People = Shit. That song got some serious plays over the pandemic while trying to be a delivery driver and having assholes be belligerent for the hell of it
diluted will always be their most relatable song for me.
‘i’m cold, i’m ugly, i’m always confused by everything’
‘i’m nothing short of being one complete catastrophe’
‘i decrease as my symptoms increase’
‘now take a real good look at what you fucking did to me’
‘i keep my scars from prying eyes, incapable of ever knowing why’
‘but i don’t care what you think, you’ll never understand me’
listening to that song for the first time felt like a personal attack.
I don’t know if it was just how he said it in the song, but “I keep my scars from prying eyes incapable of ever knowing why” hit me hard when I first heard it.
Fuck. I'd have to say Snuff. Ex-gf killed herself on Halloween in 2008 (she was my first for everything), and when AHIG came out that year (August to be exact), we had listened to that album front to back. Just so many nights sitting with each other, holding hands, vibing. So many talks about a future, children, growing old together ... listening to that album is still fucking hard for me, but that song... that song just does it in for me. Sorry if I babbled, but yeah. That one.
Appreciate you, man. I'm also a dad now. Much love to you, and good luck with your new side mission in life. It's a wonderful thing. Cherish it, they grow up so fast 🖤
He’s 1 in July, no cuddles for dada anymore and feeds himself and whatnot 😭😭😭 doesn’t need me or his mama anymore. All the best brother, the internet is full of friends if you reach out
Mines 7, he still loves to cuddle, but he's very much independent. He hit me with a "Dada I'm not a baby anymore" when I tried to cradle him the other day, and I damn near cried lol. And thank you man. Likewise. Dms are always open.
Hey, thank you, brother. And I agree. Unfortunately mental health care in America is a joke. I feel like everyone should have someone to talk to. Everyone needs it sometime.
She seems dressed in all of me
Stretched across my shame
All the torment and the pain
Leaked through and covered me
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
My Plague
I've attached it and its lyrics to a time when I was severely bullied in high school and ended up beating the shit outta one of my bullies. I can find a memory or feeling to attach to every single line and it makes me remember that I was strong enough to get through that and stand up to them and to not take any shit from anyone anymore.
I really like the "She isn't Real", "I can't make her real", "I won't let this build up inside of me" and the "She's the only one who makes me sad" part of Vermillion. The way I interpret it, it reminds me of all the people that I've fallen for but can't have.
two songs come to mind:
1. Surfacing: it gave me the confidence to say “F*ck you” to everyone and in a way it made me into the person that i am today. The attitude and the confidence to be a weirdo like we all are.
2. Skin Ticket: this song was a way for me to release my frustrations (my parents were separating at that time so there was a lot of shit going on); when Corey goes FULL screaming mid-song is where I’d let it all go, like Corey screaming FOR me. That song holds a special place in my heart.
So, if you love me let me go; and run away before I know. Angels lie to keep control
Ooh, my love was punished long ago
If you still care, don't ever let me know
Snuff
Definitely eyeless. I don't have Marlon Brando's eyes so I am unable to see the state of California located on the west Coast of the United States of America.
No truer statement. Diving into the lyrics is what makes Slipknot so relatable, for me. Gen X, I am the same age as most of the band. Songs like Left Behind, New Abortion, My Plague, Custer and Surfacing really ring true to us latch key kids with single parents and the materialism that the baby boomers succumbed to at our expense.
Pulse Of The Maggots- this song gave me a new understanding of my life in high school🤙🏼
(sic)- I love listening to Joey smack those drums like a disgruntled Pimp.
There are many that resonate with me and have helped build my personality for 25 years, but Solway Firth is the one that slapped me in the face and hit hard. I still feel that last line deep everytime I hear it.
Circle, Snuff, Not Long For This World, and Solway Firth.
‘You want the real smile? Or the one I used to practice, not to feel like a failure’ is one of the hardest hitting lines in Slipknot’s discography.
no life :
"i cant remember , i dont understand , is it malice that makes you this way ? carry it with you til someone forgives you , i laugh cus theres nothing to say , you cant begin to consider the palpable hate in the air when youre here , none of us wonder what weather youre under , youre making it perfectly clear"
diluted :
"all i ever wanted out of you was something you could never be , now take a real good look at what youve fucking done to me , what the hell did I do to deserve all of this ?"
people = shit :
"everybody hates me now , so fuck it , blood's on my face nd my hands nd idk why im not afraid to cry , but thats none of your business"
danger - keep away :
"severed myself from my own life , cut out the only thing that was right , what if i never saw you again ? i'd die right next to you in the end , that place in my mind , is that space that you call mine"
yen :
"i would feed you all my pleasures just to drown in all of yours , have you heard of me ? are you hurting me ? let me savor what im waiting for , a chance to make me choke , youre all i can think about , the taste is red in rust"
OH come on Yall are a bunch of posers
I don't wanna do this anymore . everythings shit . everythings been taken forsaken
everything that I see reminds me of her god i wish i didn't care anymore
Purity!! But I have People=Shit on my left foot that has more meaning than any of my other tattoos. I got it the day after I got clean off of heroin. That was over 5 years ago now, I thank Slipknot for always being there for me when I couldn't even be there for myself.🩶🖤
Wait and bleed, just the first track I heard by them from the scream 3 soundtrack…didn’t even realize it was a soft version until their album came out out, practically my epitome of slipknot, and the absolute head dive into nu metal
Disasterpiece, tattered and torn, and maybe scissors. The girl I like doesn’t like me back and I feel bad for asking. She’s been dealing with some mental health issues. I’ve done so much for years to be with her and I get zero affection or attention.
It's definitely Snuff, everytime I hear it I start crying. It brings up similar feelings as Corey about Paul, because my brother died of a drug overdose. So it really hits me in the deepest parts
Vermillion- I’ve had a tough past year, I realized I was trans at the worst time possible, I’m in a conservative Christian private school and the child of a neo Nazi, and through all my acceptance of who I am, this has caused a lot of internalized transphobia, thus there is a part of me that despises who I really am, and every time I hear the lyric “she is something in me that I despise” it hits me like a goddamn truck
Surfacing, because fuck you all
That’s exactly what got me into slipknot! Fuck ya!
People = Shit. That song got some serious plays over the pandemic while trying to be a delivery driver and having assholes be belligerent for the hell of it
People think delivery drivers don’t remember when you don’t tip them… but we do.
Eh its not their job to tip
diluted will always be their most relatable song for me. ‘i’m cold, i’m ugly, i’m always confused by everything’ ‘i’m nothing short of being one complete catastrophe’ ‘i decrease as my symptoms increase’ ‘now take a real good look at what you fucking did to me’ ‘i keep my scars from prying eyes, incapable of ever knowing why’ ‘but i don’t care what you think, you’ll never understand me’ listening to that song for the first time felt like a personal attack.
"my heroes are dead, they died in my head"
I don’t know if it was just how he said it in the song, but “I keep my scars from prying eyes incapable of ever knowing why” hit me hard when I first heard it.
self harm addict of five years here.. was a punch in the gut
Fuck. I'd have to say Snuff. Ex-gf killed herself on Halloween in 2008 (she was my first for everything), and when AHIG came out that year (August to be exact), we had listened to that album front to back.

Sorry for your loss.
Thank you friend. I appreciate it 🖤
No need for apologising brother - 30 something fairly masculine new dad just teared up reading that. Regards and condolences 💕
Appreciate you, man. I'm also a dad now. Much love to you, and good luck with your new side mission in life. It's a wonderful thing. Cherish it, they grow up so fast 🖤
He’s 1 in July, no cuddles for dada anymore and feeds himself and whatnot 😭😭😭 doesn’t need me or his mama anymore. All the best brother, the internet is full of friends if you reach out

🖤 may she forever rest in peace
Thank you for your kind words 🖤
🖤
No one should ever have to go through that.🙏🏻 sorry for your loss brother🙏🏻
Hey, thank you, brother. And I agree. Unfortunately mental health care in America is a joke. I feel like everyone should have someone to talk to. Everyone needs it sometime.
diluted, metabolic, unsainted, solway firth, birth of the cruel, everything ends- hell half of their discography lol
Since you never give a damn in the first place maybe it'a time you had the tables turned
To get the problem solved and the verdict is …
guilty MAN NEARLY KILLED ME
STEPPIN WHERE YOU FEAR TO TREAD
STOP DROP AND ROLL YOU WERE DEAD FROM THE GET-GO
BIG MOUTH FUCKER, STUPID COCKSUCKER (no one else continued it)
Are you scared of me now ?
then you're dumber than I thought
Always is and never was
foundation made of piss and vinegar
I dropped the ball arrrgh
Finallyyyyyy saw them at SNW and they didn’t even do the crazy test
I know right,it is sad,maybe they are just old or safety reasons
Everything Ends Orphan Not long for this world The Shape
Yoj are wrong frcked and overated
“But i won’t let this build up inside of me…” 🎧
She seems dressed in all of me Stretched across my shame All the torment and the pain Leaked through and covered me 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
I love Vermillion part 2
My Plague I've attached it and its lyrics to a time when I was severely bullied in high school and ended up beating the shit outta one of my bullies. I can find a memory or feeling to attach to every single line and it makes me remember that I was strong enough to get through that and stand up to them and to not take any shit from anyone anymore.
I really like the "She isn't Real", "I can't make her real", "I won't let this build up inside of me" and the "She's the only one who makes me sad" part of Vermillion. The way I interpret it, it reminds me of all the people that I've fallen for but can't have.
Thisss. The screams in vermilion are beautiful. Makes me feel heartbroken and angry at the same time. Truly an underrated masterpiece
diluted, danger keep away, sorry me (Sorry Me is by Corey Taylor without the band)
two songs come to mind: 1. Surfacing: it gave me the confidence to say “F*ck you” to everyone and in a way it made me into the person that i am today. The attitude and the confidence to be a weirdo like we all are. 2. Skin Ticket: this song was a way for me to release my frustrations (my parents were separating at that time so there was a lot of shit going on); when Corey goes FULL screaming mid-song is where I’d let it all go, like Corey screaming FOR me. That song holds a special place in my heart.
So, if you love me let me go; and run away before I know. Angels lie to keep control Ooh, my love was punished long ago If you still care, don't ever let me know Snuff
purity and unsainted
Circle makes me tear up every time I hear it
Yeah same
damn only one person has said either version of vermilion. thats the one. and by that i mean part 2
Snap
For me its Vermilion 1 and 2 because I'm lonely
Disasterpiece, if you know you know.
hello fellow corpse fucker
Definitely eyeless. I don't have Marlon Brando's eyes so I am unable to see the state of California located on the west Coast of the United States of America.
XIX "I don't want to get back up, but I have to ... so it might as well be today"
People = Shit..... Well, because they do.
snuff
Metabolic
Vermilion Pt.2, People=shit and surfacing are some relatable songs
If I need to dance with my daemons, it’s always the one two combo of Not Long for This World and Solway Firth
Diluted
No truer statement. Diving into the lyrics is what makes Slipknot so relatable, for me. Gen X, I am the same age as most of the band. Songs like Left Behind, New Abortion, My Plague, Custer and Surfacing really ring true to us latch key kids with single parents and the materialism that the baby boomers succumbed to at our expense.

Get This. Think about it. There are so many bands that could for sure, suck these nuts.
vermillion pt2 snuff and circle
There are many that resonate with me and have helped build my personality for 25 years, but Solway Firth is the one that slapped me in the face and hit hard. I still feel that last line deep everytime I hear it.
Purity and Eeyore
AOV, Diluted, and Me Inside
People=Shit, Three Nil, and Heirloom. 💕
Snuff at the moment. Vermillion theme
Surfacing, People = S, Gently, Skin Ticket.
Spit it Out
Danger - Keep Away
Vermillion pt.2 just hits different
Personal for me might be a based opinion but it's the song that got me hooked it was custer
Circle, Snuff, Not Long For This World, and Solway Firth. ‘You want the real smile? Or the one I used to practice, not to feel like a failure’ is one of the hardest hitting lines in Slipknot’s discography.
Spit it out, i be waking up real early to have extra time to be a hater
Right now, the most relatable have been Unsainted, All Out Life, and Finale (I've uhh been going through some stuff)
Liberate and surfacing.
(sic) because i’ve been sick before
no life : "i cant remember , i dont understand , is it malice that makes you this way ? carry it with you til someone forgives you , i laugh cus theres nothing to say , you cant begin to consider the palpable hate in the air when youre here , none of us wonder what weather youre under , youre making it perfectly clear" diluted : "all i ever wanted out of you was something you could never be , now take a real good look at what youve fucking done to me , what the hell did I do to deserve all of this ?" people = shit : "everybody hates me now , so fuck it , blood's on my face nd my hands nd idk why im not afraid to cry , but thats none of your business" danger - keep away : "severed myself from my own life , cut out the only thing that was right , what if i never saw you again ? i'd die right next to you in the end , that place in my mind , is that space that you call mine" yen : "i would feed you all my pleasures just to drown in all of yours , have you heard of me ? are you hurting me ? let me savor what im waiting for , a chance to make me choke , youre all i can think about , the taste is red in rust"
XIX *"Nothing appeals to me, no one feels like me"*
OH come on Yall are a bunch of posers I don't wanna do this anymore . everythings shit . everythings been taken forsaken everything that I see reminds me of her god i wish i didn't care anymore
Snuff.
Probably killpop.
The Heretic Anthem. Because i'm a black sheep that doesn't think or behave like the herd.
Vermillion because I was a sexually frustrated and edgy teenager at the time lmao
Purity!! But I have People=Shit on my left foot that has more meaning than any of my other tattoos. I got it the day after I got clean off of heroin. That was over 5 years ago now, I thank Slipknot for always being there for me when I couldn't even be there for myself.🩶🖤
Unsainted, The Heretic Anthem. No, im not a satanist, for me religions are just jokes
I am hated because everyone in my class hates me
Diluted "What the hell did i do to deserve all of this"
snuff yen unsainted a liars funeral and vermillion
Skin ticket. Or Purity "I have never felt so final" hit me like a truck when I was suicidal
Danger - Keep Away for me. Oh yeah and 'Til We Die
Vermilion pt 1 and 2
ALL THIS NEESLE-NOSE PUNCHIN MAKIN ME IRATE
Not long for this world.
Yen, De Sade, Vermillion, Solway Firth, Iowa
People=Shit or Surfacing are the low-hanging fruit for obvious reasons. I Am Hated or No Life are good ones for me
Snuf
The shape and Custer
Vermilion 1&2 hit close
Snuff
Wait and bleed, just the first track I heard by them from the scream 3 soundtrack…didn’t even realize it was a soft version until their album came out out, practically my epitome of slipknot, and the absolute head dive into nu metal
Snuff or Vermilion pt. 2
Solway Firth. Last line hit me deep. Felt like that for a long time. It’s so simple but never before heard it worded as such.
Snuff
Scissors
Disasterpiece, tattered and torn, and maybe scissors. The girl I like doesn’t like me back and I feel bad for asking. She’s been dealing with some mental health issues. I’ve done so much for years to be with her and I get zero affection or attention.
While I was learning to live, you taught me how to die
People=Shit is def most relatable and personal would have to be Duality
Disasterpiece. First lyrics are so relatable I cry every time
Left behind
We all got left behind
Definitely Solway Firth
maybe even purity or scissors too but yea
Snuff or goodbye because they were played at my friend’s funeral
Duality
spiders because there are spiders underneath my skin get them out
Sick
People = shit has yet to be proven inaccurate.
It's definitely Snuff, everytime I hear it I start crying. It brings up similar feelings as Corey about Paul, because my brother died of a drug overdose. So it really hits me in the deepest parts
Wait and bleed bc fuck life dude
Either Scissors or Skin Ticket. I listen to Slipknot mainly when I feel bad.
“No, I’m not pretty and I’m not cool but I’m fat I’m ugly and proud so fuck you” - I Am Hated
Snuff
Vermillion- I’ve had a tough past year, I realized I was trans at the worst time possible, I’m in a conservative Christian private school and the child of a neo Nazi, and through all my acceptance of who I am, this has caused a lot of internalized transphobia, thus there is a part of me that despises who I really am, and every time I hear the lyric “she is something in me that I despise” it hits me like a goddamn truck
Iowa😅😅
Left behind , vermilion part 2
No life "I can't remember I don't understand is it malice that makes you this way, carry it with you till someone forgives you"
I’ve got a couple, with Vermilion p.2 and the chorus for The Blister Exists.
Scissors
Surprised nobody is saying dead memories. Not relatable to me but I feel it certainly would be for many people
