Music details
Reviewing for Thrash Hits, Hugh Platt was displeased that "after an record featuring some of his best material for nearly a decade, closing the album with the hands-off minimalism of album '15' is akin to ending on a petulant sigh, rather than the defiant final middle-finger salute The High End of Low surely deserves."[1]
In his review for The Quietus, John Robb gave a surprisingly sparse analysis of "15", although he did highlight that with its "descending riff" and its "lying-in-bed, fuck-everything sulkiness, [...] '15' drools with its own lethargic hatred."[2]

Lyrics
If you can hear this
don't assume that I'm talking to you
Yesterday everything, I thought I believed in died
but today is my birthday
today is my birthday
I don't need you,
I'll say it to myself
It doesn't mean I won't need somebody
anyone with half a soul
will hear this and they'll never leave me
if you don't know what forever feels like
i'll show you what it feels like without it
if you don't know what forever feels like
i'll show you what it feels like without it
this time I won't hesitate
to kill to protect what I believe in
this time I won't hesitate
to kill to protect what I believe in
i can get by now
I'm not really dead
but I really needed someone to save me
leaving me alone to die
is worse than having the guts to kill me
if you don't know what forever feels like
i'll show you what it feels like without it
if you don't know what forever feels like
i'll show you what it feels like without it
this time I won't hesitate
to kill to protect what I believe in
this time I won't hesitate
to kill to protect what I believe in
not letting you win
won't satisfy me
I'll teach you about loss
Trivia
- The day "15" was written and recorded, Manson celebrated his fortieth birthday.
