People= shit
Slipknot Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Come on!

Here we go again mother f***er!

Yeah!

Come on down
And see the idiot right here
Too f***ed to beg and not afraid to care
What's the matter with calamity anyway
Right, get the f*** out of my face
Understand I can't feel anything
It isn't like I wanna sift through the decay
I feel like a wound
Like I got a f***ing gun against my head
You live when I'm dead

One more time mother f***er!

Everybody hates me now so f*** it
Blood on my face and my hands and I don't know why
I'm not afraid to cry
But that is none of your business

Whose life is it, give it, see it, feel it, eat it
Spin it around so I can spit in it's face
I wanna leave without a trace
'Cause I don't want to die in this place

People equals s***
People equals s***
People equals s***
People equals s***
(what you gonna do)
(I'm not afraid of you)
(I'm everything you'll never be)

Come on!

It never stops
You can't be everything to everyone
Contagion I'm sittin' on the side of Satan
What do you want from me?
They never told me the failure I was meant to be
Overdo it, don't tell me you blew it
Stop your b****in'
And fight your way through it
I'm not like you
I just f*** up

Come on motherf***er everybody has to die
Come on motherf***er everybody has to die!

People equals s***
People equals s***
People equals s***
People equals s***
People equals s***
(Yeah)
People equals s***
People equals s***
People equals s***
People equals s***
(What you gonna do)




(I'm not afraid of you)
(I'm everything you'll never be)

Overall Meaning

The song "People=Shit" by Slipknot is an aggressive and nihilistic track that tackles the theme of human behavior and its effect on society. The lyrics suggest a lack of faith in humanity and appear to condemn people for their perceived vices and shortcomings. The opening verse is a call to arms, inviting the listener to join in the disdain for those who are deemed ignorant and selfish. The lyrics describe the singer as feeling like a wound with a gun to his head, illustrating a sense of desperation and helplessness in the face of others' inferiority.


The chorus repeats the phrase "People equals s***" ten times, emphasizing the frustration and anger felt by the singer towards humanity. The phrase "I'm everything you'll never be" provides insight into the singer's feelings of superiority; he sees himself as superior to the idiots that he despises.


The second verse continues the theme of frustration and isolation, but introduces a feeling of indifference. The singer suggests that he doesn't care what others think of him and has nothing left to lose, which creates a sense of disconnect from society. The bridge then provides a dark twist, insinuating that the singer has given in and accepted that everyone must die. This last line showcases the song's overarching message, that people are flawed and corrupt, and nothing can change that.
