Deep Six Lyrics
You wanna know what Zeus said to Narcissus
You'd betta watch yourself
You wanna know what Zeus said to Narcissus
You'd better watch yourself
You'd better watch yourself
It's like a stranger had a key, came inside of my mind
And moved all my things around
He didn't know snakes can hear the prey
Can't try to break the psyche down
Yeah
It's as if my feathers were wax
And your artillery lead
Do you like our bed
Do you like our bed
Deep 6, 6, 6 feet deep
Deep 6, 6, 6 feet deep
It's like a stranger had a key, came inside of my mind
And moved all my things around
He didn't know snakes can hear the prey
Can't try to break my psyche down
It's in my half frozen wax
And your artillery lead
Do ya like our bed
Do ya like our bed
It's in my half-frozen wax
And your artillery lead
Do you like our bed
Do you like our bed
Deep 6, 6, 6 feet deep
Deep 6, 6, 6 feet deep
Yeah
You wanna know what Zeus said to Narcissus
You'd better watch yourself
Wanna know what Zeus said to Narcissus
You'd better watch yourself
You'd better watch yourself better watch yourself

"you wanna know what Zeus said to Narcissus," you'd better watch yourself" refers to Greek mythology. When Narcissus looked at his reflection in the water, he fell in love with himself, so he went into the water and drowned. This is where the term, narcissist/narcissism comes from.
Great comeback by manson
That's how I understand the lyrics
It is a perfect description of a narcissistic attack on a trained empath. (The comparison with the serpent for the empath results from the perception of the uneducated outside world via the empath, which he uses ironically). The narcissist tries to twist your thinking, your emotional life. Everything is twisted. The whole life of a narcissist turns things around. Love is evil (to be). Crime is trust in others (I trust your naivety) and the distorted idea that cheating is a gift (I cheat on you, so I trust you). Just as the thinking that cheated on people did not want it otherwise. Ergo, it is legitimate. It's just about control. Eros is a compensator for anger. And when I commit a sin, it's pure sincerity ... "I'm so authentic."
"As if my Feathers were wax". This is also a perfect description of the feeling you have when you have a relationship with a narcissist. Every lightness disappears from your life. Self doubt lies like stones on your neck. As if you were pressed by an invisible force to the ground / sucked. It slowly drains you of all creativity and self-confidence. The only people who can and should oppose a narcissist (but only if they have to because it is still dangerous) are empaths that are solid and stable in themselves. They are virtually unable to crawl and deny the signs of sick narcissism. And they can fight back hard. They are the nightmare of a narcissist, because they have the ability and sometimes the weapons to unmask a narcissist.
"Dou you like our bed. Six deep feed" is a metaphor for what a narcissistic attack always means. After the only form of love the narcissist knows, the perfect control to satisfy all his needs, the perfect destruction takes place. The narcissist is only satisfied if all aspects of your personality are so weakened that they enter self-destruct mode. Not least, they try to achieve this through sexual atrraction.
"You should take better care of yourself". That's a funny quote. Because it is a paradoxical warning. The narcissist can do nothing but look at himself. I doubt a narcissist can understand this warning. He takes them, as in the story with Zeus, completely literally. Zeus knows that. A good example of someone who has wondered how legitimate it is to beat the narcissist with unfair means, especially if you are an empath (They have high moral standarts).

@Morphelia / Myself. NOT "You should better take care of yourself". It's "You better watch yourself". Sorry.^^ Translation Problem.

@Morphelia You absolutely nailed it

@Morphelia sorry to tell you this but this song means NONE of that bullshit. It was a bet he could write a song without using the word “the” in the lyrics. That’s it. Nice evaluation though!! Gosh!!

@RocknRo Nice example of what @Morphelia was talking about i.e. flipping the script on someone saying something thoughtful and well discerned and somehow twisting that into a fault or weakness. lol I guess...

Lemme see if I got this 'correct' (a fav Narc word, in my experience): So, all those other words in the song don't mean anything other than merely avoiding the word "the"?

OH WELL.
Lyrics should probably say "love is evol." Compare to the Marshall McLuhen quote below:
"Let's remind them that LOVE, replayed in reverse, is EVOL---transposing into EVIL and VILE. LIVE spells backward into EVIL, while EROS reverses into SORE. And, we should never forget the SIN in SINCERE or the CON in CONFIDENCE."
Professor Marshall McLuhan - University of Toronto Commenting in the book Subliminal Seduction
"It's in my half frozen wax"
Negative.
"It's as though my feathers are wax"
I guess I'm not able to edit my own posts on here... it should be "as if my feathers are wax..."

In Greek mythology, the beautiful half-god Narcissus falls in love with his own reflection. Zeus is the highest god in Greek mythology. "You better watch yourself" refers to the idea of being your own god, just like the line "I went to god just to see, and I was looking at me" in "The Reflecting God".
For me it's explaining about being retrospective about all deep sides of conscious of our minds, in some level everyone have a bit of narcissism. And sometimes something happens that change how is he in character, and probably the narcissism goes up up and becomes more arrogant and sick.
You guys all know that he had a bet he could write a song without using “the” in the words - that’s really all the meaning there is to this song, sorry to tell y’all. Also whoever wrote the lyrics here I have no idea why you would think he says something about half frozen wax. As others have pointed out, the words are “It’s as if my feathers were wax - and your artillery lead”. GREAT SONG ONE OF MY FAVES BY MANSON!!!
It's like Jewellfire said. I just wanted to add that it's most his interpretation why his love life is shit and why he can't love god or anything else but himself. His love for himself is killing him. Poetic as ever.
I wonder if Manson is as bad as Savile being in the same cult?

@Alfieinbed Your question asking if he’s in the same cult as that evil pedo mother fucker is totally uncalled for. If you actually did some research for yourself about Marilyn Manson you would find out he’s atheist. When you listen to his interviews he’s quite a decent clever guy who doesn’t deserve the abuse he gets, yeah he’s over the top most of the time but that’s just his image, Rock n Roll dude
