To be fair, MM has a lot of songs that are in a shuffle groove. It's not so much them copying the song but rather part of their signature sound. The shuffle groove and muted guitar chugs are pretty much the only things in common.

This reminds me of Game of Thrones with how so many of the characters dreamed of inheriting the throne. Rarely did any of them realize they might be better off with freedom instead of power.

[@lgchamp1999]

“You will be what you "will" to be; Let failure find its false content In that poor word, "environment", But spirit scorns it, and is free. It masters time, it conquers space; It cowes that boastful trickster, Chance, And bids the tyrant Circumstance To uncrown, and fill a servant's place. The human will, that force unseen, The offspring of a deathless Soul, Can hew a way to any goal, Though walls of graite intervene. Be not impatient in delay But wait as one who understands; When spirit rises and commands Then God is ready to obey.”

[@lgchamp1999]

[@gaijingwailo8589]

its a shame no one is decrypting these lyrics

[@mickeymoise8326]

From what I have "deciphered" it's a song about the vicious cycle of nature and are inability to escape from it's grip. The most important words Manson uses to give meaning to this song is "honeybee" and "Fibonacci." Manson is essentially describing the Fibonacci sequence. Fibonaccis sequence uses triangles and circles, and in true Manson fashion, pentagrams can also be found in this sequence. Everything in nature from the shape of petals to the structure of a honeybee hive uses this principle that some people deem as "perfect" or even "utopic." The chorus line, "You Are/What You Beat" may also be a hidden Fibonacci phrase. I'm assuming Manson is talking about a person's heartbeat. Some people believe the human heartbeat also beats in an eerie pattern reminiscent of Fibonaccis sequence. Fueling are entrapment within nature. I also think the reiteration of "slave doesn't dream to be free/slave only wants to be king" is extremely profound. Instead of the slave breaking free of their bindings they instead dream of becoming the oppressor. This also falls within the Fibonacci sequence since circles are a common shape. Instead of breaking the circular pattern of oppressor and the oppressed and the slave embraces the belief that being "king" is better than being "free." Charles Mansons tapes were a good backdrop, since it shows that vicious cycle in action. My two cents. It was very fun to dissect. I'm a big fan of Bob Dylan so cryptic lyrics is a dream come true.

[@Jackp2003]

[@oberynmartell818]

anybody got theorys on whats it about

[@ZarajBlackblade]

+Oberyn Martell It's up to interpretation, especially considering how cryptic some of the verses are in this. But... "Take my money like an ugly bee, covered in honey too dumb to see My Fibonacci blinded by your jealosy" "You are what you beat" and "Slave Never Dreams to Be Free" makes me believe it's a comment on how enslaved we become in the capitalistic society we are raised in. It's inherently a materialistic and competitive ideology, that makes us compare one another in terms of job, things and status. Fibonnacci was an italian mathematician who came up with a mathematical sequence that is usually referenced as an endless spiral. It is comprised of a series of numbers that form by adding the former numbers to make the next number in the sequence. (1 - 1 - 2 - 3 - 5 - 8 - 13 - 21...) and goes on endlessly. Bees also mate in this way, which is probably why the bee reference is in there. So he is likening us to bees who essentially slave under a system, only driven by the desire to outperform our peer. A rich person presents an ideal of success in our western society. A poor person on the other hand is most of the time concerned with how to become rich, or stop living in poverty. Hence, "Slave Only Dreams to be King". He only wants to be on top of the system, and not free of the system of itself. "Slave Never Dreams to be Free." That's my interpretation, at least.
