However, the “deep” meaning of the songs is not apparent to Douglass until he becomes an outsider to the group. So the experiences that shape these songs aren’t necessarily what you’d expect.“Never Learn Not to Love” started off as a song called “Cease to Exist,” which Manson showed to Beach Boys’ drummer Dennis Wilson.
My boyfriend and I were choosing a song to be "our song" last night and this was one of my suggestions.

Apparently, you believe in me, you believe in me Apparently, you believe in me and I thank you for it Another day another rhyme ho Another day another time zone Today I woke up feelin' horny so it's only right I got two bitches playin' on my trumbone Keep up, never sure where the words would take me Niggas eat em up, and regurgitate me After all, what did he do—rape a baby?That changes a lot about the song, but it also makes more sense. So the line “f—k off” was changed to more the radio-friendly “freak out.”Manson called his cult “a rebirth movement.” He convinced people that they were supposed to die and be reborn. It was released in 1978 as the only single from their third studio album, Cruisin' (1978). He wrote a love song for her because that is the way he felt and still feels. Dennis persuaded the band to cover the song. According to Steinman, the whole vampire motif should be obvious “if anyone listens to the lyrics.”The message was one of peace—partly in a spiritual way but also in a more literal way. Those lines about “Just come on down” aren’t sincere invitations to start dancing. Lennon apparently thought the song was written to him as a blessing on his relationship with then new girlfriend Yoko Ono even though she was straining his and McCartney's relationship. Dre hadn’t asked for a song about his brother or even told Royce that his brother had died.From Aretha Franklin, that sounds like a proud woman boasting that she can be the breadwinner even in an era of unequal pay. He wants to be with her and he loves her so much he would marry her and keep her for his entire life. Maybe he’s someone who’s a little manipulative and demands that things must be his way.Ian Watkins was convicted of 13 child sex offenses and sentenced to 35 years in prison.This changes the perceived meaning of the lyrics quite a bit. He’s the guy who wrote every one of Spears’s biggest hits, including “Hit Me Baby One More Time” and “Oops, I Did It Again.” Ironically, these songs played a major part in manufacturing her image.When the song tells you to “cease to exist” and to “give up your world,” it’s not a metaphor.

The lines about the girl who couldn’t make it on her own are probably about a sexual predator manipulating a woman into doing some truly horrible things.But there’s actually a bit more to the song.The cancan has gone through a lot of changes. "Y.M.C.A." “A star dancing in the night with a tail as big as a kite” doesn’t do a great job of describing the star over Bethlehem. The Beach Boys are telling you to kill yourself.Bing Crosby’s “Do You Hear What I Hear?” gets played at churches and shopping malls every year. It might cause some people to say that Watkins was the worst person who ever lived. Regarding this flashback at the end of the song, Gabriel explained to Sounds in 1980: "It is a film device, but I don't think I've seen it done in a rock song before.
