Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Even if you run, I will find you
I decided I wanted you
Now I know, I need
If you can't be bought tougher than I thought
Keep in mind I am with you
Never left out fate can't concentrate even i you

You will be mine!
Ah fucking you will be mine!
Ah fucking you will be mine!
Ah fucking you will be mine!

I found you

Leanin' out of an open window
You laughed (my fingers clenched)
Too perfect far too careless
I couldn't help myself I just took you

Dammit man I knew it was a mistake
Dammit man I knew it was a mistake
Dammit man I knew it was a mistake
Dammit man I knew it was a mistake
(You brought it outta me) mistake
(You brought it outta me) mistake
(You brought it outta me) mistake
(You brought it outta me) mistake

Better make yourself out home
You're here to stay
You won't bother me
If you let me bother you
All the doors are locked, all the windows shut
Keep in mind, I watch you
Never leave my side, never leave me, fucker
Even if you run

What the fuck is different?
Man, I can't believe I'm doin' this
What the fuck is different?
Man, I can't believe I'm doin' this
What the fuck is different?
Man, I can't believe I'm doin' this
What the fuck is different?
Man, I can't believe I'm doin' this
What the fuck is different?
I can't believe I'm doin' this
What the fuck is different?
I can't believe I'm doin' this
What the fuck is different?
I can't believe I'm doin' this
What the fuck is different?
I can't believe I'm doin' this

Man I knew it was a mistake
Dammit man I knew it was a mistake
Dammit man I knew it was a mistake
Dammit man I knew it was a mistake
(You brought it outta me) mistake
(You brought it outta me) mistake
(You brought it outta me) mistake
(You brought it outta me)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Slipknot's song "Prosthetics" present a disturbing tale of obsession and possession. The singer speaks from the point of view of a stalker who has fixated on a specific person and has decided to make them "mine" no matter what. The stalker says, "even if you run, I will find you" and describes how they found their victim "leanin' out of an open window" and just "took" them. Despite knowing that it was a mistake, the stalker becomes possessive of the victim and insists they stay with them by saying, "better make yourself at home, you're here to stay." The lyrics also express a sense of confusion and disbelief on the stalker's part as they repeatedly ask themselves, "what the fuck is different? Man, I can't believe I'm doin' this" and acknowledge that they were brought to this point by the victim. The repeated use of the word "mistake" adds an eerie layer to the lyrics, emphasizing how unhealthy the stalker's obsession truly is.


Overall, Slipknot's "Prosthetics" speaks to an uncomfortable and dark side of human behavior, namely stalking and obsession. The lyrics do not glorify these actions but rather present them in a disturbing and unsettling light, showing the destructive impact they can have on both the victim and the perpetrator.

Fun fact: From a super rare Russian text interview from 1999, Craig Jones stated that this song was almost cut from the album, and that if the song wasn’t included, he would’ve quit the band entirely.

Slipknot writes the most beautiful love songs.

@414unrelasedmusickyea7

This song is about finding someone and getting your revenge then having the stage of regret. not love

@rustincohle771

Nik B no it's actually inspired by the movie "the collector". Dude basically kidnaps a woman and holds her hostage for his own sick pleasure. I was kidding that it was a love song lol.
