Some Feel
Slipknot Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Never believing what they see
Some feel that I am not fair
I leave no time for repentance
Tearing the veil,
Mending the veil
Tearing the veil
A misguided philosophy
Some feel I kill for fun, I kill for life!
I can't escape what Gaia's left for me
No less I can't deny the lack of morality
No more, need time to think need time to think
Need to spill blood so I can drink
Take what they give take what the give
Some feel I'm dead yet I still live
They don't know I'm immortal
They don't know they're just cattle
They don't know I'm eternal
Eternal
The lyrics to Slipknot's song Some Feel explores the idea of being misunderstood and misinterpreted. The singer of the song is someone who is perceived as non-existent and unfair by some while others believe that they are a product of a misguided philosophy, a killing machine, and that they lack morality. The sense of being misunderstood and misinterpreted is evident in the line "never believing what they see." Through these lyrics, the songwriter is expressing the frustration of not being understood and how this can lead to feeling isolated and alone.
The singer of the song is also struggling with the idea of immortality. Despite being alive, they feel dead inside and are only able to drink blood to feel alive. This suggests that the singer is experiencing existential angst, which is common among those who struggle to find meaning in their lives. The line "they don't know they're just cattle" suggests that the singer sees themselves as superior to those who don't understand them, further reinforcing the isolation that they are feeling.
Overall, the lyrics to Some Feel convey a sense of loneliness and isolation, as well as the frustration of being misunderstood. The singer of the song is struggling with the idea of immortality and is searching for a way to feel alive. The notion of being misunderstood is relatable to many, as we all want to feel understood and accepted by those around us.
