Lay Down Your Goddamn Arms Lyrics

I’m not of this world
you’re not in this heart
this isn’t in me
I’m not of this world
you’re not in this heart
this isn’t in me
To open this box
you can’t shoot the lock
I hide everything
so you can’t see
Wanna fight?
Wanna fuck?
Wanna die?
Try your luck…
Lay down your goddamn arms
Wanna fight?
Wanna fuck?
Wanna die?
Try your luck…
Lay down your goddamn arms
There isn’t a key,
you can use on me
There isn’t a key,
so lay down your arms
arms
arms
You’re a book
every page is written
in words
I cannot read
So i burn
gotta burn
gotta burn
gotta burn it
So i burn
gotta burn
gotta burn
gotta burn it
Wanna fight?
Wanna fuck?
Wanna die?
Try your luck…
Lay down your goddamn arms
There isn’t a key,
you can use on me
There isn’t a key,
so lay down your arms
There isn’t a key,
you can use on me
There isn’t a key,
so lay down your arms
arms
arms
So i burn
gotta burn
gotta burn
gotta burn it

"I’m not of this world. You’re not in this heart. This isn’t in me."

He doubts, now, whether or not he should do what he has to for a woman.

"To open this box, you can’t shoot the lock. I hide everything, so you can’t see."

He doesn't open himself up to her, and so she will never know who he is inside

"You want to fight? You want to fuck? You want to die? Try your luck. Lay down your goddamn arms."

He's saying that she couldn't handle him and who he is.

"There isn’t a key you can use on me. There isn’t a key, so lay down your arms."

There isn't a way she can get to know who he is

"You’re a book every page is written in words I cannot read. So I burn, got to burn it."

He can't figure her out so he thinks its better to let her go

Song Meaning

This one should be deleted...

Cover art for Lay Down Your Goddamn Arms lyrics by Marilyn Manson

In this song, he admits he doubts being able to be "human." It ties together the theme to a couple other songs on this album as well. (i.e. Hey, Cruel World..., The Gardner)

He is describing himself as a person no one will be able to figure out, nor may anyone ever figure out who he is. But to him, the only important thing is that he knows who he is.
