MARILYN MANSON

- Tourniquet Lyrics

she's made of hair and bone and little teeth
and things I cannot speak
she comes on like a crippled plaything
spine is just a string
I wrapped our love in all this foil
silver-tight like spider legs
I never wanted it to ever spoil
but flies will lay their eggs
Take your hatred out on me
make your victim my head
you never ever believed in me
I am your tourniquet
prosthetic synthesis with butterfly
sealed up with virgin stitch
if it hurts, baby please tell me
preserve the innocence
I never wanted it to end like this
but flies will lay their eggs

What is the meaning behind Tourniquet lyrics?


When we dive into the story the lyrics are telling, Marilyn Manson's 'Tourniquet' is a song about a toxic relationship where the singer sees himself as a sacrificial lamb, a person who is used to take in all the negativity and pain of the other. The tourniquet metaphor is a powerful image portraying the emotional draining and suffocation of the singer by the toxic relationship. The song is indeed very much about the pouring out of feelings - the lyrics more than anything else bring to the foreground the singer's whole range of feelings, namely, angst, heartbreak, anger, despair and also contemplation. In the meantime, the composition does talk about the struggle and pain, love and protection, self-examination and identity.
