* The liner notes say this song was recorded at the same time as "[[Irresponsible Hate Anthem]]", [[1997/02/14 Dayton, OH|February 14th, 1997]], despite the album being released in 2000.
+
    Do you or don't you want this to be your song?
* In the book ''Art That Kills'' by George Petros a handwritten note with the ''Holy Wood (In the Shadow of the Valley of Death)'' tracklist on "Born Again" was listed as "Valley of the Dolls". Apparently, this was the song's [[List of working titles for Marilyn Manson material|working title]].
+
    It doesn't take a rebel to sing along.
* The line "I'll put down your disco and take your heart away" alludes to Charles Manson's reply in an interview with Charlie Rose when asked what he would say if he could write a song right now. He responded "you better bow down disco, I'm going to take your heart away".
+
    This art is weak
* The line "the valley of the dolls is the valley of the dead" allegories Jaqueline Susann's novel ''Valley Of The Dolls''. Interestingly, the 1967 film adaptation (of the same name) featured Manson Family murder victim Sharon Tate portraying the character Jennifer (who dies of a drug overdose), who was allegedly based upon Marilyn Monroe.

 +
* In the book ''Art That Kills'' by George Petros a handwritten note with the ''Holy Wood (In the Shadow of the Valley of Death)'' tracklist on "Born Again" was listed as "Valley of the Dolls". Apparently, this was the song's working title.
