[@hrnancastillo]

though it’s been speculated because the song’s been dedicated to him, the music video was filmed and released a year prior to Paul’s death so Corey was probably just reflecting on the original inspiration of the song. Still, after what happened to Paul I think the song has a gained an entire new meaning for both the band and the fans

Please correct me if I’m wrong, I think Paul was still around when Snuff was filmed. The video was filmed October of 2009 and released in December of the same year. Paul passed away May 10th 2010. Now that Paul is gone, it was said in an interview that the song has taken on a whole new meaning for Corey and the band. Also I’m pretty sure this song was originally written about a woman who Corey was engaged to at the time , prior to the video being made. After writing this comment I realized Hernan Castillo beat me to it.

[@terryspalding3765]

Snuff is one of the greatest songs ever. It captures so much pain. I personally love this song. I connect with this song, as well as most people would. Its 100% okay to feel these feelings and to express them. As men, we deal with a lot of expectations. Men, have this standard hanging above them to be strong and not to break. To not cry, to not talk about their problems. I've had some pretty heavy break ups and lost love I've felt the pain this song so perfectly encapsulates. The feeling of love is so strong. Unfortunately it doesn't always work out sometimes. It can leave you empty inside and confidence turns to insecurity. It can be one of the hardest things to go through in life. BUT, you gotta find a way to take that hurt and that pain and use it for personal gain. Self development. Focus on work, Focus on a hustle or a hobby. Try some new things like playing guitar, disk golf, gardening, SOMETHING new. Something that adds to your value. You cant let someone who broke your heart make you hate yourself to the point your emotionally crippled. If you do that, they win. You have to let go, which is hard. and its 100x harder to ever find a healthy relationship. While your heart is still bleeding from wounds its gone thru. This is why alot of people have trust issues and why there are alot of toxic relationships these days. Toxicity creates more toxicity. the only possible way to heal is to love yourself. grow yourself into somthing your proud of. And dont worry. your worth somthing and someday someone will see that :) hope this heap of words helped somebody going thru it.

I"m not sure of course, but I think he's dealing with the lonliness so much to the extent that he dresses up as her in her old clothes, and puts on her makeup, etc. The title is called "Snuff" and things that are considered "snuff films" is typically a video of someone dying on camera. I think it can be deduced that the lonliness/abandonment has killed him (more so, metaphorically of course), and we are watching the memories of her, match up with his coping of the loss. Idk. Honestly, love that you're trying and wanting to relate to the youth at your church. When I started listening to Slipknot at a young age, no one desired to try and relate with me, and so it really means a lot with what you're doing here.

I thought the same about her being a memory, as if she were not really there at all, just that everything tied to her brought back the past, and the present loneliness. I took him dressing like her more symbolic, as in his life was so entangled with hers at one point, that when she walked away she took a part of him. Without her, he could never truly be himself again. I love slipknot and have listened to that song countless time, however that is the first time seeing the video, loved it.

[@johnkiser1410]

@@mrhappy9056 On albums maybe. On stage this song is dedicated to Pual Gray. Rather the acoustic version Corey sings is dedicated to paul. So from a personal standpoint he dedicates the song to paul. The premise of the song itself isn't really for the woman but about her and his experience. It ended up dedicated to paul on stage from corey as it was the last song they actually worked on together and I can find nothing about Vermillion being dedicated in any way to paul other than joey and paul wrote the song together. Vermillion was a personal song for gray more than dedicated to him. I'd say dead memories is more of a dedication to Paul as far as a full on slipknot song, but snuff is personally dedicated to paul in corey's eyes.

[@kennelscene8456]

You are both incorrect. Paul died in 2010, and both of those songs are pre-All Hope Is Gone, which is the last album he was a part of. The song "skeptic" was the song most directly dedicated to Paul. But, to be honest, the entire album was called "The Gray Chapter", so pretty much all those songs were written with Paul's passing in mind.

Very impressed with how open minded you are. I am a Christian that feels abandoned by the Church and the world today and find solace in rock and hip hop. Lots of layers in music that need to be peeled back to see the true message and I think you will find that most artists are spreading beautiful messages through their despair and their views of the world today. Thank you for being so open minded. Please feel free to reach out to someone that feels like the Church has abandoned true believers these days for the money changers. Convince me that it’s not true.

[@roberthoughton7127]

I wholeheartedly agree with you. Many churches have marginalized people and things by making unbiblical rules and traditions, or simply because they don't understand them. Labeling it as evil or satanic without having a clue what it is. They usually fail to learn more simply because it scares them. This is why I started this experiment. to learn more and educate others. Even though I am relatively conservative theologically I reject traditionalism and outright detest legalism, as does the Bible. I feel like the church has failed in these areas and has alienated many because of it. Especially as it relates to the "Arts". I hope to be a part of the solution.

[@jasonreed719]

You definitely have kind of opened a sense of hope in me. I’ll be keeping an eye on your page as well. I was really surprised by the insight and how you leave yourself open to the experience. It was very interesting and I was actually surprised. Today’s environment in America is really divisive and it’s nice to see someone trying to bridge that gap between music and God. It’s hopeful and it’s inspirational. Thank you.

[@aarongoldesberry2882]

I was raised Christian and still do my best to be one. My grandma was my main teacher taught me at a young that you don't have to go to church to make it to heaven and that the devil goes to church too. Being a real Christian or Gentile only has 3 rules and one of them is to love your neighbor which not judging someone by their cover is a big part of that rule because it's not the church's job or anyone's job to do the judging. I have Slipknot lyrics tattooed on me from the Heretic Anthem. (Nobody wants anything I've got, which is fine because you're made of everything I'm not) Even though the main chorus is "If you're 555 then I'm 666." I've been a fan since I first heard "Wait and Bleed" on the radio. Their music came to me at a very troubling time in my life and not just because it was my teenage years. I picked the Heretic Anthem because not only are there other lyrics in the song that hit the nail on the head for me but the chorus to me said that if you are judging me and tormenting me because of your assumptions of who you think I am. Especially when it's done by people who are so called Christian. Then I'm already better than you in His eyes. One of the things my grandma told me when I was growing up when I was at a weak point was that God gives the toughest challenges to his strongest warriors which always helped me feel like I had a purpose. I wasn't a very big kid growing up or confident for that matter but God blessed me with one hell of a destructive right hook and Slipknot's music allowed me and taught me to channel my anger and hate. It gave me the push I needed to get up and to dig my toes in the ground and keep pushing no matter how much it hurt. Without my personal relationship with God and Slipknot's music I don't think I would have made it this far or be the person I am now. This Pastor/Father is fucking awesome. I would go to your church if I ever decided to become established to one.

[@aarongoldesberry2882]

So yeah, Actually I would really like to hear your thoughts and get your perspective on Slipknot's song "The Heretic Anthem." It would be greatly appreciated. And please don't beat around the bush to save my feelings if you read something else than what I got from it.

[@gabrielcabello9227]

I understand you might feel abandoned, there's a lot of people that claim that so many songs are bad or evil outright. I'm Catholic and I'm a metalhead, some people think I listen to "satanic" stuff but I've got a few Catholic friends myself who are huge metal fans as well. I don't think the Church abandons people, I believe that people abandon people. Hopefully it's not an entire community in an area that turns their face away from people who are different. I think the problem is understanding and how the stereotype of "satanic metalheads" being employed by the louder voice from both sides of the "heavy metal is satanic" argument. It's always cool to see that people like Geezer Butler (Black Sabbath's bassist) is Catholic and that Black Sabbath in general is made up of Christians. Just keep your head up and keep being yourself, God is always loving and understanding. Pray for those who don't understand and who don't have an open mind, they need God's gift of Wisdom.

Vermillion, being a shade of red, is about his ex-wife scarlet. Its very simply about the thirst for stalking and killing her. Vermillion part 2 is essentially written in guilt for having written the first part.

[@christofchaos]

@@davecobb5323 Not quite. Both songs are about his own misconception of what she was. He placed her on a pedestal and was devastated to learn that she was not the woman he expected her to be. The conflict that arose was the driving force behind his jealousy of her and his attempts to control her. The song moves back and forth between what he knows is right (to love her and accept her) and what he needs to do (control her) because he is afraid of the part of her he refused to see (that she's a human being and not a saint). If you're only looking at Vermillion pt.1 and pt.2, you're missing a huge part. Listen again to The Nameless on that album and you'll see what ended up happening.

This is the Lyrics “SNUFF” Bury all your secrets in my skin Come away with innocence and leave me with my sins The air around me still feels like a cage And love is just a camouflage for what resembles rage again So if you love me let me go And run away before I know My heart is just too dark to care I can't destroy what isn't there Deliver me into my fate If I'm alone I cannot hate I don't deserve to have you Ooh, my smile was taken long ago If I can change I hope I never know I still press your letters to my lips And cherish them in parts of me that savor every kiss I couldn't face a life without your lights But all of that was ripped apart when you refused to fight So save your breath, I will not care I think I made it very clear You couldn't hate enough to love Is that supposed to be enough? I only wish you weren't my friend Then I could hurt you in the end I never claimed to be a saint Ooh, my own was banished long ago It took the death of hope to let you go 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 Angels lie to keep control Ooh, my love was punished long ago If you still care don't ever let me know If you still care don't ever let me know

I have to say I had almost lost my faith the past year 9 years into fighting cancer - stage 4. Yet it is not that so much as fellow Christians! Judgmental! Pastor had restored my faith that you can be so open to metal music! I've been through a divorce 💔 horrible I love the way you can relate & communicate on a level without pushing religion. However at the end to take theology & how it relates is actually healing. No-one should judge you for that. Most Pastors wouldn't even entertain 'secular' music much less metal. Thank you

[@firesoftheasylum7890]

I admit, I lost all faith when my mom died. I had so much anger towards everything and everyone, including God. She suffered like no one should, but she never lost her faith. Two days before she died (last time I spoke to her), she said "I'm going home, I'll see you again. I love you." I'm sorry to hear about the cancer, that's awful. Keep up the fight! It's nice to see pastors actually listening to, and feeling the lyrics. Here's to hoping others will be found.

It would be really cool to keep the slipknot reactions coming. Their first 2 albums were made during the darkest parts of their lives. And almost every one of their songs talk about their lives.

[@roberthoughton7127]

Thanks for the encouragement. It's interesting to know that tidbit about the first 2 albums. Puts things in more perspective. It's interesting to me that a band at the height of their career, making tons of money, and having access to all the luxuries of life could at the same time experience the "darkest part of their lives."

[@gumbomudderx7503]

The first album was mainly songs (the music, not the lyrics) from a former band the bass player, drummer, and guitarist were members of. That’s what Paul the bass player told me once before he died. So they weren’t yet at the height of their careers or really making any money to speak of. Even after the first album was released it’s not like they were instantly rich and famous. I don’t really care for any of their albums other than the first. It seems like they lost something after the first album that they were never able to duplicate.

[@mwkrantz21]

this song was influenced by several things... First was when Paul Gray died and several failed relationships. He wrote his heart and soul into it... its my favorite song by them even though i am a huge Slipknot fan. The lyric "Angels lie to keep control" are literally tattooed on my arm.

So far I’ve seen you’re video on Judith and this one for snuff diff keep doing what you’re I highly respect the fact that you listen and analyze with a very open mind to where the songwriter is rather than condemning the fact that Maynard screamed profane blasphemies. I think if people are offended by religion enough that they are criticizing you two at all for relating the message In the song to what you feel in your heart from your faith they probably should consider their own sensitivities and avoid clicking on pastor reacts and analyzes whatever the song may be esp be it metal and of the topic. I myself am Wiccan and believe that the world is a better place when all can set aside personal belief differences and respect one another and one another’s right to their own beliefs all that is to just say don’t be discouraged by negativity and keep doing what your doing I really enjoyed these videos and listening to your thoughts on what the songs say to you. Running through the same vein of these other songs I recommend the bleeding by five finger death punch. It’s an absolutely great song that deals with relationship struggles and bad endings

What you might consider a lie is the truth to a lot of people. Don’t apologize for having a different belief, but don’t belittle someone for theirs.

[@MoonShaman]

+ Hillary's emails to Lorne I have to say I agree with Jon Mac on this. Truth can some times be a subjective concept. What one person's truth is as opposed to another person's truth might be completely different. The message is clear. Don't belittle someone over what their truth is. Don't belittle someone if their beliefs and/or convictions are not immediately affecting or harming YOU Hillary's emails to Lorne. It has nothing to do with you therefore it's not your business. I find that people that have opinions such as yours Hillary's emails to Lorne is that they want to enforce their opinion on others through a passive aggressive mannerism. You have been doing just that in the comment section. It makes you come off as a disrespectful edge lord needing attention or some sort of acknowledgement. Religion will be in this world far after you're gone. It's inevitable and the sooner you realize that fact the better off you'll be. It does not matter how far our science progresses as a society people will always want to have faith in something bigger than they are. Faith can come in many forms. Whether that faith is in the scientists of the modern era or Christian pastors it does not matter. It is still faith. Oh and don't give me this tripe about science being proven or any or that. Why? Because no matter what you believe in? You believe in the word of a scientist when he says something can be proven with scientific experiments. Proven science is something that once experimented yields the same result over and over right? That constitutes and graduates something from theory to fact. There is still a faith in the person you're listening to that makes you trust them. That is the epitome of faith in a nutshell. So once again it all boils down to faith in something and/or someone. So here we are. Faith. Don't belittle someone over their faith when it's not directly harming you. Direct your anger at the one's actually hurting people over their faith like over in the Middle East when it comes to Islam. How about those Hateful fuckers from Westboro Baptist church that should be classified as a hate group even? THOSE are the people to direct your anger at. Not the ones that radiate a positive role in their OWN child's lives like the one in this video. Oh and by the way? The guy in the video that's him and his SON. They're just trying to understand the world around them while having a positive faith. Not everything is a cult and not everyone's religion is a cult just because you deem it so. Why? Because your word is not the end all be all.
