| I remember this having to do with the David Lynch show "Twin Peaks'. There was even a fanzine for Twin Peaks called Wrapped In Plastic. | |

| one of my favorites, dealing with, i think, how society tries to keep things oh so neat and pristine on the outside, no matter that the shiny plastic's covering hypocrisy and decay and terrible deeds. | |

| Marilyn Manson said in "Long Hard Road Out of Hell" that this song is about how families wrap thier furniture up in plastic, keeping it nice and clean on the outside, but all the dirt is trapped inside, and that this is a metaphore. So very true... | |

| "I'm only as sick as the stick in the pig" Is probably a refrence to Lord of the Flies, which Roger kills a big by sticking a stick in the pigs ass. Other than that, this song is about how people force-feed religion and isolate children from reality. "thin and so white, thin and so white daddy tells the daughter" "guilt [religion!] is a snake we beat with a rake to grow in our kitchen in the pies we bake feed it to us to squirm in our bellies twisting our guts make our spines to jelly" Freakish Has nicely summerised what the 'wrapped in plastic' is all about And he talks about, making your children hate things is only going to make them rebel. "fear of the beast is calling it near" And states how religous people hate things out of fear that there religion is not right. "creating what we're hating, it's only fear that is here" "to wash away sin you must take off your skin the righteous father wears the yellowist grin" This line shows that if you REALLY wish to see who is morally right- you need to take off your 'mask'. The mask that many relgious people where that makes them look like 'good people' when deep down they are morally corrupt. Sorry this is so long, and points out the obvious. I love this song, so I have a need to explain every sing part of it. lmfao | |

| Like freakishfae mentioned, this song is about couches being wrapped in plastic with the mindset that the dirt will be kept off the couch. Metaphorically, i believe MM is conveying the message of how families behave: the parents will dress and pamper their kids to look like perfect little school children. Yet as the kids look perfect, their "perfect" family has several problems, all hidden by the "plastic" coveralls on the kids. Or something along those lines. | |

| Well, i say that the lines "come into our home/wont you stay/i know the steak is cold/but it's wrapped in plastic" is kind of a hopeless feeling of being this person that is looked at a such a drag and a disgust but wanting to be accepted because they arent bad even though they are different *cold*. Not like Manson feels hopeless now, but in an interview he said that he used a lot of his childhood poems and stories as inspiration for his first songs. And kids tend to feel different and tend to want to be accepted. | |
