The lead singer Corey Taylor founded in 2022 the "The Taylor Foundation". to help veterans who suffer from PTSD. "During my career, I’ve been privileged to have many veterans and people in emergency service support me, telling me how much my music has helped them with everything they’ve had to endure- from combat to stress on the job to the inevitable repercussions that come from PTSD. Now, it’s my turn to give back as much as I can to them" -Corey Taylor

[@Cruizerstylin]

As a Veteran with PTSD SLIPKNOT has help me push through the shit.

[@eyespyyourspy1328]

this is new information to me. In 2010 or 2011 I had the privilege of having several personal conversations with Corey while I was struggling with a divorce and Medical Discharge from USMC from a suicide attempt after finding out my wife had been unfaithful the whole time we were married. I wonder if those conversations way back may have been something Corey remembered. Slipknot has always been a voice I had stripped away as a kid raised in Church. Corey and I had some deep conversations about that. I will not be so vain to think I inspired anything, but I am humbled to think it is possible and I am thankful to know he is supporting my brothers and sisters who suffer from PTSD as I continue to fight through

*I push my fingers in to my eyes/it's the only thing that slowly stops the ache* This is an alusion to the physiological phenomena of applying pressure to your eyes to reduce the pain of a migraine. For some reason, it just works.

[@charliekahn4205]

It also works with sinus headaches

[@hugofortintruchon5298]

maybe because headaches are mostly caused by pressure in your head, puting pressure on your eyes (wich are directly rellied to the brain) sends the signal tha there is more pressure elsewhere, like it changes the place of the pain and gives a releif on your nerves.

[@hugofortintruchon5298]

but i'm no specialist

[@Panino1987]

it also works with my paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia

[@nate2838]

@@hugofortintruchon5298 There is a hierarchy of sensation, with pain at the lowest priority. Next is pressure, it think, then awareness of where your body is in relation to itself ie the position its in. This is why walking it off is a real thing. It gets other stimuli going that are a higher priority than the pain. This is a very, very, basic representation of Pain Gate Theory. Check it out if you'd like to know more, or at least know the proper hierarchy, cause the way I ordered it may be wrong, I do know for a fact that pressure is a higher priority than pain. This video is a relatively brief explanation of how it works. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nqiQp3t8ZrGlp7s The body is designed to survive, and if you are being attacked by a predator, pressure on your body give you more useful information for your escape than pain does. Pain tells you damage has been done. Pressure tells you where things are, and are not. Running doesn't do any good if you are trying to run through the tree at your back. Also, knowing where your body is in space is critical to surviving as well. You can't escape if you don't know how to arrange yourself and limbs to be able to run or fight back.

[@JMulvy]

For me "you can not kill what you did not create" has become a mantra of mine of sorts. To me it is more along the lines of "letting go of the things you have no control over", as much as you may wish you had the ability to just end something, sometimes that is not up to you and you have to control your actions towards it.

[@Micro-Heartsupport]

Love your take on this line. A powerful reminder of how important it can be to distinguish between what we can change from what we can't. So easy (and tempting) to fall into the trap of dwelling on things we have no control over... just for the illusion of control it gives, even if it's only an illusion.

[@its-aydonus6842]

Especially after "I've wished for this, I've bitched at that, I've left behind this little fad" brings more to this meaning. Complain all you want but eventually you just have to get on with life and let people ruin their own instead of yours.

[@JMulvy]

It's funny because when I was younger I had this engraved on my iPod (yeah that old) but at the time it was more along the lines of "you didn't make me, I made me. No matter what you do only I can destroy me." It was more of an outward expressed rebellious tone but in time it became more internal wisdom like a reminder that " *I* can't kill what *I* did not create" so why worry about it?

[@epicmage82]

After over 40 years I'm convinced "happiness" isn't real. If it is, I probably don't have the ability to feel it. Just feel less horrible than other days.

[@HeartSupport]

From Micro: Yes, it is really discouraging when happiness seems to be nothing but a distant dream in our own journey. Everyone around us talk about it, so many self-help books and methods are overcrowding libraries shelves and social media, but as much as the recipe seems simple for some, it becomes a real challenhr for others. Then you start comparing yourself to others, you see them - seemingly happy - or at least having some sense of ownership in their life, and you wonder why you don't, feeling even more hurt and alone. So many times I personally asked myself if I wasn't just too broken or too far gone for the very possibility of experiencing genuine happiness. Not just as some very short and fading experience, but as something that could feel a little bit tangible and lasting. Something to hold on to without fearing the moment it would be gone. It's definitely hard to live in a world where happiness is this goal that everyone is pressured to pursue, but to feel like being constantly walking on the wrong path, towards the wrong direction where nobody else seems to be. It feels like there is a piece of the puzzle that is missing and you have no clue how to get it, despite trying your best to find it. I feel the exhaustion through your words, and the temptation to embrace some kind of resignation in the face of repeated hurt and disappointment. And honestly if that's how you feel, then that makes completely sense. There are seasons in our life when it feels like there's only so much we can take in again, only so much sorrow and brokenness we can process. It's not even the pain that hurts, it's this added feeling on top of it that you would be doomed to be stuck in an endless repetition, of having your hopes high only to see it turn to ashes over and over again. Somehow, it feels safer to just give up on hope itself, on the idea of reaching this seeingly unreachable goal one day. When you set your expectations to your level of disappointment, you avoid the possibility of being more hurt, at leastin theory. For what it's worth, to me personally there have been barriers at play that I took a long time before acknowledging. Unprocessed traumas and clinical depression have been major obstacles to reaching happiness - at least in the way I was conceiving it. I spent a lot of time surviving before realizing that I was heading into a direction that was at the complete opposite of what I needed. But the moment I started to identify those struggles, the moment I started to be helped in recognizing it and working on it, I also started to see that I am not too broken - I was just dealt with cards I had yet to process. A unique story that also needed to be told, even if there are lots of ugly parts in it. I guess my point in sharing this, is that you may not have to give up on hope, and even less on your right to live the life you aspire to get. Of course, it's okay to feel tired and even more to express it. There may paths in between though, complex and uncomfortable paths, but ones that could lead you to new ways to know and meet yourself at a deeper level. You are not the problem. Even if for example with depression my ability to feel happiness is affected, I can still see beauty in unexpected places and people that are a part of my life. Although it took - and will keep taking - practice in order to learn to see differently, with my own tools, resources, with who I am - and not from who others/society would want me to be. We can't all "just" do yoga and have walk outside to feel better, but we can still explore, experiment while being gentle with ourselves, and see what resonates the most with our heart. My hope for you is that you will keep trying, for you, for the very possibility of *feeling* alive again and whole, even beyond any sense of specific joy. You deserve to feel wonder again through this beautiful heart of yours. You deserve to feel a renewed sense of discovery - within you and in resonance with the world around you. You really do. Hold Fast, friend. I believe in you. - Micro

[@hodgekim]

I’m totally jaded. I don’t believe that love is real. Totally jaded from a 15 year marriage to a narcissist who gaslit me for 15 years.

[@TiKallisti]

I think I see where you are coming from. I found out that "happiness" is a not a goal or a place you reach, its a short term episode, a moment to cherish. Its not supposed to last for an extended period of time and its good that its that way! I need to have these ups and downs, otherwise I cant appreciate the good moments in the same way when I do not experience the dark and bad moments. I see life as just like a heart-monitor by now - it needs to peak up and down, otherwise you´ll end up with a flat line - and a flatline means you´re dead, not necessarily physically but emotionally. I know times when I'm down in a hole (which I quite often dug myself) and barely able to get a positive peak together, but these times go by. For me a part of remedy is not to take myself and the world around me too serious and to not lose my sense of humor. Even when I have nothing to laugh about, I`m still able to laugh at my own stupidity, pettiness, close-mindedness, etc.. I´m not sure if you genuinely cant feel happiness or if you are searching for something that IMHO does not exist at all (happiness for a prolonged period of time) and keep overlooking the small moments of happiness along the way. This I just how I feel about "the pursuit of happiness" and how I try to handle my depressive episodes and is not necessarily applicable to you and your situation!

Snuff is a completely different vibe for Slipknot. It's a beautiful, tragic song with great lyrics. Corey Taylor performs it solo a lot. Slipknot changes the masks with each album they put out.

[@gabrielstratton1775]

A few things to know about Maggots (the slipknot fan base) we are generally very nice people... we get our aggression out in the mosh pit... we would also love to know what the song is(especially if you are using a thumbnail from a different Era/ album/song) maybe just put it in your title... and I doubt any of us will judge you for your dancing... you were vibeing we love that this is one of our favorite bands after all. About the song, the chorus line "I push my fingers into my eyes, it's the only thing that slowly stops the ache" has been said to be a reference to chronic migraines. With certain types of migraines pressure on the eyes can relieve the pain of the headache However, on their discography many of their songs are metaphorical digs at the mainstream music industry

@heartsupport I'm a recovering addict and have major depression disorder. Slipknot has been my catharsis for 20 years. Nero forte by Slipknot is a must listen. I would live to see a reaction by you.

[@HeartSupport]

From Micro: Congrats on the active recovery, friend. Really. Addictions are such tough beasts to tackle, and I imagine all the steps it took you to get to this very point of being in a stage of active recovery. From the recognition of the struggle itself, the brutal reality check it takes to say "I'm not okay and I need help", the willingness to change direction when something inside you insists on moving you towards sabotaging yourself, the welcoming of others help and support into your life, the recognition of your own strengths and resources... and the bravery to share it here. That's so many steps you've been taking, so many milestones reached, so much resilience gained over time. I don't know if you ever took time to celebrate it all - or even just some of it - but I really wanted to acknowldge it here. You are amazing, and I wholeheartedly believe in you as you are on this healing journey, especially as you also navigate the realms of depression. That's something I deeply resonate with - the days when you just don't feel much and want to stay stuck in bed are a real hurdle, too often invisible to others. For what it's worth from a stranger like me... I see you, I see your efforts, I see your strength through it all. The nights of utter loneliness and desperation you had to walk through, and the beauty of learning to bloom again now, differently. May music keep being a catharsis, as much as you need, and may your path keep unfolding towards healing, towards the life you aspire to have, towards the emotional safety you deserve to know. You got this. - Micro

This is one of the coolest premises for music review videos. Using music as a tool to help people relate to their mental health is something I really jive with. As a long-time musician who has been a student and practitioner of Tibetan Buddhism, I really appreciate what you do. I see the beautiful light that shines through you and your intent to bring understanding and healing to troubled minds. Using popular music as a tool to help with that the way you do is awesome. There is a wealth of deep experience that artists express through their lyrics that people can use to relate to their own experience. Having someone like you to help draw the connection between a listener's experience and that of the artist, in a mental health context, is a precious thing. Keep doing what you do. I look forward to watching more of your videos. Thank you!

"It's the only thing that slowly stops the ache ..." was a life changing sentence for me back in 2005: I had to move away from home because of work. I left my whole life behind me, all my friends, family, my whole familiar environment in which I had been able to live carefree for over 20 years. It felt so terribly empty and nothing made sense anymore. That was the time when I listened to a lot of Slipknot, Chimaira, Hatebreed and so on. This one line kept buzzing around in my head until I thought to myself ‘The only thing that slowly stops the ache’ is to find a woman and put down new roots here. What can I say? - Found a wife, got married, have 2 kids and bought a house. Thanks Corey!

[@lucky13driver]

I can relate to the song. “l push my fingers into my eyes, it’s the only thing that stops the ache.” Takes on a different meaning for me. My 24 year career of being a first responder, I’ve seen everything from murder scenes, suicides, to bodies twisted like pretzels in auto accidents. The digging fingers into my eyes part. Is me trying not see those scenes on a continuous loop in my mind nonstop. The stopping the ache part. Is knowing that there is four years left till retirement. The title Duality is the career I love Vs. the toll it takes on my mind and body. I smile watching you dance. As long as you enjoy it. Keep doing it.

[@HeartSupport]

From Micro: @lucky13driver A career like yours is pursued out of passion, meaning, purpose. You don't get into it with only half of your soul involved. But along the way, it pushes you to feel as if you have to lose parts of yourself too, which freaking hurts. Life in general doesn't have the same shape once you see people in their darkest and most vulnerable moments. When you see in the eyes of someone the shock and despair someone can experience in a situation of emergency, as well as how fragile and uncertain life can be. There is, without a doubt, a before and an after when you witness all of this, and I imagine how much it must feel at times like this process gets repeated each time you are called for a new situation. The mind can block it all and creates a needed numbness at times, but there are moments when the day goes silent, when you can finally breathe more slowly, but also when it must feel like your start taking the measure of all the things you've seen. I hope that you manage to rely on your loved ones, even possibly on professional support as much as you need. Helpers need help, and the job you are doing is definitely one of a kind. You make such a beautiful impact on people's lives by being there when they need you the most. But you also deserve the same care, and to have people supporting you. No matter how ugly it can be to talk about it, you deserve allies by your side who are ready to listen unconditionally and without any judgment. Just for you to have the possibility to breathe again at other stimes and seeing the beauty around you, even if retirement is in four years. You are not alone my friend. Thank you for what you do, but even more thank you for sharing about how it affects you. Oftentimes, people are afraid of talking about the trauma they experience in the "care" field, for there is this unsaid expectations of having to be the strong one. But at the end of the day, we're all human beings. And when you recognize how your job affects your mental health, it's not only opening a door to help you, but also to offer an even better support to those who need it. There is something profoundly beautiful and transformative in expressing the burdens we've been carrying, and the images that get stuck in our mind at night. Proud of you for doing it here, friend. I'm rooting for you. :heart: -Marie-Anne, Heartsupport Staff

@heartsupport, id be interested in thoughts about icp tracks. Its been a long dark life for me, but i truly feel like the dark carnival has helped keep me from going over the edge and completely losing myself.

[@Alexander_Alvini]

@heartsupport "It's strange, whenever I see a gun I think about just how petty you are And it blows my fxcking mind Yeah, it blows my fxcking mind" These lyrics from the song Custer resonate with me on a personal level. I live in a city where gun violence is very bad. And I've had a gun pulled on me before.

[@HeartSupport]

From NateTriesAgain: Yeah, there's something cathartic when lyrics literally express these deep thoughts that get stored within us from traumatic experiences. It's scary AF when all of a sudden someone pulls a gun on you and you realize how vulnerable your life is. It's such a violent expression of powerlessness. And it is jarring to our normal human experience of mutual trust and respect - like on a base level...you're human, I'm human, life is hard, we're in this together...and yet when moments like that happen, it shatters that kind of fundamental humanity, and it makes life feel awkwardly fragile. And there's anger to that - it feels like such an injustice for someone to be so selfish to put you in that position. I feel like these lyrics really speak to that anger at the injustice of it - like why would you do that?! And it's something that your heart feels the need to shout, feelings that were birthed in fear and need an expression. Thank you for sharing that here.

You dance! Groove out!

Slipknot is my therapist

[@jonburton739]

@heartsupport you're relaxed, you're sublime, you're amazing; and you don't even know the danger you're "phasing" 😢

[@tb.7788]

I’m pretty sure a lot of what the ‘I push my fingers into my eyes” part is talking practically about dealing with headaches because it does help and especially during a hangover, which Corey not only dealt with a lot in his life, but in the first three months they were together in the house they recorded this record in, most of the band was completely loaded on drugs and alcohol, and most of them, specifically Corey, turned themselves around and got sober during recording. He said at a live show that he got to a point where he was drinking three bottles of whiskey a day. That line definitely makes me think of that. He was a mess behind the scenes during their first and second records. And a lot of the second record he said he recorded drunk.

my favorite mask is the white mask with the black stripes. it was the one worn by the drummer :)

[@user-wt6rm4gi8w]

She said "Y'all"!!!!!!! Love it. I wish Metal was more popular in the South. Of course, I love country, too. LoL.

[@prividinc]

A great many slipknot songs are about mental health, likewise, Disturbed, Black Sabbath etc.

[@madcat2713]

Eyeless! Can wait to hear it!💚⚔💚

[@user-uy3mv2gq5d]

Corey is the man!!! Anything the dude does. Slipknot.. Stone Sour… CMFT. His Veteran foundation. He’s the dude. His backstory to his success is unreal. Rock on Corey!! He is an inspiration and more people need to know who Corey is; where he came from and who he is today.

[@benbrownell21]

@HEARTSUPPORT I like what you said about “You cannot kill what you did not create.” Another way I like looking at it is from the alternate perspective of “You can only kill what you’ve created” 10:55

[@DiegoLo006]

Greetings to the old guy in the rocking chair behind you

[@hammerfist3972]

I got into Slipknot when I was 12 and when I was 13 I came out as gay. Slipknot was my strength to be true to myself and how to deal with the bullies, and people who wouldn't accept it. When I was 14 when this song came out I was getting beat up alot for being gay. Duality got me through it, and gave me the power to fight back towards the homophobic students that afflicted pain on me. Now I'm 34 now and I'm a strong gay man and I thank Slipknot for that.❤

[@ChwanchusLongus52]

well, that song was my favorite during the time i was mourning about the loss of my beloved wife...

[@performancetesting1]

@heartsupport I always loved this song's lyrics. The song is by a hardcore band called "Bane" and is called "Ali Vs. Frazier": "how many more days will you sit and talk about your ambitions all that you can be the person you are dying to be the place you want to get to but always out of reach before that fury swells inside of you grows so big that it forever quiets you stand up to your demons make a run at your goliath find the best, find the worst waiting in both of you it's not the who or the what that is lasting but how you fight that is the fight the only mark that will not leave you and i will feel my heart drum its final beat if it meant that i have given this my all there's nothing left for me to believe in if not you, if not this... what else is there but death? (it's your call... it's all on you) give more give everything give blood" Edit: Corrected typo in lyrics

[@alainlyrette5208]

Slipknot it my favorite bands see them live and it was fucking amazing

[@joaoaugustolandim]

"I push my fingers into my eyes" is just about pressing your eyes to relieve a head ache.

[@TheUnsubScribe]

That’s a badass blankie. Edit: DANCE THAT HEART OUT, T!!!

[@AdenHoyle]

@heartsupport “Wishing” yes you made a very good point. I know I should have the ability to get out of this rut through internal strength but even meds don’t help. “Fingers in eyes” I know this feeling. It’s extreme frustration and stress from the world. It’s a kind of ache that sits behind the eyes. “I’m not gonna make it” The pain, frustration and stress seems so overwhelming that a human shouldn’t be able to withstand it. “My future seems like one big past” No hope for any positive change in the future. People with ptsd and severe depression can relate to this song. It’s feels like a good pressure valve release but I question whether it’s helpful or harmful. Either way, great song from a great band 🤘

[@michaelskillman7714]

I get more therapy watching her videos than I do talking to my therapist

[@srudine]

Yes.

[@jonburton739]

@heartsupport i love these videos. I have been struggling with depression. Some of my comments were pleading; sorry.

[@jaimetorres9050]

You should interview Corey, he’s wicked smart

[@damunchman3120]

Corey Taylor is a genius. He also has another band that is WAY different than the sound of Slipknot, called Stone Sour. He does my all time favorite song called 'Bother'. Bother has helped me through a lot. Another great song by Stone Sour is 'Through Glass'. Both are definitely recommended.

[@DayTripper1025]

Dance away fellow metal head dance away 🤘🤘🤘

[@thesnakewhisperer9372]

As someone who has been a Slipknot fan since their debut album and someone who has suffered from depression for as long as I can remember, the lyric "you cannot kill what you did not create" was not a defeat lyric. I always saw it as a call of defiance. You can't kill me because you didn't make me who I am. It was more of a middle finger to people trying to bring you down for being the person you are. It's part of the duality this song is named after. In my opinion, it's the big FU to people that want to pull you down while still being in a deep hole yourself.

[@NathanielBaker370]

Fun fact to people who don’t know but this video was shot at a fans house and slipknot had to pay $50,000 to the fans parents due to the damages

[@MMHD6]

Appreciate the thumbnail

[@williamwatashe8258]

Welcome Sister Magget❤

[@Jim87_36]

@HeartSupport As far as the lyric the hit new hard personally was not Slipknot but All That Remains “Become the Catalyst” “Let the Fire consume me! LET THE FIRE BURN! Let the courage flow through me! LET THE FIRE BURN! I POUND THE WALLS I SHAKE THE CAGE I WILL NOT FALL I WILL NOT FAIL!” Makes me rethink everything i thought about the music i was listening to and sought more of that “punch-in-the-face” power that metal tends to have.

[@mikebertram619]

It's funny seeing this one , now that you're a Slipknot fan now

[@spiff3872]

The "I push my fingers into my eyes" part is not about self harm, its about self relief thru unconventional means. Follow the rest of the verse. If he doesnt stop the pain he wont survive, so he does what he must to stop the ache. As someone with chronic migraines I get it, sticking thumbs in between the eye & upper orbital socket actually provides relief. Freaks ppl out but gives me a momentary pause. At the time of this song he was a major alcoholic with bad migraine issues.

[@sleepnot6884]

thank you

[@jamiewilhelm901]

Slipknot is not bad. I've been a fan of Slayer since 1983.

[@zayne125]

We struggle living life where it is, because the economic system we live in pressure us to always be thinking about where life will be, the next step, the next achievement, the next goal. We can't appreciate life well, living constantly on survival mode.

[@supahfly2106]

I took the lyric. "You cannot kill what you did not create" as my legacy, because it's mine. I created it with my choices good, or bad it's only mine.

[@gpjones1986]

As others have said snuff is heart-wrenching. But psychosocial is a great one for frustration and angst.

[@Kittiepurrs]

Thank you 😺

[@anabiday7681]

Corey Taylor is an Artist! SlipKnot has got me through years of struggles, I love your channel!!!!

[@JohnRutherford-wn3zm]

Try a reaction for 'Come On' from Oktaf Kanis, thank you 🙌🏻

[@TheSuperhemp]

Idk. This one has always spoken to me and been a karaoke staple of mine for a long time. This song has helped me through a lot of pain and mental anguish their the years. At times when it feels like pushing your fingers into your eyes or hurting yourself somehow is the only thing that stops the internal pain. Love slipknot.

[@Barbrosef]

RIP Paul and Joey....
