Slipknot drummer Chris Fehn (#3), says of "Surfacing": "It basically encompasses everything. Kind of encompasses the attitude of the band and the attitude of how we feel about life: Don't judge me. Everything that you think that you know about the world, and about Slipknot, and about your own life, might not be the case. So I think it's just openmindedness and just be cool." (Thanks to Chris for speaking with us about this song. Read his full interview in the Songfacts Interviews.)

This song came about when the band went to Los Angeles for the first time for the Mate. Feed. Kill. Repeat CD. They went to a party and there were some very stuck up people there, so Slipknot let them know how crazy the Midwest is. (thanks, cyndi - ft. madison, IA)

Comments:

I agree with luke. Slipknot is good but they have nothing on slayer. Slayer made but the power riffs and power chords your hearing. So praise to your anthem but all praise be to slayer!!!!!!!!!!1

After I've listened to this song on a bad day, it's suddenly not a bad day anymore.! I feel crazy, careless and f*cking free!

Mike, it's the phrase for metalheads under the age of 14 everywhere who haven't heard Slayer

Corey wrote this song while he was on his graveyard shift at the adult emporium. He called his friend up and said I'm gonna be screaming this in front of kids and they'll be screaming it back at me. His friends are like yeah right, you'll be playing in bars for your whole life. Look where he is. THIS SONG IS YOUR NEW NATIONAL ANTHEM!
- Vanessa, Orlando, FL

one of my favorites by slipknot, personally, their version on slipknot 9.0 live, is really great, i love it. anything live by slipknot is really intense. seeing them live was really amazing. corey looked like a god up on stage, and when they played this song i went crazy.
