Coma White Discussion

[Floyd10]

I got to see the Coma White Music Video for the first time today, and I must say that it kind of confused me. I always knew (well thought) That the song was telling a story about a woman who was leading such a destructive life with drug abuse, and thoughts of suicide.

Although, the video was laced with JFK Assasination references (A parade for the prez and hes shot; the blonde horrifyed; 50's and 60's clothing, etc).

So this got me to thinking, Was this song really about Jackie O? I know that she had problems with Her husband, but I don't know how rampant her drug abuse was. Or Maybe It was about Marilyn Monroe?(he has named himself after her... I wouldnt be surprised if there was a vid on ol Charlie.)  Either way, I just wanted to share this with the members of the board, and See what everyone's opinions are.

BTW: Lyrics are here:

"Coma White" by Marilyn Manson on Mechanical Animals.

There's something cold and blank behind her smile
She's standing on an overpass
In her miracle mile
[coma:]
"You were from a perfect world
A world that threw me away today
Today to run away"

A pill to make you numb
A pill to make you dumb
A pill to make you anybody else
But all the drugs in this world
Won't save her from herself

Her mouth was an empty cut
And she was waiting to fall
Just bleeding like a polaroid that
Lost all her dolls
[coma:]
"You were from a perfect world
A world that threw me away today
Today to run away"

A pill to make you numb
A pill to make you dumb
[chorus repeat]
