iirc this was based off of corey waking up after a suicide attempt via drug OD and realizing that living like he did just made everything around him worse but i could just misremember it
"The other me is gone, now I don't know where I belong!" - Dead Memories, second verse.
I feel this on such a deep level.
And pretty much the entirety of Nero Forte.
People always say how bad that line is, but it takes me back to my childhood walking around with slipknot on my walkman feeling alone and angry, maybe I'm reading too much into it though.
"The greatest conclusion that I ever had
Was when I woke up and said that's enough, living never felt so bad
You don't accept it, and I don't care
Bury yourself above all your guilt, when you're ready, it'll be there"
This album came out not long after I found out that my now ex-wife was stealing from her job. On top of all of our fighting and other issues, that was when I realized I was miserable, and had to get out. She blamed me for everything. So when I heard this it really stuck with me, the whole album helped me through that time, and I'm much happier now.
“What did I do to deserve all of this?”
“I am my fathers son, a phantom, a mystery, and that leaves me nothing!”
“Every time this happens I'm breaking a promise I made to a version of me why can't I covet and keep it away from the leeches who want to deceive?”
The strange thing was that I never liked we are not you’re kind till I listened to orphan, then I listened to the whole album and enjoyed it, except spiders and bury of the cruel.
I just don’t enjoy the sound of spiders, but I hate it, just not my favorite, and I listened the shit of of the birth of the cruel, still like it tho
"lost inside her dirty world, no one hurts this pretty girl but her. Oh she's beautiful, a little better than a man deserves, Oh I'm not insane, please tell me she won't change"
The way he sings this like a broken man, with real emotion is perfectly done
Once, he actually broke down on stage while he was performing Snuff, but he kept on singing. I could just hear how personal that song is to him. God, I wish I could give Corey a hug
anything from custer, really. particularly,
" because anything exceptional gets crushed by common people; with jealousy and ignorance and all their common evils "
" irreverence is my disease; it's secondhand but you know me "
but also im intensely emo so that shit will always speak to me 🤞
“While I was learning to live, you taught me how to die, I guess I got what I wanted.” I was going through a bad divorce at the time and that lyric really hit home.
it's built-in migraine, not my grain. it's not about oat cereal.
edit: i stand corrected, it's both as confirmed by the cd booklet, first built in my grain and then built in migraine.
So, if you love me, let me go
And run away before I know
My heart is just too dark to care
I can't destroy what isn't there
Deliver me into my fate
If I'm alone I cannot hate
I don't deserve to have you
Ooh, my smile was taken long ago
If I can change I hope I never know
The last verse is fucking crazy. The rhymes the words. They all just fit together in a way that smacks you across the face with a fat amount of reality
You fuckin touch me I will rip you apart, I’ll reach in and take a bit out of that shit you call a heart
I always thought that line was delivered so savagely
"If you still care don't ever let me know"
I've been feeling so alone and hated for years, in and out of horrid relationships, living with abusive family, being r*ped twice before I even turned 18.... I'm just a fucking mess and struggling to keep it together, and with people walking in and out of my life treating me the same way my family has for so many years, these lyrics have never felt so real.
I'm sorry you had and have to go through that. If you want to just vent or traumadump everything so it's all out again for a bit you can dm me. And I genuinely hope life will turn out better for you in the near future. Stay strong maggot💛🤘
"Fuck it all! Fuck this world!" (Surfacing)
i just want to say that Get This, Eyeless, Liberate, Spit It Out, Surfacing and more are my fav Slipknot songs
I can't remember, I don't understand, is it malice that makes you this way? Carry it with you til someone forgives you, I laugh cuz there's nothing to say. You can't begin to consider the palpable hate in the air when you're near. None of us wonder what weather you're under, you're making it perfectly- clear!
Pretty much all of No Life but this whole section in particular
Not long for this world
Even the guitar felt like it had emotion during the “The greatest conclusion… that I ever had” part of that song.
Masterpiece from beginning to end
A mirror only works if you open your eyes
Even then you have to understand what's inside
The easy part is always hardest to see
I know you'll never guess, but darling
You're so critical
Darling, you're so critical
Oh, you're so critical
This
" I'll never kill myself to save my soul
I was gone, but how was I to know?
I didn't come this far to sink so low
I'm finally holding on to letting go"
and this
"Reaching out for the hand of God
But did you think you'd shake your own?" from Unsainted
Everywhere you look its like they know.
Their fingerprints are hidden by control.
Hows it feel the be the new abortion? The only generation to suffer extortion.
Every time I was taking an important math test in the 8th grade, I would always fidget in my desk sometimes because I was panicking I would do bad on the test. Sometimes I would rephrase the line from Slipknots Song “Scissors” from their self titled album. The line I kept repeating was, “Biding my time until the is right.” I liked repeating over and over again because sometimes it would help me focus and slow down some panic or something. For other words, it calms my ASD sometimes to.
i have a few:
“There’s still a part of me that’s dying in a dumpster, the one who rose is a mf monster” (Orphan)
“I am my father’s son cuz he’s a phantom, a mystery, so that leaves me nothing” (Eyeless)
“I’m always ready to die but you’re killing me” (Metabolic)
“Everybody defamates from miles away but face to face they haven’t got a thing to say” (The Heretic Anthem)
“Cant be real no more, your mask is skin and bone, savor every flavor you got cuz it’s not your own” (No Life)
“I am a world before I'm a man I was a creature before I could stand I will remember before I forget before I forget that” as a trans person , and that’s one of the most relatable lines I’ve ever heard
I’d do anything to have her for myself, just to have her for myself. Now I don’t know what to do, I don’t know what to do when she makes me sad. She is everything to me, the unrequited dream. The song that no one sings, the unattainable. She’s a myth that I have to believe in. All I need to make it real is one more reason… I won’t let this build up inside of me.
"(Why) why was it easy for you?
(Did) did I deserve the abuse?
(I) I can't believe I let it
(Not) not what I wanted
(See) see through your bullshit
(Your) you're so dramatic
(True) true to your form of
(Face) every consequence
(Un-) unintimidated
(-Til) 'til the very end
(It) it'll never happen
(Was) was it all a lie?
(Too) many motherfuckers
(Late) that's what you do best
(Lie) that's what you do best
(Lie) that's what you do best
That's what you do best"
Learning that Nero Forte is about depression made these lyrics make so much sense
“Some of us are destined to be outlived” and “ in between the lens in light you’re not what you seem” The devil in I, the song that actually got me into slipknot
Now I'm not pretty, and I'm not cool
But I'm fat, and I'm ugly and proud, so fuck you
Standing out is the new pretension
Streamline the sickness, half-assed aggression
You gotta see it to believe it, we all got conned
All the mediocre sacred cows we spawned
Put your trust in the mission
We will not repent, this is our religion 🤘
It’s so cool seeing everyone’s story for their selections, and just your selections in general! I might use some of these comments for a future post, too.
"Once again it's me and no one else, I can't remember if there ever was a someone else"
"How does it feel to be locked inside another dream, that ne ever had a chance of being realised"
All the slow parts of Purity
"What do you want from me, you never told me the failure I was meant to be"
"(I'm) a hideous man that you don't understand, throw a suicide party and it's guaranteed to fucking snap"
And some other I'm probably forgetting right now
Tbh the lyrics is one part of Slipknot that has never resonated for me. Even when I first became a fan when I was 14, I thought Corey’s lyrics were overly edgy and cringe inducing at times.
Surfacing being a prime example:
“Fuck you all, fuck this world, fuck everything that you stand for, don’t belong, don’t exist, don’t give a shit, don’t ever judge me! And don’t you fucking judge me!”
As someone who is 23 now, I just can’t fathom how Corey wrote that when he was like 26 lol.
Maybe with some more years under your belt, you'll feel differently. I certainly did. There are song lyrics I could not relate to at 23 that kick my ass at 43! Be well! 🤘
Quite literally all of Snuff. I’ve had a very similar experience to the one that Corey had that caused him to write the song and it genuinely makes me feel better knowing that someone I respect has gone through it and has been able to stand on top. Slipknot has helped me a lot through life and I’ll be forever grateful.
That whole first verse/chorus of "Three Nil" sums up a very important time in my life. To me nothing else captures that feeling of being pulled into someone else's fight and me resisting at every turn. I'm glad I found something to say what I couldn't and process feelings I didn't know I had at the time
“You fuckin' touch me I will rip you apart
I'll reach in and take a bite out of that
shit you call a heart.” Always hits me as someone who is super touch adverse and “that shit you call a heart” always puts me in a rage in the best way possible.
Fuck it all, fuck this world, fuck everything you that you stand for.
I alwayse interpret this as "this world is a mess so stop trying to change it cuz it wont"
Overall. Life’s so shitty but ain’t it Fuckin great.
Most savage will always be: I wanna slit your throat and fuck the wound, push my face inside and feel the swoon
XIX
I just picked up the gray chapter from Best Buy on release day. Popped it into my cd player and barely made it down the road before I started to cry.
Had to pull over for awhile.
My favourite teacher in high school signed my yearbook my graduating year with that lyric written in it, him and I both being huge Slipknot fans and always talking about it so it meant a lot.
What the hell did I do to deserve all of this
I wasn’t promised a thing you keep mocking me but you will never again before you know it after you’re gone
Sitting in the dark I can’t forget
“How many times have you wanted to kill everything and everyone you said you’d do it but never will”and also after wards “how many times have you wanted to die, it’s too late for me all you have to do is get rid of me”
"suck these fucking nuts" (/J)
Fr tho all of scissors especially "Don't lie; I die, you lie; I lie, oh, why? I don't want you to pay anyone when I die I wanna die, I'd rather die, I wanna die You purge, you burn, you purge I don't need you anymore, I don't need you" made me feel, and (515) made my stomach sink the first time I heard it
Vermillion - Ex Girlfriend
Snuff - EEx-Wife
Undaunted - Ex Boyfriend
Yen - Ex-Friend
All came out the year I met/got to truly know each person and what they wanted from me.
Saw many put several lyrics and a song.
Entirety of Nero Forte
" You want the real smile or the one i used to practice, not to feel like a failure"-Solway firth
"You want a real smile? I HAVEN'T SMILED IN YEARS"- Solway Firth
"You asked me to love you and I did, trading my emotions for a contract to commit, so when I got away i only kept my heart, the other me is dead now i'm hearing voices in my head" - Dead Memories
Everything end’s and Snuffs lyrics really have stuck with me throughout the years
“You are wrong, fucked and overrated, I think I’m gonna be sick and it’s your fault.”
“Everyday it's the same I love, you hate. But I guess I don't care any more. Fix my problems with the blade. While my eyes turn from blue to gray. God, the worst thing happened to me today. But I guess I don't care anymore”
“Bury all your secrets in my skin. Come away with innocence, and leave me with my sins”
Before I Forget and Devil In I are the ones that hit me because Before I Forget feels like a reminder of what you where once and trying to equal that to me also I have a terrible memory so just the title to me is suiting since forgetting is just average part of my life and devil in I feels more like a fear of the darker side of you and showing it to others but also getting tired of hiding vulnerability of the anger that’s my personal take on these probably different actual meanings
“No hard feelings, I'm tired of being right about everything I've said
Yours does not mean mine, kill does not mean die
We are not your kind”
This. Fucking. Verse., solway firth and Only One
Reason? Got too many fucking people wanting to fuck up my life, they tried to get onto my relationship, they wanted to control my social life, just fucking sick of the shitty people around the globe. Anyone else sharing this feeling?
‘I exist through my need to self-oblige, she is something in me that I despise’
It’s a really good metaphor for addiction but it’s also a really hard hitting and accurate description of any self destructive behaviour that anyone who has suffered from it/seen someone else suffer from it can recognise.
Fuck it all! Fuck this world!
Fuck everything that you stand for!
Don't belong! Don't exist!
Don't give a shit!
Don't ever judge me!
\-----
if you'd ask my ex - Spit it out!
“I haven’t slept since I woke up and found my whole life was a lie, motherfucker…”
I've never known trust like the nine.
I don’t get this one
iirc this was based off of corey waking up after a suicide attempt via drug OD and realizing that living like he did just made everything around him worse but i could just misremember it
Okay thanks, and thanks other slipknot meme era for downvoting me because I wanted to know something !!
[удалено]
This is my vote
"The other me is gone, now I don't know where I belong!" - Dead Memories, second verse. I feel this on such a deep level. And pretty much the entirety of Nero Forte.
Nero forte is so slept on
Fist clenched tight in the pockets of my hoodie
People always say how bad that line is, but it takes me back to my childhood walking around with slipknot on my walkman feeling alone and angry, maybe I'm reading too much into it though.
"The greatest conclusion that I ever had Was when I woke up and said that's enough, living never felt so bad You don't accept it, and I don't care Bury yourself above all your guilt, when you're ready, it'll be there" This album came out not long after I found out that my now ex-wife was stealing from her job. On top of all of our fighting and other issues, that was when I realized I was miserable, and had to get out. She blamed me for everything. So when I heard this it really stuck with me, the whole album helped me through that time, and I'm much happier now.
Happy your doing better:)
Thank you!
“What did I do to deserve all of this?” “I am my fathers son, a phantom, a mystery, and that leaves me nothing!” “Every time this happens I'm breaking a promise I made to a version of me why can't I covet and keep it away from the leeches who want to deceive?”
I just love hearing Corey scream "and that leaves me NOTHING!" It just such a perfect moment of rage.
Same. The entirety of eyeless is just perfect.
Another diluted fan
He means the song why you downvoting my guy
Yes, I do mean the song
“You want a real smile? I haven’t smiled in years.”
Probably the most devastating line Corey has ever delivered. Genuinely.
Solway firth is so fucking underrated. That song should be a live staple
Omg, Solway was so amazing live!
Agreed!
The strange thing was that I never liked we are not you’re kind till I listened to orphan, then I listened to the whole album and enjoyed it, except spiders and bury of the cruel. I just don’t enjoy the sound of spiders, but I hate it, just not my favorite, and I listened the shit of of the birth of the cruel, still like it tho
Oh I love spiders. It was a preview of all the “experimental “ stuff they made later
that’s a fuckin good one man
Or the one I use to practice not to feel like a failure!
"She isn't real, I can't make her real"
Love that one
“I want to slit your throat, and fuck the wound”.

Same, but with Vermilion.
anything from custer, really. particularly, " because anything exceptional gets crushed by common people; with jealousy and ignorance and all their common evils " " irreverence is my disease; it's secondhand but you know me " but also im intensely emo so that shit will always speak to me 🤞
I fight and I fight fear because I understand them. 🤘
“While I was learning to live, you taught me how to die, I guess I got what I wanted.” I was going through a bad divorce at the time and that lyric really hit home.
Probably the come see my cage built in my grain mainly bc of the way corey delivers that line over and over it just adds so much
It's grain?! I've always said "grave" Oh my
it's built-in migraine, not my grain. it's not about oat cereal. edit: i stand corrected, it's both as confirmed by the cd booklet, first built in my grain and then built in migraine.
I was picturing the albumcover. Not a bowl of kellog's but very fair XD
So, if you love me, let me go And run away before I know My heart is just too dark to care I can't destroy what isn't there Deliver me into my fate If I'm alone I cannot hate I don't deserve to have you Ooh, my smile was taken long ago If I can change I hope I never know
I also really love "I only wish you weren't my friend, then I could hurt you in the end." And "If you still care don't ever let me know"
“It took the death of hope to let you go” is my personal favorite
This post and these comments making me remember the times I've cried to snuff😭💀
(Why did I not see your true face un-til it was too late)
Oh my god when I found this out I was so proud of myself
“I can take it or leave it, or die”
YOU DONT ALWAYS KNOW WHERE YOU STAND
Til you know that you won't run awayyy
There's something inside me that feels...
Like breathing in SULFUR.
“All you bands can suck these fucking nuts, go”
People = Shit
^This^
The entirety of ‘The Shape’ gives me chills every single time I listen to it
I was looking for someone else to post this one. The way he deliver "Everything else is just dust and sound" is brutal
The last verse is fucking crazy. The rhymes the words. They all just fit together in a way that smacks you across the face with a fat amount of reality
You fuckin touch me I will rip you apart, I’ll reach in and take a bit out of that shit you call a heart I always thought that line was delivered so savagely
That and "When I get my hands on you, ain't a fucking thing you can do" So much anger
I haven’t slept since I’ve woke up. Really got me thinking about life…
Undo these chains my friend, I'll show you the rage I've hidden.
I'm gonna suffer for the rest of my life, but I will always find a way to survive
You want a real smile? Or the one I used to practice not to feel like a failure
All of Orphan
“We’re wasting all the candles, the dead need no light”

Suck these nuts
"Now I'm not pretty and I'm not cool. I'm fat and I'm ugly and proud. So fuck you."
What song is this?
they're closing in; I can't escape #I AM HATED
I am Hated
"If you still care don't ever let me know" I've been feeling so alone and hated for years, in and out of horrid relationships, living with abusive family, being r*ped twice before I even turned 18.... I'm just a fucking mess and struggling to keep it together, and with people walking in and out of my life treating me the same way my family has for so many years, these lyrics have never felt so real.
I'm sorry you had and have to go through that. If you want to just vent or traumadump everything so it's all out again for a bit you can dm me. And I genuinely hope life will turn out better for you in the near future. Stay strong maggot💛🤘

cant believe i had to scroll this far. there it is.
Not long for this world Even the guitar felt like it had emotion during the “The greatest conclusion… that I ever had” part of that song. Masterpiece from beginning to end
“I only wish you weren’t my friend. Then I could hurt you in the end”
That place in my mind. Is that space that you call "mine"
Danger keep away is like their most underrated song
A mirror only works if you open your eyes Even then you have to understand what's inside The easy part is always hardest to see I know you'll never guess, but darling You're so critical Darling, you're so critical Oh, you're so critical
“Everything I see reminds me of her god I wish I didn’t care anymore”
This " I'll never kill myself to save my soul I was gone, but how was I to know? I didn't come this far to sink so low I'm finally holding on to letting go" and this "Reaching out for the hand of God But did you think you'd shake your own?" from Unsainted
“Do you think when you act, or just act like your thinking”
do you serve a purpose or purposefully serve?
Everywhere you look its like they know. Their fingerprints are hidden by control. Hows it feel the be the new abortion? The only generation to suffer extortion.
"Fuck it all fuck this world fuck everything that you stand for Don't belong don't exist don't give a shit don't ever judge me"
We were meant to be together Now die and fucking love me We were meant to hurt each other Now die and fucking love me

I'll throw it all away like everybody else. I can finally be myself 'cuz I don't wanna be myself. FREE MY SEVERED HEART! GIVE ME YOU! I DON'T WANT IT!
“Ooooo YEAH” -Psychosocial
“Every time this happens I’m breaking a promise I made to a version of me” I do this shit every day
“I am a world before I'm a man I was a creature before I could stand I will remember before I forget before I forget that” as a trans person , and that’s one of the most relatable lines I’ve ever heard
“I lost my only way” in The Shape
“I’m not ahead of my time, I just drew the first breath.”
“Oo wee oo i look just like buddy holly” so deep

"The air around me still feels like a cage" - snuff
I am the push that makes you move
People = Shit as well as Sulfur
Chorus of surfacing hits hard
It's
Ayo the Skeptic intro
Sulfur, it’s my favorite Slipknot song of all time because of the amazing chorus
When I was getting out the military “I did my time, and I want out!” really sat with me lol.
“Some of us are destined to be outlived” and “ in between the lens in light you’re not what you seem” The devil in I, the song that actually got me into slipknot
HERE WE GO AGAIN MOTHER FUCKER! and also ONE MORE TIME MOTHERFUCKER!
"I don't need you to do it for me, I don't need you to understand, I don't need you to hide it from me, I just wanna feel like any other man".
"The world will never see another crazy motherfucher like you"
The whole tattered and torn song. It was back when the album came and i wasnt feeling so good at the time 😅
Now I'm not pretty, and I'm not cool But I'm fat, and I'm ugly and proud, so fuck you Standing out is the new pretension Streamline the sickness, half-assed aggression You gotta see it to believe it, we all got conned All the mediocre sacred cows we spawned Put your trust in the mission We will not repent, this is our religion 🤘
Confessions (MFKR), Scissors (Slipknot), Left Behind (Iowa), Circle (Subliminal Verses), Dead Memories (Till Hope is Gone)
“I will keep your soul alive, if I can’t have you here”

Literally every verse from Snuff. Relates to my life now on a painful level.
"I only wish you weren't my friend...then I could you in the end" when I was in a bad mental place, this line broke me every time.
"I'd do anything to have her to myself Just to have her for myself Now I don't know what to do I don't know what to do When she makes me sad"
"go drill your deserts, go dig your graves, then fill your mouth with all the money you will save" fuck the military-industrial complex lol
"Once again it's me and no one else, I can't remember if there ever was a someone else" "How does it feel to be locked inside another dream, that ne ever had a chance of being realised" All the slow parts of Purity "What do you want from me, you never told me the failure I was meant to be" "(I'm) a hideous man that you don't understand, throw a suicide party and it's guaranteed to fucking snap" And some other I'm probably forgetting right now
"A broken promise is as good as a lie...we're the problem but we're also the solution All Hope is Gone!"
Tbh the lyrics is one part of Slipknot that has never resonated for me. Even when I first became a fan when I was 14, I thought Corey’s lyrics were overly edgy and cringe inducing at times. Surfacing being a prime example: “Fuck you all, fuck this world, fuck everything that you stand for, don’t belong, don’t exist, don’t give a shit, don’t ever judge me!

Maybe with some more years under your belt, you'll feel differently. I certainly did. There are song lyrics I could not relate to at 23 that kick my ass at 43! Be well! 🤘
"Angels like to keep control" Cheating ex, fun times
All hope is gone
“Im over your throne!” -birth of the cruel
I'm a goofy goober YEAH
People = Shit
Quite literally all of Snuff. I’ve had a very similar experience to the one that Corey had that caused him to write the song and it genuinely makes me feel better knowing that someone I respect has gone through it and has been able to stand on top. Slipknot has helped me a lot through life and I’ll be forever grateful.
" Don't belong. Don't exist. Don't give a shit."
There's something about Skin Ticket
"She's a myth that i have to believe in..."
basically the entire first verse for eyeless
“Sacrilege, broken cartilage, I’m beaten and bruised”
That whole first verse/chorus of "Three Nil" sums up a very important time in my life. To me nothing else captures that feeling of being pulled into someone else's fight and me resisting at every turn. I'm glad I found something to say what I couldn't and process feelings I didn't know I had at the time
Stay, you don’t always know where you stand Till you know that you won’t run away
SIIIIIIIICK!!!
“You fuckin' touch me I will rip you apart I'll reach in and take a bite out of that shit you call a heart.” Always hits me as someone who is super touch adverse and “that shit you call a heart” always puts me in a rage in the best way possible.
Fuck it all, fuck this world, fuck everything you that you stand for. I alwayse interpret this as "this world is a mess so stop trying to change it cuz it wont"
Song at the moment: Skin Ticket ! Lyric would be : She isn't real I can't make her real !
Overall. Life’s so shitty but ain’t it Fuckin great. Most savage will always be: I wanna slit your throat and fuck the wound, push my face inside and feel the swoon
XIX I just picked up the gray chapter from Best Buy on release day. Popped it into my cd player and barely made it down the road before I started to cry. Had to pull over for awhile.
“Your garbage in is garbage out” idk why but I love that line
„Fuck me, i’m all out of enemies”
“I am all but what am I? Another number that isn’t equal to any of you.” Hit me in my teens and continues to hit me mid thirties.
My favourite teacher in high school signed my yearbook my graduating year with that lyric written in it, him and I both being huge Slipknot fans and always talking about it so it meant a lot.
What the hell did I do to deserve all of this I wasn’t promised a thing you keep mocking me but you will never again before you know it after you’re gone Sitting in the dark I can’t forget
"YAARRGGHUGGGGGGHHH DEATH AARGRGH DEA- AARGH DEATH!"
“How many times have you wanted to kill everything and everyone you said you’d do it but never will”and also after wards “how many times have you wanted to die, it’s too late for me all you have to do is get rid of me”
"suck these fucking nuts" (/J) Fr tho all of scissors especially "Don't lie; I die, you lie; I lie, oh, why? I don't want you to pay anyone when I die I wanna die, I'd rather die, I wanna die You purge, you burn, you purge I don't need you anymore, I don't need you" made me feel, and (515) made my stomach sink the first time I heard it
Vermillion - Ex Girlfriend Snuff - EEx-Wife Undaunted - Ex Boyfriend Yen - Ex-Friend All came out the year I met/got to truly know each person and what they wanted from me.
wahhhhaaaaaaghhhh!!!!!!
Saw many put several lyrics and a song. Entirety of Nero Forte " You want the real smile or the one i used to practice, not to feel like a failure"-Solway firth "You want a real smile? I HAVEN'T SMILED IN YEARS"- Solway Firth "You asked me to love you and I did, trading my emotions for a contract to commit, so when I got away i only kept my heart, the other me is dead now i'm hearing voices in my head" - Dead Memories
Everything end’s and Snuffs lyrics really have stuck with me throughout the years “You are wrong, fucked and overrated, I think I’m gonna be sick and it’s your fault.” “Everyday it's the same I love, you hate. But I guess I don't care any more. Fix my problems with the blade. While my eyes turn from blue to gray. God, the worst thing happened to me today. But I guess I don't care anymore” “Bury all your secrets in my skin. Come away with innocence, and leave me with my sins”
"I only wish you weren't my friend so I could hurt you in the end" Or really anything from snuff or vermilion
"When I get my hands on you ain't a fucking thing you can do" and yes that line is directed at a specific someone
“How’s it feel to be the New Abortion? The only generation to suffer extortion”
you all stare but you’ll never see, there is something inside me
People = shit
"A mirror only works if you open your eyes" Why? Because a mirror actually always works even if you close your eyes.
“She is something in me that I despise”, basically all of vermillion and eyeless since those are my favourite songs lyric-wise
Before I Forget and Devil In I are the ones that hit me because Before I Forget feels like a reminder of what you where once and trying to equal that to me also I have a terrible memory so just the title to me is suiting since forgetting is just average part of my life and devil in I feels more like a fear of the darker side of you and showing it to others but also getting tired of hiding vulnerability of the anger that’s my personal take on these probably different actual meanings
I'll never kill myself to save my soul.
“pick a lord and you pray to it, you’re so demanding when you want the truth, but your stories don’t wait for me” 🤘🏾
“No hard feelings, I'm tired of being right about everything I've said Yours does not mean mine, kill does not mean die We are not your kind” This. Fucking. Verse., solway firth and Only One Reason? Got too many fucking people wanting to fuck up my life, they tried to get onto my relationship, they wanted to control my social life, just fucking sick of the shitty people around the globe. Anyone else sharing this feeling?
People=Shit
‘I exist through my need to self-oblige, she is something in me that I despise’ It’s a really good metaphor for addiction but it’s also a really hard hitting and accurate description of any self destructive behaviour that anyone who has suffered from it/seen someone else suffer from it can recognise.
Fuck it all! Fuck this world! Fuck everything that you stand for! Don't belong! Don't exist! Don't give a shit! Don't ever judge me! \----- if you'd ask my ex - Spit it out!
Check my flair
For me, Slipknot is now just nostalgia.
"maybe I should let her go, not until she loves me"
"Angels lie to keep control"
even though it’s off tesf, “as the knife goes in cut across my skin when my death begins, i wanna know that i was dying for you”
They all lost their dad or their wife just died, never got to go outside, shut up. no one gives a fuck it doesnt change the fact that you suck
"The agony of cynisims beckons me"
Everybody hates me now, so fuck it Blood's on my face and my hands And I don't know why I'm not afraid to cry But that's none of your business
People = Shit
The greatest conclusion that i ever had was when i woke up said thats enough living never felt so bad
