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'm hearing voices but all they do is complain
How many times have you wanted to kill
Everything and everyone
Say you'll do it but never will
You can't see California without Marlon Brando's eyes
You can't see California without Marlon Brando's eyes
I am my father's son
He's a phantom, a mystery and that leaves me nothing!
How many times have you wanted to die?
It's too late for me, all you have to do is get rid of me!
You can't see California without Marlon Brando's eyes
You can't see California without Marlon Brando's eyes
You can't see California without Marlon Brando's eyes
It's all in your head
It's all in my head
It's all in your head
I tried you lied to me for so long
Everywhere I go, there's a sense of it
Freak on my antics and give me a choice
Doesn't matter if I give a shit
It's shit that you gave me
You can't see California without Marlon Brando's eyes
You can't see California without Marlon Brando's eyes
You can't see California without Marlon Brando's eyes
It's all in your head
It's all in my head
It's all in your head
Do you want to feel pain? takin' my name in vain
Caring never felt so lame inside
Anybody else got pride? do you want to take my life?
Maybe I'll reverse my ride
Who the fuck are you? fuck you!
Better suck it up 'cause you bled through
Better get away from me
Stay the fuck away from me!
I feel safe
Seems your saved
I feel safe
It seems your saved
Look me in my brand new eye
Look me in my brand new eye
Look me in my brand new eye
Motherfucker!
Look me in my brand new eye
Look me in my brand new eye
Look me in my brand new eye
Look me in my brand new
"Eyeless" is a song by Slipknot that appears on their 1999 self-titled debut album and was performed live for their 9.0: Live tour in 2005. The song could be about the feeling of being an outsider and not fitting into society, as the lyrics mention hearing voices and feeling insane. The line "It's all in your head, it's all in my head" suggests that these feelings may be internal and not necessarily an accurate portrayal of reality.
The chorus repeats the line "You can't see California without Marlon Brando's eyes," which could be interpreted in many different ways. It could refer to the idea that California is a place of constant reinvention and that one needs to view it through the lens of a cultural icon like Brando to fully understand it. Alternatively, it could just be a nonsensical phrase that the band thought sounded cool.

Motherfucker!
Just a display of anger and frustration towards someone who has wronged me.
