[[File:Heart-ShapedGlasses(WhenTheHeartGuidesTheHand)Screenshot.jpg|thumbnail|right|200px|Manson performing for the crowd as polaroids fall down upon the audience]]

The [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rvf1DMDTosk music video], directed by Marilyn Manson using James Cameron's 3D camera (wrongly believed by some to have been directed by Cameron himself) begins with clips of Manson and [[Evan Rachel Wood]] having sex (although the footage is not explicit in any way) with the song "[[Evidence]]" playing in the background. After the short sex scene is over, Manson and Evan are shown in a car driving while Manson is taking pictures of Evan posing with a butcher knife. After this, the song begins to play, and Manson is shown performing in front of a crowd in a dimly lit room; Evan stands in the midst of the dancing crowd, literally wearing heart-shaped glasses. The performance is interspliced with scenes of them driving and having sex while blood rains down upon them. At the end of the song, they are shown again driving the car as they utter the words "Together as one - against all others", right before driving off a cliff. The complete music video is over seven minutes long; however, the more common [http://youtube.com/watch?v=NX1fqMGQWtI edited version] of the video is barely over five minutes, and does not include the lengthy intro. Manson is quoted by [http://www.theinsider.com/news/178389_Marilyn_Manson_talks_about_having_sex_with_Evan_Rachel_Wood_in_his_video the Insider] regarding Evan's paycheck for the video appearance "
I did insist that Evan be paid the most that any actress has ever been paid in music-video history to be in this, even though she wouldn’t have asked for it. There’s no one else that could’ve been in it, because it was inspired by her.”

== Lyrics ==
     She reminds me of
     the one in school
     when I was cutting
     she was dressed in white
     and I couldn't take my eyes off her
     but that's not what I took off that night
     And she'll never cover up
     what we did
     with a dress
     no
     she said
     "kiss me, it will heal
     but it won't forget.
     kiss me, it will heal
     but it won't forget."
     And I don't mind you
     keeping me
     on pins and needles.
     If I could stick to you
     and you could
     stick me too.
     Don't break, don't break 
     my heart
     and I won't break your
     heart-shaped glasses
     Little girl, little girl
     you should close your eyes
     That blue is getting me high
     making me low
     That blue is getting me high
     making me low
     That blue is getting me high
     making me low
     She reminds of
     the one I knew
     that cut up the negatives
     of my life
     I couldn't take my hands off her
     she wouldn't let me be
     anywhere but inside
     And I don't mind you
     keeping me
     on pins and needles.
     If I could stick to you
     and you could
     stick me too.
     Just
     don't break, don't break 
     my heart
     and I won't break your
     heart-shaped glasses
     Little girl, little girl
     you should close your eyes
     That blue is getting me high
     making me low
     And she'll never cover up
     what we did
     with a dress
     no
     she said
     "kiss me, it will heal
     but it won't forget.
     kiss me, it will heal
     but it won't forget."
     And I don't mind you
     keeping me
     on pins and needles.
     If I could stick to you
     and you could
     stick me too.
     Don't break, don't break 
     my heart
     and I won't break your
     heart-shaped glasses
     Little girl, little girl
     you should close your eyes
     That blue is getting me high
     making me low

== Trivia ==
* According to [[Sean Beavan]] Manson initially wanted "[[Putting Holes in Happiness]]" to be the first single though the record company decided that "Heart-Shaped Glasses (When the Heart Guides the Hand)" was a more natural choice due to its radio friendly nature. But as speculated, the song was the second single for the album was indeed "Putting Holes in Happiness".
* Manson wrote "Heart-Shaped Glasses (When the Heart Guides the Hand)" after 19-year old girlfriend Evan Rachel Wood came to his house wearing heart-shaped glasses as seen on the movie poster for Stanley Kubrick's 1962 film, ''Lolita''.
* The main guitar riff resembles that of the [[David Bowie]] song "Ashes to Ashes" from his 1980 album ''Scary Monsters''. It is also noteworthy that Manson stated he had listened to ''Scary Monsters'' quite a few times while recording ''[[Eat Me, Drink Me]]''.
* The song's [[List of working titles for Marilyn Manson material|working title]] was simply "[[When the Heart Guides the Hand]]".
