Dont Get Close
Slipknot .::WwW.MiNiNorG.CoM::. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Somebody give me some light
Not pointed into the dark
Somebody show me the end
Not trying to push a start
Not trying to figure out
A better way, a better answer
But I keep finding all the problems
I've been looking after

Don't get wound up in the world
With nothing but a smile
I'll take a ton of words
And use them to instill denile
Don't get close
You don't know me
And you'll never know
Shivelry, will get you somewhere
Rivalry, will take you there

Don't get close
You don't know me
And you'll never know
Shivery, will get you somewhere
Rivalry, will take you there
Maybe I should look away
Before I really miss
Maybe I should pick the time
Before I pick the place
I bet you all the things
That you emulate, you penalize
But I don't want to go
Before you learn to finalize

Don't get close
You don't know me
And you'll never know
Shivelry, will get you somewhere
Rivalry, will take you there
Don't get close
You don't know me
And you'll never know
Shivery, will get you somewhere
Rivalry

You assitane the plot
My vision's overshot
I have the best confection
I was gone for all the lessons
Who coined these words I use
Stay out and be abused
I didn't want to be
The undeniable source of everything

Don't get close
Don't get close
Don't get close
Don't get close
Don't get close
You'd better stay away
Don't get close
You'd better stay away
Don't get close
You'd better stay away
Don't get close
You'd better stay away

Need change, watching all the conflicts
Constrict, push the fist in, squeeze it
I can not resist, claws and fist
Remember, remember
You take the rivalries
And never made much sense
I have the worst possession
What I want is so insensitive
Stay out and be abused
Cause this is so confused
I only want to be
Left over, now run away

Don't get close
Don't get close
Don't get close
Don't get close
Don't get close
You'd better stay away
Don't get close
You'd better stay away




Don't get close
You'd better stay away

Overall Meaning

In "Don't Get Close," Slipknot delivers a message that they don't want people getting too close to them, either physically or emotionally, and emphasizes that they are not to be underestimated. They are not interested in starting anything new or finding better solutions, as they feel that all they have found are problems. They warn people that shivery will get them somewhere while rivalry will take them there, suggesting that they prefer to stand alone rather than have someone thinking they can compete with them.


The lyrics also talk about the band's vision being overshot and their desire to be left alone. They question who coined the words they use and whether others truly understand what they mean. Slipknot seems to be struggling with being the undeniable source of everything, feeling trapped and wanting to be left alone.


One interesting fact about "Don't Get Close" is that it was released as a bonus track for the UK version of Slipknot's self-titled album in 1999. Additionally, Slipknot's vocalist Corey Taylor has stated that the song was written about people who judge others without knowing their true story.
