Fuck This World
Slipknot Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Running out of ways to run,
i can't see,
i can't be,
over and over and under my skin,
all this attention is doing me in!
Fuck it all, fuck this world, fuck everything that you stand for,
Don't belong, don't exist,
don't give a shit, don't ever judge me.
Picking throught the parts exposed,
taking shape, taking shag,
over and over and under my skin,
all this momentum is doing me in!
Fuck it all, fuck this world, fuck everything that you stand for,
Don't belong, don't exist,
don't give a shit, don't ever judge me.
And don't you fucking judge me!
I gave you all my love, livin' in your own hate,
Drippin' hole man, lost step, no fate,
Show you nothin'but i ain't holdin' back,
Every damn word i say is a sneak attack,
When i get my hands on you,
Ain't a fucking thing you can do,
Get this coz you're never gonna get me,
I am the very disease you pretend to be!
I am the push that makes you move x4
Fuck it all, fuck this world, fuck everything that you stand for,
don't belong, don't exist
The lyrics to Slipknot's song "Fuck This World" express a world-weary and disillusioned view of life, as well as a deep sense of isolation and frustration. The singer is exhausted by endless cycles of repetition and conformity ("over and over and under my skin"), and feels overwhelmed by the constant scrutiny and judgment of others ("all this attention is doing me in!"). He rebels against mainstream society and its values, refusing to conform or fit in, and reacting with anger and aggression to those who try to control or judge him.
The song is a bold expression of individuality and rebellion, rejecting the constraints of social norms and expectations. It is an anthem for those who feel marginalized or oppressed, and who refuse to be contained or silenced by the forces around them. The lyrics tap into the deepest fears and frustrations of many people, who struggle to carve out their own place in the world and find meaning in the face of overwhelming pressure and negativity.
Overall, "Fuck This World" is a powerful and visceral expression of anger and nihilism, but beneath the surface it also contains a message of hope and resilience. By rejecting the status quo and asserting one's own unique voice and identity, one can rise above the noise and chaos of the world and create a better, more authentic life for oneself.

Remember The Quest
Idk when I heard it but I'm 33 now still sounds badass
POWER!!
It might be a little concerning that this was my favorite slip knot song as a literal 6 year old. Still sticks in my mind to this day when I think of how I grew up loving metal.

This is their BEST song from their BEST album -- pre Stone Sour and more melodic songs.
Pure anger and rage, and you felt every gram of that fury at the age of 14.
