Coma White analysis

The song "Coma White" is done by Marilyn Manson. The story behind the song is that it is written abour and for Manson's ex-girlfriend Rose Mcgowan. The song describes a girl who is in turmoil personally and uses drugs to deal with it. The struggle is her own ordeal in that she abuses drugs and cannot overcome her own problems. The main metaphor is in the chorus "a pill to make you numb, a pill to make you dumb, a pill to make you anybody else". The "pill" is the many drugs she uses and its many ways to make her forget about her life and the troubles she lifes with. The othe metaphor is "her mouth was an empty cut". This describes her mouth as useless and more importantly her as useless when she was high on drugs. The high took her soul away and left her useless.
