Slipknot is well known for its attention-grabbing image, aggressive style of music, and energetic and chaotic live shows. The band rapidly rose to fame following the release of their eponymous debut album in 1999. The 2001 follow-up album, Iowa, although darker in tone, made the band more popular. After a brief hiatus, Slipknot returned in 2004 with Vol. 3: The Subliminal Verses, before going on another hiatus and returning in 2008 with its fourth album, All Hope Is Gone, which debuted at number one on the US Billboard 200 chart. 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. Their seventh studio album, The End, So Far, was released on September 30, 2022. The band has released two live albums titled 9.0: Live and Day of the Gusano: Live in Mexico, a compilation album titled Antennas to Hell, and five live DVDs. The band has sold 30 million records worldwide.

Slipknot Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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
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.
Line by Line Meaning
Did you never give a damn in the first place
You never cared in the beginning
Maybe it's time you had the tables turned
It’s time for you to experience what I have
'Cause in the interest of all involved I got the problem solved
The problem has been solved for everyone's benefit
And the verdict is guilty
You are guilty
Man nearly killed me
You almost caused my death
Steppin' where you fear to tread
You only act tough when you feel safe
Stop, drop and roll you were dead from the get-go!
You were never a threat in the first place
Big mouth fucker stupid cocksucker
You talk big but you're an idiot
Are you scared of me now?
Do you finally realize I'm a threat?
Then you're dumber than I thought
You are even less intelligent than I originally assumed
Always is and never was
You have always been and will always be irrelevant
Foundation made of piss and vinegar
You are fueled solely by anger and bitterness
Step to me, I'll smear ya think I fear ya? bullshit!
If you try to fight me, I'll easily defeat you
Just another dumb punk chompin' at this shit
You are just another idiot trying to start trouble
Is there any way to break through the noise?
Is there any way to have a genuine conversation?
Was it something that I said that got you bent?
Did I say something that upset you?
Gotta be that way if you want it
If you want to fight, that's how it has to be
Sanity, literal profanity, hit me!
I'm losing my mind, swear at me all you want, it doesn't matter
Spit it out
Say what you have to say
All you wanna do is drag me down
You are trying to bring me down
All I wanna do is stamp you out
I want to get rid of you completely
Maybe it's the way you gotta spread a lotta rumor fodder
You spread a lot of rumors
Keepin' all your little spies and leavin' when you realize
You keep tabs on people and leave when you're exposed
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
If you're smart, you'll stop talking and apologize
Back stab don't you know who you're dissin'?
You're disrespecting someone who had your back
Side swipe we know the ass that you're kissin'!
We know you’re sucking up to someone else
Biggity-biggidy bitch boy, halfway hauser
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 up and get a face full o'tactic
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
