Slipknot is an American alternative metal band formed in Des Moines, Iowa, … Read Full Bio ↴Slipknot is an American alternative metal band formed in Des Moines, Iowa, in 1995 by percussionist Shawn Crahan, drummer Joey Jordison and bassist Paul Gray. After several lineup changes in its early years, the band settled on nine members for more than a decade: Crahan, Jordison, Gray, Craig Jones, Mick Thomson, Corey Taylor, Sid Wilson, Chris Fehn, and Jim Root. Gray died on May 24, 2010, and was replaced during 2011–2014 by guitarist Donnie Steele. Jordison was dismissed from the band on December 12, 2013. Steele left during the recording sessions for .5: The Gray Chapter. The band found replacements in Alessandro Venturella on bass and Jay Weinberg on drums. After the departure of Jordison, as of December 2013 the only founding member in the current lineup is percussionist Crahan. Fehn was also dismissed from the band in March 2019 prior to the writing of We Are Not Your Kind and was replaced by Michael Pfaff.

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.

That was all I got and now you got me

All I ever really wanted was to take the blame
I will go down in history and not down in flames
Meningitis,
I will survive this,
Dry sockets and a schizophrenic crisis

The time of the nine has begun
Get out of the way or you will suffer as one

This is so typical,
Apocalyptical,
Hanging on abysmal release,
Jesus,
I don't need this,
Don't wanna be this,
Icon in the making,
My hands are fucking shaking

What if god doesn't care?
What if god doesn't care?

Remember,
Surrender,
The time is now
Continue,
We're in you,
And we will burn your cities down

America is a killing name
It doesn't feel or discriminate
Life is just a killing field
It's all that's left, nothing's real
Throw away your disposable past
And fall apart like a cigarette ash
We are the fatal and vital ones of the world
And we will burn your cities down

What if god doesn't care?
What if god doesn't care?

America is a killing name
It doesn't feel or discriminate
Life is just a killing field
It's all that's left, nothing's real
Throw away your disposable past
And fall apart like a cigarette ash
We are the fatal and vital ones of the world
And we will burn your cities down
Down,

We will burn your cities down
We will burn your cities down

We will burn your cities down
Feed the hungry, feed them shit
Feed them bones and politics
You wanna revolutionize?
Be specific and believe your eyes
Start a war in another backyard
And we'll destroy your house of cards
Give me a minute and I'll change your mind
Give me a bullet and I'll change your life

Remember,
Surrender,
The time is now
Continue,
We're in you,
And we will burn your cities down

America is a killing name
It doesn't feel or discriminate
Life is just a killing field
It's all that's left, nothing's real
Throw away your disposable past
And fall apart like a cigarette ash
We are the fatal and vital ones of the world
And we will burn your cities down, down, down
We will burn your cities down, down, down

We will burn your cities down
America, what if "god" doesn't care?

Overall Meaning

"Gematria" is a song by American metal band Slipknot about the issues and chaos that plague contemporary society. The lyrics delve into religion, politics, and violence, suggesting that humanity's problems stem from a lack of accountability and compassion. The song's opening lines refer to a specific date, "12/08/73", which is presumably the birthdate of one of the band members or a significant person in their lives.

The song's title refers to the practice of gematria, which assigns numerical values to words in order to find hidden meanings or connections. The lyrics examine the dark corners and potential consequences of apocalyptic thinking and suggest that taking on the role of an "icon in the making" is a dangerous and potentially destructive mindset. The song also touches on the idea that God may not care about humanity's problems, leaving people to fend for themselves.

Throughout the song, Slipknot emphasizes the destructive nature of America and its actions, referring to the country as a "killing field" and warning that the band and its followers will "burn your cities down." The lyrics condemn the actions of politicians and urge listeners to be specific in their calls for revolution. Ultimately, the song suggests that accountability is the key to creating a better world, and that change starts with the individual.

because of the title 'Gematria' it is geometry within language and its mainly a secret. used by secret societies etc...
(a=1, b=2,....z=26; u just take the values of the letters and add them together...very simple)
Gematria=74; English=74; Masonic=74; Jewish=74; Occult=74; ...
Killing=74; Messiah=74; Lucifer=74; Jesus=74; Gospel=74; Cross=74; ... the english language is based in this number system they used the knowledge from old languages like hebrew and greek and combined them with new stuff like german etc...
Gematria is part of kabbalah which is practiced by the elites churches masons etc

@depurasangre86

4y↑36

Gematria in Hebrew is turning the written word into it's numerical value. Words with the same numerical value are thought to be the same. For example adding Ariel up gives you a numerical value of 115. The name molek(false God) is also equal to 115 so it is believed they are the same thing.

Just transformed Slipknot into it's gematria numerical value and I come up with...379. so what is equal to 379?

Disaster is equal to 379 as well.

This song sounds like something a classic thrash band would do. Lyrics about politics, no fucks given about the extremeness of the subject, and absolute badass riffs and drum work. This song is a fucking gem ❤

One if my favourite Slipknot songs!
It is perfect in every component: length, instruments, AHIG has solos and this song had an awesome solo, the drum playing (AWESOME), and the riffs (you know where I'm going with this.. that heavy AF riff is nuts!)!

Since Mrsomebody said Gemaria=Fearless. I think it's "did you notice the title is wrong", gematria instead of gemaria?

This might sound weird, but I feel there's something very classy about this song. In fact, the album as a whole has a classy, neat finish compared to the brutality of some of their other albums. I love that contrast.

Aamir Khan and that’s why Slipknot hates this album. Even clown said it, it’s too perfect. No pain, no anger, no struggle, just perfection. He says that’s not what makes a great Slipknot record, and it hurt him to see it become number one when they put little effort into it.

This is their best song. It really highlights the paradigm of the American Imperial Army from within its own borders through the lost art of screaming in anger. Summed up with "Give me a minute and I'll change your mind. Give me a bullet and I will change your life."

It's about America getting into other nations wars and creating proxy wars so the two powers don't destroy each other and it talk's also about addictions and pollution in America.
