Cover art for Coma White lyrics by Marilyn Manson

Okay, here we go...

Marilyn Manson's music, mainly Holy Wood, Antichrist Superstar, and Mechanical Animals, is one big well-planned metaphor.

  1. Omega is the persona that "Adam," Marilyn Manson, took on when his transformation was complete. Omega means "the end." Omega is this hollow rock star, becoming a "mechanical animal" in the end.
  2. A mechanical animal being the people who depend on drugs, sex, TV, etc. for a fake happiness.
  3. Coma White is a fictional representation of a girl who is the image of perfection, MM's love interest. At the end of Mechanical Animals, he realizes that Coma White doesn't exist, what he had been striving for is a lie.
  4. Also take a look at Coma Black. It ties into the idea of Coma White as well.
