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.

Slipknot Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Stretched across my shame
All the torment and the pain
Leaked through and covered me
I'd do anything to have her to myself
Just to have her for myself
Now I don't know what to do
I don't know what to do
She is everything to me
The unrequited dream
A song that no one sings
The unattainable
She's a myth that I have to believe in
All I need to make it real is one more reason
I don't know what to do
I don;t know what to do
When she makes me sad
But I won't let this build up inside of me
But I won't let this build up inside of me
But I won't let this build up inside of me
But I won't let this build up inside of me
I catch in my throat
Choke
Torn into pieces
I won't, no
I don't want to be this
But I won't let this build up inside of me
(Won't let this build up inside of me)
I won't let this build up inside of me
(Won't let this build up inside of me)
I won't let this build up inside of me
(Won't let this build up inside of me)
I won't let this build up inside of me
(Won't let this build up inside of me, won't let this build up inside of me)
She isn't real
(Won't let this build up inside of me)
I can't make her real
(Won't let this build up inside of me)
She isn't real
(Won't let this build up inside of me)
I can't make her real
(Won't let this build up inside of me
The lyrics to Slipknot's song Vermilion Pt. 2 depict a person's intense and overwhelming longing for someone who seems to embody everything they desire. The singer is consumed by thoughts of this person, recognizing that they represent both his deepest desires and his greatest despair. He is tortured by the fact that he cannot have her for himself, and is ultimately left feeling lost and hopeless when she makes him sad.
The lyrics are intensely emotional, reflecting the deep pain and hurt that can come with longing for someone you cannot have. The singer is torn apart by his feelings, struggling to come to terms with the fact that the woman he longs for is ultimately unattainable. The repetition of the phrase "I don't know what to do" underscores the sense of helplessness and lack of control that the singer feels.
In many ways, the lyrics to Vermilion Pt. 2 represent a kind of modern-day love song, albeit one that is marked by a sense of darkness and desperation. The singer's intense yearning for the person he desires is palpable, and the song is ultimately a meditation on the intense pain and longing that can accompany romantic love.

She seems dressed in all of me
I see all of myself in her
Stretched across my shame
My shame is visible through her
All the torment and the pain
All the emotional distress
Leaked through and covered me
Overwhelmed and consumed me
I'd do anything to have her to myself
I desire her completely
Just to have her for myself
To hold her close as my own possession
Now I don't know what to do
I feel lost without her
When she makes me sad
Her absence brings me great sadness
She is everything to me
She is my entire world
The unrequited dream
A dream that cannot be fulfilled
A song that no one sings
A hidden story that no one knows
The unattainable
Out of reach and impossible to grasp
She's a myth that I have to believe in
She's so perfect that it feels unreal
All I need to make it real is one more reason
I'm hoping to find a way to make it a reality
But I won't let this build up inside of me
I won't let these feelings consume me
I catch in my throat
My emotions are overwhelming
Choke
I feel suffocated by my own emotions
Torn into pieces
My heart is broken with sadness
I don't want to be this
I don't want to feel this much pain
She isn't real
She's just a figment of my imagination
I can't make her real
I cannot force my dreams to come true

Slipknot's music video for "Duality" is a powerful and poignant portrayal of the desperate need for validation among the youth of the 2010s. Against a backdrop of societal pressures and feelings of abandonment, the video depicts a group of young individuals finding solace and unity in the unifying banner of metal.
Through electrifying imagery and raw emotion, the video captures the essence of a generation grappling with feelings of isolation and neglect. As the band delivers their hard-hitting metal anthem, viewers are drawn into a world where music becomes a lifeline for those who feel forgotten and unloved.
The unrelenting energy of Slipknot's music serves as a rallying cry for the disenfranchised, empowering them to come together and forge their own sense of identity and community. In the face of adversity, the music becomes a source of strength and validation, offering a sense of belonging to those who have been cast aside by society.
As the video unfolds, we witness the transformation of these individuals as they embrace their true selves and find acceptance within the metal community. Through the power of music, they transcend their struggles and emerge stronger and more united than ever before.
In the end, "Duality" is more than just a music video; it's a testament to the transformative power of music and its ability to bring people together in times of need. Slipknot's hard-hitting metal anthem serves as a beacon of hope for the forgotten and unloved, reminding them that they are not alone and that their voices matter.

LYRICS
I push my fingers into my eyes...
It's the only thing that slowly stops the ache...
But it's made of all the things I have to take...
Jesus, it never ends, it works it's way inside...
If the pain goes on...
I have screamed until my veins collapsed
I've waited as my time's elapsed
Now, all I do is live with so much fate
I've wished for this, I've bitched at that
I've left behind this little fact:
You cannot kill what you did not create
I've gotta say what I've gotta say
And then I swear I'll go away
But I can't promise you'll enjoy the noise
I guess I'll save the best for last
My future seems like one big past
You're left with me 'cause you left me no choice
I push my fingers into my eyes
It's the only thing that slowly stops the ache
If the pain goes on,
I'm not gonna make it!
Put me back together
Or separate the skin from bone
Leave me all the pieces, then you can leave me alone
Tell me the reality is better than the dream
But I found out the hard way,
Nothing is what it seems!
I push my fingers into my eyes
It's the only thing that slowly stops the ache
But it's made of all the things I have to take
Jesus, it never ends, it works it's way inside
If the pain goes on,
I'm not gonna make it!
All I've got...all I've got is insane...
All I've got...all I've got is insane...
All I've got...all I've got is insane!
All I've got...all I've got is insane!
I push my fingers into my eyes
It's the only thing that slowly stops the ache
But it's made of all the things I have to take
Jesus, it never ends, it works it's way inside
If the pain goes on,
