I can't interpret this song anymore because everyone's got basically my ideas.
But the whole
"Today I am dirty
I want to be pretty"
Thing means, maybe the outcast [obv Dyl & Eric in this case] wanted to be seen as something more than disgusting dirty vermin, and that the "pretty" thing was idk.. Being treated equally? But tomorrow it'll be the same.
"We are the nobodies
we wanna be somebodies
when we're dead,
they'll know just who we are"
Like most say, nobody notices you until you're dead.
"Yesterday I was dirty
wanted to be pretty
I know now that I'm forever dirt"
Yesterday I was an outcast, who wanted to be looked at differently, like something pretty, but I know that that's never going to change.
"Some children died the other day
we fed machines and then we prayed
puked up and down in morbid faith
you should have seen the ratings that day"
That's going along with feeding your stories to the media about the Columbine thing [or any school shooting for that example] They fed the media, they prayed for a difference and they're only doing that being of the killings. "Morbid faith" might mean only praying to whatever god there is when someone is killed.
Idk, it's really late here and my head's a bit jihdfdsljdhkus but yeah. This remains to single handedly be the best Manson song in existence for me. He's been my hero since I was 9 years of age, and I can proudly say that.
