Marilyn Manson: No Reflection Meaning

Song Released: 2012

No Reflection Lyrics

Crushing, cheating, changing
Am I deaf or dead?
Is this constricting construction
Or just streets with rusty signs
Of something violent coming?

This will hurt you worse than me
I'm weak, seven days a week
Don't run from me, I...

   the five girls in the music video are his inside feelings , wife(symbol of love) , daughters ( symbols of fear , grief , lust , happiness. these feelings have been born by love). the unknown liquid was his mind's Chaos that was attacking his mind. he kills the other feelings but love(cause it was the most important for him),but he didn't know that with killing the daughters, love is going to die too. after he lost all of these emotions, he came out from framework of humanity.
   the music video wanted to say if someone loses these emotions(especially love),no longer can be human and will have no reflection(cause doesn't have any emotion).

   I got the vampire vibe as well... drinking of the blood, the bible references... he feeds them vampire blood then kills them so as to start their transformation.
   "I don't know which me that I love" meaning he has his humanity side and his vampire side....
   I'm sire there's more to it, because manson is quite deep, but he has been more literal and raw lately

   There's a few interpretations I've read of this song but I interpret it like this.
   
   Manson plays the father figure in this,the woman next to him, his wife, sat at the table with his daughters. He knows something is coming but tries to stop it anyway, by bolting the door shut. They pray and drink the 'wine' which is unknowingly poison. The daughters become cursed and destroy everything around them, they become the opposite of what they were. Manson is holding his wife protectively, then not so protectively, which indicates a split personality, he wants to comfort her but cannot for he knows what is coming. He catches his wife drinking the poison, either out of guilt or desperation, and tries to stop her, tries to suck the poison out but that doesn't work and he knows its too late for her so he drowns her in the toilet, before she can be 'cursed' like the other daughters. He comes in buttoning his blazer, surveying the scene. Was he the one that did this? "I don't know which me that I love" indicates that either....he's psychopathic murderer(he poisoned the daughters) and loving husband (was trying to stop 'himself' from poisoning her), or that the daughters represent his internal struggle? his 'other selves' if you will.
   
   Other notes: the 'Living Bible' (intended for children) has mirrored pages. (In HIS Image) he's wearing a different shirt in the dinner scene to the dancing/bathroom scene...represent split personality?
   
   The act at the table could be a seance, exorcism or prayer. The Loaf of Bread is never broken.
   
   Anyways thats what I think. It could also be interpreted as destroying one self.

   This song is about a vampire (Got no reflection)... and he says that he won't bother playing with his victim.
