Trivia
- The song's mention of "looking-glass people" is likely a reference to the Lewis Carroll story Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There. Marilyn Manson later attempted to incorporate characters from this book, including Alice, Tweedledee and Tweedledum, into the film Phantasmagoria: The Visions of Lewis Carroll.
