Marilyn Manson - Tourniquet

“Tourniquet” is the second single and fourth track of the second album Antichrist Superstar. In the first few seconds of the song, backmasked vocals can be heard, which are: “This is my lowest point of vulnerability”. In the book The Long Hard Road Out of Hell, Manson states that he had been under the influence of cocaine and was crying in the studio during the time that he recorded the aforementioned vocal.

The whole song is based around a dream he had about creating a woman from prosthetic limbs.
   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 always 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 just tell me
   preserve the innocence
   I never wanted it to end this way,
   but flies will lay their eggs
