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 ↴
Don't take time to sew the stitches.
Burn the witches, burn the witches.
Don't take time to sew the stitches.
Hand shake, ring sign, snake eye, bite mine.
Hand shake, ring sign, snake eye, bite mine.
I don't need your hate.
I decide my fate.
Don't take time to sew the stitches.
Burn your bridges, burn your bridges
Don't take time to sew the stitches.
Levi, Crowley, Golden Dawn.
Strange same dogma, on and on.
I don't need your hate.
I decide my fate.
We don't viscerate.
Your mind masturbates.
The lyrics of Marilyn Manson's "Same Strange Dogma" seem to be directed at those who hold onto traditional and oppressive beliefs, urging them to let go and move forward. The repeated call to "burn the witches" implies a desire to rid society of these outdated ideas, even if it means taking extreme measures. The lines "Hand shake, ring sign, snake eye, bite mine", seem to reference secret societies or organizations with hidden agendas, suggesting that these groups perpetuate the same strange dogma that the singer is trying to distance himself from.
The mention of historical figures like Levi and Crowley, as well as the Golden Dawn, is a nod to the occult and esoteric practices that have often been associated with rebellion and nonconformity. The lyrics suggest that this same dogma has persisted throughout history, despite efforts to challenge it. The singer ultimately states that he is in control of his own fate and does not need the hate or judgment of those who cling to old ways of thinking.
Overall, the lyrics of "Same Strange Dogma" are a call to question and challenge established beliefs and ideas, encouraging individuals to embrace their own autonomy and forge their own path in life.
