- Liberate
Slipknot Lyrics

Liberate, my madness (one of me, all of you)
I need to set my madness free, whether it's a part of myself or something I share with others.

Liberate, my madness
Let me break free from the restraints that are holding me back.

I just want to,
All I want is to be free.

Section off myself
I need to isolate myself from others and create boundaries to protect my own sanity.

Put a wall up/what the hell have I done
I need to protect myself, but at the same time, I question the consequences of my actions.

Keep the dog at bay
I need to keep the chaos and negativity around me under control.

Survive by saving me!
I must prioritize my own survival and well-being.

Values and the game
I refuse to compromise my values for the sake of conforming to societal expectations.

Not a fuck-up, not a part of your lie
I will not be manipulated or used as a pawn in someone else's game. I am not a failure, neither am I a part of any lies.

I am one, I am all, I'm above and beyond!
I am a unique individual but also part of a larger collective. Additionally, I have transcended above ordinary standards.

Stand off of the shit
Stay away from the toxic and negative things around me.

Back off or I'll spit
I will retaliate if provoked.

So soft, you forgot
You are weak and forgetful.

Your garbage in is garbage out
You reap what you sow.

You don't give a shit
You don't care about anything.

I won't play the fit
I won't be swayed by your manipulation or your attempt to provoke me.

Get off, get on this
Stay away from me, don't get involved in my business.

I am not ashamed
I refuse to feel guilty for who I am or what I believe.

What is vital, isn't always humane
Sometimes, what's important may not be ethical or moral.

You can break in vain
Your attempts to cause harm will be unsuccessful.

But you can't break away
You can't escape the consequences of your own actions.

Even in my face
Despite my confrontational attitude or my proximity to danger, I won't back down.

Lotta bullshit, not alotta the truth
There is a lot of deception and lies in the world, and not much honesty.

I can't see from here
It's difficult to gain perspective or see the bigger picture.

But I can smell your fear
I can sense when someone is vulnerable or intimidated.

Saved, you're such a slave, I don't expect a Name,
You are subservient to authority or conformity and have lost your sense of individuality.

you don't care, I wasn't witness,
You are apathetic and ignorant to the truth.

I can't be a part of a system such as this
I refuse to be a part of a corrupt or oppressive system.

Hard eyes, glow right, in my, darkness, again
My emotions and thoughts are strong and unwavering, even in my darkest moments.

With the sickness, rengade sisters, blisters,
Amidst chaos and turmoil, I find comfort in the counterculture and the outcasts.

Salivate, litigate, liberate, madness, sadness
My thoughts and actions are motivated by my struggles with mental illness and pain.

Fuck this, how long have I had this?
I am fed up with my current situation and how long it has persisted.

I don't need this, outta my business
I am done dealing with this problem and want to be left alone.

Insert, engage, betray, my god
I feel betrayed and abandoned by those I trusted.

Fraud
You are fake and deceptive.

Liberate, my madness
Let my insanity be free.

Liberate, my madness!
I must break free from the constraints that are holding me back.
