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 ↴
Nobody's leaking any more
No-one said a thousand times
My brains' been scattered about
Forced to deal with suffering
Making more than I mean
Leave my past behind me
Life... LIFE
Show me show me SHOW ME
Show me show me SHOW ME
Now the fiends are back in
I'm through with resort
Just one more time
To keep my face in
LIFE
Smile , while the blade slides down your face
Pain, for at least 2 or 3 days
You , dont' you love all your scars
Feel, all the Medicine released
SMILE, WHILE THE BLADE SLIDES DOWN YOUR FACE
SMILE, WHILE THE BLADE SLIDES DOWN YOUR FACE
SMILE, WHILE THE BLADE SLIDES DOWN YOUR FACE
SMILE, WHILE THE BLADE SLIDES DOWN YOUR FACE
SMILE, WHILE THE BLADE SLIDES DOWN YOUR FACE
SMILE, WHILE THE BLADE SLIDES DOWN YOUR FACE
SMILE, WHILE THE BLADE SLIDES DOWN YOUR FACE
SMILE, WHILE THE BLADE SLIDES DOWN YOUR FACE (8x)

The lyrics of 'Coleslaw' by Slipknot depict a person who has been through a lot of suffering and pain. They are dealing with the aftermath of being hurt and are trying to leave their past behind. The fiends mentioned in the song symbolize the struggles and negative forces that this person has faced in their life. The singer is feeling overwhelmed and desperate to find a way out of the pain that they are experiencing.
The chorus of the song, which is repeated multiple times, urges the listener to smile while the blade slides down their face. This could be interpreted as a metaphor for self-harm or a destructive coping mechanism to deal with emotional pain. The lyrics also suggest that the physical pain caused by self-harm can be addictive and provide relief for the emotional turmoil that the person is going through.
In summary, 'Coleslaw' is a song about a person who is struggling to deal with past trauma and is resorting to extreme measures to cope. It highlights the destructive nature of self-harm and the addictive qualities of physical pain as a means of dealing with emotional pain.

All The Fiends Are Out
All the demons inside me have surfaced
Nobody's leaking any more
I'm no longer bleeding or expressing my pain
No-one said a thousand times
No one told me enough times to stop harming myself
My brains' been scattered about
My mind is fractured from the suffering I've endured
Forced to deal with suffering
I'm unable to escape the pain in my life
Making more than I mean
I'm causing more harm to myself than I intended
Leave my past behind me
I want to let go of my painful memories and move forward
Life... LIFE
I want to experience life to the fullest
Show me show me SHOW ME
I'm begging for someone to help me and show me a way out
Now the fiends are back in
My inner demons have been subdued momentarily
I'm through with resort
I'm done with self-harm and destructive behavior
Just one more time
I'm tempted to hurt myself again
To keep my face in
To maintain my public image as okay despite internal struggles
Smile , while the blade slides down your face
Enjoy the brief moment of relief from pain inflicted by self-harm
Pain, for at least 2 or 3 days
Endure the physical pain of self-harm as a temporary escape from emotional pain
You , dont' you love all your scars
Recognizing a twisted satisfaction from the wounds inflicted
Feel, all the Medicine released
Experience a rush of endorphins and temporary relief
SMILE, WHILE THE BLADE SLIDES DOWN YOUR FACE (repeated)
Endorsing and encouraging self-harm as a coping mechanism
