Marilyn Manson: Dried Up, Tied, And Dead To The World Meaning
Dried Up, Tied, And Dead To The World Lyrics
trade them in for dollar bills
cake up some more make-up to
cover up all those lines
wake up and stop shaking because your just
wasting time.
don't you want some of this?
don't you...

I think its a warning about drug abuse and parrallels that with religion.You can either be a servant to a god or your god could be a drug.Either way,both could make you "Dried up,tied and dead to the world"

I think Manson is basically trying to portray the worm having his "Last Supper/Crucifixion" moment in front of his worshipers. He's telling them how to worship him when he returns as the Almighty Dis-integrator and how to do the selfish "good work" of their god, hypocritically give them an excuse for doing the wrong things, and then allowing them to be easily forgiven in his books while kindly ignoring the regards of others. But before he returns even more powerful than before, he needs to have his body given up to his people as a symbolization of the sacrifice that he made of himself. He needs to be "All dried up, and tied up forever, all fucked up and dead to the world."
I've heard different people compare this song to other things like love, sex, and drugs as well, but I think that those themes may also be valid.
"You cut off all of your fingers/Trade them in for dollar bills"; (Throw away the tools that you have for learning, and giving and blindly take in all of my "dogma" that makes you feel better about the wrong that you do).
