Insect Pins Lyrics

Lyric discussion by sinslave 

Cover art for Insect Pins lyrics by Marilyn Manson

it sounds like hes talking about self destruction not only pain wise but on a mental/emotional level.a lot of people cause themselves to fail subconsciously and this keeps them lower then they intend to be but in a placid and comfortable state. pins are used to keep insects on display as well which may be talking about how most people who hurt them selves broadcast the hell out of it,also could be a reference to pain being a reminded of being alive or feeling anything at all.the pin may also be a reference to heroin (or any drug) use
