Scream
●Slipknot Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Scream!
Fell forth, destroy the source,
can't see and my voice is horse,
Trying to wash your hands off,
You should know better than to leave us in disgust,

Let me take you right to the point,
All you ever do is encage in disjoint,
That does it the time has arrived,
Take it or leave it you better not side!

You did it again,
All you ever did was doubt,
What do you want?
Let me tell you what it's all about,

One life
Nine Hearts
And Eighteen Hands that'll rip you all apart

We're here to decimate,
To show you all we will never fall,
Its gonna get serious, and critical,
Don't Stop because the feeling is terminal,

[Chorus]
Scream!
Scream like you never have before,
Scream!
Scream till you can't scream anymore,
Scream !
Scream like your throat is bleeding,
Scream!
Scream till your heart stops beating,
Scream for me!

Get off of me, and get away,
Show the whole damn world this will never die,
No matter how the energies scatter,
Got to know nothing exists but the dream,

Give it all,
Till There's nothing left to give,
Save it all,
Quit saving you,
If you're going to let the pain inside,
Never under estimate the way you live your life,

[Chorus]

All our lives,
All we ever sacrificed has paid,
Everything,
Everything is possible to me,
Why no fate,
Found everything that I had to take away,
Save your life,
Save it all that mean something to me,

All our lives
All we ever sacrificed has paid,
Everything!
Everything is possible to me
Why no fight!
Found everything that I had to take away,
Save your life!
Save it all and make a better way,

This stress, is a feeling that you can't compress,
Everything your going through is total stress,
Are you going to be a momentary run around,
How will you handle their ? of stress,

All our lives,
All we ever sacrificed has paid,
Everything,
Everything is possible to me,
Why no fight,
Found everything that I had to take away,
Save your life,
Save it all and make a better way,

All our lives,
All we ever sacrificed has paid,
Everything!
Everything is possible to me
Why no fight!
Found everything that I had to take away,
Save your life!
Save it all and make a better way,
