[@jennifertaylor8288]

Yes there is so much wisdom in Slipknot! Thank you! It drives me nuts when ppl, like my husband, ask me "how can you listen to that? It's so dark, angry and depressing" They just don't get it

[@Micro-Heartsupport]

Metal can definitely be difficult to approach for untrained listeners. I bet now I'd be upset by my own reactions of the first time I was introduced to bands like Gojira or Spetic Flesh 😆. It's a journey, with hopefully the possibility to create bridges with others through it sometimes! Love that you DO find music that resonate with your personally! It's pure magic when that kind of connection happens.

[@IllusionaryUsername]

It IS dark, angry & depressing. I am dark, angry & depressed. It is also cathartic to some extent for my hopeless repression but it never actually helps me to move on so I remain essentially stuck in the same situation. I just don't get people who say that this kind of music has helped them & saved their lives. Not my experience at all.

[@fijipodd]

I knew that I had found the right people to be around when they didn't ask why I listened turn the music I listen to

[@gnzlpico]

They only hear "Noise" and these people doesn't pay attention to the lyrics... they go by ear and rythm only

[@Phantomyona93]

I found your channel less than 24hrs ago and I’ve watched more than a dozen videos. I just turned 30 last year and I’ve been listening to Slipknot since 2006. I got to see them live in 2012 and it was magnificent. I’ve dealt with personal depression since high school and slipknot and all metal music has helped me through the darkness. Thank you @heartsupport for being a wonderful group to help us all with the best music that exists!

[@DarkKnight-q2d]

I really wish this woman was my therapist. Slipknot literally saved my life and she actually gets their music other than people just calling it noise.

Thank you so much for making these videos it's so validating to see a professional acknowledge the cathartic release I get from Slipknot music and metal in general and how therapeutic that can be instead of being shamed for "listening to sad angry music instead of getting real help"

[@kingthorgrim1591]

You put it right when you said it's about the pain of loss but also the pain of remembering that we've lost so much and changed because of it, I found out about this song 8 years ago when my grandfather had just passed away and nothing has been the same ever since then, I've really become an empty shell of my former self if I even was something to begin with, now days are just pain

[@HeartSupport]

From Micro: Thank you so much for sharing about this here, friend. I'm so sorry that life has been so heavy and painful for you, especially since you lost your grandfather. Losing someone we love dearly definitely changes lives. There is a before and an after, and as much as we wish to have the possibility to go back to the way things were, it is the burden of grief but to face that painful reality over and over. You said it's so well: it's not just about the loss itself - it's also about processing the transition it creates in our life, whether it's right after learning about the loss or even years later. When losing people I love, it has always been personally a storm to walk through. Like a major, brutal storm that would affect me and people in my life in ways that seem impossible to control. You see everything happening, you feel it all very deeply, but you can only try to ride the wave as best as you can. It is hard to face the reality of death, and to be unexpectedly forced to embrace life without the presence of some people. There is both this need to compose with their absence, yet at the same time to do what we can to live a life that we would love. But it often feels like there's just an impossible contradiction between those two realities - in practice, it feels wrong to have the possibility to breathe when others don't anymore. Then grief hits like unexpected waves that make you feel like the two steps forward you took would be now cancelled by ten steps backwards. It's so hard to deal with the heaviness of silence and emptiness that losses leave us with. It feels as if time has stopped - or at least a part of our life did. It makes it hard to put the pieces of the puzzle together again and to feel like jumping on the train of life. I feel with you and with all my heart the heartbreak you've been through when you lost your grandfather, and how much pain it has brought into your life. It's just hard to keep up with life when someone you love is not by your side anymore. It feels safer to stay immobile somehow, to allow time to freeze in our life not just temporarily. The pain that you feel is at the measure of the love you have for him, of the beautiful connection that existed between you two. It's a beautiful yet heavy legacy to carry on with you - now mostly on your own shoulders. Grief shapes our lives and changes us, but I can assure you though that something different can come out of it. Not a low version of life where you would be stuck in pain, and not a version where you would simply move on and forget - you can't forget anyway. There is a middle path, in between, where it is possible to keep embracing life *while* honoring the memory of your grandfather and the people you lost at the same time. It takes time to be forged, to be cultivated too, and for some of us it takes reaching out and receiving support - from family/friends or a therapist - to get through it. But as I am personally on that path now after drowning into feelings of guilt and emptiness due to grief, I simply wanted to send some hope your way that it *can* get better, and life can feel worthy again. The people you lost may not be present physically, but their love keeps shining through you. There is no distance of time and place that will ever take away from you the beauty of their heart, of their love and care for you, nor the love you feel for them. It is an integral part of you and of your story. It is a strength, a power in itself, a beautiful motivator that goes beyond death - as your grandfather and the people who love you would certainly wish for you to live a life that fulfills you. The version of you that you knew before your grandpa's passing may be gone, but you are not just an empty shell now. You lived, still. You survived, you coped, you tried. You may not be where you want to be now, but you never ceased to live and do what you could to push through. That is also a significant part of your story and not to be overlooked. It feels like being empty, but what it tells you is also that you have a world of possibility ahead to re-create yourself in light of what you've been through, of the pain you've been trying to compose with. You are not broken, you are not defeated. You are a painter trying to find the right colors to add to their own life. It's okay if it takes time, it's okay if it requires help. You are alive, my friend. There is more to see, more to unfold, more to experience in this life. A part of you is gone or changed, but *you* are here, and the very breath in your lungs may be one of your superpowers right now. I believe in you. :heart:

[@kingthorgrim1591]

Slipknot has helped my family get through so much. We all have been through so much in our short lives. There is a song I would really like you to listen to. Maybe you can explain to me why it is another song that has helped so much. It's called Vermillion part 2. I'm not sure why part 2 is better but it is. We would appreciate it. I'd explain what we have been through but it would take a very long time to explain everything. I am so glad I found this channel. I have only watched a couple videos and I love it.

[@marcelocampos.23]

Ow my heart! First of all, i discovered your channel by accident, and since then i have being watching some of your videos, and a lot of the things you say really give us inspiration. I use music whenever i need a dose of energy on some days, and on others i listen to bring back those 'Dead Memories'. I lost my brother in 2019, he had depression and took his own life, then i lost my mother in 2020, and my father in 2021. It's being a full year since i talked with a therapist and discovered i was dealing with anxiety, and one of the things i told her is that i listen to musics that reminds me of them, specially Metallica, Pear Jam, Silverchair and Live, but this one here by Slipknot hitted hard on me and make a lot of sense what i do, based on what you said about letting those dead memories come and go. Thank you for this one. Love and gratitude always. 💙 @heartsupport

[@rollingsenton]

@heartsuport Ahoy! I'm Blair the world's oldest maggot. And the grit in my nails is not from being unhygienic. It is evidence of my my existence, fighting and clawing from the gravity of the abyss. I am 52 years old and suffer from MDD. I stumbled upon your channel due to algorithms. While that id prefer not to watch the videos per say.( If I'm honest, I don't care for the theatrics).It's mostly ok to listen to them. Because you have been able to assess the lyrics in a literal sense in a way that is instinctively, and utterly genetic to me without interpretation. But it causes horrible blisters, knowing I was right!!! Their message is ingrained in my DNA. It really hurts me in hindsight that everyone misunderstood when I introduced them to it. I reckon that they were not subject to my pain. In short, you've validated everything I've known for well over 20 +yrs. I saw them in 2016, wore my Corey Taylor mask the whole time, and broke myself in half , singing and head banging the entire time. Infact it's the closest I've ever come to " religion" But I digress.... I am homeless in a very scary city. I've no freinds, or as it stands family. Having been recently and I fear finally shuned. I am perpetually suicidal. I write this diatribe only as a means to hopefully get some help , whereas the normal channels have failed me over and over. If nothing else. Thank you for your brutaly on point assessments! Much love - Blair

[@HeartSupport]

From bmao: @blairbeck4071 Blair! It s such a pleasure to speak with you- I'm so glad that we have this chance to connect! I know this is our first contact and we don't know each other too well, but I can tell that you are such a cool, unique, and wonderful person just through your message. You have such an eloquent way of speaking that is captivating! I am glad that the algorithm brought you here and that you're able to relate to the videos so much (or at least the audio of them!). The power of metal music is HUGE and it is so draining when other people write metal off and don't give it the time of day! They are missing out on such powerful emotions that just aren't expressed in other genres. I'm so sorry that others did not understand what helped you cope. They wrote off what helps you be you, and that us straight up sad. I understand where you are coming from, and I understand your connection with Slipknot. You are not alone in that. I'm so sorry to hear of your current situation. Far from home, alone, and not having a space where you can feel safe. The pressure to constantly have your own back must be so draining- never being able to let your guard down. I truly hope and pray that you will be able to find a sense of peace and some form of belonging in your new circumstances. Wherever you find yourself, know that you are not alone. Know that you matter more than words can describe. Simply being able to connect with you on this platform has brightened my day more than you can know, and I mean that wholeheartedly. I thank you so much for opening up and laying out your burdens. We as humans are made to carry each other through the struggle, and I am so proud of you for opening up and allowing other to do so for you. You mean so much Blair, and YOU make this world a better place. Though we may never meet face to face, I want you to know that I will be thinking of you and praying for you. You deserve to be seen, you deserve community with likeminded individuals, and you deserve love. I wish you nothing but the best. We are always here if you need anything from HeartSupport. Thank you for your honestly and I hope we have been able to help you out. Holdfast- we believe in you.

[@bluevette1978]

I avoided listening to this song for the last 8 months since I got out of an 18 year relationship with the mother of my 5 children because I resonated with it so much that I would break down crying. I literally did not know how to live without her, I had to and still am relearning how to exist as a person. I struggle with finding purpose without someone to take care of, but I am making progress.

Sure get damn pumped up over this shit eh? Actually refreshing to see. I'd have the same reaction too if I was new to the band and it's artistry. But after digesting it all over the last 20 plus years that shock effect of how good it is isn't at your level. But I must admit I'm really enjoying your take on all the possible meanings behind the songs and have sparked some of that enthusiasm for the music again. Would love to see you dissect "Killpop".

[@cpic3danes]

@heartsupport, I am forced to live the memories over and over like flippin groundhog day. This song as I sing along I find it moves me to angry tears. Takes me back to when my now ex walked out on me and our kids shortly after I'd lost my job. But I've still gotta see the witch every other weekend when it's my turn for having the kids. For the most part the feelings stay buried deep..but certain things bring them back.

[@HeartSupport]

From ThriceTheThird: @cpic3danes Hi!! Thanks for sharing how you relate and what you are going though. If you ever wanna unbury more of those feelings, feel free to share more with us! Hope you are having an alright day today. <3

[@HeartSupport]

From jpaga: @cpic3danes Hey, I’m glad you were able to unbury some of those feelings with us! It’s totally understandable that the situation you’re in elicits anger, but it’s important to find healthy outlets to let that out sometimes - especially considering the ongoing nature of the problem. I’m not sure if there’s anybody in your surroundings that you can turn to or any hobbies that can alleviate that tension, but in any case, don't forget we’re always here if you need to vent!!

[@HeartSupport]

From Micro: @cpic3danes It must be so hard to keep seeing your ex-wife, even if it is of course a good thing for the sake of your kids, and even if it may only be through brief moments. Somehow, it's enough to reactivate this deep pain that you've been carrying - and it makes absolutely sense to feel the way you do. Seeing her is like adding salt on an open wound. It makes the pain very raw again and it feels coming back to this sensation over and over slows the healing process as a whole. On the contrary, it feels like it pushes you backwards again and again while you've been deploying all your energy to take steps forwards and heal those wounds. As long as you can have control over it, it remains buried and out of sight. But sometimes there is something in your environment, something out of control, that reminds you of this cursed day and memories of when she left. I can only imagine how painful this time of your life must have been. On top of losing your job, losing the family you had at the time and just how life was. It's the type of season in life that makes you feel like the universe is making a really bad joke and forces you to rebuild everything all over again. It feels like your roots have been pulled out and you're forced to grow something again from what looks like nothingness, and without any tool handed to you. It's so hard to be in the midst of that type of storm, to cultivate hope when you see what you've built crumbling down around you. It's good to hear that this music can bring some relief somehow, even if it manifests through angry tears. There are emotions in you that deserve to be expressed and felt entirely, not to be pushed away and not to be endured unexpectedly. Somehow, you are releasing things that have been buried deep and need your attention, and you can be damn proud of yourself for letting it all out. These wounds that you carry take time to be healed, and it's understandable that you would still find yourself mourning over what has been lost. You will get there, friend. You will get to a point when this will be replaced as a part of your story, but not as something that would overwhelm your present anymore. I believe in you. :heart:

[@rapidpower5651]

Best song

[@adammccoy5166]

First off... Big fan of the channel. But i want to give my take on this song... I love my Country, but when i Joined the U.S.M.C. and went to Iraq back in 06, i learned that Uncle Sam is the shadiest MFer youll ever meet... He asked me to love him, and i did; and i have a lot of memories i wish i didnt from my 2 deployments. How can somebody do the things i had to do, and be the same person afterwords? I figure part of me is dead, part of me is still here. I just got whats left, and i got me a straw to suck it the fuck up and shuffle on. Maybe it just is what it is. But yeah, this is the song to explain why im not quite a complete person anymore

[@adammccoy5166]

Also, I agree... The Devil and I is kind of slipknots message, but to me, it's saying "Bear your scars with pride and joy, each is a souvenir of a time when the world tried to break you, and failed"

"Killpop" is a good one as well

[@HeartSupport]

From Micro: @kitcoakley1357 Hey friend, Thank you so much for reaching out here and sharing this. It means a lot that not only you've chosen to speak up and make yourself visible, but also that you did it during a moment that, I imagine, was bringing feelings of shame and discomfort altogether. It is SO hard to reach out during high moments of vulnerability, as the very first thing we would rather be doing is to keep on hiding away from others sight - and potentially of their judgment. But that's not what you've done here. You didn't hide - on the contrary. You have taken the brave step of adding light over your struggles and inviting complete strangers to be a part of your world, of this darkness you've been carrying with you, maybe silently, maybe for a significant time. I'm just a stranger on the internet, but I am SO proud of you for commenting here about this raw moment of vulnerability. By doing so, you ARE doing the work of acknowledging something that isn't bringing life or joy to you anymore, and your willingness to see the other side of it. This is huge. This is courageous. And I hope that it can be, for you, the first step that will fuel many others moving forward - no matter how small or big. Rest assured that no one judges you here. No one will think less of you because of your struggles. We all carry our own demons, and allowing ourselves to make them visible is a powerful way to start reducing their impact on us. To remind ourselves that we are not alone and there's people out there who understand. You are worthy, you matter, even during these moments of removing alcohol off your hand. This does not define you, friend. You absolutely belong. You are absolutely worthy of being heard, of getting the support that you need, of healing altogether. The burdens you've been carrying don't need to stay hidden in your own shadow, for they happen to be a part of your life, but they do not define you. :heart: -Micro, Heartsupport Staff

[@kwantoon]

@@skrrt6975 You completely missed the point of my comment. It has nothing do with the music, it’s about the energy they give off. Early on it was about the music and being grateful for the fans, now it’s nothing but a corporation. That became painfully obvious when they fired Joey in an email like a bunch of pussies. I don’t care what anyone says, they did him dirty and he never recovered from that and I believe that ended being the reason he lost his life. Without Joey, there never would have been the Slipknot there is today.

@@kwantoon I didn't understand your point at first, my bad and I definitely understand where you're coming from, but I feel like seeing the bigger picture matters more here, the reason why they kicked Joey out, was because they thought he was doing drugs all the time (the entire song AOV is dedicated to this), the actual truth came out later and I respect Joey so much for this, he knew the reason why he was getting kicked out, even if it wasn't true, but he still didn't say anything to anyone for years, however, Joey did kind of act like a dick, while the band was grieving the loss of Paul, Corey in particular had a really bad time with it, he needed a break from recording songs and to come back when HE was ready, Joey was pissed about this and threatened to kick Corey out, they obviously couldn't really get along after that, Slipknot prioritized their iconic vocalist over their drummer, while Joey was absolutely one of the main reasons why we even have Slipknot today and he was one of the most talented drummers to date, he was a lot more replaceable than Corey, this and the fact that they thought he kept abusing drugs, while everyone else was getting sober ultimately played a part in their decision, I love everyone of the original members, but I definitely see why it had to be done, firing him through an email was absolutely a dick move tho, I don't agree with that and I feel like if they just sat down and talked, none of this would've happened. But I definitely understand why you feel the way you feel, Slipknot absolutely has become more of a corporation now, than a band who loved making music for the sake of it, I feel like the Chris Fehn incident showcased this the best (basically Corey and Shawn own the entire group, everyone else is considered an employee and nothing more) I still love their music and they shaped my childhood, so I am able to differentiate music from reality, same way I was able to listen to black metal for years, while not agreeing with the church burnings, but everyone is different and I completely understand that.

[@hioctn]

I'm not 100% sure but, someone might need to switch to de-cafe. On a positive note I now know what my drummer must feel like when Im off the beat on guitar.🤣
