Cover art for Disengaged lyrics by Marilyn Manson

"And I could look into the crowded morgue of mistakes. The sun stopped its smile and frowned on me, too."

When he looked back into the past, it did nothing but make him miserable.

"My re-built/re-mastered heart is smashed into its faces, and its face is confused."

As he changed from the way he was, he discovered new things about himself and even still in the present discovering himself

"I cut my throat in two. I said 'sorry' to you for being a fool, but I didn’t forgiveness; it was regret--not an apology--it was regret."

He talks about the distant past

Disengaged, you’re with me, against me but the only thing forever is hate."

He has let go of the past, but he knows now what that relationship was about the whole time.

"I forget what I saw before and after that day. I’d trade all I was worth to make myself in to the handsomest gun, and put the diamond bullet into your 404 ERROR face."

All he can remember is one day with her, and he can't really even remember what she looked like; all he knows is that he was in love with her and he may have done it differently

"And I’m an event everybody knows. You decide if you can live or you decide to let someone decide for you."

Everyone knows what he'd have done, and it was up to her to decide then.

Disregard as it was my first impression on the first day I'd read the lyrics. Should be deleted...
