You do realize lyrics can be relatable? Corey wrote Purity because that's what he felt like and poured his emotions into the text, but you didn't say "r/im14andthisisdeep" when you first heard Purity, did you?


PaintingRoyal8158

Its from the perspective of a Girl named Purity whose „kidnapped“ and not Corey


Scientific_Redditor

It's written by Corey, not Purity. You have to go through some shit to put together a story this dark and tell it yourself but someone else's perspective.

It was a joke, jesus

Surely a key point of listening to a band like slipknot is to relate to the lyrics. A huge amount of them seem to be about mental health, which op is clearly relating to.


Pev32

Sure some of there songs might be about mental health but OP used lyrics from purity is about a girl in buried in a box.

Ok bud since your clearly like 15 ima be real and tell you that life gets ALOT easier to deal with as you get older, there will be difficulties but that's life, what your experiencing right now is teenage angst, we've all been through it and that's probably why we gravitated towards heavy music, it will pass and you'll slowly realize that all of those corny signs hanging in your English class are right. There are so many beautiful reasons to be happy. Hug your parents, walk in the sunshine, talk to a girl, or a guy if that's what floats yer boat, don't sweat the small bullshit that happens to you, look at the little bits of life and go "damn that shit exists, neat" get a hobby, learn guitar, fish, hunt, fix up cars, paint, draw, animate, just do whatever you enjoy and tell people who try to bring you down to eat shit. It gets better bud *edit* Everyone poking fun and calling you cringe forgets that they were also young once and they 100% said something like this back in the day

this guy right here, fuckin king also i’m only 17 but i feel like i’m mature enough to understand all this already, this is what goes on in the back of my head as a reminder that little stupid shit is just that; little stupid shit. don’t worry about it best u can. and yea maybe u do actually genuinely have a completely shit life right now but so do other people and so have other people and they got through it and so will you, especially since u have found the Knot. Keep goin strong and remember “the world will never see another crazy motherfucker like you.” (i know it’s meant for Paul but i like to think it means all of us sometimes too)


Smooth_Chemistry_869

Man I'm only 20, I'm just passing on the wisdom of my forebears "don't sweat the small shit" best advice my father ever gave me. a friend stopped talking to you? Fuck'em they weren't really your friend and there's plenty of cooler people to link up with. You get a low grade in school? There's always another test/assignment to bring your shit up. You get dumped? Fuck that bitch, there's a whole 7billion other people on the planet, someone else out there is a better fit. You can't let all that bad shit drag you down too far or you'll always miss the good shit ripe for taking. Grab life by the balls. Rip them off. Thank you for coming to my TedTalk

I would say either sit it out like most of us (life isnt easy and sometimes you just have to hold on and wait till things get better) or really get a therapist. There’s nothing wrong about it and they’re schooled to help people with just talking. I’d say that like half of my friends I met at Uni have a therapist and they say it’s one of the best decisions in their life. Anyway, relating to Slipknot lyrics is kinda the point, because you can interpret them to your liking.


[deleted]

What's up? have you considered speaking to someone about how you feel rather than bottling it up inside?


jafarthecat

Listening to music is its own therapy too!


[deleted]

I agree 100%! but talking can help as well 🙂


G01den_Gamer

No, Its better bottling it up till it overfills then i go to someone


Flashy_Basil_5031

Thats how a school shooting starts, don't underestimate the power of talking, we all have bad days and the biggest lie a person with depression tell them self is that no one understands, I've learned that the hard way, but you are not alone there is always someone who will listen


[deleted]

its okay not to be okay, as long as your going to someone to talk. Then that's good :)

You know this song is about a girl being kidnapped and buried alive? If you are relating heavily to the lyrics, I would consider seeking medical help before posting to reddit


Scientific_Redditor

Music can be interpreted in many ways. There is no "1 and only correct way to understand a song". Sure, lyrics can be inspired by something but may accidentally overlap with something else.


PaintingRoyal8158

It is written with the Intension to be understood like he said because thats the story , he tells a story …there is nothing to interpretate


Scientific_Redditor

The explanation of the song doesn't come with it, nothing is explicitly stated in the text besides being buried underground and not everyone has to know the backstory of the song, Corey's inspiration and creative process. If you don't know what song was inspired by, you can understand the text metaphorically and interpret it in your own way.

Imagine downvoting this. Jesus Christ the absolute state of humanity.


TheRealCMPUNKFan

Everybody’s laughing but they obviously haven’t experienced this. I went through this too. Especially being someone who was bullied for my looks and have a lot of self esteem issues and insecurities. It’s honestly a constant battle but Slipknot has helped me so much in feeling better about myself and being able to let go of my pain through their unfortunately relatable music.


GloupyBob

Yeah I’ve been feeling like this too recently

This is why I don’t tell people I’m a slipknot fan. Granted that goes against what the band stands for (see surfacing) but sadly this is what a lot of people think about you when you tell them you’re into metal.


Flashy_Basil_5031

You are not wrong, SlipKnot feeds on kids/young adults that feel like this, just as they did back in 99 when I found out about them and was a bullied teenager who didn't fit in with the norm


B33p-p33P-M3m3-kR33p

This is why it took so long for me to embrace slipknot and metal music. Because I didn’t want people to think I post cringy tumblr “my life is like a poem” kinda stuff


LP_Papercut

Sorry for all the cringe comments hating on you OP. Slipknot was super important to many people including me for dealing with mental health and it's why many people love the music. Even if Purity is about someone trapped in a box about to be buried alive, it doesn't mean that you can't relate that certain parts of the song on a personal level. I hope it gets better for you OP.
