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.

Marilyn Manson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When I was gutted, she was dressed in white
And I couldn't take my eyes off her
But that's not what I took off that night
She'll never cover up what we did with her dress
No
She said, "Kiss me, it'll heal but it won't forget."
"Kiss me, it'll heal but it won't forget."
I don't mind you keeping me on pins and needles
If I could stick to you and you stick me, too
Don't break, don't break my heart
And I won't break your heart shaped glasses
Little girl, little girl, you should close your eyes
That blue is getting me high
Don't break, don't break my heart
And I won't break your heart shaped glasses
Little girl, little girl, you should close your eyes
That blue is getting me high, making me low
That blue is getting me high, making me low
She reminds me of the one I knew that cut up the negatives of my life
I couldn't take my hands off her; she wouldn't let me be anywhere but inside
And I don't mind you keeping me on pins and needles
If I could stick to you and you stick me, too
Just don't break, don't break my heart
And I won't break your heart shaped glasses
Little girl, little girl, you should close your eyes
That blue is getting me high
Don't break, don't break my heart
And I won't break your heart shaped glasses
Little girl, little girl, you should close your eyes
That blue is getting me high, making me low
She'll never cover up what we did with her dress
No
She said, "Kiss me, it'll heal but it won't forget."
"Kiss me, it'll heal but it won't forget."
I don't mind you keeping me on pins and needles
If I could stick to you and you could stick me, too
Don't break, don't break my heart
And I won't break your heart shaped glasses
Little girl, little girl, you should close your eyes
That blue is getting me high
Don't break, don't break my heart
And I won't break your heart shaped glasses
Little girl, little girl, you should close your eyes
That blue is getting me high, making me low
The lyrics of Marilyn Manson's "Heart Shaped Glasses" suggest a BDSM relationship between the singer and a girl who reminds him of someone he knew in the past. It's clear that the singer is turned on by her and the lyrics suggest the two engage in something sexually provocative. The opening line of the song, "She reminds me of the one in school, When I was gutted, she was dressed in white," could be interpreted to mean the singer was heartbroken in the past, and perhaps this new relationship is a way for him to move on. The line "I don't mind you keeping me on pins and needles, If I could stick to you and you could stick me, too" suggests a level of trust and willingness to engage in whatever BDSM activities they enjoy.
The chorus lyrics "Don't break, don't break my heart and I won't break your heart-shaped glasses" can be interpreted in different ways, but it seems to suggest the singer is asking the girl to be careful with his emotions, and he'll return the favor by not breaking the sexual dynamic they have. The lyrics "She said, 'Kiss me, it'll heal but it won't forget,'" could be interpreted to mean that the sexual dynamic is an escape for both of them, but the pain from their pasts won't go away completely.
Overall, the lyrics of "Heart Shaped Glasses" suggest a sexual relationship with a BDSM dynamic that provides a level of emotional release and escape for the two participants.

Alexander Payne was falsely accused of rape (statutory rape) by Rose McGowan.
She claimed he asked her out when she was 15 in 1988, brought her back to his place and showed her a soft-porn movie he had directed under a different name for Showtime, and initiated sex with her, then put her in his car and dropped her off at a random street corner.
Everything from her story turned out to be false: They met in 1991, not 1988, making her 18. He had never directed anything for Showtime, and had never directed under a pseudonym. He never directed anything professionally until 1991, and they actually met when Rose auditioned for him in 1991 and left her number at the casting desk, telling the person to have Alexander call her. Alexander was 26 at the time.
The timeline can be proved by the lack of tax records and crew members from a production for Showtime prior to 1991, or any other time.
There are no tax records for Alexander Payne at Showtime, which would have been under Alexander’s legal name, even if he used a pseudonym.
Rose McGowan is a liar and a false accuser.
@FocusedFighter777
Dont know about him personally, but if a person gets denounced several times by plenty of other people (men, bandmates!, women, his mom!), it's because there must be some truth to it , no????
Doesnt matter if "he saved your life" with his music.... doesnt prove anything, doesnt prove he is a good person.
Why cant people see this?
We dont know him personaly. But shouldnt you know the stuff he kept saying over the years: now red flags even more???
Despite everything, you guys are still ready to protect him.
MM has exactly what he wanted: sheeps as fans.

She’s a liar.
Here’s a quote from a Rolling Stone story from 2016, where she explicitly claims it wasn’t real sex. By the way, they broke up in 2010, so this is 6 YEARS AFTER they broke up. He didn’t have any influence over her about talking to the press in 2016:
“So Wood did what made sense at the time: At 18, she went to the Chateau Marmont, met Marilyn Manson (then 36 and married to Dita Von Teese), started dating him, and subsequently appeared, Lolita-like, in a video for “Heart-Shaped Glasses,” groping her nether region and then making out with Manson as fake blood rains upon them in a video so graphic that the sex was rumored to have been real (she says it wasn’t).”
Also:
“No one was looking after me.”
That’s a lie, per her own words below: Her mom tried, and she alludes to others trying, but she refused.
The Interview with Rolling Stone Magazine was published on November 17, 2016. Evan Rachel Wood talking about Marilyn Manson: “I met somebody that promised freedom and expression and no judgments,” she says. “And I was craving danger and excitement. I looked at my mother one day and said, ‘Mom, I’m gonna get on this tour bus for eight months and see the world and have a crazy journey and find myself, and if people aren’t OK with that, I’m sorry, but I can’t live my life for other people.’ ”
In the interview, she explicitly said they didn’t have sex in the video.
So she’s DEFINITELY LYING: She’s either lying then or now. Either way, she lied.
Here is the link. The date is November 17, 2016. The date is key, because in 2017, the PoundMeToo movement started, where women began to “REVISE HISTORY,” turning their consensual relationships into BABY-VICTIMHOOD STORIES. Too bad this interview wasn’t a year later, because by then she would have gotten THE SCRIPT:
