Daily Reflections: You and Me and the Devil Makes Three...

I decided to start this section to compare Marilyn Manson´s songs and words to some images displayed in the Tarot Cards. Here´s the first one I found; the Devil, number 15.

Now, lots of people get scared when they see the image of the Devil, but in fact in the cards it refers to different aspects of the human being. Notice it has a "sister" card which is "The Lovers" number 6.

The Devil card has as its ruling sign Capricorn, which also happens to be Manson´s actual astrological sign. Some meanings it has is that is a card of ambitions, temptations,addictions and all other things derived from the image. Compare these meanings with the lyrics of "You and Me and the Devil Makes Three". It would help you better if you played the song out loud.




"You And Me And The Devil Makes 3"

I'm just like rolling a stone up
A hill in Hades
If you want to lie with me
You're going to be a liar

Hell-flavored, I've got mood poisoning
You must be something that I hate
I'm just a prison of property
Buckets full of better misery
There's not a word for what I want to do to you
There's not a word for what I want to do to you

You and me and the devil makes 3
You and me
You and me and the devil makes 3
You and me
You and me and the devil makes 3
You and me

Murdercute happyrape
Murdercute happy, happy, happyrape
Killer
Murdercute happyrape
Murdercute happy, happy, happyrape
Killer
You and me and the devil makes 3
You and me
You and me and the devil makes 3
You and me
You and me and the devil makes 3
You and me
1-2-3

If you get in bed someone will fall in love
You and me and the devil makes 3
There's not a word for what I want to do to you
There's not a word for what I want to do to you
There's not a word for what I want to do to you
There's not a word for what I want to do to you
