Therapist reacts to Solway Firth by Slipknot

Therapist uses the lyrics of Solway Firth by Slipknot to discuss what happens when we vulnerably share our pain and it is met with disbelief and rejection. This often causes external and internal conflict that prevents the root pain from being acknowledged and attended to. Instead, we try to blame, defend, and deflect the other person's perspective, and our initial pain gets lost in the conflict. This song calls us to always come back to the root of the matter and tend to our pain.

"You want the real smile, or the one I used to practice not to feel like a failure," is one of the most relatable and visceral lines I've heard in any song in my entire life....

This song sounds so much like old school Slipknot. The pain in the voice is so real. Best song on the album in my opinion.

[@HeartSupport]

From twixremix: @eyespyyourspy1328 hey friend, i’m so sorry that you haven’t been able to smile in years. the fake smiles and laughs are what some have to do to mask the pain to others but please know that i see you, i hear you, and i understand you. it can be so hard to feel genuine happiness sometimes. i’m wishing with all i got that something or someone can cross your path to make you smile and laugh. you deserve to smile and laugh! you have infinite worth and value and i’m so thankful you’re here.

[@HeartSupport]

From AliceBlue: @eyespyyourspy1328 I think it’s very brave and admirable to open up and put a voice to feeling like you’ve been having to put on a fake smile. I know that in life I have had to put on a smile for show, so I can empathise with how hard you are fighting. It feels at times like if you break then everything will crumble down around you. I hope that you find the space and the people who you can have a break from having to put the aires on for and feel authentically how you need to feel.

[@HeartSupport]

From Malig3: @eyespyyourspy1328 Hi there, I'm really sorry to hear that you're feeling this way. Faking a smile to please others or to make it seem like you are okay is really tough. I want you to know that I hear you and am happy you reached out. Holding on to the little things in life that make you happy or feel good is so important. Saying how you feel is the first step, so I am so glad you are here! I hope you come across a new hobby, friend, or even a show that makes you laugh. You matter, and you deserve all the happiness in the world.

[@eyespyyourspy1328]

Thank you all for real. Life is a very difficult road for many of us. I try to find moments and people I can confide in when things are overwhelming. However I've noticed the people who once were of qualities that were trustworthy have evolved into people who are easily triggered, find ways to make things about them, and have traded Empathy for Apathy. I have been in isolation since my circle of friends at the time exposed their true intentions and intentionally sabotaged my relationships with many people. I was always able to get along with just about everyone. When certain people find out you don't beef with people they beef with it tends to be a rough explanation of neutrality and loyalty. I just found this channel earlier today. Anyone who reacts to Slipknot gets a listen few get a sub. The sub was our hosts ability to explain things on the psychological level. I find that fascinating. I have always wanted to Crack into my own psychology and figure out why I am the way I am.

That last verse that returns to the initial pain fueled by all of the anger, and frustration from the previous sections of the song always hits me the hardest.

Would be interested to hear your analysis of my band's most recent song lyrically.

I really love these Slipknot reactions especially since you also read up on the background info on the songs by Corey himself that's really neat. Also as someone who's been struggling with phases of depression and axiety since the early school days these help me immensely to get back in a better mindset!

[@morgueboss4019]

Man i remember hearing this track for the first time and being blown away. Ive always loved Slipknot but this track in particular was so visceral to me. Ive had an incredibly hard time with Agoraphobia, and not being believed that i have a problem because my anxiety isnt people based. Because its not social anxiety, people just dont believe it exists. I feel it every day, and its so frustrating. This song is such a great release of that frustration. Kudos for such a great run-down of the song! Your perspective is always interesting to hear!

Slipknot is my favorite band and I regret I never understood the music until I've found these videos; the band always speaking to me. I only know that in real life I've battled years of anxiety and depression- everyone always saying it was just in my head despite the evident fact that I've had people in my life who had it out for me and took every opportunity to tear me down. 7 years later, I still don't have friends who don't let me be honest and vulnerable

[@robharley7539]

I've dealt with depression for a long time like a bodily illness it comes and goes. Sometimes harder than others, but recently it's been the worse. I lost my father last summer and I've been through the stages of grief repeatedly and have been having health issues myself. And I bury it at times with alcohol and drug abuse. I also am a musician and before music was my outlet to get out of my pain and frustration but lately its harder to connect to that creativity. The greatest thing is I do have people who love me and support me but they wont ever feel what I feel and that's not their fault. This pain is something that I have to fight internally by being better to myself externally. Never give up the chance to be happy and healthy. That's what living is for. Thank you for this video.

[@HeartSupport]

From djstarion: @robharley7539 VERY well said! And I totally get where you're coming from too. I'm also a musician, and when you use it as an outlet, those emotions can get bottled up when you dont have the motivation or drive to get those out. One thing that I always did when I got in those moods was to just jot stuff down in a notebook. Anything I felt, whether it be words, pictures, random thoughts, just getting it down helps. I'm so happy you have a support system too. <3

[@HeartSupport]

From AliceBlue: @robharley7539 “I have to fight internally by being better to myself externally”. This will sit with me for a long time. Through your pain and hurt, through your creative block, you have pushed to not only be kind to yourself, but have set a reminder and example to others who are hurting and struggling that this is possible. Betterment of self isn’t an easy path. Sometimes the things that shape us are just so inflamed with all the pain and sorrow and grief. Those who are closest to us may not know how it feels, but there’s a solidarity in knowing we never truely walk alone. Thank you for sharing your hurt and grief with us and thank you for sharing your bravery and resilience with us.

[@HeartSupport]

From EvilGenius: @robharley7539 Hi Friend, First of all, I want you to know that I do notice you, and your strength in sharing your journey is visible for all to see. Dealing with any form of mental health, whilst battling through the loss of a loved one so close to you, is tough. This challenge may often feel like an uphill battle, defined to fail, but keep pushing through, because healing is the prize. However, I do know that navigating through the stages of grief can feel like an endless cycle of heartache. It’s understandable that you’ve turned to alcohol and drugs as a means of coping, but I want to remind you that there are healthier ways to confront your pain. Seeking solace in your music is a beautiful outlet, although I understand that lately, even that has become a struggle. Please know that it’s okay to feel disconnected from your creativity at times; it doesn’t diminish your talent or passion. Every musician will have times where their passion runs thin, and they will end up questioning their ability. That’s okay, but what matters is that you never give up. You’re absolutely right that the love and support of others, while invaluable, can never fully alleviate the depth of your pain. However, their presence in your life is a beacon of hope, a reminder that you are not alone in this fight. And while the journey toward healing may seem daunting, remember that every small step you take toward being kinder to yourself is a victory worth celebrating. Your resilience shines through your words, and I believe in your ability to find light amidst the darkness. Keep holding onto the belief that happiness and health are within your reach, even on the darkest of days. You are deserving of love, healing, and peace, and I’m rooting for you every step of the way. **With enormous love EvilGenius**

[@alexandert.schneider-ze8es]

It made me feel discusting and always brought back the sick twisted shit that was exsposed to me at a young age. And i woukd start having little anxiety issues when it came to my son. She woukdnt be there for wasnt there for and i had to not only figure out how to get theough it for myself, but now take care of my infant.. this song actually the entire album was my feelings wrapped up in one record.

[@everyonelovesmajima]

This is how I’ve felt for nearly three years since I started having seizures. The two people I’ve been the closest with in my life and who have been my entire support system for nearly 20 years both got too busy to even text me back any more. In November I had another seizure and woke up on the floor of the bathroom at my work, laying in a pool of blood with a cracked skull. These two people I relied on for nearly half my life never even have a fuck that I cracked my skull. I could be dead right now and neither of them would know. I feel like I stared at my phone for three years waiting for one of them to just ask how the hell I’ve been doing. It’s been nearly three years and I’m just now cutting them out and alleviating the pressure, and I’m just now starting to feel like myself again.

[@Pandahuggingmob]

As someone who grew up with Slipknot and has tried being vulnerable about my depression to various doctors, only to be met with doubt and a lack of empathy. I agree with how you interpret the song. I would add however, when we try being vulnerable to the wrong people and get angry. Its a gift in disguise. Humanity is mostly self centered. You can't show weakness to people. They dont care and they'll abuse you for it anyway they can. Much like this song explains. You become corrupt by rage and either implode or explode if you look for validation. Best to accept your cross is yours to bear. Any external assistance will make it worst.

[@freddiemossberg7204]

I’ve liked some of their songs through their entire career but never considered myself a “Slipknot fan” cause I’ve never gotten any of their albums. This song is so powerful and emotional and is probably my favourite song of theirs so far.

[@TheCreepyArchives]

As a kid I discovered slipknot in 5th grade, was born 1996. Adopted from Russia, live in USA. There will never be a better band. Slipknot is classic blues music injected with rage. Blues is good, but missing a vital part of sadness...rage. Excellent video, I'd date the **** outta you. WANYK. Rip Paul & Joey

Never been to therapy, never will unless I must. She knows what she’s talking about but saying enough is enough and just being successful who don’t even try to understand when you open up is the therapy I need. Do not let any person overlook you because that is the reason they don’t believe or in my case which is worse, care. Don’t become an evil person, just be that person who doesn’t connect to anyone who absolutely deserve it. Listening to Slipknot made me feel I am not all alone feeling this way and that has been really helpful with my anger management. Metal on!

Goddamn rabbit holes. It’s impressive, Corey did this part of his career after having surgery for a broken neck, gone unnoticed for 3 years. Hence the cover over his neck

[@quentinwynalda5624]

I absolutely love what you guys are doing with this and I love Taylor for reacting. My story; I recently went through a bad breakup and I have very little self esteem and self confidence. I've been very depressed and broken. Suicidal thoughts, solitude, and general detachment from my life. Slipknot has always filled that emptiness in myself when I go through my lows and have always cherished there music. Seeing what Taylor is doing, seeing what this channel is doing to promote betterness. I am so grateful. If I can make a recommendation I'd say react to " A Greater Foundation" by As I Lay Dying. That would seriously hit home for me.

[@midnighttker9920]

This speaks to so many I know, including myself. I went through a very tough period about 6 years ago. Didn’t get the support I needed from my wife, at the time, we’re now divorced, at it was pretty much the beginning of the end between us. With what happened, there was no coming back from. I still feel that pain to this day, but for our kids sake, I hide it so they don’t suffer as I did and do still. I turned to alcohol and went down a pretty dark road for almost 2 years. To this day, I still feel as lost as back then.

[@HeartSupport]

From EvilGenius: @midnighttker9920 Hey Friend, I hear you, and your amazing strength in opening up about such tough issues. Ping throigh a tough period when support can sometimes be nowhere to be found is incredibly lonely and isolating. It’s like you’re screaming into a world full of people and nobody can hear you. From your words, it sounds like you’re deeply emotionally scarred by the pain you’ve endured, even although it was years ago. Divorce can be something that is really emotionally draining, even more so when you have nobody to lean on and feel like you are alone. It’s commendable that you prioritize your children’s well-being despite your own struggles. You’ve demonstrated resilience in navigating such difficult circumstances, even if it may not always feel that way. Turning to alcohol as a coping mechanism is a common response to overwhelming emotions, but I want to encourage you to seek healthier outlets for processing your feelings. You deserve support and healing, and there are resources available to help you navigate this journey. Whether it’s therapy, support groups, or simply finding solace in activities that bring you joy, know that you’re not alone in this. Finding your way back from such darkness takes time, patience, and often professional guidance, but it’s possible. Your willingness to confront these challenges speaks volumes about your strength and determination. Keep reaching out, keep seeking support, and know that brighter days lie ahead. **With enormous love EvilGenius**

From djstarion: @midnighttker9920 Hello friend, It's definitely okay to feel that pain, and hiding it from your children can definitely be mentally taxing. Alcohol is a temporary fix to a more permanent problem. I've been down that road, and it can be really hard. But opening up here shows how strong you are and the fact that you're willing to share your story is a great first step on the road to recovery <3

From toastaintbad: @midnighttker9920 Hi @HeartSupport_Fans, You are really brave for discussing your mental health issues. It must have been hard for you. It's okay to feel resent with your divorce. I would be emotionally depress and frustrated if I was in your situation. Sometimes marriages or relationship don't meant to last forever. I recommend to join alcohol rehab if you ever want to be sober. Alcohol is the not best way to cope with negative feelings. It can lead to negative health consequences. I used to hide my mental & physical health from others. I always felt it was depressing for others to know. If you hide your emotions to long, you will someday go through mental breakdown. You might hide your kids from drinking but don't ever underestimate children. Children can sometimes know what's happening with your and the situation. You are still wonderful father to your kids. Your kids might one day reflect back and ask questions like "How did you even fought something so difficult?"

From Micro: @midnighttker9920 Man, it must have felt so brutal to see your life shifting so drastically with the divorce. It's so hard when the relation you have with your significant other gets strained to the point of needing to part ways. It makes sense that you've been having a hard time dealing with this reality and composing with all the changes that it has created in your life as well as of your kids. It's a major change that took place, and with it comes an intense grief over what is lost and what could have been. It sounds like you've been also particularly alone in your pain, and for what it's worth from a stranger on the internet, I'm super proud of you for talking about it here. It's hard to leave the masks off once we're used to wearing them all the time and hide our vulnerability. Thank you for honoring us here with it. If I may ask, is there anyone in your life whom you trust and could support you too? Would you think that maybe professional support/counseling could be welcomed at this time of your life? These are of course open questions and you are not obliged to respond if you don't want to. I just feel the isolatoin and loneliness you've been dealing with, and certainly wish for you to have or develop a solid support system. You don't deserve to walk and shoulder all of this just on your own. :heart: If anything, thank you again for sharing your voice here. You have allies at Heartsupport. I'm rooting for you. :heart:

​@@HeartSupport It's hard for me to open up, to anyone. Took years to open up with my ex. It wasn't a good experience. Kept getting told, "get over it already." So, no, I don't have anyone I open up to or talk about these things. I want to, but really don't want to go down that road where , not only treated differently, but friendships change. My kids are just starting out on their own, so I don't want to burden them either. Last time I sought help through an agency at my job, information somehow got back to them and I was moved to a different area. Although I want too, I suffer in silence with my dogs. I will not be betrayed like that again.

The transition between Butcher bashing that dudes head into the sink and Corey and Clown headbanging makes me so happy everytime I see it
