The Meaning:

What I think: I think this is a song about one of Corey's girlfriends/ex-wife that gave up on him.

What others think:

"this song is nothing short of amazing to me. can't beleive its slipknot "
"They have come so far, it's amazing. I loved them back in their heaviest of times, and I still love them in their newer skin. Maggot for life"

"Beautiful! When i heard Slipknot first 2 songs i thought this album was gonna be different than the vol 3 but i stand corrected. Its actually much more complex. Its amazing how Slipknot has such a wide range of music. All Hope Is Gone is a masterpiece with songs like this all the way to their usualy heavy stuff like Gematria and All Hope Is Gone. Now the meaning of this song. I sorta think its another love song like Vermilion both 1 and 2 in the past album. It might be even directed to Scarlet (his ex wife). It does seems that he sings it with a greaat passion like if the song means the world to him. Well all I can say is amazing. The lyrics are so meaningful. Keep up the good work Slipknot!"

Lyrics
Bury all your secrets in my skin Come away with innocence, and leave me with my sins The air around me still feels like a cage And love is just a camouflage for what resembles rage again

So if you love me, let me go And run away before I know My heart is just too dark to care I can't destroy what isn't there. Deliver me into my fate If I'm alone I cannot hate I don't deserve to have you My smile was taken long ago If I can change I hope I never know

I still press your letters to my lips And cherish them in parts of me that savor every kiss I couldn't face a life without your light But all of that was ripped apart when you refused to fight

So save your breath, I will not hear I think I made it very clear You couldn't hate enough to love Is that supposed to be enough? I only wish you weren't my friend Then I could hurt you in the end I never claimed to be a saint My own was banished long ago It took the death of hope to let you go

So break yourself against my stones And spit your pity in my soul You never needed any help You sold me out to save yourself And I won't listen to your shame You ran away, you're all the same Angels lie to keep control My love was punished long ago If you still care, don't ever let me know If you still care, don't ever let me know

=All Hope Is Gone=

This song is also from the album, All Hope Is Gone. This is another one of my favorites. I like this one because of the drums.

The Meaning:

What I think: I think song is about all the political problems we are having. If you read the lyrics you can kinda see that.

What others think: "I think its about how the hope for this world is gone."

"this track is also a reflection of what slipknot is. Just when you thought you had us all figured out, give up all hope because youre never, ever going to." --Corey Taylor

"Definately a political song and it's about our current state right here in the US and how politicians like Bush (The devils among us) and all th eworthless congress are just tricking the people at every turn.

But it's also saying we are so dumb that we won't unite and we don't really care (apathy) that the government is screwing us so we will all burn for it."

A broken promise is as good as a lie ** The hell is humongous, the Devil's among us And we will burn because we won't unite!
 * The state of the nation - violation!

We won't witness anymore freedom What does anybody do we need 'em? I would rather fight, than let another die. We're the problem, but we're also the solution.

ALL HOPE IS GONE!!!

If you want you cannot take it from me. If you think you can, you still don't know me. Let me tell you, when I said it, I meant it And I will always have the right to defend it.

Fifty seconds, a hundred murders. The bill of rights is a bill of sale. What will you do when the war is over? What will you do when your system fails!?

We have made the present -obsolete. What do you want? What do you need? We'll find a way, When all hope is gone! We've seen the fall of the elite. Bury your life, Sink your disease. We'll end the world, When all hope is gone!

The wretched are the wounded, The hungry starved to death. At a place where no-one goes, The air itself is a final breathe. So discontinue, The antisceptic cash charade. As the cry of justice comes, I'm gonna let this fire free!

I am the reason your future suffers. I am the hatred you won't embrace. I am the worm of a pure distinction. I am the remedy, spit in my face! All your lies and wars are out-dated. All your subjects are dulling mind games. I can let all of another million reasons why, But doesn't matter when the only thing will never die!

=Dead Memories=

This is probably the second most popular song from the album All Hope Is Gone. This is my second favorite too. I like it because it's not as heavy as the other songs by Slipknot.

The meaning

What I think: I think this song is about bad memories/flashbacks Corey has had.

What others think: "I like this song alot, Corey actually sings instead of that odd growl he's developed on this album.

I think it's something to do about love, well obviously, and blah blah. Like some kinda fake love and when you finally get away from it, all you've got are bad memories. I really don't know or care; I just love when he sings."

"I don't feel like overanalysing this song since i feel like a broken tape recorder.

I reckon it's about him coming to terms with where the relationship or his past experiences have left him at present.

I think he might be regreting some of the experiences/memories he's gone through and wishes he could go back in time to prevent the problems from even occuring. But i think he realises that he's a slave to both fate and time. either that or he can't control the aftermath/consequences of his actions and decisions in life in his own favour. life doesn't always work out the way you want it to in the end.

"We were never alive, and we won't be born again."
this could be referring to a relationship thats gone bad. It's ended and won't be sparked up again. Or it could even be referring to the "other self", meaning the person he once was before the relationship. He was complete, an individual not needing to rely upon another until he committed himself to her, he let that bit of him die thinking he was a "changed man". Now he's left in the darkness once again and realises he can't go back to how he once was (living his life without her) and that part of him died the moment he let her into his life. His own independence removed since he probably became dependent on her to keep standing.

snuff, dead memories, gehenna (maybe other songs?) seem to share similiar concepts."

Sitting in the dark, I can't forget. Even now, I realize the time I'll never get. Another story of the Bitter Pills of Fate. I can't go back again. I can't go back again… But you asked me to love you and I did. Traded my emotions for a contract to

Commit. And when I got away, I only got so far. The Other Me Is Dead. I hear his voice inside my head… We were never alive, and we won't be born again. But I'll never survive with Dead Memories in my heart. You told me to love you and I did. Tied my soul into a knot and got me to submit.

So when I got away, I only kept my scars. The Other Me Is Gone. Now I don't know where I belong… We were never alive, and we won't be born again. But I'll never survive with Dead Memories in my heart. Dead Visions in your Name. Dead Fingers in my Veins. Dead Memories in my Heart
