Count To Six And Die "Click, Click, Click, Click, Click"

[brian219]

Well we know what the bullet is because it says in Love Song:

"she tells me I'm a pretty bullet"

Manson is the bullet and he's in the 6th chamber.

"she tells me I'm a pretty bullet"

Manson is the bullet and he's in the 6th chamber.

Except that he claims that HE goes 'click' and that's not the sound a loaded bullet makes.

I think it's more like SHE was the pistol and HE was the bullet, and now that the duality is gone Manson is becoming the gun, no longer "someone else's nigger." This is evolution.

2012
"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."


2000
"I'm more like a silver bullet,
than I'm like a gun,
I'm not easy to hold.
I'm moving fast and if i stay inside your heart,
I'm certain that this will be the end of your life"

"The bullet:
I've got a crush on a pretty pistol
should I tell her that I feel this way?"
-------------
"She tells me I'm a pretty bullet
an Imitation Christ"

If you doubt that these verses are connected, consider that in Disengaged he says "handsomest gun" and in Love Song he says "pretty bullet." We are then left to wonder what the difference between a SILVER bullet and a DIAMOND bullet.

after listening to the album over and over, i do wonder if some of the "music" was anything they had left over from the HW sessions

I can't remember if it was Manson or Twiggy now, but I believe they said around the release of THEOL that their writing pretty much picked up where HW left off.

The end of Count to Six I believe is the shutter of cameras pitched down

Indeed, it continues to amuse me how many people fall in to the assumption it is a gun, which is in my opinion far more the point of the whole thing than any belief on what a gun sound could imply.

[brian219]

Yup, it's all about cameras. Even in the Reflecting God when he says "shoot, shoot, shoot motherfucker" it's obviously about him being impatient at a photo session.

[Sans Agendum]

In previous works he described himself at the bullet. On this album he is the gun.

Perhaps it has to do with "the Father" character giving birth to previous incarnations.

Father told us to be faithful.

"Born Villain is literally The Father of the Triptych." -NK

And again, yes there are what could be perceived as photo flashes at the end of CT6 but there's also empty chamber shots also. 5 of them... Come on guys.

Why die while you can kill the father,dad is missing an 'E'.

[brian219]

I think gun may mean god. Monkey-->man-->god. Kinda like in kubrick's 2001, where it begins with primates and ends with the birth of the star child.

Also, after thinking about it, I think that if silver bullets are for killing rapist werewolves, then surely diamond bullets are for killing gods.

Whoa, where did you find out about this? I've never heard about this.
