The limited edition film directed by Manson which came with The Golden Age Of Grotesque, Manson has said, is a stream of conscious directly into the mind and ethos of who and what Marilyn Manson is. For those unfamiliar, the term 'stream of conscious' was first used in the poetic sense by the early Nineteenth Century Transcendentalists such as Ralph Waldo Emerson to describe the mechanism at work of the poet writing forth his thoughts as they come forth, unabridged and unedited in a similar sense that automatic writing is used, which paints a very personal and very internal portrait of the poet. Albeit often so personal that the significance is easily missed as it delves so deep within the interior mind of the composer. Many elements of and in The Golden Age Of Grotesque, as Manson has said, are what they are in that they aren't meant to be "understood" via conventional means, they exist and they're in existence to be absorbed and taken in for what they are. DOPPELHERZ is this stream of conscious into the very personal mind of Marilyn Manson, unhindered and unobscured by any metaphors of previous eras, which have been thoroughly misunderstood by many, the thoughts plain and pure; abstract expressions like DaDa. In its writing/creation Manson ordered everyone else outside of the recording studio, laid out all of his open notebooks and recorded as each thought as it came to create what has been made.
