Therapist and Vocalist React to Killpop - Slipknot

[@ronnieroll718]

This song is about Corey's love/hate relationship with the music industry

[@dthompson4356]

That is exactly what I was going to say.

[@borumune]

Yeah, he said it himself but I think it's mostly an agressive call to his inner demon I guess.

[@h2sbf6]

Interesting how, even in psychology, context is important... Without said context your interpretation is pointless/useless. An important lesson for any field... That said, I appreciate the approach even if it falls short. Progress is desired over perfection.

[@ronnieroll718]

@@inarael7723 Agreed 😆

[@randalldowell5477]

Exactly! Thank you!

[@BrunoS1989]

The song is my reflection on my relationship with music. That's who the 'she' is. And not just music, but the music industry in general. So there's a love-hate relationship there that really kind of comes into view." Corey Taylor

[@Kafen8d]

I absolutely love how during the entire song, he's dead silent and still, and she's having the best uncontrolled headbanging sesh ever. Clearly she's found something she never knew she needed

[@madpacifist]

They actually hit it spot on. Toxic relationships come in many forms, whether with a partner, a company, a customer, a fan, an entire industry... If he never said it was about the music industry no one would know. But as Corey said himself and as most artists will say, this song has a life of its own, and whatever it means to you is what it means to you.

[@madpacifist]

25 year and this band has 6 full length studio albums. 25 years and just now they are getting out of their contract. That's a toxic relationship if ever there was one. I know people who have been in toxic relationships for longer than 25 years.

[@leoantonio3849]

thanks guys, i actually needed to hear this. much appreciated. great reaction

[@silviu-georgepantelimon1423]

OMFG, this discussion really opened my mind to some things in my life. I still have to deal with validation issues daily but, I am slowly improving. Metal music is one of the few things that worked for me avoiding severe depression because it is so relatable to me helping me introspect. Thank you for the video!

[@oibabayaga9935]

I am impressed you figured it out most Corey's songs go over people's head . He has great word play and it's always a deep meaning in every song .

[@jonburton739]

@heartsupport you guys are great. I'm particularly looking forward to her reaction to pulse of the maggots. 😊

[@t1mman]

Ok, that "Die and f*cking love me" explanation got me goosebumps... Thanks for that!

[@nrgchannel4484]

Watching this I realise I have been on both sides of this. Being in a toxic relationship doesn't necessarily mean either person is toxic just the situation. There was one party so interested in me it was embarrassing and I finally realised I was being unfair (the attention was nice so it took a while to realise what I was actually doing) then there was another party I really liked being around but they clearly didn't feel the same way but kept me in contact just enough to make me think the was a potential something. I figured out both "relationships" were toxic to me in pillar opposite ways and to them respectfully. It's kind of a hard pill to swallow but I see it now.

[@jwozniewski81]

Watching him watch Slipknot on the first verse was hilarious. Completely immersed in the lyrics of one of the best if not the best lyricists in metal.

[@camijacobv]

“Maybe I should let her go, but not until she loves me” Resonates to me with the feeling of guilt from someone who harmed someone else. “I should let go. Not until she knows that I know and regret what I did.”

[@GothremenBhason]

I get your point, but the lyrics are specifically "Maybe I should let her go, but only when she loves me. How can I just let her go? Not until she loves me."

[@baca8351]

I love your input on this song/video. However this is actually a song about Corey Taylor's love and hate relationship with the music industry. I've actually seen the interview of him stating that. How they need each other and "she" in the song is the music Industry

[@Schumacher190]

I've always heard, "just love yourself." I fully understand how beneficial that could be, but how do I just start loving myself, when hating myself is all that I know, and therefore, my most deep-seeded defense mechanism? If I hate myself, no one can hurt me more than I hurt me... How do I overcome that?

[@eyespyyourspy1328]

I totally relate. My self hatred had kept me from being harmed by outside opinions. People try to insult me and harsh me, but they fail miserably and it absolutely drives them nuts. Is that bad of me to feel OK with them having no power over my self perception? Can't hurt me at all, Only I hold that power.

[@LemonCups]

You overcome it by rooting out the core negative beliefs in your subconscious. At least that’s a good place to start. Personal Development School can help you do this.

[@Sarahlouisseize]

Absolutely, our will and therefore intent determines who we become not necessarily just the environmental circumstances that we live through. They will most definitely affect you but you don't have to let yourself become them. I find when we're hurt and want to be hurt for any kind of reason it's usually because we are validating for ourselves to take the blame and wallow in that realization rather than confronting and challenging it.

[@Sarahlouisseize]

Also when Corey says "Die and fucking love me" you could say he's singing it about himself or more specifically that part of himself that hated himself. That what his journey is about and by this point he was well aware of that. The first two albums from Slipknot is the wallowing in the hurt pain and using it as a fire to let yourself burn in. After the passing of Paul Grey the group as a whole was kind of forced to see parts of themselves that they were ignoring or resenting and you can see them accepting that ugliness through the next 3 albums with less direct themes of death and more just relatable depressive thoughts and mindsets. To give people hope because they weren't given any and they know how much you have to struggle to find those answers on your own.

[@manbearpig1746]

I absolutely love the interpretations of these songs!!

[@MaRoach7]

I love this song. I've never seen anyone react to it. Thanks guys

[@0-Templar-0]

Man... you gotta react to Iowa. (The song, not the whole album) One of, if not the darkest song Slipknot has ever produced.

[@lanaperry9414]

I love this song. I have now watched your video on it 4 times and I get something different from it every time. I told my 16 year old transgender daughter to watch it because of the relationship she has with her dad. Your channel has helped me so much. I love the music, lyrics are so important to me and I love the way you put a therapeutic spin on them. I think your channel is helping me more then my therapist is. I'm in recovery and it really helps to find an outlet for feelings besides just the meetings because not all my feelings have to do with drugs and alcohol. Thank you for heart support

[@franticproductions]

Someone saw an old episode of 'Star-Trek', where Frank Gershwin (I think that's his name, also played 'The Joker') plays a cop Half white half black, he's chasing a 'criminal', half black half white, only on opposite sides of their body, I.e. (Juxtaposed) The girls in Kill-Pop, are the same way, juxtaposed!

[@mrflawless1165]

Considering it's about Corey's relationship with the music world, the ups and downs, the abuse he and the rest of the band endured during the recording of some of their albums, I really wonder what the therapist would have to say knowing that if she rewatched this. This is one of their best songs IMO.

[@amyroberts5445]

Technically what they're saying about the "she" still applies. Having to prove his feeling of worthiness to the industry before he can walk away. It's not all bad, there are good parts to the relationship... etc. Relationships are relationships whether they're romantic/ professional, with another person/ thing/ situation... it all still applies, it's just the context in which it's interpreted. But yeah, I bet their reactions would be the same but maybe stated a little more... customized(for lack of a better term).

[@jessee7334]

[@roopepitkanen3324]

[@davecobb5323]

[@Slushplop]

Hey have you reacted to August Burns Red songs yet? If not, please do!

[@MV9112]

Killpop is the only song that helped me understand myself, I have not related it to relationships or whatever, but my whole life I struggled to get better cause in order to do that, one must first be able to accept and understand oneself, right? So.. in short, this song helped me understand that I'm happy when I'm capable of helping others, saving them from themselves, while at the same time, I'm also most happy with myself while being in the middle of a phase where I'm most self-destructive. And I can take it, so much that it scares people. Which is incredibly counter-intuitive. So I just like to also mention that, this song, to me, is more about the relationship I have with myself, within myself vs towards others than in any other type of relationship.

[@ryandye6242]

I love that we have a new slipknot fan here!!!!!!!!

[@dbwc1175]

Hey Taylor. I know you've been on a bit of a Slipknot kick, but I'd really like to see your take on To The Flowers by While She Sleeps. Love the work you do for all of us.

[@JMulvy]

There are actually two girls in the video and instead of having identical makeup they have opposing makeup so that when they stand side by side they look like separate people but when they face each other they are reflections of each other, which illustrates for everything the band loves and hates about the music industry (which the song is about) they are self-aware that they are the reason why the relationship continues. They hate it for what it is, but they love it for what it gives them. Which can be applied to romantic relationships as well for obvious reasons. It reminds me of the concept of twin flames; which is a Vedic belief that soul mates who are meant to be together by divine providence are separate people and even when they do not seem to be on the same page they are actually a reflection of each other and the only reason why they don't realize it is because they both have their own preconceptions about the other person. Allowing their own egos to constantly get in the way of their connection, and no, I am not talking about the stupid "Twin Flames" MLM cult either.

[@KNETTWERX]

The song is a metaphor about his and the band’s relationship with the music industry. For example you create a song that you work hard on and you truly love. Then the industry changes parts of the song until it is unrecognizable from what it was. Now they can’t put out a song whining about the music industry or tearing it apart, so they used a metaphor so they can express their rage about it. It is a very common thing for them and other bands to do.

[@ethanspitler4156]

You should try skeptic from slipknot it's another tribute to Paul

[@Count_Jacula]

Ima say Disasterpiece with lyrics an metalbolic till its done haha love the videos very insightful an love someone becoming a new slipknot fan

[@roopepitkanen3324]

Definitely give a listen to Gojira' s The Art Of Dying. How I see the message of the song is that you should do something meaningful with your life instead of watching TV or KZbin etc. all day. You are going to die eventually and you have to come in terms with how you have lived your life before you can die peacefully.

[@helsilva]

In Killpop, the "She" means the Music Industry

[@tylercourtney3060]

Bruh!!! Every event is neutral because its a matter of personal perspective!! That has blown my mind!! Because I'm sure if every person watching this thinks about something they have said either nice or nasty to someone! Once you've said it you feel a different way..... but how has what you said effected the person your saying it to???? Its completely neutral!! MIND = BLOWN!!! 🤯🤯

[@codycannon1582]

[@kitcoakley1357]

@heartsupport honestly it's been a very long time since I could say I love myself at least since elementary school I'm 30 now and I can't seem to do anything right. Maybe I could if I started my ADHD meds again, but the last time I tried that it made me feel like a zombie. Like I could watch somebody get stabbed and just be like "meh..." but without it I'm too slow or too clumsy to actually be a mechanic, which honestly ain't even what I really want to be.

[@bolomniejaja]

Can you do Not Long For This World as a next reaction? That song is very moving.

[@Chris-jv1zo]

You really need to see Slipknot live plus you also need to check out Coreys other band Stone Sour and his solo stuff. Stone Sour is not as heavy as Slipknot but their songs also have a lot of different meanings and messages and they don't wear the mask. I would recommend Bother by Stone Sour as your first song to analyze. It's pretty deep.

[@ideitbawxproductions1880]

I never really dove into the meaning of this song, and I didn't know about Corey saying it's about the music industry, but the song almost sounds like self-harm. "She knows not to leave a mark that I can see," "No-one hurts this pretty girl, but her"... and then he talks about how beautiful 'she' is, but it seems to be a beauty that 'she' can't see in herself. I dunno, I got strange ideas, anyhow 🤷

[@razvandumitru2252]

@heartsupport yes, I used to do that ll the time and I still do it and I have no idea why I attract the kind of people that make me feel I need to prove something.

[@HeartSupport]

From PenArt: @razvandumitru2252 You shouldn’t have to feel like you need to take ownership for attracting toxic people. Unfortunately, I’ve noticed in my life that bad people are drawn to the goodness in others because they don’t have any, and then their negativity and atmosphere drag you down and suffocate the light out of you. But you fight back, just to try to prove them wrong. Or you freeze, stuck in this limbo stage of pain but not wanting to leave what's familiar, because the unknown can be so much scarier or lonelier than being with someone. But it can be exhausting, dancing around and making sure you’re doing things right. Doing things to make others happy. It’s just your brain’s way of just trying to keep you safe in your surroundings, catering to others’ expectations and ideals just to keep things calm. It’s not fair to you. Not at all. But don’t think that there’s something wrong with you to draw these people in, they see people who care and want to take up all their love and attention until there’s nothing left. But they still give you that validation. That feeling of being appreciated. Even if it’s temporary, it means the world. But if we continue to strive for other’s version of what things should be, we start to lose ourselves. I’m so sorry that you feel like you bring this on yourself by being who you are and drawing in the wrong type of people. You are a wonderful, caring human being full of love and you deserve to be seen by others that way and attract the people who know your worth. When you love yourself and know what you’re capable of, the people around you will see that too. You are strong and not alone. Using your voice can have tremendous outcomes, just reaching out shows that you know you’re worth fighting for! You are so loved friend, and you have nothing to prove to anyone

[@HeartSupport]

From runner12: @razvandumitru2252 Thank you for being here! It can be a vicious and difficult cycle to break - feeling like we have to prove that we are worthy of love. It’s a lie that so many of us believe. Like we have this shame that overshadows everything and we imagine that’s all people can see. Our faults. Our mistakes. Our shortcomings. But what we forget is that we all have them. We all struggle. And regardless of that we are worthy of love. Your life has value and worth regardless of what you do or the mistakes you make. That may be hard for you to believe especially if some of the people around you tend to judge or evaluate you or point out your mistakes. That’s typically due to their own insecurities. The truth is we can’t always live up to other people’s expectations. For decades I felt as if I had to be perfect in order to earn my parents’ love and approval. No matter what I did I never felt good enough. But I finally realized that constantly performing never filled that hole. It only made it deeper. I had to keep telling myself that I had purpose and worth regardless of how they felt. Eventually I had to distance myself because it wasn’t healthy for me. We are all put here for a reason and if people are making you feel unworthy then you have to decide if the relationships are worth the hurt they bring you. It’s great that you recognize that you do this because awareness is key in breaking the cycle. Remember that you have inherent value and worth and you are loved. We truly believe that and we are here to support you. Stay strong!

I'm dealing with depression and insanity But that's me

[@HeartSupport]

From ThriceTheThird: @jacobware3281 Feel free to share more, if you ever want/need. <3

[@HeartSupport]

From Micro: @jacobware3281 Oh friend, you are surely not insane in any way. What you describe is that you are struggling, and what is says about you is only that you're a human being trying tofind their way in this world. Being called insane would be somehow stigmatizing, and you certainly don't deserve to have that type of label put on you. You didn't choose to struggle or to have a depression. It's absolutely not your fault, and in no way it would ever define you or your worth. It's a hardship that happens to be a part of your life, although it doesn't define who you are and what your soul is made of. It's understandable though that it feels somehow like being insane, and maybe therefore inadequate in this world. I've personally been struggling with a high functioning depression and complex ptsd for most of my life, and these definitely make me feel a lot of times as if I am some kind of outsider. Somehow too broken, somehow unable to fit in, somehow not equipped to be "normal" and live a "normal" life - or at least what looks like it. It's really hard when it feels like you're carrying unwanted burdens in your life that prevent you from the being the person you want to be or doing the things you want to do. It is this giant wall that places itself between you and the world around you, making you feel alone and profoundly isolated as a result. Depression speaks many lies, and one of them is often to make us believe that we are not good enough, that we are worthless compared to others. That this invisible wall is also something impossible to control and impossible to heal from. It feeds on the despair, hopelessness and helplessness it adds into our own world, and it's really hard sometimes to separate it from who we are. For a long time I've personally felt like building my identity around my struggles, and it's a trap I've been having a hard time to get out from. I don't know if this is something you've been experiencing yourself, but I would imagine that sometimes it must feel like you're profoundly alone with this and that nothing would be enough to help you keep your head above waters. What your statement says about you, my friend, is that you are a freaking warrior. Navigating in this world while dealing with a depression can be pretty wild. It's too often stigmatized, not understood enough, not seen enough either. It's a tumultuous journey that too often we are forced to explore just on our own. There should be more support, openneness and understanding when it comes to depression. In any case, your efforts are seen and understood here, even if they might remain invisible to the eyes of most. I don't know if you have support in your life, but you certainly deserve to have some and to feel connected to people who are safe to you, who would see YOU without any judgment and without any fear.
