In the past, band members dressed in outlandish makeup and costumes, and engaged in intentionally shocking behavior both onstage and off. Their lyrics often received criticism for their anti-religious sentiment and references to sex, violence and drugs, while their live performances were frequently called offensive and obscene. On several occasions, protests and petitions led to the group being blocked from performing, with at least three US states passing legislation banning the group from performing at state-owned venues. They released a number of platinum-selling albums, including Antichrist Superstar (1996) and Mechanical Animals (1998). These albums, along with their highly stylized music videos and worldwide touring, brought public recognition to Marilyn Manson. In 1999, news media, infamously, falsely blamed the band for influencing the perpetrators of the Columbine High School massacre.
As this controversy began to wane throughout the 2000s, so did the band's mainstream popularity. Despite this, Jon Wiederhorn of MTV, in June 2003, referred to Marilyn Manson as "the only true artist today". Marilyn Manson is widely regarded as being one of the most iconic and controversial figures in rock music, with the band and its lead singer influencing numerous other groups and musicians, both in metal-associated acts and also in wider popular culture. VH1 ranked Marilyn Manson as the seventy-eighth best rock band on their 100 Great Artists of Hard Rock. They were inducted into the Kerrang! Hall of Fame in 2000, and have been nominated for four Grammy Awards. In the U.S., the band has seen ten of its releases debut in the top ten, including two number-one albums. Marilyn Manson have sold in excess of 50 million records worldwide.

All sorts of tax-free face-lift-abortion-nervous-break-dance
Satanic girls gone wild
Truly fuckin' suicidal
First, you try to fuck it.
Then, you try to eat it.
If it hasn't learned your name,
First, you try to fuck it
Then, you try to eat it
If it hasn't learned your name,
You'd better kill it before they see it
It's arma-goddamn-mother-fuckin-geddon

I've got a black eye of a soul
My morals in a hole
I wish I was still dead
But the TV said its just a tropical depression
Pointless intervention, legal separation
Call my dealer or my lawyer, "We've got a situation!"

The lyrics of Marilyn Manson's Arma-Goddamn-Motherfuckin-Geddon are heavily laden with sexual and violent imagery. The repeated refrain of "Fuck! Eat! Kill!" suggests an unhinged, reckless aggression. The lines "Death to the ladies first, then the gentlemen / All sorts of tax-free face-lift-abortion-nervous-break-dance / Satanic girls gone wild / Truly fuckin' suicidal" conjure up a dystopian society where death and destruction are the norm. The song also touches on themes of depression and the numbing effect of the media. Manson's description of his "morals in a hole" and his wish to be dead suggest a sense of hopelessness and alienation. He also hints at the powerlessness of individuals to change larger societal problems, referencing "Pointless intervention, legal separation."

Death to the ladies first, then the gentlemen
Let's destroy everyone equally
All sorts of tax-free face-lift-abortion-nervous-break-dance
Anything and everything to distract from the pain and discomfort we feel
Satanic girls gone wild
Girls who have been cast out by society and now live recklessly
Truly fuckin' suicidal
Going through life with a death wish
First, you try to fuck it.
Trying to connect with something or someone on a physical level.
Then, you try to eat it.
Attempt to consume, own or control the thing we want or desire.

If the object of your desire is not aware of you, you may feel invisible or powerless.
You'd better kill it before they see it
Destroy it before it has the chance to harm you or expose your desires.
I've got a black eye of a soul
My soul has been battered and wounded by life.
My morals in a hole
I have lost touch with my values and beliefs due to external pressure.
I wish I was still dead
A longing for the release of death after experiencing unbearable pain.
But the TV said it's just a tropical depression
The media downplays the struggles of real people and makes light of mental health issues.
Pointless intervention, legal separation
Attempts to heal or fix our problems only exacerbate our pain, as do legal separations.
Call my dealer or my lawyer, 'We've got a situation!'
Turning to vices or professionals in times of desperation, because no one else can help.
Is it the news?
Is this the reality we are living in?
Or is it the noose?
Are we being strangled by societal pressure and expectations?
Results may vary, side effects are very
Life has unpredictable outcomes, and negative consequences are always a possibility.
Fuck the goddamn, the TV and the radio
Frustration and anger towards external sources of pain and stress.
And fuck making hits, I'm taking credit for the death toll
I am taking responsibility for the harm and destruction that surrounds me, instead of trying to be successful.
It's arma-goddamn-mother-fuckin-geddon
This is what we have created for ourselves: a world of chaos and destruction.
