Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Pentex sucks! Pentex sucks!
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!

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

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Slipknot's self-titled song are often interpreted as a battle call by a werewolf against corporations and organizations that harm his tribe's existence. The lyrics are filled with references to werewolf culture, terminologies and slangs, which may be confusing to those unfamiliar with it. In the first verse, the werewolf sings about his hatred for Pentex, a fictional global conglomerate that exploits natural resources, as well as Bonegnawers, a tribe that is known for its scavenging lifestyle. The werewolf believes that both organizations are responsible for draining the life force of his tribe, and hence his call for their demise.


In the second verse, the werewolf expresses his hatred for the Black Hand, which is another fictional organization that is controlled by the werewolf's enemies. The werewolf accuses the Black Hand of being wyrm-tainted, which means they have been contaminated by evil spirits that seek to destroy the werewolf's kind. The werewolf then declares that he would rip and tear them apart if he had the chance. The rest of the song describes the werewolf's transformation into Crinos, which is a powerful werewolf form, and his battles in the Umbra, which is a supernatural realm.

LYRICS:

This is the year where hope fails you
The test subjects run the experiments
And the bastards you know, is the hero you hate
But cohesing is possible if we strive
There's no reason, there's no lesson
No time like the present, telling you right now
What have you got to lose, what have you got to lose
Except your soul? Just listen

I fight for the unconventional
My right, and it's unconditional
I can only, be as real as I can
Because advantages, I never knew the plan
This isn't the way just to be a martyr
I can't, walk alone any longer
I fight, for the ones that can't fight
And if I lose, at least I tried

We, we are the new diabolic
We, we are the bitter bucolic
If I have to give my life you can have it
We, we are the pulse of the maggots

I won't, be the inconsequential
I won't, be the wasted potential
I can make it, as severe as I can
Until' you realize, I'll never take a chance
It isn't, just one side aversion
We've dealt, with a meanies diversion
And I won't, let the truth be perverted
I won't let another victim deserted

We, we are the new diabolic
We, we are the bitter bucolic
If I have to give my life you can have it
We, we are the pulse of the maggots

(We won't die)
Say it again, say it again

We fight, for the ones who can't fight us
We live, and no one can't stop us
We pulse, with a push too far
And the advantages are but a malice
We never, had to fight in the first place
We only, had to spit back at their face
We won't, walk alone any longer
What doesn't kill us, only makes us stronger

We, we are the new diabolic
We, we are the bitter bucolic
If I have to give my life you can have it

This is the year where hope fails you
The test subjects run the experiments
And the bastards you know, is the hero you hate
But cohesing is posssible if we strive
Theres no reason, theres no lesson
No time like the present, telling you right now
What have you got to lose, what have you got to lose
Except your soul...who's with us!

I fight for the unconventional
My right, and its unconditional
I can only, be as real as i can
The disadvantage is
I never knew the plan
This isn't the way just to be a martyr
I cant, walk alone any longer
I fight, for the ones who can't fight
And if I lose, at least I tried

We, we are the new diabolic
We, we are the bitter bucolic
If I have to give my life you can have it
We, we are the pulse of the maggots

I won't, be the inconsequential
I won't, be the wasted potential
I can make it, as severe as I can
Until you realize
You'll never take a stand
It isn't, just a one-sided version
We've dealt, with a manic subversion
And I won't, let the truth be perverted
And I won't leave another victim deserted

We, we are the new diabolic
We, we are the bitter bucolic
If I have to give my life you can have it

We live, and no one can stop us
We pull when we're pushed too far
And the advantages is
The bottom line is
We never, had to fight in the first place
We only, had to spit back at their face
We won't, walk alone any longer
What doesn't kill us, only makes us stronger

[Intro]
This is the year where hope fails you
The test subjects run the experiments
And the bastards you know is the hero you hate
But cohesion is possible if we try
There's no reason, there's no lesson
No time like the present, tell me right now
What have you got to lose?
What have you got to lose except your soul?
Who's with us?

[Verse 1]
I fight for the unconventional
My right and it's unconditional
I can only be as real as I can
The disadvantage is I never knew the plan
This isn't just a way to be a martyr
I can't walk alone any longer
I fight for the ones who can't fight
And if I lose, at least I tried!

[Chorus]
(We) we are the new diabolic
(We) we are the bitter bucolic
If I have to give my life, you can have it
(We) we are the pulse of the maggots

[Verse 2]
I won't be the inconsequential
I won't be the wasted potential
I can make it as severe as I can
Until you realize you'll never take a stand
It isn't just a one-sided version
We've dealt with a manic subversion
I won't let the truth be perverted
And I won't leave another victim deserted

[Chorus]
(We) we are the new diabolic
(We) we are the bitter bucolic
If I have to give my life, you can have it
(We) we are the pulse of the maggots

[Post-Chorus]
(Do you understand?) Yes
(Do you understand?) Yes
(Do you understand?) Yes
(Do you understand?) Yes

[Guitar Solo]
....

[Bridge]
Say it again, say it again
(We won't die)
Say it again, say it again
(We won't die)
Say it again, say it again
(We won't die)
Say it again, say it again
(We won't die)
Say it again, say it again
(We won't die)
Say it again, say it again
(We won't die)
Say it again, say it again
(We won't die)
Say it again, say it again
(We won't die)

[Verse 3]
We fight 'til no one can fight us
We live and no one can stop us
We pull when we're pushed too far
And the advantage is, the bottom line is
We never had to fight in the first place
We only had to spit back at their face
We won't walk alone any longer
What doesn't kill us only makes us stronger

[Chorus]
(We) we are the new diabolic
(We) we are the bitter bucolic
If I have to give my life, you can have it
(We) we are the pulse of the maggots

[Post-Chorus]
(Do you understand?) Yes
(Do you understand?) Yes
(Do you understand?) Yes
(Do you understand?) Yes

[Outro]
Say it again, say it again
(We won't die)
Say it again, say it again
(We won't die)
Say it again, say it again
(We won't die)
Say it again, say it again
(We won't die)

The energy is so liberating. People who don't listen this type of music will never understand.

That's why we usually have the best mental health usually unlike non metal listeners

@TVINC.

LIBERATE. BANANAS.

@cminchey0909

It’s the only reason why we tolerate them as much as we do it turns the volume down in all maggots

@Kovafox89

RIP Joey Jordison.He will always be in our hearts and headphones.

@Kkarlton

Do you think Joey and the Rev are having a drum battle where ever they are? I sure hope so

@Kovafox89

@my house I really hope so man.
We might not know each other, but i can honestly tell you Rev’s death hit me harder. I was drinking Guiness beers a couple of days ago, reminiscing Rev and saying to my girlfriend that it was Rev’s favorite beer, and that i’m hoping they’re both good now, chilling and having drum sessions. What a coincidence. Thanks for your awesome comment. Take care.

@offxcialtoddo
