You said two things that absolutely hit the nail right on the head: 1. The opposite of love is not hate, it's apathy. 2. No one can complete another person, they both have to be a whole. No truer words have ever been spoken!

[@craighenry9512]

Love and hate are opposites. Apathy is a neutral feeling. Whereas, you can occasionally get away with apathy, most things in life need a feeling one way or the other, and especially something as emotional as a relationship. Apathy is emotional withdrawl from a situation. I understand why one might express it to protect oneself from more pain. But if it continues, you lose the other person in the relationship, because everybody needs interaction and emotional investment

[@dharvell]

@@craighenry9512 Which sounds like the opposite of what love is.

[@LongandWeirdName]

@@craighenry9512 Oh, Craig... How I envy you. Love and hate are very close cousins. You have to really love to hate. See Eminem's song Kim. If he never loved her, he would NOT be able to boil into the rage he expresses in that one. The passion is the same with both cousins. It's just your goals that shift. And even that's not completely true. You want them to feel what you're feeling. You want them to experience what you're experiencing. In both cases. You crave to show them on a level both emotional and physical how they make you feel. Express those urges that are dying to get out. And changing one into the other, love into hate, is as simple as one act of betrayal. One step across that thin line that separates them. Aparhy is really a much better fit. It is the lack of caring. The lack of interest. The absolute lack of Fs to give. You could not care less. And that is the opposite of both love and hate, where you couldn't care more in both cases.

[@JasonStriker78]

Honest truth. I got to know, hang out with Slipknot since first seeing and meeting them in ‘99 at Ozzfest. Corey Taylor has been through so much in his life. Even survived suicide before, became sober and helps fans and people no matter what his fame is. There music and even conversations we’ve had has helped me so much towards my own struggles of mental health and past suicide attempts. If it wasn’t for the fact that I met Corey Taylor, read his books, know he was also a survivor of many kinds of abuse in his childhood, I would not had been able to find a comfort to where I was able to let people know I am survivor of sexual, physical, verbal, emotional abuse from my own childhood all these years later. Sometimes, our most hurts can be used to help others. Thanks for what you do, Amanda. I just found this video last week as a suggested video from the Slipknot videos I watch.

[@AlternativeFrequency]

I’ve watched several reactions/responses to Snuff and this is by far the most intelligent and on point commentary I have heard. You put into words perfectly why I am so taken over by this song. There’s nothing more insulting than when someone says “you’ll get over her/him/it” or “just don’t think about them”. It’s hard to speak about things that hurt that you’re passionate about when you know nobody cares. Some wounds aren’t meant to heal. Some we don’t want to heal.

[@LongandWeirdName]

Some wounds we shouldn't allow to heal. Some we should keep revisiting and reminding ourselves of. Ripping off the scabs and making sure to scar up there. To be prepared. To remember. To never be hurt like that again. Some wounds are left by things we survived by the skin of our teeth. Things we would NOT survive again. Things we need to see the early warning signs of, so we don't make the same mistake again and notice when it's already too late to back down.

[@danielleholt8027]

"some wounds are not meant to heal" That sentiment is something I feel so deeply I had it tattooed on me. So many people truly do not understand what that statement means and why it's so important. I find it hard to explain to people, so it's always nice to come across anyone who understands this. This song is interpreted in COUNTLESS ways by so many people, which just proves how extraordinary this song is. Its really rare to find a song that is so effective as this one.

[@Just...Peachy]

​@@LongandWeirdNameWow. Well said!

[@stevenyoung9866]

This is probly one of the most honest reactions I've ever seen. Your understanding and empathy that you've shown to this painted picture of a state of mind and being is truly beautiful. This is a very hard song for me to listen to especially because I know that I've done exactly this in relationships that could have worked out if I hadn't been so afraid what would have never happened if I didn't will it to be so. Idk sometimes it's just nice to see somebody even through a phone screen that can relate and has a similar mind set as me, a growing person. Thank you for that

And when he does its like he is raising me from the gutter. For me atleast it's a song when I'm hurting will bring the tears, when I'm starting to feel good it will uplift me even more.

[@truck93]

My favorite lines are "Angles lie to keep control". "If you still care don't ever let me know". This is such a great song, deffently not thier normal song. If you didn't notice Corey Taylor is the girl, I believe it symbolizes that he is carring out her memory after she is gone. Corey Taylor is such a great singer, I met him one, he is a great guy too. There is a live acustic version that is amazing.

[@bobmiller6870]

I don't post often, in fact, this may be my first time posting on your channel, but for one who has been through a marriage where I was betrayed by my partner and then dealing with the mental and emotional anguish, the depression from that loss, this song hits home in the feels for me. It's cathartic. I've probably listened to "Snuff" hundreds of times, and it still reaches down into my soul and hits me the same every time. I tried to deal with the pain and loss of that relationship by drowning it and self-medicating with alcohol. I probably was already dealing with depression before the failed marriage from a traumatic experience I had as a child, but either didn't realize it or want to admit it. The divorce was enough of a catalyst to push me into the pit where I couldn't hide it. Music was one of the things that helped pull me out of the bottle, and it is people like Corey Taylor sharing their own struggles and pain through that medium, especially with songs like "Snuff," where you realize you aren't alone in feeling the way you do that is a big reason why. While the studio version of the song and video is good, I prefer the stripped-down, acoustic version with just Corey Taylor, his 6-string, and the crowd. This song has always been a difficult one for Taylor to perform live, to get through, and you can really see the emotion come through when he sings it. I highly recommend that you or anyone that watches your reaction take the opportunity to watch it if they haven't yet. You can find the video on Corey Taylor's channel or just search Corey Taylor Snuff acoustic. Enjoyed this reaction. Keep doing what you do Amanda. Thank you.

[@historyanticz6640]

Being suicidal myself, this song really strikes deep and cold into my own self-conscious. "My heart is just to dark to care." I can relate with that so much, I've had it at times, where I would literally shout at people not at what they said, but by how something inside myself clicked with one of their actions. I'm a Self-harm survivor as well, I've been cutting myself ever since my grandfather died, and that's the only way I can express my pain physically. Life has been dragging me under, and I've written lyrics as a form to ratify myself, and to express my emotion outside of hurting myself. Truly, the best music in my opinion comes from heart-ache, because everyone can actually relate, apart from songs that sing about being rich/drunk/happy. Those songs are all lies, that's the main reason I'm a metal guy, the music actually understand you.

The live accoustic version by Corey is amazing - and has more emotion as it was recorded after his good friend in the band (Paul Gray) had died Its not really a representation of Slipknot as a band - most of it is super aggressive hardcore metal (but ace at the same time) but deals with a lot of issues around depression, mental health, alcohol and drug addiction and more. This song is beautiful.

[@dancole2994]

I'd imagine the hardest part is that one partner who understands it and can be mentally resilient as you described, is only human and will have days where they react and they will have to carry a large weight on their shoulders. You'd need friends and family to 'get it' and support too and that's unfortunately rare to find people that mature. Both parties in the relationship would need a support team. Thanks for sharing.

[@headphones2006]

My two favorite lyrics are “If I can change, I hope I’ll never know” and “I only wish you weren’t my friend, then I could hurt you in the end” I was and still am those lyrics. I’m working on it so damn much and I have a partner that showed me the biggest show of love. She discovered something I was doing that hurt her to her core. We barely talked for almost an entire week. In my head, I’m creating all these scenarios in my head because I know she’s gonna leave. We finally talked about what I did, waiting for the words, but instead of leaving, she tells me that she knows that this is not who I am. She looked me in my eyes and told me she would be with me through this journey of healing I’m going on. For years, I knew I needed to change, but no one else did. I kept secrets from everyone. My therapist actually told me I create and bubble of secrets to protect myself. She pierced that bubble and still chose me. I genuinely believe I still wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for her.

Those thoughts reached my soul and ive deceided to turn my back on those 2 friends to avoid being hurt again and I pretty much keep a distance from other people I know and not accepting them in my friend zone. When you said that you would push people away to avoid hurting them or let ur darkness on them, it makes me see the things the other way. What if I was pushing them back to avoid hurting them instead of being hurt? Wow never thought about it. Sadly it makes no difference for me. Feel like I need to keep them away, no matter if its to avoid being hurt or hurt them.😢

[@MentalAmanda]

What if pushing them away is hurting you both?

[@helloween665]

Im really mixed up about those relations. Thank you and keep up the good work! :)

[@duanemusso544]

Wanna hear an even more powerful version of this song. Check out Corey singing it acoustic on his solo tour a few years ago. kzbin.info/www/bejne/h3OuZ6uvotJ-fq8

[@Droidysseus]

I hope that someone finds you and gives you what you need. We all deserve that. Sometimes, it just takes later in life than we'd hoped for that to happen.

[@philthemovieguy81]

The live acoustic version is even more raw and emotional.

[@AndrewSmoot]

I was going to find, and link, that version; but, I've seen that one destroy even those whom society considers "stable"...and, someone else already beat me to it.

[@aidaneckart5054]

Hi there, I'm new here. I came for the song, stayed for the reaction, walked away with a relation. I don't know you and you don't know me but you're not alone. Be strong, be happy, and never give up! You picked out many things from this song that others just can't. There's always a deeper meaning if you can find it. Slipknot is heavy. Sometimes musically, sometimes lyrically. Thanks for reacting to one of my favs for many reasons.

[@nleonc00]

hey! please react to Monsters by Shinedown! It's anamazing song with a powerful meaning! You'll like it! Keep doing your videos! They're amaing!

[@TGIFrank]

I've been watching a wide variety of music reactions lately and I was genuinely surprised when you spoke so candidly about your BPD. My fiance was raised in a broken home and her mother and likely more than one of her siblings is textbook BPD and it's shocking and frankly terrifying how dramatically their whims can affect our entire family from day to day. You seem very well adjusted and it gives me hope for them that they too can some day learn to find peace and harmony in their own lives. Well, not my mother in law, because she's also a sadistic psychopath so...

[@MentalAmanda]

BPD absolutely can be managed and those living with it can have happy and fulfilling lives and relationships. They have to be aware of the disorder and actively working on emotional regulation and family members have to be educated about the disorder and supportive. I plan to create more content about living with BPD so stay tuned!😊

[@TGIFrank]

@@MentalAmanda The mother who is the chaotic center is fortunately mostly out of the picture but as far as I know she hasn't been officially diagnosed with anything. She has done prison time though and frankly should do much more. The girls were diagnosed early on but are still in their 20s and seem to use their conditions as an excuse for erratic behavior rather than actually trying to manage or understand their issues and the family members who still have relationships with them generally seem to do the same. "Oh, so and so did something crazy? Well yeah she has X and Y and used to be on Z meds." "Oh yeah? Is she still in therapy? On meds?" "Oh no she's done with all that. That's just how they are." "Ok cool thanks call me when the house is on fire... again..."

[@MentalAmanda]

@@TGIFrank That's unfortunate because BPD can only be managed when the person living with it takes action and those close to him/her are supportive.

[@williamkramer9731]

I personally would've recommended the live acoustic.... Another good song of there's, about picking yourself up, is XIX

[@dag9336]

I teared up to your reaction, as I always do when I listen to snuff, I won’t lie. you nailed most of my thoughts and interpretation of the song. You said something that will make me think for a while, “you need to be two wholes and not two halves, like you need someone else to function”…I was like…f***…the way I see the video it’s just somebody tormented by the end of a story that gets tangled so much in a bargaining-remembrance-rejection loop that he starts to…yeah, identify as the other half too, cause as you said…he wasn’t able to be a whole by himself. I hate when people think this video is weird. From the moment right before the music slows down, I believe to be the most beautiful song/video representation ever made. Stay healthy , much love from Italy.

[@dag9336]

Congrats for the 13.000! Round number right now!

[@dad148]

His acoustic version is even more powerfull

[@ThatCheekyWalrus]

Wow. Love and hate require the same amount of passion. That made me cry, that was beautiful.

[@josephstalin322]

Not so fun fact: Corey Taylor (the lead vocalist) has attempted Suicide around 6 times

[@MentalAmanda]

Hopefully he is healing now

[@geoffreynolds3157]

“If you still cared, you’ll never let me know.” This set of lyrics can describe every heartbreak and break up I’ve ever experienced. Cory Tayler is one of my favourite lyricists of all time.

[@maiqtheliar_]

I appreciate the fact that you are very open about your disorder... I find a very hard time dealing with mine because people tend to get away if I'm being honest

[@MusicmyZombie]

Once again here I am...corey you have saved me so many times....your pain is my pain....thank you

[@williamdenton1410]

Bless You, your efforts, and willingness to share, I was with someone with Borderline Personally Disorder. The fear of abandonment, the pushing away, the "I hate you.... Please don't leave me." Was too much and I did what I thought she wanted.... I left. I had NO CLUE what I was dealing with, wish I'd had known at the the time. Mental pain is as bad, no, worse, than physical pain. Keep up your good work.

[@Joep813]

i personally have been in a long journey dealing with shit. Thank you for covering this song. I am looking forward to my next appointment. Its been a while but im at a point i need someone to talk to. My wife is very supportive but what you said in this video made me realize that i cant just rely on her to help me fix everything as she is going through her own journey.

[@MentalAmanda]

I am so humbled to have been able to offer this insight for you and I'm very proud of you for seeking help. 💗

[@aaron.biketrials]

This reaction video hit me hard... I discovered this song recently and I cry anytime I try and sing along... I'm glad I found your channel! 7:15 I've done this...😓

[@johnhornbeakjr7147]

As a Combat Army vet who has been homeless and addicted to painkillers, our families have been through hell as well. My x wife especially. Thank you.

[@MentalAmanda]

Thank you for your sacrifice

[@thereala2812]

Maggot here, thanks for the video. You did great. Slipknot has on occasion stopped shows to talk about mental health. The band is a huge subject matter expert on the topic as much of its history is dark, convoluted and rife with conflict. Thanks for the vid and what you do on here.

[@fallenangel1488]

I loved it when you said we can save a lot of heartache if people could say I love you and I know your hurting I wish people I cherish dearly could see when I'm in pain but I'm trying to stop put up my walls when I'm suffering I pushed away a girl I loved when I was in the middle of a transition from high school to the real world I was missing all my former teachers that had a positive effect on me and I was dealing with the loneliness that lead to depression since I did virtual school my senior year I was also dealing with some friends of mine who took their lives that weighed heavily. I got the help i needed. Slipknots song snuff gives me those memories of the hurt I've endured and given out as my defense mechanism.

[@MentalAmanda]

Keep reaching out. Those who matter don't mind and those who mind don't matter!

[@joeseconi250]

I’ve heard this song so many times but watching you’re physical reaction really hit home. You are such a brave person to bare yourself here and I understand so much more now about this song . Thank you so much for trusting us. Sending you a big hug from NYC

[@nhogan84]

When I got divorced in 2018, I played this song over 300 times (thanks Spotify for telling me THAT at the end of the year). I was in so much pain, and so much of this song resonated with me then. "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." I felt that pain so raw, and it felt like this was precisely the song my soul was trying to sing in my tears and rage.

[@MentalAmanda]

I hope that you are finding healing. Divorce can be brutal. I got divorced in 2021 and it was a rollercoaster emotionally.

[@alexkitner5356]

I always seem to come back to this video, not just because of how strong the feelings i get from this song are but how Amanda is able to put the feelings I cant express into words. The way she understands that desperate begging, heart and soul, for what cannot be had or what is lost. Its always at the times when my marriage is at rock bottom again, my good but resentful wife to fight with me, the way I wish she would fight and say that. That whe knows im hurting instead of resenting that hurt. Alas it seems that after many roller coaster rides Im just not good enough, not going to have her understand or say that and that the loss thats more than my haunted soul can take is more than one can or should bear. More regret than i can live with... How much I would give to have for those simple words... Words that could save a life from the person who should be the first to be there... Just nice to hear them said, even if not personally. Dont know how much longer i can hold the demons back, feel like im on an island and keep going, not much will left in this beaten soul but I know the last thoughts will be of those words that went unspoken...

[@MentalAmanda]

I felt that way after my divorce too, but that voice isn't ours. It's theirs. They put it in our heads. Please keep fighting. You are absolutely good enough. 💖

[@HeyItsCj_1993]

Slipknot is amazing and people who arent into metal often look past them because of how heavy they are but there are songs like this that really hit hard and deep

[@JEFFwasHERE...]

JEFF was HERE too 🏆 have a great day Amanda.. new sub

[@christernorlisvenningsen9197]

The live version with Corey Taylor in London is a must see. It's so much "cleaner", no distraction from his feelings. I appreciate that version so much, often end up with tears in my eyes. I've had some hard times the last years. You can say I've discovered music, especially song with deep meaning. Thank you for been open about mental health.

[@VincentCallan]

I came so close to taking my own life in July 2023, like so fucking close... I'd never heard Snuff before and stumbled across it during my recovery. The song has become part of my healing journey in that it literally screams "you are not alone when you are in your pain" when I hear it, and rather than wallowing, its liberating and empowering to hear Corey sing those words with such authenticity and vulnerability. Thank you for your analysis Amanda, I've been on a journey with my shadow this past year and that exploration has had some interesting results... Marriage ended, I nearly ended my life I got help, counseling and professional support I lost my job I lost my home And then, I had nothing left to "live up to" So I got to choose I chose to not be a people pleaser anymore. I chose to show up for my kids I chose to show up for my friends and family I even chose to show up for my ex,( and her new partner btw) as a co parent. And I chose to return to what makes me feel truly alive... Empowering kids and young people and my community, giving them the voice I never had. And making music, honest , authentic, vulnerable "it doesn't fucking matter if I good,or if people like it, or even if I finish it, I'm gonna do it anyway" music Thank you for posting this video, I appreciate the time, effort and energy you put into it,it touched my soul ❤🤘

[@MentalAmanda]

Last July was actually a nightmare month for me too. Glad we survived and are making the best choices we can!

[@theplaguepadart3743]

You're absolutely right. Love and hate are not opposites because I can love someone and hate them.

[@domstone6344]

YOU are so on point with splitting comment concerning this song & vid bravo

[@tplude1]

I am happy I came across this video it is making so much sense with a situation I am in now

[@richardashworth400]

"It took the death of hope you let you go...." - Arguably the deepest lyric i've ever heard. Haunts me every damn time i hear this track.

[@grmpghst]

This song has always helped me when I needed it. Another song to check out by slipknot is a liars funeral, that song hits really deep in my opinion.

[@danostrowski4079]

Thanks for reviewing this one. It's such a strong, emotional song for a lot of people. It hits me every time, but you opened my mind to hearing it from the opposite perspective. I, like quite a few commenters, just had a marriage fall apart, but your comments have really opened my eyes to what happened....maybe she didn't quit on me, maybe I quit on her? It just gets tiresome, and is not fun to do over and over. Anyways....I'm glad I stumbled on this. Thank you.

[@davidespinoza1606]

Just happened on your channel and everyday is a struggle, appreciate you doing what you do. I'm not alone and you aren't alone.
