Marilyn Manson - As Sick as the Secrets Of (Sleep) | Lyrics Meaning:

Lyrics explore themes of addiction, secrecy, emotional entanglement, and the destructive “beast” within—a metaphor for compulsions, trauma, and inner demons. The narrator describes being trapped in a life that has spiraled from relying on something “to get by” into a hollow existence defined by dependency (“a life that was no life at all”). The imagery of communion, cold blood, worms, and picked-clean bones evokes corruption of the self, as if the narrator’s inner world has decayed under the weight of the secrets they carry. The idea that “you’re only as sick as the secrets within” suggests that hidden shame and unspoken trauma fuel the destructive cycle. The “beast” represents these buried forces slowly taking control, turning the narrator into someone unrecognizable and consumed.

The song also describes a deeply toxic bond—two people trapped in a cage the narrator admits to having built, unable to escape because they have been “sewn into” each other’s identities. The line “I was never your taxidermy” rejects the idea of being a lifeless object to be preserved or controlled, yet the connection is still suffocating and inescapable. The repeated whisper-like refrain “Keep sleeping, I’ll make you dream of me” adds a haunting, predatory intimacy, implying manipulation, obsession, or the lingering presence of the narrator in someone’s subconscious. Overall, the lyrics portray a struggle against addiction and inner darkness, intertwined with a parasitic relationship where secrets and the “beast” within drive both people toward ruin.

Marilyn Manson - As Sick as the Secrets Of (Sleep) (Lyrics)

This is no longer just my communion
The worms of the flesh have turned
With all the sacrifices I swallow
And the blood from the cup is so cold
It's not so evil as much as it's hungry
I see these bodies and the bones picked clean
I built this cage we've been trapped in together
I can't remember where I hid the keys
A reason for me, for me to get by
Became a need, a need to get high
Then into a life that was no life at all
No life at all
There is a trick to get out of your skin
You're only as sick as the secrets within
But the beast is calling for us and
Slowly assuming control
I was never your taxidermy
I'm sewn into your soul
I was never your taxidermy
I'm sewn into your soul
A reason for me, for me to get by
Became a need, a need to get high
Then into a life that was no life at all
No life at all
There is a trick to get out of your skin
You're only as sick as the secrets within
But the beast is calling for us and
Slowly assuming control
There is a trick to get out of your skin
You're only as sick as the secrets within
But the beast is calling for us and
Slowly assuming control
Keep sleeping, I'll make you dream of me
Keep sleeping, I'll make you dream of me
Keep sleeping, I'll make you dream of me
Keep sleeping, I'll make you dream of me
Keep sleeping, I'll make you dream of me
Keep sleeping, I'll make you dream of me
Keep sleeping, I'll make you dream of me
Keep sleeping
