"Slipknot Song Meanings."

My plague = My plague is about everyone who does the same thing to be in with it. These are the people who are trying to be cool. Corey sez he hates those M.F's and sez people hould just do everything by themselves.

The Heretic Anthem -
The Heretic Anthem is about Corey standing his ground of becoming the exact opposite of what people want him to be, to prove a point. The point of not selling out, not following people, not taking orders from people. With lyrics describing man as 555, Satan as 666, and God as 777, the theme of hate once again prevails. It is also a large 'F66k You' to the music industry and bands that have sold out. It also states that now, Corey is teaching the young of our race (teenagers) which refers to showing them the truth of life. That it's not all pink and happy, that it can be a brutal and scary place at times

New Abortion -
The interpretation for New Abortion is as follows:

With the quote "I'm ethereal, my children are legion, serial They stick to my skin like beloved cysts" Corey is getting across that all of us maggots stick together, we are one, and Corey feels like we are all his children, and he is the guiding light to show us the way.

With the quote "Everywhere you look, it's like they know, their fingerprints are hidden by CONTROL" He is stating that these parents/authority figures, think they know every little thing about everything. The reality is they have no clue what the younger generatoin is capable of, and they fail to realize this, with all these rules and restrictions.

With the Quote "You Cant Take My Soul Away From Me" Corey is saying you do not control me, and you never will. Meaning I am for me. Not for you, get the f66k out of here, I am not your puppet.

With the quote "What do you need to see? Ya feel the impact?" He is saying do you need to be shown what we are capable of? Your not going to take our word for it because your stubborn and think your right.

The basic overlay of New Abortion is we maggots need to stick together to survive. We will not stand to be pushed around any longer. We will not be looked down upon anymore because there is so much more depth, so much more then what these a$$holess see. They look, they judge, and that's the end of it. They don't bother to wander beneath the surface of things. They think they're right and really they're so wrong it's pitifull they do not realize we maggots are done with the be-littling. Time to take control.

Left Behind -
In Left Behind, there is alot of metaphors of Corey attempting to explain what is happening to him. The basis of the song is that a dear friend of Corey was never actually there. The person was always trying to be someone else, and never said what they wanted to, did what they wanted to, etc. Because of this, Corey cannot deal with it and is ending their relationship. He is extremely depressed and is not too stable of himself and is giving the statement that if the person tries to get close to him again, that he will take drastic actions.

I'll be right back.

Well, to me Slipknot have the skills, but don't utilise them very well- it all ends up somewhere between thrash, death metal and nu metal. Plus, they include a DJ and an Effects Specialist in their lineup, when they really should only be counted as part of their production team. But for creativity, Slipkont doth rock.

Duality is apparently about relationships between the band members, how some of them really hate each other etc.

Lol, that was a brilliant response DT. Yeah I love slipknot too.
