"It was about Heliogabalus which may be a little esoteric for our listeners. He was the emperor of Rome before Caligula. He was the first one to deny God and that’s a big deal. For whatever reason I had just opened up all the boxes of my past life." Marilyn Manson about "The Pale Emperor" (Interview by Full Metal Jackie for Loudwire, December 19, 2014.)
Poster referenced by the "Born Villain" film directed by Shia LaBeouf. The film borrows a variety of "very intense, graphic imagery" from a number of sources including Alejandro Jodorowsky's 1973 film The Holy Mountain, Buñuel and Dalí's 1929 short film Un Chien Andalou, Shakespeare and theology.

"It is related to the myth of Christ and how this man became a symbol and that symbol became a religion consumed by people... That's me symbolizing the transformation of Marilyn Manson to human, asking for someone to consume me. [...]" - Marilyn Manson about "Eat me, Drink me" (Interview by Diovanny Garfias, Switch Magazine, June 2007).
"Lest We Forget" is a phrase commonly adorned on memorials in reference to World War II, roughly meaning "In fear that we shall forget history, it shall repeat itself".
The front cover features the painting "Experience Is the Mistress of Fools".
"All the art we have done, has many levels, but in regards to Mickey...his image was also considered to be 'degenerate' by the fascist government in [1930's Germany]. In America he represented so much more. These are pieces of the imagination, no more, no less." -Marilyn Manson, February 2003.
Black face was a type of theatre makeup in the early Vaudville and American theatre where, before blacks were allowed to act, a white was made up with black face paint with a white ellipse around the mouth and occasionally white circles around his eyes. The principle involved is similar to men dressed in feminine guise in the Shakespearean days when women were not allowed to partake in theatre acting. And the same in traditional Japanese theatre today. The fact that Manson is dressed in Black Face is representative further of his art being deemed as "degenerate" by judgemental society, just as black culture was deemed as "degenerate" and forced into dimminuative servitude throughout American history, yet also embraced by white culture simultaneously.

"I show myself exactly how I feel, crucified and without the lower jaw, because they have not allowed me to speak freely". - Marilyn Manson about "Holy Wood" (Interview by Por Carlos del Amo [EFE-IDEAL] Madrid, Spain.)

Cover art of 'The Last Tour On Earth' with TV cross aflame, highly reminiscent of the Ku Klux Klan ceremonial cross burnings aimed at intimidating the Klan's targets, and thus evoking the dichotomy of faith and glorification on one side, and hatred, destruction and blasphemy on the other, aimed at a society dictated by mass media and Christianity, and disturbingly gaining in resonance after the Columbine events.

"Mechanical Animals is how I describe humanity and the path it's following. People look and act like human, but inside, we are losing our souls, we become idiots with the internet, drugs, television, with medicines, anything we find, because everyone is afraid to be individuals. And Mechanical Animals is what I fear happens to this world. " -Marilyn Manson

"The closest thing to God you can do is have the ability to destroy, but to show compassion, showing emotion for the first time [...]".-Marilyn Manson (About Antichrist Superstar)

"The whole point of [Portrait of an American Family] was that I wanted to say a lot of the things I've said in interviews [...] But I wanted to address the hypocrisy of talk show America, how morals are worn as a badge to make you look good and how it's so much easier to talk about your beliefs than to live up to them [...]"
—Marilyn Manson Manson & Strauss 1998, p. 151
