Light a candle for the sinners
Set the world on fire

Anti choice and anti girl
I am the anti-flag unfurled
Anti white and anti man
I got the anti-future plan
Anti fascist, anti mod
I am the anti-music god
Anti sober, anti whore
never be enough of anti more

I can't believe in the things that don't believe in me
Now, it's your turn to see what I hate about me

Anti people, now you've gone too far
Here's your Antichrist Superstar

Anti money, anti hate
Anti things I fucked and ate
Anti cop and anti fun
Here is my anti-President gun
Anti Satan, anti black
The anti world is on my back
Anti gay and anti dope
I am the faggot anti-Pope

I can't believe in the things that don't believe in me
Now, it's your turn to see what I hate about me

Anti people, now you've gone too far
Antichrist Superstar
Anti people, now you've gone too far
Here's your Antichrist Superstar

This is where your faith ends
1996, 1996, 1996, 1996

Anti peace and anti life
Anti husband, anti wife
Anti song and anti me
I don't deserve a chance to be

Anti people, now you've gone too far
Antichrist Superstar
Anti people, now you've gone too far
Here's your Antichrist Superstar

    the confusion was on purpose. 1996 and ACSS were intended to be fundamentally linked, that is to say, they are two halves to one song. A big part of manson's image is the fact that he is enigmatic in many ways. he intentionally makes most of his music difficult to understand, so that his underlying message reaches the people willing to listen to him with out bias, and as a bonus, the people who judge him at face value get more pissed off with him, which is what he has wanted all along.

Both as a standalone and as part of the DSOTS album, you can take this lyric as read. As a matter of public record, Jourgensen's drug intake was legendary even in the 1980s. By the late 90s, in his own words, he was grappling with massive addiction issues and had lost almost everything: friends, spouse, money and had nearly died more than once. "Dark Side of the Spoon" is a both funny & sad title for an album made by a musical genius who was losing the plot; and this song is a message to his fans & friends saying he knows it. It's painful to listen to so I'm glad the "Keith Richards of industrial metals" wised up and cleaned up. Well done sir.

Fortnight
Taylor Swift
The song 'Fortnight' by Taylor Swift and Post Malone tells a story about strong feelings, complicated relationships, and secret wishes. It talks about love, betrayal, and wanting someone who doesn't feel the same. The word 'fortnight' shows short-lived happiness and guilty pleasures, leading to sadness. It shows how messy relationships can be and the results of hiding emotions. “I was supposed to be sent away / But they forgot to come and get me,” she kickstarts the song in the first verse with lines suggesting an admission to a hospital for people with mental illnesses. She goes in the verse admitting her lover is the reason why she is like this. In the chorus, she sings about their time in love and reflects on how he has now settled with someone else. “I took the miracle move-on drug, the effects were temporary / And I love you, it’s ruining my life,” on the second verse she details her struggles to forget about him and the negative effects of her failure. “Thought of callin’ ya, but you won’t pick up / ‘Nother fortnight lost in America,” Post Malone sings in the outro.
