The Blister Exists/Live
Slipknot Lyrics

1-2-3 Drop it
The song is about letting go of the past and moving forward.

Bones in the water and dust in my lungs Absorbing archaic like a sponge The ultimate way is the way you control But can you stay if you detach your soul?
The singer is saying that they have been through a lot and have absorbed a lot of 'archaic' knowledge. They question whether it's worth it to continue controlling their life if it means detaching from their soul.

Bury the present and squeeze out the past The ones you endear to never last Chemical burns and the animalistic I'm just another headline pseudo-statistic
The singer suggests burying the present and letting go of the past. They also talk about how relationships never last and how society views them as just another statistic.

Can you feel this? I'm dyin' to feel this Can you feel this?
The singer is asking the listener if they can feel the intensity of their emotions and how they are eager to feel them.

Blood on the paper and skin on my teeth Tryin' to commit to what's beneath
The singer talks about writing with passion and commitment, trying to convey their true emotions.

To find the time is to lose the momentum You learn the lessons and immediately forget them Automatic and out of my reach Consult all the waste to find the key Minimal life and the polysyllabic I'm just another blank page, push the button, pull the rage
The singer talks about how finding time can interrupt their momentum and how they often forget the lessons they learn. They mention that they are feeling automatic and stuck in a minimal life. They are searching for a key through all the waste but they feel like an empty page with nothing but rage inside of them.

I am all, but what am I? Another number that isn't equal to any of you I control but I comply Pick me apart, then pick up the pieces I'm uneven
The singer questions their identity and purpose. They feel like they are just another number that is different from everyone else. They control their life but also comply with societal standards. They feel like they are uneven and need to be picked apart and put back together.

I am the damaged one All my life and the damage done
The singer declares that they are the one who is hurt and that they have been damaged throughout their whole life.

Can you feel this? I'm dyin' to feel this Can you feel this? I'm dyin' to feel this Can you feel this? I'm dyin' to feel this Can you feel this?
The singer repeats their earlier question, asking the listener if they can feel the intensity of their emotions and how they are eager to feel them.

I am all but what am I? Another number that isn't equal to any of you I control but I comply Pick me apart, then pick up the pieces I'm uneven
The singer repeats the same lines, emphasizing their feelings of not fitting in with society and the need to be picked apart and put back together.
