My Plague
Slipknot Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The one derivative you manage is the one I abhor
I need a minute to elaborate for everyone the
Everyday bullshit things that you have done
Your impossible ego fuck is like a
Megalomaniacal tab on my tongue
You fuckin' touch me I will rip you apart
Shit you call a heart
Ya ya ya
I don't mind being ogled, ridiculed
Made to feel minuscule
If you consider the source, it's kinda pitiful
The only thing you really know about me is
That's all you'll ever know
I know why you plague me
I know why you blame yourself
I know why you plague me
I know why you blame yourself
I'm turning it around like a knife in the shell
I want to understand why, but I'm hurting myself
I haven't seen a lotta reasons to stop it
I can't just drop it
I'm just a bastard, but at least I admit it
At least I admit it
I know why you plague me
I know why you blame yourself
I know why you plague me
I know why you blame yourself
Kill you, fuck you, I will never be you
Kill you, fuck you, I will never be you
I can't fuckin' take it anymore
A snap of the synapse
And now it's fuckin' war
Kill you, fuck you, I will never be you
I know why you plague me
I know why you blame yourself
I know why you plague me
I know why you blame yourself
I know why you plague me
I know why you blame yourself
I know why you plague me
I know why you blame yourself
The song "My Plague" by Slipknot is about a person who is struggling with the negative influence of another individual. The individual who plagues the main character is egotistical and obnoxious, and the main character wants nothing more than to rid himself of this person's presence in his life. He is frustrated and angry with this person, who seems to be constantly interfering and causing chaos in his life. Throughout the song, the main character is trying to understand why this person plagues him so much, but can't seem to figure it out. He also struggles with his own emotions, wondering whether he should stop fighting or continue to push forward.
Overall, the lyrics of the song convey a sense of intense emotion and struggle. The main character is clearly experiencing a great deal of frustration and anger, and the lyrics reflect this. The repeated lines of "I know why you plague me" and "I know why you blame yourself" demonstrate the main character's awareness of the situation he is in and his understanding of the other person's negative influence on him.
