I get a very Nietzschean, Anti-Christian-esque vibe off this song.
"We're the low art gloominati
And we aim to depress
The scabaret sacrilegends
This is the golden age of grotesque
....
the devils are the girls with Van Goh's missing ear
...
Ladies und Gentlemen
It's a dirty word Reich (and Nietzsche is often mixed up with Nazi (Third Reich) Ideology).
Probably just me, but I hear the pages of Nietzsche being opened and spun into lyrical form.
well nietzsche has nothing to do with the nazi ideology, the nietzsche ubermensch is always missinterpret with the nazi ubermensch. Nazi ubermensch is racial and nietzsche ubermensch is a philosophical concept of a man that would be superior not because of his ethni but because of his way of seeing things.

Well, it seems a bit misleading to say that you hear "the pages of Nietzsche being opened and spun into lyrical form" if you're also going to affirm that it is a misinterpretation of Nietzsche's work to compare it with Nazism.

You're saying that the lyrics seem very Nietzschean because they also seem very fascist/nazi-esque, but at the same time you agree that the true meaning of...

I wouldn't usually be such a prick to point out someone else's flawed and logically invalid comment, but you seemed to get rather defensive and sarcastic, so I figured why not.
Like androgyne said I do not really understand the point between this song and nietzche. Nietzche was "way more/only" present in antichrist superstar than in any other of his albums...
What are exactly trying so express there?
"It's a dirty word Reich (and Nietzsche is often mixed up with Nazi (Third Reich) "

Yeah, that's why I said "often mixed up with Nazi ideology." Please carefully read before trying to correct someone.
