The Love Song Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Akasha 

Cover art for The Love Song lyrics by Marilyn Manson

I'm not certain myself of the meaning, but according to the artist himself, the song is a statement in response to the Columbine tradgedy. His explanation was that the father is the hand, the mother the gun, and the son the bullet. Hence, destruction happens when any of the three parties behave improperly. It shows, then, that Columbine is not his fault, but rather the fault of the parents of the perpetrators, in that they could not discipline the children appropriately, but instead coaxed them on unknowingly.

Note: It has been found that the shooters in the Columbine incident weren't actually Manson fans to begin with. Go figure.
