A Place In The Dirt Lyrics
We are damned and we are dead
all god's children to be sent
to our perfect place in the sun
and in the dirt
There's a windshield in my heart
we are bugs so smeared and scarred
and could you stop the meat from thinking
before I swallow all of it,
could you please?
Put me in the motorcade
put me in the death parade
dress me up and take me
dress me up and make me
your dying god
angels with needles
poked through our eyes
let the ugly light
of the world in
we were no longer blind
we were no longer blind
Put me in the motorcade
put me in the death parade
dress me up and take me
dress me up and make me
your dying god
Now we hold the "ugly head"
the Mary-whore is at the bed
They've cast the shadow of our perfect death
in the sun and in the dirt.
all god's children to be sent
to our perfect place in the sun
and in the dirt
we are bugs so smeared and scarred
and could you stop the meat from thinking
before I swallow all of it,
could you please?
put me in the death parade
dress me up and take me
dress me up and make me
your dying god
poked through our eyes
let the ugly light
of the world in
we were no longer blind
we were no longer blind
put me in the death parade
dress me up and take me
dress me up and make me
your dying god
the Mary-whore is at the bed
They've cast the shadow of our perfect death
in the sun and in the dirt.

hmmm...i think this song is about jfk's death...and the line " a place in the sun and the dirt" means that we go to "heaven" (sun) and we're buried...i really like the line " angels with needles...poked through our eyes...let the ugly light of the world in..." i think it means some sort of "benevolent" creature/or whatever let us see what the world is and letting us see our own mortality...maybe the "angel" is acid...lol
The dirt line is saying that there is no real afterlife in heaven, I think. Life ends with death.
The needle's could either refer to drug use or just a very small halo (i.e., Target Audience, "and my halo was a needle hole) signifying a small amount of morality, or a cruel angel.
Existentialism smells good at Five in the Morning
HOLY WOOD isnt just about JFK. its about JFK, Abraham Lincoln, Christ, The Columbine shooting, and the concept of all of them fitting into human nature its self. and its the final chapter in the Antichrist trilogy consisting of Antichrist Superstar, Mechanical Animals, and HOLY WOOD, mixed together in a certain order to where they tell a very clear story. heres a link to all the details of the ACT http://chiburi.home.mindspring.com/ac_trilogy/
this song is written for us to know that when we die, we are burried in a perfect place in the sun. all the darkness of life is then no more. in the end people forget about the dead, so the shadow of memories remains over our grave in the sun in the dirt.
i think its about how we arent perfect or good and how fucked death and life really is.
no satan in blue!dont do that...this gal is a liar!
I'm not sure if I really put much faith in this interpretation, but I should at least put it forth, ne? ^^ On the Mary-whore lyric...there was another Mary in the Bible that was quite close to Jesus: Mary Magdalen, a prostitute. It could possibly refer to that Mary instead of Madonna Virgin Mary. shrugs
This song is about the death of JFK.
"Put me in the motorcade put me in the death parade dress me up and take me dress me up and make me your dying god"
Reminds me of the Coma White video... I don't know much about the death of JFK, or politics in general, but it seems like the American people made him into some kind of martyr when he was asassinated. This seems to be a theme in "Holy Wood".
