  • I want to slit your throat and fuck the wound
    I want to push my face in and feel the swoon
    I want to dig inside, find a little bit of me
    'Cause the line gets crossed when you don't come clean

    My wormwood meets your pesticide
    You'll never get out, cause you were never alive
    I am infinite, I am the infant finite
    Come a little closer and I'll show you why

    No one is, safe
    Noises, noises, people make noises
    People make noises when they're sick
    Nothing to do except hold on to nothing

    No one is, safe
    Noises, noises, people make noises
    People make noises when they're sick
    Nothing to do except hold on to nothing

    How does it feel to be locked inside another dream
    That never had a chance of being realized?
    What the fuck are you lookin' at?
    I'll tell you what you're lookin' at
    Everyone you ever fuckin' laughed at

    Look in my eyes for the answers, typical
    I can feel it underneath like a miracle
    Everybody in the world needs more than
    Lies and consequences to power them
    Once again, it's me and no one else
    I can't remember if there was a someone else
    It's not mine, it's not fair, it's outta my hands
    And it's shaking, you'll never take me

    No one is, safe
    Noises, noises, people make noises
    People make noises when they're sick
    Nothing to do except hold on to nothing

    No one is, safe
    Noises, noises, people make noises
    People make noises when they're sick
    Nothing to do except hold on to nothing
    Nothing, nothing

    Hate, hate ain't enough to describe me
    Scream, somewhere between screaming and crying
    I'm not supposed to be here
    I'm not supposed to be

    Why, when do I get to know why?
    Bitter, bitter as the stink of when I try
    I'm not supposed to be here
    I'm not supposed to be

    Pull your hands away
    I'm gone, goodbye, it's so depressing
    Withering away
    Take a look, inside, my soul is missing
    All I have is dead, so I'll take you with me
    Feel like I'm erased, so kill me just in case
    I Feel like I'm erased, so kill me just in case
    So kill me just in case

    Covet, everything around me is mine
    Sty, can't see through the sties in my eyes
    I'm not supposed to be here
    I'm not supposed to be

    Down, scratching and clawing all the way
    Stay you won't let me fucking stay
    I'm not supposed to be here
    I'm not supposed to be

    Live is there another way to live?
    Die, 'cause it's the only way to die
    I'm not supposed to be here
    I'm not supposed to be Writer/s: Christopher Fehn, Corey Taylor, Craig Jones, James Root, Michael Crahan, Mickael Thomson, Nathan Jordison, Paul Gray, Sidney Wilson

  • Spike from Anadarko,oklahomaI love SlipKnoT ever since I heard them and that was in 2000 and I was 12 and I heard their debut album and it totally blew me away then when Iowa came out I was beyond amazed because it sounded nothing like anything at that time and Disasterpiece I felt that fire and anger and that rage raging through my emotions...I was bullied just because I was chubby and all that bull....plus I am Native American and I just felt out of place...but I am a outsider but grown up now and still love SlipKnoT.
  • AnonymousI can feel this song and every lyric. "Its outta my hands and it's shaking, you'll never take me". And when the rest fo the beand screams bo one is safe it describes my rage and how I just want to absolutely beat my bully to death. Love this song btw

    im gone
    goodbye
    your so depressing

    withering away
    take a look inside

    your soul is missing
  • Joe from Carver, MaSome songs have broad meanings that you as the listener do insert yourself, but there are many songs that are derived from something specific. pulse of the maggots was a shout out to the fans.....duality, AS STATED BY THE BAND has to do w/ having a tough decision and not knowing what to do but more or less being pushed into it.
  • Jerimias from Nuuk, GreenlandThis song rocks!
    I hate bullies!
  • Chenel from Salamanca, NyHey Rachel from Raleigh - beat the hell out of them. they won't know what hit 'em
  • Chenel from Salamanca, NyGreat song. Bullies suck. Um, yeah!
  • Joel from Columbia, ScDeath to all bullies. This song rocks.
  • Carl from Buffalo, NyThe opening line sets the tone for the song, and pretty much for the rest of the album as a whole. My favorite part is the middle part 'pull your hands away, im gone, goodbye, its so depressing, withering away, take a look, inside, my soul is missing, all i have is dead, so ill take you with me, i feel like im erased, so kill me just incase. The part kicks a$$ live.
  • Mike from Lisbon, Ndi love this song. Its a great "kick your a$$" kind of song that is always awesome to hear. I think my favorite part is "*HATE*hate aint enough to describe me, *SCREAM*somewhere between screaming and crying".the song just throws out so much rage its insane
  • Chris Owens from Belfast, Irelandnot only that....the very fact that he says.."my wormwood meets your pesticide" pesticide is a chemical that kills off insects....so in other words the music industry is killing bands. and that the music industry is just one big DISASTERPEICE!!!!!!!
  • Rachel from Raleigh, NcThis is my all-time favorite song ever! People bully me around and they make so frappin mad and I whant to kill them!
  • Dan from College Corner, OhHey guys a posted the lyrics from Black-goat.com for this song, hopefully they are correct.

  • William from London, EnglandYou can get all (excluding Vol.3) Slipknot meanings on loads of SlipKnoT fan websites. Also the Bully in this song i belive tried to sue corey saying he didn't bully him and was untrue (not so sure if the latter is true)
