Slipknot is well known for its attention-grabbing image, aggressive style of music, and energetic and chaotic live shows. The band rapidly rose to fame following the release of their eponymous debut album in 1999. The 2001 follow-up album, Iowa, although darker in tone, made the band more popular. After a brief hiatus, Slipknot returned in 2004 with Vol. 3: The Subliminal Verses, before going on another hiatus and returning in 2008 with its fourth album, All Hope Is Gone, which debuted at number one on the US Billboard 200 chart. After another long hiatus, Slipknot released its fifth studio album, .5: The Gray Chapter, in 2014. Their sixth studio album, We Are Not Your Kind, was released on August 9, 2019. Their seventh studio album, The End, So Far, was released on September 30, 2022. The band has released two live albums titled 9.0: Live and Day of the Gusano: Live in Mexico, a compilation album titled Antennas to Hell, and five live DVDs. The band has sold 30 million records worldwide.

Slipknot Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I want to push my face in and feel the swoon
I want to dig inside, find a little bit of me
'Cause the line gets crossed when you don't come clean
My wormwood meets your pesticide
You'll never get out, 'coz you were never alive
I am infinite, I am the infant finite
(No one is - safe)
Noises, noises, people make noises
People make noises when they're sick
Nothing to do except hold on to nothing
How does it feel to be locked inside another dream
That never had a chance of being realized?
What the f*** are you lookin' at?
I'll tell you what you're lookin' at
Everyone you ever f***in' laughed at
Look in my eyes for the answers - typical
I can feel it underneath like a miracle
Everybody in the world needs more than
Lies and consequences to poser them
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
(No one is - safe)
Noises, noises, people make noises
People make noises when they're sick
Nothing to do except hold on to nothing
Nothing!
(Hate) hate ain't enough to describe me
(Scream) somewhere between screaming and crying
I'm not supposed to behere
I'm not supposed to be
(Why) when do I get to know why?
(Bitter) bitter as the stink of when I try
I'm not supposed to be here
I'm not supposed to be
Pull your hands away
I'm gone - goodbye - it's so depressing
Withering away
Take a look - inside - my soul is missing
All I have is dead, so I'll take you with me
Feel like I'm erased - so kill me just in case
(Covet) everything around me's mine
(Stay) can't see through the sties in my eyes
I'm not supposed to be here
I'm not supposed to be
(Down) scratching and clawing all the way
(Stay) you won't let me f***ing stay
I'm not supposed to be here
I'm not supposed to be
(Live) is there another way to live?
(Die) 'cause it's the only way to die
I'm not supposed to be here
I'm not supposed to be
The lyrics to Slipknot's "Live At Download Festival 2009" are a disturbing exploration of anger, violence, and madness. The opening lines are shockingly violent, describing a desire to "slit your throat and f*** the wound" and "push my face in and feel the swoon." The singer then imagines "digging inside" to find a piece of himself, suggesting a deep, primal need for violence and self-harm. The lyrics then veer into a commentary on lies and hidden truths, with the singer accusing those around him of not being "clean" and reveling in the idea of inflicting pain.
The second verse of the song continues the theme of madness and distorted reality. The singer describes a dream that was never meant to be, asking "How does it feel to be locked inside another dream?" The lyrics turn inward, with the singer questioning his own existence and purpose. He seems to be both angry at and contemptuous of others, imagining that they are all laughing at him. The final section of the song is a chaotic mix of disconnected images and emotions, culminating in a plea for life or death: "Is there another way to live? / 'Cause it's the only way to die."
Line by Line Meaning
I want to slit your throat and f*** the wound
I desire to cut your throat and have intercourse with the wound
I want to push my face in and feel the swoon
I have the urge to immerse my face and relish in the euphoric feeling
I want to dig inside, find a little bit of me
I yearn to delve into myself and discover a piece of who I am
'Cause the line gets crossed when you don't come clean
The boundary is overstepped when you fail to confess the truth
My wormwood meets your pesticide
My bitterness collides with your poison
You'll never get out, 'coz you were never alive
You are trapped forever because you never truly lived
I am infinite, I am the infant finite
I am limitless, I am the beginning and the end
Come a little closer and I'll show you why
Approach me and I will demonstrate the reasoning behind my actions
(No one is - safe)
Nobody is protected
Noises, noises, people make noises
Sounds, sounds, individuals produce sounds
People make noises when they're sick
People create sounds when they are unwell
Nothing to do except hold on to nothing
There is nothing to be done but grasp onto nothingness
How does it feel to be locked inside another dream
What is the sensation of being trapped in another person's fantasy
That never had a chance of being realized?
That never had the possibility of becoming a reality?
What the f*** are you lookin' at?
What are you staring at?
I'll tell you what you're lookin' at
I will inform you of what you are observing
Everyone you ever f***in' laughed at
Every individual that you have previously mocked
Look in my eyes for the answers - typical
Examine my eyes for the solutions - a common request
I can feel it underneath like a miracle
I can sense it deep within like a miraculous event
Everybody in the world needs more than
Every person on the planet requires more than
Lies and consequences to poser them
Falsehoods and repercussions to deceive them
Once again, it's me and no one else
Once more, it is just me and no one besides
I can't remember if there was a someone else
I cannot recall if there was a person other than myself
It's not mine, it's not fair, it's outta my hands
It is not my responsibility, it is not equitable, it is not within my control
And it's shaking - you'll never take me
And it is trembling - you will never defeat me
(No one is - safe)
Nobody is protected
Nothing!
Absolutely nothing!
(Hate) hate ain't enough to describe me
(Hate) hatred is inadequate to depict me
(Scream) somewhere between screaming and crying
(Scream) in a state of screaming and crying
I'm not supposed to be here
I am not meant to be present
I'm not supposed to be
I am not meant to exist
(Why) when do I get to know why?
(Why) when will I have the opportunity to discover the reason?
(Bitter) bitter as the stink of when I try
(Bitter) as sour as the odor produced when I attempt
Pull your hands away
Remove your hands
I'm gone - goodbye - it's so depressing
I am departing - farewell - it is incredibly disheartening
Withering away
Deteriorating
Take a look - inside - my soul is missing
Observe - within - my soul is absent
All I have is dead, so I'll take you with me
Everything I possess is deceased, so I will bring you along
Feel like I'm erased - so kill me just in case
I sense as though I am erased - thus, kill me to be certain
(Covet) everything around me's mine
(Covet) all the objects surrounding me belong to me
(Stay) can't see through the sties in my eyes
(Stay) unable to see due to the filthiness within my eyes
(Down) scratching and clawing all the way
(Down) relentlessly struggling the entire journey
(Stay) you won't let me f***ing stay
(Stay) you refuse to allow me to remain
(Live) is there another way to live?
(Live) is there an alternative method to exist?
(Die) 'cause it's the only way to die
(Die) because it is the sole technique for passing away
I'm not supposed to be here
I am not meant to be present
I'm not supposed to be
I am not meant to exist
