Eeyore
Slipknot Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Meet the man that made me
Greet the can that I came from
Oh the fucking sacred heart of Jesus
Blew it in the back room
Feelin' like a real goon
Slam the fuck aside, man
I'm on, you're not
I am the great big mouth
Good riddance, though I'm sad to say
I didn't get to kill you
Rhetoric, better look both ways
I gotta get an arm through
Stain
What the fuck is up? get the fuck away
Run if you want to
Innocent? you're a guilty conscience
Laugh last, break through
Stain

Prepare you fucker
I don't give a shit, bitch
I don't give a fuck, bitch
I don't understand, bitch
You don't matter
I don't give a shit, man
I don't give a fuck, man




I don't really care, man
I'm the super sized man

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Slipknot's song Eeyore are intense and filled with rage, frustration, and anger. The opening lines, "Meet the man that made me, Greet the can that I came from," are directed at someone who the singer holds responsible for making him who he is, and the can is possibly a reference to a can of beer or a can of worms that has been opened. The reference to the "fucking sacred heart of Jesus" is a blasphemous expression of anger at the way things have turned out. The line "Blew it in the back room" is a reference to an opportunity that was missed, possibly because of some mistake or miscalculation.


The next lines of the song are "Feeling like a real goon, slam the fuck aside, man, I'm on, you're not." This statement is a challenge to anyone who might try to get in the singer's way, and a declaration that he is on a mission of some kind. The chorus of the song, "Stain," is a repeated statement of the singer's desire to make a mark or leave a lasting impact. The second verse of the song is even more aggressive, with the singer proclaiming that he is a "great big mouth" and wishing he had killed someone. The rest of the verse is about the need to be prepared and the importance of being able to handle unexpected situations.

I love weird songs from Slipknot, but cause raw emotions. I love all these little details on Iowa or Self-titled, when you can hear Corys breath under hectic instruments. It sounds so weird, but really uncomfortable, intense and creepy. His maniac laughing over these two albums, is bone chilling.

Iowa and Selftitled has also many cleans, but there is no cut between them. Not much effects over voice, for better harmony. Everything sounds creepy and bone chilling. Metabolic is the best example, or My Plague.

I miss some kind of..hardcore, experimental and more chaotic stuff.

I have so much respect for Iowa, not cause that brutality, but cause that honesty. Every vocal delivery, instrument, everything, is on the point. There is no slowing down. And all these details are amazing for great replaybility. It is just fun, listen to these albums. I miss also more back up/wtf vocals by other band members. On Iowa, you can hear in some moments weird WTF laugh, or scream by for example, Clown. It sounds so random and insane.

Or on song Heretic Anthem, some member throw i think, microfon against Ross Robinson, in the glass. You can hear that crack, at the end of the track. This track is another awesome example - how instruments are crushing into each other and Corey is screaming "STOP IT, STOP THAT"... that insanity is just creepy as fuck.

Only the people that owned this album in cassette will know the struggle of waiting around to find Eeyore hidden in Scissors

Sants Rams

Naomi Cruz the struggle is real

AgroKannibal

Naomi Cruz my first version was on cd i skiped to it a few hundred times

Still Gloom

Wait! This was on cassette?

Naomi Cruz

I've never heard this album on CD format, so I don't know if Eeyore is a separate track. On the cassette version you had to wait like 8 minutes I think after Scissors to be able to listen to Eeyore, you could always fast forward but I was bad at timing the song on the spot so I would just wait lol!

Still Gloom

+Naomi Cruz
Omg I can only imagine the struggles lol.
Go out and get you a crisp, clear CD ASAP! ;)
