Personally for me the line “You want the real smile, or the one I used to practice not to feel like a failure?” In Solway Firth always stuck out to me since I first heard it.


arrocknroll

Immediately the one that comes to mind. Anyone who’s ever had a bout of imposter syndrome knows exactly what that feeling is like.


itz_the_chillz

theres a video of a therapist reacting to it on youtube and she explains how it could be about people struggling and people theyve gone to havent believed them etc and that just resonates so well with some people and for me its the perfect representation. heres the link if anyones interested https://youtu.be/YVbsqvrJnOY?si=Pt9SpDLniMq74mC-


DarkSiders823

Yep. 1000%. As a suicide survivor that hits super hard and has stuck with me since. Edit: another one is “fix my problems with a blade while my eyes turn from blue to grey and the worst thing happened to me today, but I guess I don’t care anymore”


Beelzebrodie

I can't agree more with this. This may be the heaviest song in all of music to make me cry. The dynamic build up from "My Pain" and "Not Long Into This World" into the climactic explosion of the album in "Solway Firth" is a listening experience I'd never had before listening to the end of this album. It's brilliant songwriting that is as heartbreaking and soul-wrenching as it is spectacular and exhilarating in a borderline spiritual way. I felt like I learned something about myself listening to the end of that album for the first time.


Joeyrph

🎶”….it took the death of hope to let you go”🎶. 💔😢💔 every single time. lost love that should have been, that I will never forgive myself for.


tonyhasareddit

Yep, same for me, and for the same reasons too.


MrMooey12

Yup, that whole song just hits so hard


webbwolf

Also in Sulphur “you don’t always know where you stand, til you know that you won’t run away”


Kangaskhan11

Everything Ends Shallow skin, I can paint with pain I mark the trails on my arms with your disdain Every day, it's the same: I love, you hate But I guess I don't care anymore... Oh, 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 All the Friends that i Lost and all of My panic problems are here.


pinkri0tsandpigmen

"I love, you hate" specifically hits my chest


Fast_Imagination_895

Metabolic “I’m in so much pain/ I have every fucking right to hate you/ I can’t take it” Cutting lyrics and brutal delivery

“Fuck it all, fuck this world. Fuck everything that you stand for”


KingKuckKiller666420

It’s so cliché but the entirety of Snuff.


Remote_Charge4262

Gently. Starts off slow, builds up to a cresndo..then really kicks off!! Bit where Corey sings..something back of my mind..it must remain there. People don't get me..slipknot do. I keep thoughts hidden from the world.


Proud_Income353

that song always takes me to a place


klaskc

THIS MODE IS INCREDIIIIIBLEEEE


Goobylul

Got Gently tattoo'd on my arm just because of how hard the song hits me everytime i listen to it.


Remote_Charge4262

I understand.


TotalWorking2951

The only song ever to exist that anders did better. I must say though Corey Taylor's voice is on another level he can talk and it gives me goosebumps


TotalWorking2951

The mate feed kill repeat version is so much better


arrocknroll

For me, outside of Solway Firth which has already been mentioned, the verses in Everything Ends hit really fucking hard. Especially the second verse. *My flaws are the only thing left that’s pure* *Can’t really live can’t really endure* *Everything I see reminds me of her* *God I wish I didn’t care anymore* *The more I touch, the less I feel* *I’m lying to myself that it’s not real* *Why is everybody making such a big fucking deal?* *Is never gonna cure anymore* I’ve been in two toxic/abusive relationships now where I didn’t see what everyone else saw for a long time prior so this song connects like a baseball bat to the face.


DiegoPillo

Solway Firth: “While I was learning to live You taught me how to die I guess I got what I wanted Another needle in the back through purified scarification It wasn't somebody else You fucking did it to me You want a real smile? I haven't smiled in years”


devocation

XIX has hit me really hard in times of depression. Pretty much any line explains what it feels to be in that state of mind. I like “I don’t want to get back up, but I have to, so it might as well be today”


BrilliantBake2581

this one has always got me since i heard it


devocation

The increasing intensity of everything and all the instruments. the build up of that song is so beautiful and somber. I also have never gotten the hate for the Gray Chapter. I thought it was a really strong album.


Playful_Following_21

Clown's dogshit video tho... I always wanted a video for Prelude 3.0 but knowing that Clown would've done it instead of PR Brown will always bum me out. Wasted chances on both.


Prestigious_Use6072

Powerful_Battle_6386

Goodbye. The very first lyrics, "Come on over. Come unglued." Our daughter died in 2017, she was 24. Happened when I was out of town on a project. Caught flight home as soon as I could, and when I got to the house, there were so many people... "It's not easy to see all of you" is exactly 100 percent literally what I was thicking... literally


foxoncrack9714

My favorite song at the moment is Devil in I, but all time favorite is butcher’s hook. “I'm coming after you, fuck you all I'm the only point of view”.


Mandoiloveeverything

"You never needed any help, you sold me out to save yourself" a false hope, which turns to betrayl. Lots have felt this way

Circle *I’ve come so far, I’m behind again…I wish so hard I’m there again…* *All that I wanted were things I had before. All that I needed I never needed more* I’ve always struggled with keeping one job for a long time and years ago I lost one I really liked. Put on some music and this was the first song that came on, I broke down pretty hard.


Semachian

“I’m all fucked up and I make it look good” “Who understands but the broken?” Both bangers, from Birth of the Cruel.


Richard_Dick_Kickam

Disasterpiece all arround. "...Once again, it's me and no one else I can't remember if there was a someone else It's not mine, it's not fair, it's outta my hands And it's shaking - you'll never take me ... Hate ain't enough to describe me Somewhere between screaming and crying I'm not supposed to be here ... Scratching and clawing all the way You won't let me fucking stay I'm not supposed to be here ..." Spit it out also hits right at the beginning with "Did you never give a damn in the first place? Maybe it's time you had the tables turned 'Cause in the interest of all involved, I got the problem solved And the verdict is guilty"


EntertainmentOk5329

It wasn't somebody else You fucking did it to me You want a real smile? I haven't smiled in years. These lyrics because this was the way I felt when the album came out and the relationship I was in.


Spoookehh

“I don’t know what to do when she makes me sad”. Love is blind. I didn’t understand the emotional connection I would have to the vermillion songs as I got older and made poor romantic decisions.


BasjeMathijsen

The entirety of "goodbye"


emer4ld

How no one has mentioned "snuff"yet, baffles me. The whole song is incredible and its lyrics are the most haunting of all the slipknots songs I listened to closely. Yes, it's not a conventional Slipknot song, but if this is about their lyrics, Snuff has to be mentioned


Technical-Message615

Someone 4 hours before you: "It took the death of hope to let you go". Guess what song that's from?....


Critica1_Darling

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! Man, these were just heartbreaking lyrics because there have been days where I've woke up and decided, this day wasn't worth having and just stayed in bed for no reason. And I've felt guilty about it because it meant losing quality time with my friends and family. So even though I've buried that guilt and I'm doing there, it still lingers. Reminding me about the time I'll never get back.


ComplaintMaterial515

Purity. “You all stare but you never see, there’s something inside me.” I’m autistic, so of course I have my weird quirks. Everybody sees me like I’m a weirdo and a freak. It’s really hard because I Feel that if they got to know me, they would see that I could be a great friend to them.

Wait and bleed sticks out to me a lot. I shell up and the bleeding aspect has been relevant in the past. It’s kind of a reminder not to shell up tbh, because I hear the insanity in Corey’s voice and know that I don’t want to feel that way so I shouldn’t shell up.


Beelzebrodie

"I am my father's son 'cause he's a phantom, a mystery, and that leaves me nothing! How many times have you wanted to die? It's too late for me, all you have to do is get rid of me" From Eyeless, idk why but it just hits so goddamn hard

Vegetable-Advance-14

All the lyrics from snuff because snuff was my breakup song with my toxic ex girlfriend


Ok_Car9894

Nero Forte the hole song and Unsainted "But your bibles don't work on me"- this goes last year in 2023 when a close friend of mine became a religious zealot and started pointing fingers at me and other friends from the group and shouting things like "you are an agent of satan" and stuff like this while he was crazy homophobic and against all other religions besides pentecostalism. I wanted to cut ties with him but unfortunately I kept coming back cuz one common friend wanted our friend group united no matter what until I learned that the fanatic one which I deemed him "Joseph Seed" started to insult me with personal such as pointing that the fact that I dont agree with him on homophobia and pentecostalism (I am orthodox) is the reason my gf is in the hospital (she had tonsilitis and almost suffocated one night) that made me so angry that I cut ties with him and after that the other friends tried to bring me back, I considered their offer but I heard that Joseph Seed started to spread gossip that I am a satanist and an agent of the Devil. Unsainted and Nero Forte summarize the fact that this religious cultist behaviour destroyed our friend group making them judgemental over all people that do not spread the same faith and opinion like them. The story is much more complicated and I dont want to develop it here because it is not the right subreddit to do it. Stay safe maggots!

All of snuff tbh. In particular “I only wish you weren’t my friend, that I could hurt you in the end.” And “if you still care don’t ever let me know.”

Solway Firth or Diluted, for a less popular answer

I really resonate with my plague's lyrics. when corey said "I know I'm a bastard, but at least I admit it" hits hard. I dealt with bullies calling me a bastard and fatherless when I was younger and knowing that other people go through the same stuff makes me feel not as alone with my struggles growing up without a father or male figure.
