- Mechanical Animals LyricsWe were neurophobic and perfect
The day that we lost our souls
Machines that wished they were human
If they cry they will rust
And I was a hand grenade
That never stopped exploding
You were automatic and as hollow as the "o" in God
I am never gonna be the one for you
I am never gonna save the world from you
But they'll never be good for you
Or bad to you
They'll never be anything
Anything at all
You were my mechanical bride
You were phenobarbie-doll
A manic queen of depression
With the face of a dead star
And I was a hand grenade
That never stopped exploding
You were automatic and as hollow as the "o" in God
I am never gonna be the one for you
I am never gonna be the one for you
I am never gonna save the world from you
But they'll never be good for you
Or bad to you
They'll never be anything
Anything at all
This isn't me I'm not mechanical
I'm just a boy playing the suicide king
The day that we lost our souls
Machines that wished they were human
If they cry they will rust
And I was a hand grenade
That never stopped exploding
You were automatic and as hollow as the "o" in God
I am never gonna be the one for you
I am never gonna save the world from you
But they'll never be good for you
Or bad to you
They'll never be anything
Anything at all
You were my mechanical bride
You were phenobarbie-doll
With the face of a dead star
And I was a hand grenade
That never stopped exploding
You were automatic and as hollow as the "o" in God
I am never gonna be the one for you
I am never gonna be the one for you
I am never gonna save the world from you
But they'll never be good for you
Or bad to you
They'll never be anything
Anything at all
This isn't me I'm not mechanical
I'm just a boy playing the suicide king

When we reflect on what the artist might have meant, Marilyn Manson's song 'Mechanical Animals' employs metaphors such as being 'neurophobic and perfect' and 'mechanical bride' to express a feeling of estrangement and an artificial nature in relationships. In other words, the lyrics portray the situation of not belonging, of being too much and nothing at the same time, and they also implicitly reject the concept of being a messiah and the pressure of fitting into the mainstream. The lyrics of mechanical animals are all about fighting, losing, suffering, and being alone with one's thoughts, yet they very clearly indicate the importance of one's identity and self-image, emotional disturbance, and the despair and disillusionment of the love relationship. With the lyrics, marriage and divorce seem to be the most important themes in the song since they definitely sound like despair and self-harm, which is why they probably not suitable for kids younger than 13. The images of being a 'hand grenade' and 'playing the suicide king' point to the depth of the emotional struggles that the song gives us, thus the use of a PG-13 rating for mature themes is quite understandable.
