   OK, so basically let's lyric it out:
   
   -Walk through the streets of PA and you may see her.-
   They're walking down Pennsylvania, and they
   see her (My girlfriend)
   
   -Go up to her and say you're a believer.-
   Go up to My girlfriend and basically say you believe in god
   
   -Disgusting trash on MTV it makes her smile.-
   The only things that make My girlfriend laugh is all that nasty things on MTV,(bad things make her laugh)
   
   -That guy from Satan's embassy put him on trial. Because... Marilyn Manson ate my girlfriend.-
   I'm not that sure about these lines, and I think by Marilyn Manson they mean 'Satan' but they're not saying Marilyn Manson is Satan
   
   -Satan consumed her mind, and he may do it again.-
   What they mean is that she became bad.
   
   -She once believed in the truth, now she believes in sin.-
   She used to be good, but now she's bad after 'Satan consumed her mind'
   
   -She denies God when she has the chance to live for him.-
   She doesn't believe in God, and doesn't serve or live for him, instead she believes in Satan
   
   -The thought of it makes me cringe.-
   This line means that the singer is simply unhappy about it
   
   -Her future looks dim.-
   This is a literal line, her future doesn't look that bright anymore
   
   -She'd rather gaze in Satan's eyes than on a steeple.-
   What they mean by steeple is Church, so she'd rather be thinking about bad things than going to church, doing good things, not committing sins, and praying
   
   -I'm really starting to despise beautiful people.-
   My girlfriend must have been pretty, but because she did bad the singer is backing away from her
   
   ~So basically this song is about My girlfriend, and how she used to be good and just but then Marilyn Manson (Satan) "ate" , or changed her mind and made her bad
