Vermillion pt.2
Slipknot Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

She seems dressed in all of me
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
When she makes me sad

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

Overall Meaning

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.


Line by Line Meaning

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

“LYRICS”
She seems dressed in all of me
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
When she makes me sad
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. :)

She seems dressed in all of me
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
When she makes me sad

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

Death is not the greatest loss in life. The greatest loss is what dies inside while still alive.

@themorningstar9704

How poetic

@princeuchiha1439

That the girl from the first vid?

@jay-jay133

Yup, I died many years ago. Still DEAD INSIDE!

Heroin kills the pain...for a while. But its all just the same cycle of shit...different date/time.
