[@kaitaiadragon9518]

The band members picked how they're old selves got to die, and they are personal fears of each. Chris (with the big nose) is terrified of birds so he picked being killed by birds, same with Craig being scared of being attacked by dogs. Sid makes his living with his hands and fingers on the dj gear so losing those would be the end of who he is to himself. There's a lot behind pretty much any slipknot song and video that's so worth looking into

[@ScottyJ726]

It's probably already been done or mentioned, but you NEED to react to Snuff live - Corey Taylor.

[@Allthemotioninwhite]

This was my daughter’s favorite song on the album when it came out in 2014 when she was 4. Including Custer. You have to remember this song and album was after Paul Grey died.. hence the albums name.

[@grobertson3171]

I love ypu.. so into it.. awesome

[@markoszapatistakis498]

The song's music video was directed by Slipknot drummer Shawn Crahan and features the destruction of band members in various ways. Chris Fehn, for instance, is pecked to death by ravens, a fate he requested for himself as the percussionist suffers from a fear of birds. Sid Wilson, meanwhile, eats his arm and fingers in the clip, destroying the things most important for the DJ's role in the band.

[@aedramelek4724]

I have something to add: Slipknot traditionally swaps masks with new ones for every album. In this case, the people who are "self-harming" in the video are their "old" themselves with the old masks, while the ones actually playing the song are the "present" themselves with a new style for the new album. Btw fire reaction, love from Italy!

[@uwekraemer0808]

Excellent interpretation! Because they end their mourning for Paul Gray after such a long time and start again. To do this, they have to leave the old behind. Symbolising the past and their former identities, they destroy the old masks.

[@BionicLeg]

@@uwekraemer0808 I watched the behind the scenes documentary for this particular song when it came out and Sean Crean said that was his vision for the song. They are destroying their old selves so the new "them" can emerge.

[@Jellybeat90]

Great interpreation, you can also see that their old and new selfs are wearing different overalls. i might not remember this correct, but the way they die in the clip has also something to do with their own fears. one of them is afraid of dogs and another of birds.

[@46993-r]

Slipknot switch masks between every appearance. You may not notice some small details, but it's more rare to see the same mask for more than a few appearances. A lot have only ever been seen once.

[@aedramelek4724]

@@46993-r mask is the same, details slightly change. Only exception I can think about is late Gray Chapter, during which Corey completely changed mask, even if the theme of the mask was more or less the same

You should definitely watch the making of this music video. You'll definitely see some more interesting things about each member of the band on a psychological level.

[@nadjasunflower1387]

If I remember right. each way the band members " go out " is their own personal fear. I.E. Corey staring at a blank page because of writers block.

[@ryanstedman41]

I love the symbolism of “killing off” past versions of yourself with this video. Kinda sums up where I was at psychologically for much of 2023 getting through attachment trauma and a couple nasty breakups. This was also the first song I learned on guitar so it has a special place in my heart

[@ntalekapiteni5051]

That's why I've always loved Slipknot. Absolute symbolism in everything they said and especially how it's depicted in their videos

[@yuritahdid1475]

"You should have burned when you turned on everyone" are lyrics that I think all of us can relate to about someone who fucked us over bad! Just one reason wjy I've seen them 7 times and they're my favorite band of all time hands down.

[@Threegreentails]

I feel like if you actually listened to the lyrics and tried to analyze it instead of talking over it, it would be much more interesting video than just you talking about the title of the song.

[@Threegreentails]

@@jordanncyr Its more constructive criticism than hating but you are free to feel offended if you want to. If you gonna talk about a song like you understand its meaning you might as well try to actually listen to the lyrics otherwise it just comes off disingenuous.

[@patmullen7597]

Your reaction was fantastic. It is so relieving to occasionally watch someone actually listen to the lyrics and try and get the meaning behind them, whether it's the artists intended meaning or one you pull from them for yourself. More importantly, my faith in humanity refuses to die, as much as I'd like it to, because of the minority of people in the world like yourself you actually give a damn about other people. If only there were a lot more like you. Thank you for this.

[@HeartSupport]

This means a lot to me. Thanks so much for watching

[@ron-gu8ln]

@patmullen7597. That was spot on !!! Exactly what I was thinking. @Heartsupport. Thank you so very much for these videos and the work it takes to edit and make them. Thank you. You are making a difference

[@TheRedwolfofradagon]

​​​Hey! ​@@HeartSupport I know I'm like 4 weeks late but, you should react to songs like "In my darkest hour" - Megadeth, "suicide note pt. 1 and 2" - Pantera, and "Fade to black" - Metallica, "Kill yourself" - S.O.D stormtroopers of death, I feel like you would lole them.

[@skarlottt]

Such an underrated comment.

[@CurrieISU]

As a recent divorcee I lean on music and can find 736 songs for my 736 feelings I have each day. Smiling depression is a real thing as you said, “as we’re too afraid to let anyone see it because it makes us look bad” hits deep

[@HeartSupport]

From djstarion: I'm the exact same way. Sometimes it's hard to put on that facade because you don't want people to know how you're feeling and it can get mentally exhausting. But music is always that escape that can resonate with you in every way possible.

[@HeartSupport]

From Daisy1985: Thank you for sharing I was depressed for couples of years i started young on my teens at the time i didn't understand why i was so sad in the inside but happy at the outside. I came to a realization after losing my grandfather i was only 9 years old but really hit at 14. It was manage being young i was able to do things life. In 2016 that when my dark side came into place i lost 2 people in my life i couldnt bare of breathing or living, i always had to be pretend of course I didnt wanted anyone to know I was depressed, i usually distant myself from everyone that how I handle and also other process I had to work mentally. Have a happy new year May god bless you health and happiness. Love Daisy

[@HeartSupport]

From Lisalovesfeathers: Hi Friend, it truly saddens me that anyone still has to be concerned about how they look to others when you feel depressed and I am sorry that you feel the need to smile your way through when it is the last thing you probably feel like doing. Divorce is hard, its bloody hard and you are entitled to all the emotions and feelings that go with it, of course everyone wants you to be ok but the reality is that it hurts and I hope that you know that being here at heartsupport there is no pretence, no judgement, you will be heard and supported. I am pleased that music helps you through too, I found a couple of albums that helped me during a break up a number of years ago... songs I would cry through, now make me smile when I hear them. Feel free to keep in touch with us. Much Love Lisa. x

[@HeartSupport]

From Micro: I can wholeheartedly relate to what you shared about music and smiling depression. Somehow, even when you know that it's okay to reach out and safe to share how you feel, there can still be many barriers within that prevent you to do it. All of these thoughts made of self-guilt and blame that drive you to hide behind a mask, to keep up appearances as possible, because it's awfully intimidating to feel seen - not as you want to be, but as you truly are. There's something about hiding your very own vulnerability that feels safer, even though it costs so much energy and feels so vey isolating at the same time. I'm sorry you've been struggling with this inner division lately between how you feel within and what others get to see. It is amazing that you are mentioning it here though, and somehow opening that door towards how you feel, towards YOU. You absolutely deserve to have the possibility to be yourself unapologetically, to say "I need support" without any sense of guilt or shame. At the end of the day, we're all human beings trying to figure out how to navigate through this crazy thing called life. It's okay to not to be okay, and it's okay to say it. Not everyone will hear it or understand your experiences accurately, but there are people out there - and out here - who understand the depth of your struggles and will never judge you for going through a rough time. You matter, friend.

[@scottwanta6917]

Metal is my therapy

[@joshuaciresoli2927]

The haunted house vibe is fitting, especially with grief being so insidious, lurking in the shadows of our minds. The mutilation is indicative of how deeply it cuts to the very fibre of our being, sometimes resulting in suicidal ideation or actions. I have experienced this first hand during an especially severe depressive episode brought on by psychological and emotional abuse from my parent. This song just helps me vent when I am going through my trauma responses. Corey Taylor has been through so much pain (some self-inflicted) and that is why Slipknot is so relevant to me

[@HeartSupport]

From Micro: Thank you for sharing your personal take on this, especially in light of your own story and on how it has been for you to work on these traumatic experiences. Trauma healing is such a long, exhausting road to walk on. The amount of self-awareness and understanding that you convey in your comment here are really such a strong expression of how many steps you've been taking on this very path towards processing what happened to you. I know it may seem at first like "just" commenting on a music video and relating with personal experiences, but I wanted first to really acknowledge and emphasize the work you've been doing to get to the point of naming your traumas and talking about it like here. From someone who's been on a similar journey, I know how lonely that can be, and how life consuming it is especially on darkest days to face the reality of having known repeated abuse and utmost fear as a child. The way you depict grief especially resonates so very much with me, because that's the word that has been sticking the most to my own skin when it comes to processing early childhood trauma. The grief of all what could (or even should) have been, the grief of the illusion of a family that we were holding on to for the sake of survival, the grief of all the opportunities missed because of the anxiety/depression/trauma responses that followed for years and years... the grief of a life that could have been so very different, and the impression of having lost a massive amount of time to nothing but tears. It definitely feels like a waste, but a heavy, overly-present waste - not the kind that leaves you empty. It's interesting to see it now through this haunted house depicted in the video, especially when it feels like this image could be embodied litterally/physically with the home I grew up in. Over time, the haunted house becomes this lingering shadow that you know so very well and keeps hurting you, sometimes silently, sometimes more loudly, but surely takes on your energy and hope little by little. It's a dark, uneasing place as much as traumatic memories and emotional flashbacks are. It's this damaging place that seems to stick no matter what, one full of shame and hatred... but also one that feels comforting at times. Because it's a place where at least you get to choose your pain, not to suffer one that is inflicted by others, and even less by people who *should* have been trustworthy. It's the reversal of control from being taken away your safety and dignity, to becoming the very own agent of your suffering and regain, at least, some sense of ownership. For me the haunting house is definitely this place I am pushed back into, forcefully some days, but also a place that I feel deeply connected with at other times, as if I can almost feel safe in. It's a strange paradox when what's unhealthy is what feels familiar, therefore "safe" in a kind of inadequate way. Although it's life-saving to know now where the line is, and when to draw it, so you don't end up eaten alive by this urge towards self-destruction either. It's present, but it leaves room to *feel* things from the heart, and to *know* with the mind what is fair or not - and self-inflicted pain, on top of what has already been endured, is not something that one would ever deserve to know. You survived through it all, and you are here today using your voice like a new power. I know it usually feels like being strong isn't something wanted when it comes to trauma healing, but rest assured that the strength you've developped and shared through your journey are YOURS. The fruit of your willingness, of your heart, of this unique voice that you now get to share, not within the haunted house, but in a house that you own and have been building from your own sweat, tears, and the recognition of your worth. You are standing still, and that may be the most beautiful way to chase the ghosts away. Hold fast, friend.

The video shows every fear of each band member. Ironically, the song is more of a ballad for a lost.

[@PaulGuy]

People who just hear the volume think metal is just anger and hate, but it's so much deeper than that. So many social, political, and emotional messages in the songs. It's one of the only forms of modern music that directly addresses things, instead of just being vapid consumerism.

[@grahamryder5076]

"You should have burned, when you turned on everyone." Corey Taylor, the singer and principle lyricist for Slipknot is an absolute otherworldly lyricist. I worked at an infamous rock club in Detroit from 1998-2003 and got to spend a lot of time with Corey and he's an absolute smart as hell guy, he's witty and fast as hl with jokes, comebacks, etc. He also has the Guinness world record for the widest vocal range. A large percentage of hard rock and metal fans are adamant that Corey also has the undisputed best scream by far, out of all singers, past and present. His scream is also insanely difficult for even seasoned professional singers and even vocal coaches to mimic.The only other personal I know of who has an almost demonic scream and could hold his own on Broadway is Aaron Lewis. I saw him in North Carolina 2 months ago and he was showing me a bunch of new guitars he has and he sadly started smoking again! I can talk, because I also smoke and it's always affected my singing now my stamina goin up my damn steps, I can get wnded......time to quit boys & girls!

Step inside could also be asking others to see things from his perspective see that there's a devil in him but that that doesn't make him a devil as in his struggles don't have to define him as a person or how he deserves to be treated by others

[@ryanwilliams507]

Great reaction! And to add a like food for thought, the “deaths” depicted in the video are actually each band members’ worst fear of how they will die. Also the one member they were all seen stabbing was the late Paul Grey (bassist) for slipknot and each feel they contributed in his death, hence the scene

I just found your channel and i love this! I use music to help express my thoughts and feelings. Because music usually uses metaphors, it helps me explain how how i feel, because using metaphors is easier than being practical, IMO. Because feelings are usually not cut and dry, sometimes they're more complex than that and music and art in general helps explain it. Especially, with artists like Slipknot, who are very creative and visual in how they write their lyrics.

This is exactly describing my aha moment during therapy, I was around 40 and I had no idea what was the cause for - lets call it - my weirdness sometimes.

Corey said the concept for this song was killing off the band. Slipknot was very self destructive like most successful bands tend to get.

Are you familiar with Jungian psychology? Shadow work? Beyond facing our shadow ("devil") we benefit from realising its actually a part of us, and some of its traits, are good. Anger? Some things SHOULD make you angry, its just what you do with that anger. Violence? If you or your loved ones are in danger and diolomacy and running has failled, hell yes should you be violent. Heres my personal one, Sadism (and masochism but thats less socially frowned upon). Thats a hard one right, enjoying pain, thats just bad right? And if its not tempered by empathy, ethics, and a wholehearted desire for good, yes it absoloutly is bad. But im in a job that sometimes requires altercation. I'm a bouncer. I'm a bouncer because I want to keep people safe, and I have saved people from awful shit, by either psychologically manipulating the perpetrator, or by not being affraid to jump in to physically intervene. A normal person is either going to get so angry they make mistakes, or be too soft on the perp, I'm serene and in my element and yes, having fun. They consented to playing with me as soon as they spike that 21 year old, or molest someone, or harm someone. I have made peace with my shadow self.

To me, it's about finally getting out of a toxic relationship/friendship. Realizing you're not the actual problem. Not their devil anymore. Just my take.

I love the lyrics of this song. Slipknot is purely psychologically compelling to me and makes for excellent cardio music. Surfacing and People=Shit is a must!

[@aaronrunyon9362]

I love the channel, the life and energy that's so present here. However, you got this one wrong. It's about the end of a toxic relationship. It's a reference to being blamed for everything that has gone wrong in the other person's life, being that person's "devil." Saying, I'm not going to be your punching bag anymore! By the way, this is how I really feel... This is the real devil inside me and it's much much uglier than you can even imagine. Saying the things that you've held in because you wanted to keep the peace. Some things, once spoken, can't be taken back. And you won't hold onto it anymore. You want to blame me and hate me, fine but you have to hear the rage I've hidden for years. Keep up the Good work. You've given me lots to think about. There was one video that you literally had me in tears with the power and message. Keep going!

These are great. You should really think about doing some la dispute. It would be perfect for what you’re doing here.

[@1991mikerisumfeldt]

[@mjcdavies]

Wow you are spot on with this BRAVO Cory said this song was about facing your fears supposed to be each membbers fears in the video

[@jonbinley8927]

Listen to hatebreed I will be heard. Or any hatebreed song. It’s all about persevering and overcoming your demons

[@DanMeredith-ns7if]

I’m sooooo very hoping you’re reading the lyrics to the song you’re really wanting to know what the group is wanting to get across to the humans that are hearing this type of music because people who don’t give this very well worded deep message that’s being arranged in a way it almost gets you to force yourself to use a lot of cognition to come to your own conclusion of what this amazing arrangement of sounds and the intrapersonal likelihood you take away from all music by Slipknot

[@harveyblough7204]

NO IT MEANS A FRIEND A BORTHER A SISTER ANYONE CAN BE YOUR DEVIL no one know how the story plays out but they are not your devil anymore how about you really Listen to what it means and stop trying to just talk over it every word has a meaning you talk so much you miss it iam not saying this to be mean but its like tool or System of a down there is alot of meaning to the words they pack and use that a deeper meaning to all that being said

[@jcdc9437]

This song live is ordinary, just saying. Still a good song but Sulfur live, you can’t die without be there once in a lifetime. Ho yeah, I forgot the therapist, she’s cute.

[@nobodyepicz7538]

ooh i kinda wants- i mean needs.. needs you as my therapist. totally need. its important. you seem chill. relaxed. its needed in that kind of work :)

[@ericrobinson8754]

Wait until she hears Alice in Chains. For me metal has always been about coping with all the shit in your head and all the bad shit you feel. Being real about the things hiding in all the nooks. And I think the music is a way to share what you have felt. Too often it's labeled something scary, though it's misunderstood. I think she should analyze the lyrics more.
