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 ↴
She's got the dirt and spit of the world
She's got her mouth on the metal
The lips of a scared little girl
I got a angel in the lobby
He's waiting to put me in line
I won't ask forgiveness
She's got her Christian prescriptures
And death has crawled in her ear
Like elevator music of songs
That she shouldn't hear
And it spins around
1, 2, 3,
And we all lay down
4, 5, 6,
Some do it fast
Some do it better in smaller amounts
And it turns around
1, 2, 3,
And we all lay down
4, 5, 6,
Some do it fast
Some do it better in smaller amounts
The song "Nobodies" by Marilyn Manson is a commentary on fame and the dehumanization of celebrities. The lyrics suggest that those who seek fame end up sacrificing their humanity and becoming "nobodies" in the process. The opening lines describe a young girl who is exposed to the harsh realities of the world and has become jaded as a result, but is still vulnerable and scared deep down. The imagery of her "mouth on the metal" suggests that she is ready to fight back, but is helpless without the protection of others.
The singer then introduces the character of an angel in the lobby who is waiting to "put him in line". This could be interpreted as a reference to the devil, who is often depicted as a fallen angel. The singer is unapologetic for his lack of faith, suggesting that he has lost hope and is resigned to his fate. The girl, on the other hand, clings to her Christian scriptures, but is ultimately consumed by death.
The chorus repeats the numbers 1 through 6, suggesting a countdown to death. Some people choose to end their lives quickly, while others take their time and try to make the most of their remaining time. The repetition of the numbers creates a hypnotic effect, underscoring the fatalistic theme of the song.
