationship..his feelings for her refuse to die...a part of him isn't let him let her go...

Well there is he pain from missing her? or he still in love with her?

"I'm a tightrope walker Can't find my circus And I'm damaged beyond repair Now you're just a coffin of a girl I knew And I'm buried in you"

Hes lost confused... hes damaged hes hurting... he buried his feelings with her... in his coffin...

"Sometimes I dream I'm an exterminating angel A traveling executioner from heaven Sent to give you the prettiest death I know Call the grave and make our reservations"

Well he might have buried his feelings with her but there still there.. so he wish he was an "executioner" to to get rid of them...because he still loves her he wants her funeral to be pretty...because he cant see the bad through his hurt....

"Why is my wound a front door to you? Am I my own shadow? Why is my wound a front door to you? Am I my own shadow? "

Well hes feeling blocked to let her go so it almost like she is standing in the door saying no and hes feeling like he doesnt have the power to let those feeling go so hes his own "shadow"

I think the song is about letting her go and having a hard time doing so..i think its a really pretty song tbh..

Alot of his song are all imagery i think.. there more like poems... that draw a picture..

These lyrics are full of fail. Whoever posted them needs to stop listening to Manson. Now.
