Tourniquet

Like many of Manson's songs, "Tourniquet" is based on a dream. It is about creating a woman from prosthetic limbs, and then adding on his own hair and teeth that he saved from his childhood.

Manson doesn't see this song as objectifying women. He sees it as a manifestation of his desire for companionship and love.

At the beginning of the song, Marilyn Manson says, "This is the point of my vulnerability" backwards.
