Well, the album is divided into two "halves": Marilyn Manson and Omega and the Mechanical Animals. The Manson half, or as Wikipedia calls it, "Alpha", is about all the things wrong in the world from when he falls to earth to when the Omega character, or from the Triptych, Adam, becomes disassociative and like in Holy Wood, kills himself. Meanwhile, Omega's "half" shows the reason for things gone wrong: the celebrities and television.
If you have seen the videos, excluding Rock Is Dead, it shows his crashing to Earth (Dope Show), along with the self-sufficiency of celebrities, it shows how obsessed everyone in this world is with television (Drugs), and Coma White shows not only a prequel to the subject matter of Holy Wood, but the crucifixion of Marilyn F. Kennedy. In this context, it is saying we all have someone who is so influential, they act as a "Messiah", in this case, Omega and his songs about consumption, drugs, and sex.
