split it out
Slipknot Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Did you never give a damn in the first place
Maybe it's time you had the tables turned
'Cause in the interest of all involved I got the problem solved
And the verdict is guilty
Man nearly killed me
Steppin' where you fear to tread
Stop, drop and roll you were dead from the get-go!
Big mouth fucker stupid cocksucker
Are you scared of me now?
Then you're dumber than I thought
Always is and never was
Foundation made of piss and vinegar
Step to me, I'll smear ya think I fear ya? bullshit!
Just another dumb punk chompin' at this shit
Is there any way to break through the noise?
Was it something that I said that got you bent?
Gotta be that way if you want it
Sanity, literal profanity, hit me!

Spit it out
All you wanna do is drag me down
All I wanna do is stamp you out
Spit it out
All you wanna do is drag me down
All I wanna do is stamp you out

Maybe it's the way you gotta spread a lotta rumor fodder
Keepin' all your little spies and leavin' when you realize
Step up, fairy
I guess it's time to bury your ass with the chrome straight to the dome
You heard me right, bitch, I didn't stutter
And if you know what's good just shut up and beg, brother
Back stab don't you know who you're dissin'?
Side swipe we know the ass that you're kissin'!
Biggity-biggidy bitch boy, halfway hauser
Don't hear shit 'cause it keeps gettin' louder
Come up and get a face full o'tactic
Lippin' off hard, goin' home in a basket
You got no pull, no power, no nothin'
Now you start shit? Well ain't that somethin'?
Payoffs don't protect and you can hide if you want
But I'll find you comin' up behind you!

Spit it out
All you wanna do is drag me down
All I wanna do is stamp you out
Spit it out
All you wanna do is drag me down
All I wanna do is stamp you out

'Bout time I set this record straight
'Cause' all the needlenose punchin' is makin' me irate
Sick o' my bitchin' fallin' on deaf ears
Where you gonna be in the next five years?
The crew and all the fools and all the politics
Get your lips ready, gonna gag, gonna make you sick
You got dick when they passed out the good stuff
Bam are you sick of me?, good enough had enough

Fuck me! I'm all out of enemies
Fuck me! I'm all out of enemies
Fuck me! I'm all out of enemies
Fuck me! I'm all out of enemies
Fuck me! I'm all out of enemies
Fuck me! I'm all out of enemies
Fuck me! I'm all out of enemies
Fuck me! I'm all out of enemies

Spit it out
All you wanna do is drag me down
All I wanna do is stamp you out
Spit it out
All you wanna do is drag me down
All I wanna do is spit you out
Spit, spit




Spit, spit
Spit it out

Overall Meaning

The song "Spit It Out" by Slipknot is a powerful and intense track that speaks to feeling misunderstood and being underestimated. The lyrics starting with “Did you never give a damn in the first place? Maybe it's time you had the tables turned,” point to someone who has been wronged in some way and is ready to seek justice for themselves. They continue to call out the individual who has wronged them, using aggressive and confrontational language such as "big mouth fucker stupid cocksucker,” and "Step up, fairy, I guess it's time to bury your ass with the chrome straight to the dome." This person is ready to stand up to those who have belittled and hurt them, hinting that they have had enough of this behavior.


The phrase "Spit it out" that's repeated throughout the song is a challenge to the person who has wronged them to speak up and explain themselves. They demand accountability and believe that the other person deserves what they dish out. However, the lyrics can also be seen as a reflection of the singer's own inner frustrations and self-doubts that they are trying to express.


Overall, "Spit It Out" is a cathartic and powerful song that gives voice to feelings of frustration and empowerment. It has become a fan favorite, a staple of the band's live performances, and a testament to their signature mix of metal, punk, and gothic styles.

Keepin' all your little spies and leavin' when you realize

Step up, fairy
Come on, coward


I guess it's time to bury your ass with the chrome straight to the dome
It's time to finish you off with a shot to the head


You heard me right, bitch, I didn't stutter
I called you out, and I meant it


And if you know what's good just shut up and beg, brother

You talk tough but you’re a coward


Don't hear shit 'cause it keeps gettin' louder
You don't listen to anyone and just keep making it worse

Come fight me and face the consequences


Lippin' off hard, goin' home in a basket
If you keep talking tough, you'll end up in a body bag


You got no pull, no power, no nothin'
You have no influence or importance


Now you start shit? Well ain't that somethin'?
You're starting trouble now? How surprising


Payoffs don't protect and you can hide if you want
You think you can bribe your way out of this, but you can't


But I'll find you comin' up behind you!
I'll catch you off guard and end this nonsense


'Bout time I set this record straight
It's time I speak the truth


'Cause' all the needlenose punchin' is makin' me irate
All the verbal jabs are getting on my nerves


Sick o' my bitchin' fallin' on deaf ears
I'm tired of complaining and nobody listening


Where you gonna be in the next five years?
What are your future plans and will they be successful?


The crew and all the fools and all the politics
The group and its members, along with their meaningless drama


Get your lips ready, gonna gag, gonna make you sick
Get ready to hear the truth, even if it's not what you want


You got dick when they passed out the good stuff
You got nothing when it comes to talent or intelligence


Bam are you sick of me?, good enough had enough
Are you tired of hearing me? Good, because I'm done


Fuck me! I'm all out of enemies
I have no more rivals or enemies to fight


Spit, spit
Expressing disgust and anger


Spit it out
Tell me what's on your mind
