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 never told you
I don't know why
I never tried
When we shed these bitter skins again
All the reasons come to life
Now it's over
Now it's over
Now it's over
I don't know why
You never asked me
And I don't know why
You never cared
Went we hind these little sins again
All the reasons
Have to die
But now it's over
Now it's over
And now it's over
And now it's over
And now it's over
And now it's over
And now it's over
And now it's over
No, no, no, no, no
The lyrics of Prelude 3.0 by Slipknot seem to speak about unspoken, unfulfilled love or a relationship where the two parties never expressed their true feelings for each other. The word "why" is repeated several times, indicating a sense of confusion and regret, almost as if the singer is wondering what could have been if they had spoken up. The lines "When we shed these bitter skins again" and "When we find these little sins again" suggest the possibility of the two parties meeting again in the future and facing their demons. However, the singer seems to be resigned to the fact that it's too late, as he repeats the phrase "now it's over" several times, almost as if to convince himself that he needs to move on.
The song perhaps highlights the notion of missed opportunities, lost love, and an unfulfilled relationship. It speaks to the pain of holding onto love without the courage to openly express it. The repetitive phrases highlight the finality of this situation, which is solidified by the last "no," indicating that there is no turning back.

I don't know why
I am not certain about the reason for something
I never told you
I never expressed my thoughts to you
I never tried
I never made an effort to do something
When we shed these bitter skins again
When we finally let go of our past and move forward
All the reasons come to life
All the factors influencing a decision become more apparent
But now it's over
The situation has ended
You never asked me
You never inquired about my well-being
You never cared
You did not bother with my feelings or situation
Went we hind these little sins again
When we hide our small faults once more
All the reasons
All the motivations or justifications
Have to die
Have to be eliminated from consideration
And now it's over
The situation has concluded
No, no, no, no, no
An emphatic refusal or disagreement

I don't know why. I never told you
And I don't know why. I never tried
When we shed. These bitter skins again
All the reasons come to life. And now it's over
Now it's over (x3)
I don't know why. You never asked me
And I don't know why. You never cared
When we hide. These little sins again
All the reasons. Have to die
But now it's over. Now it's over. And now it's over (x6). No, no, no, no...

I think the meaning of this track isn't understood by many. The band had just gone through what was perhaps the worst time of their lives; Jim Root said "We all almost died." This song rehashes vaguely over past mistakes, and then repeats "Now it's over." That time, that pain, is over. Vol 3 was slipknot's first album to have a glimmer of hopefulness and healing, so, now that depression seems to have faded, and for better or worse, Slipknot would never revisit their old sound.
Zad Rasera
This is why this is their best album
Morten Hansen
It's about not giving up!
