Slipknot (YouTube) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
They drain the life force of my tribe Pentex sucks!
Bonegnawers suck!
Bonegnawers suck!
They roll around in garbage bins
All Bonegnawers suck!
(Pentex is bleeding but night is falling)
The Black Hand sucks!
Those wyrm-tainted bastard leeches Black Hand sucks!
If I had my way!
If I had my way!
I'd rend them all ripped and torn ALL THAT SUCKS DIES!!
(Sweet smell bleeding glow is melting me)
I bring my klave into battle Shifting into Crinos
I slay wyrm foe
Then I step sideways
You can't see me for I hide within the Umbra
The lyrics to the song Slipknot by the American heavy metal band Slipknot are full of rage, rebellion, and a primal urge to fight against oppression. The song starts with the repeated chanting of "Pentex sucks!" - Pentex being a fictional evil corporation in the World of Darkness role-playing game. The lyrics further revolve around the Bonegnawers, another tribe in the game, and the Black Hand, a group of villains within the game who serve a dark god named the Wyrm. The lyrics express a desire to fight against these oppressors and destroy them by any means necessary, even if it means shifting into a Crinos, a monstrous werewolf-like form.
The lyrics use a lot of violent language, but in the context of the World of Darkness game, it is a way of expressing the desire to fight against injustice and oppression. The song also hints at the supernatural powers in the game, such as stepping sideways and hiding within the Umbra. Overall, the lyrics reflect a rebellious and anti-authoritarian spirit and an urge to fight against evil.
