This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
When all your demons die
Even if just one survives
I will still be here to hold you
No matter how cold you are
No matter how cold you are
I see the terror in your teardrop
Take your belief make it snow, let go
And wait together until we thaw
I don't wanna be another bullet hole
In the exit sign on your road
I don't wanna be another bullet hole
In the exit sign on your road
Just smile like a rifle
Hard metal in the setting sun
Just smile like a rifle
Hard metal in the setting sun
I was invited to eat the young
I was invited to eat the young
Starting, possession, symbolic firearms
In the bottomless celebrity scar
Starting, possession, symbolic firearms
In the bottomless celebrity scar
I don't wanna be another bullet hole
In the exit sign on your road
I don't wanna be another bullet hole
In the exit sign on your road
So just smile like a rifle
Hard metal in the setting sun
Just smile like a rifle
Hard metal in the setting sun
I was invited to eat the young
I was invited to eat the young
By the roadside, all the bones they clean
Dump gas in our machine
I will still be here to hold you
No matter how cold you are
No matter how cold you are
Cast out now, no fire to smell
Earth ain't up but sunk it even though my God
It seems like Saturnalia
Sat, sat, sat, sat, sat Saturnalia
Sat, sat, sat, sat, sat Saturnalia
There's no exit planet
No emergency room in this tomb
And it's door only opens one way
There's no exit planet
No emergency room in this tomb
And it's door only opens one way
Sat, sat, sat, sat, sat Saturnalia
Sat, sat, sat, sat, sat Saturnalia
Sat, sat, sat, sat, sat Saturnalia
We're blinded by blackness
We're just empty shells
In the deafening void of our last sunset
We're blinded by blackness
Just empty shells
In the deafening void of our last sunset
Even if just one survives
I will still be here to hold you
No matter how cold you are
No matter how cold you are
I see the terror in your teardrop
Take your belief make it snow, let go
And wait together until we thaw
I don't wanna be another bullet hole
In the exit sign on your road
I don't wanna be another bullet hole
In the exit sign on your road
Just smile like a rifle
Hard metal in the setting sun
Just smile like a rifle
Hard metal in the setting sun
I was invited to eat the young
I was invited to eat the young
Starting, possession, symbolic firearms
In the bottomless celebrity scar
Starting, possession, symbolic firearms
In the bottomless celebrity scar
I don't wanna be another bullet hole
In the exit sign on your road
I don't wanna be another bullet hole
In the exit sign on your road
So just smile like a rifle
Hard metal in the setting sun
Just smile like a rifle
Hard metal in the setting sun
I was invited to eat the young
I was invited to eat the young
By the roadside, all the bones they clean
Dump gas in our machine
I will still be here to hold you
No matter how cold you are
No matter how cold you are
Cast out now, no fire to smell
Earth ain't up but sunk it even though my God
It seems like Saturnalia
Sat, sat, sat, sat, sat Saturnalia
Sat, sat, sat, sat, sat Saturnalia
There's no exit planet
No emergency room in this tomb
And it's door only opens one way
There's no exit planet
No emergency room in this tomb
And it's door only opens one way
Sat, sat, sat, sat, sat Saturnalia
Sat, sat, sat, sat, sat Saturnalia
Sat, sat, sat, sat, sat Saturnalia
We're blinded by blackness
We're just empty shells
In the deafening void of our last sunset
We're blinded by blackness
Just empty shells
In the deafening void of our last sunset

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
The album was a dedication to his deceased parents. Saturnalia was more than likely written about his father.
@locanoel71 <br /> <br /> while I can see where you draw the father son connection (Saturn ate his son(s), I do not think this song was specifically written about his father. His father had not passed away when the song was written and Manson has said that he really did not know just how sick his father was. But ultimately, the song definitely ties into his relatiinship with his father and his fathers passing, after the fact.<br /> <br /> In the song Manson sings "I was invited to eat the young", putting himself in Saturn's (the fathers) position. By putting himself in Saturn's position, he is, once again, portraying himself (or the character within the story) as one of the many incarnations of Satan.<br /> <br /> As much of Manson work, this song can be interpreted in many ways and has many layers and comcepts of meaning ranging from simplicity to the most complex.<br /> <br /> A good place to start is researching into what is the saturnalia, why and how it originated, and the significance of Saturn.<br /> <br /> The song is adherent and ties into to the overall main themes that span the entire album, two of which are Satan (The album was set to be titled Say10, but was later changed to heaven upside down) the title, Heaven upside down, first and foremost, is indicative of another strong theme that runs throughout the album - that of being in a state of reversal, backward, or, obviously, upside down.<br /> <br /> The concept of Satan within the song, Saturnalia, is implied via Satan's association with Saturn throughout history, within both myth and various religions. Some believe that the planet Saturn is literally Satan incarnate. But of course Satan's association with Saturn in most cases is symbolic, myth, and allegory. <br /> <br /> A few notes on Satans association with saturn... Satan and Saturn are literally the same word. One is early Latin, one late latin. Also, Satur is the goat-legged half man half goat 'deity' headed by Pan (a representation of satan) sometimes spelt 'satyr' in English.The Oxford dictionary identifies it as 'Saturos' in Greek. The Saturs and their leader Pan are also known as "Goat-gods".<br /> <br /> Just Google Satan and Saturn and you will be overwhelmed with the information provided about Satan's association with Saturn throughout history, which is very interesting.<br /> <br /> (Please aee future posts for my explanation of how "being in a state of reversal, is a main theme within this song, the origin of the saturnalia, along with whatever other words I may come up with lol)
This is either Manson's confession or his exposee on the Hollywood child trafficking (see Pizzagate and Adrenochrome in Hollywood). The celebrity religion of Saturn ("my god"), invited to eat the young, the bottomless celebrity scar...
To me, it seems like Manson is/was in a relationship or good friendship with someone, and there was a discrepancy in the relationship about the morality of ingesting child-sourced adrenochrome, for which I think 'sunsets' in this song is a codeword, and the hard metal is the needle. It sounds like one of them is scarred by the practice (terror in the teardrop), and possibly that they need other drugs to cope with the reality ("make it snow"). "No matter how cold you are" either means the person is the evil one, or they have gone cold in the relationship after finding out the truth. The 'smile like a rifle' probably means they try to cope/pretend with a smile, but there is the very real threat of them 'triggering' to do something, like go out and tell people the truth. "Cast out now, no fire to smell" probably means a person has been banned from the Saturn religion, and can no longer be a part of the cultish practices.
The rest of the song seems to talk about the world ending or changing drastically, which has links with this elite circle.
@Warholkolic Adding to this, I think 'I don't wanna be another bullet hole<br /> In the exit sign on your road' means he doesn't want to be one of the people kicking the friend/lover out, because they probably have to kill them to keep the secret. The exit sign on their road is death -- where they get off the 'high way'. Him being another bullet hole is working with the others to kill the friend/lover, and he doesn't want to do it but he knows he must to protect their inner circle. <br /> <br /> The deafening void of the sunset is the withdrawal from their favourite drug. And they feel like empty shells without it.
