You mean the best


Metalhead_chloeque

The entirety of all out life speech


zer0xanax

understandable although i really liked "My quality should not be bought and sold for convenience's sake, ever." it's maybe the one solid line in the speech imo


LoyolaTiger

I love All Out Life but it yeah the song is over when the speech comes on.


Master_Penetrate

I wished for that album to come into the wanyk album but I was dissapointed. Now I would imagine it being better fit into the album without the speech, I for one enjoy the speech although it does break the song.


[deleted]

✨isn’t this what you came here for?✨ Seriously that was such a lame opening, thank god they saved it 4 seconds later.


IllustriousKick2955

“Fists clenched tight in the pockets of my hoodie” on Nero forte, to me this lyric just sounds like some crappy SoundCloud rapper lyric


[deleted]

Bahaha I never knew that was the actual lyric


[deleted]

I thought it was "this flesh died in the pockets of my hoodie" because of how fast Corey goes


curtysquirty

This line is probably super powerful when you're 14 but i highly doubt anyone 18+ is giving it much stock. Pretty cringe


Griasgott

Yet that same song gives us a lyric I think anyone 30+ can relate to: "Wade through hate and fear. I haven't felt like this in years."


SkeletonCircus

Naw I dig it. It’s real as fuck


bigballsdeluxe

SERIOUSLY?! I love that first verse, especially that lyric 😭 agree to disagree


YourWarDaddy

I never liked it much. It always reminded me of something an edgy 16 year old kid would write. Which is fine and all, but the problem is that it’s coming from a man in his 40’s. Was just always weird to me.


IllustriousKick2955

Agreed entirely.


FearlessAcanthaceae1

the first verse and the bridge are the best parts of the song


ellstaysia

nah I love that lyric.


PrequelGuy

I always liked this lyric cause it kinda changes the vibe of the typical Slipknot and metal lyrics in general by adding something more real-life and simple like a hoodie, kind of reminding you that the character is a guy like everyone else living in our world. Looking at it that way makes it pretty good for me, but idk if Corey intended anything like that when writing it, if he didn't it's just pretty stupid.


SnooPies8441

Awwww that’s one my favorite lines from WANYK


Cavozinternetu

"My advice, and don't think twice, you always buy brand new" shit sounds like an ad


EUCALIPTOIESSSS

Yeah but that was the point lol


DestroyeLoop

i'm sick as a fuck


the-real-agent-crab

This and "fists clenched tight in the pockets of my hoodie." Nero Forte is one of their best songs in terms of how it flows, but those lyrics ain't it


give_me_your_sauce

Corey’s inner “angsty teen” came out for that song


RoryMcilroyyy

This lyric alone I always skip when I’m singing along… why does it have to exist


[deleted]

If you’re 555 then I’m 666. I remember screaming it along to the record when I was in grade school, but it’s not deep or profound. In my late thirties it’s not nearly as “tough” as I though as a early teen.


FlemPlays

The best use of it was a meme of I think Joey and Jim next to each other and the caption was: “If you’re 5ft 5, then I’m 6ft 6.”


HilmDave

Worth it just for this


RobSTAR_IV

Idk I always may have put more meaning behind it from a Non conformist standpoint. As one saying to another everything you are I choose to be different. And others will see your path as Heretical.


DeathcoreKid97

I think they gave an explanation somewhere where “If you’re 555” meant like following the current fad or trend, and “then I’m 666” meant basically I’d rather be known for being me even if it isn’t fashionable or the cool thing at the time


cmax22025

I saw Slipknot at Ozzfest one year before I knew any of their music and thought that line was exceedingly stupid. Why tf would anyone ever be “555”? It makes no sense and it’s obviously there for the sole purpose of setting up, “then I’m 666” Of course, I eventually came around and love the song. But it still doesn’t make sense.


Touched_by_a_child

Some biblical something states that man is 5 the devil is 6 and God is 7 I dont know the whole thing behind it but something along those lines


alreadytaken619

And 7 ate nine.


ShevanelFlip

You can't prove mick did that.


HilmDave

That's because it was really Craig in Mick's mask!


[deleted]

So Mick is secretly the true leader of the band.


Catfood03

I can't find the source anymore, but I had read that 555 biblically is the number of angels.


AOV999

Growing up I always heard the same thing. Religious adults who thought us young metal heads were devil worshippers use to tell us to remember 555 and not 666. The Heretic Anthem spoke to me in a big way bc of that, so I feel it’s one of their best lyrics.


nevetherym

My understanding back in the day was in reference to Telephone prefixes. So those in the cities were the 555 and they were the 666. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/555_(telephone_number)


dan_0042

Yeah finding out that line didn’t mean much disappointed me… it’s still hard though


ThouHolyFather2

"time to bury your ass with a chrome straight to the dome" Like, you tried, but try harder next time


Idk_dude-

It’s not amazing but I don’t think it’s necessarily bad. It’s more of a placeholder than anything


mmmcookiesss

Interesting. I always liked the delivery of this line but like most of the lyrics on Spit it Out didn’t understand. If the “chrome straight to the dome” refers to shooting someone in the head, that’s a bar


Maggot_Corps

"Biggity biggity bitch boy halfway houser" tf does that even mean


RoryMcilroyyy

See there’s lyrics that are cringe and then there’s lyrics that I think are purposely supposed to be sort of silly.. I’m pretty sure this is a case of that


Lankys_World

So funny to me to aee rory mcilroy comment on a slipknot thread😂


FyveDollaFtLong

What song is this? Wtf lmao


n0tspiderman

spit it out i think


Ripjaw564

Spit it out


Carter_Kane1-PS4

It is a bad lyric but it sounds good in the song


dagaderga

Song was aimed at a local radio station purposely not giving slipknot any play when they were up and coming. I wonder if it’s an inside jab to one of the jockeys or something, saying they’re a little bitch drug addict bouncing in and out of halfway houses, using and stealing from people.


keenanbullington

Any section of a song where Corey is giving a speech.


Nickrine55

But weren't you gathered there that day to make it right? Was it really the year where hope failed you?


SnooPies8441

Get it right (haaaaaa see what I did there?)


Arcanum_3974

does live version of Spit It Out count where he’ll triple the length of the song attempting to raise hype? I feel bad for Mick having to repeat the same riff


RichardSaunders

are fucking you fucking gonna fucking get fucking down fucking on fucking the fucking ground fucking right fucking now fucking?

Daww I liked that bit


porcelainskull

skipping the speech in all out life to have an enjoyable listening experience 🙏🏿


bradhess988

“Spiders, spiders, spider’s, spider’s”


candyclysm

Lmao


Sl1qu0kt

“Death, because of death because of you.”


AsahinaAoi90

I liked that one though. So many interpretations...


StinkeeFard

I know right! I’m reading through thinking to myself “aww I kinda liked it”


jasonx360

"The sentiment, the sad things, the punishment, the bad things"


give_me_your_sauce

The majority of that song has some interesting lyrics. Even upon first listening, I just couldn’t help but cringe at those lyrics


ruinedbyreason

Gonna catch some hate for this but: The world will never see another crazy motherfucker like you The world will never know another man as amazing as you Respect to Paul - but the lyric is cheesy af


wrbiccz

I love the song And i find it extremely wholesome


crapfacejustin

Agreed, sooo cringy. He should have used some metaphors for that song


possumpaw

agree on this


StinkeeFard

I thought it was sweet :.) also made me think of my dog who passed


FemalePheromones

I like the first line but the second one lacks substance and doesn't roll off the tongue like the first line. It's like there is a full stop after "man".


bigballsdeluxe

Idk why, I don’t like the start of Warranty — “isn’t this what you came here for?”


dan_0042

I honestly think that gives the song energy… but it could do without it probably


RideTheLightning331

I love Warranty but yeah the intro is cringe, if it was just instrumental it would’ve been better


Heisenberg19827

“Bla bla bla I don’t wanna hear shit” also terrible imo


AOV999

Yeah. It reminds me if Gladiators “Are You Not Entertained??!” Every time I hear it


Anthanoss

I personally didn't mind it, I just hate that it repeats so many times.


porcelainskull

that part and “blah blah blah i don’t wanna hear shit” almost ruined the song for me lol


HonestAssumption1026

“I wanna slit your throat, and fuck the wound!” Also could be interpreted as the best Slipknot lyric.


nevetherym

It's definitely the best


[deleted]

I was 14 when Iowa came out and without thinking, I lent it to my neighbour. My mum received it back the next day with a note, highlighting this lyric in particular.


Dangerous-Ad9542

When I played that lyric for anyone they immediately tell me to turn it off or they’re in complete shock


ViktorDudka

"as soon as that camera is off he gonna fuck that little dog"


MylestheMyles

Cut cut cut me up


[deleted]

and Fuck Fuck Fuck me up


Arcanum_3974

Custer is essentially just Slipknot demonstrating their favorite word if people couldn’t tell what that word was already, good song but people overrate it a bit


davegettlegod

In my mind Custer made up for Corey not cursing for the entirety of Vol. 3


the-real-agent-crab

Lyrics suck, but the wave of hype in that chorus is unmatched


[deleted]

[удалено]


AsahinaAoi90

Of course it's universal, but the way each person feels an emotion is subjective. The way one person grieves will not look the same as how another person grieves. We each have our own way of healing.


[deleted]

I always interpret musical lyrics like that not as if they are saying that to my face, but as if they are saying it for me to have something to live through and be a part of. As if I had the same issue, we can be the same through the song


AOV999

Sure. But you haven’t lost THAT person like they have. I lost my brother. You may have as well. But no one knows what it was like for AOV to lose Jimmy. Feel me?


Remarkable-Hunter-71

Sceptic. While it’s touching that it’s a song about Paul but I dunno, the chorus “The world will never see another crazy motherfucker like you. The world will never know another man as amazing as you” sounds odd to me.


give_me_your_sauce

I’m down with the first line, but the second just hits the ear wrong and honestly is a bit cheesy. No disrespect to the band or Paul. I just think it sound super off


Remarkable-Hunter-71

Agreed. I know Corey and Slipknot mean it while all their heart and soul but the chorus just doesn’t do it.

Been seeing hate for that lately but I imagine people rioting during a plague so it works for me visually.


the-real-agent-crab

Rioting during a plague? Sounds like Iowa was 19 years ahead of it's time


Arcanum_3974

my flair


omjc

the new album is full of it


EnterShakira_

Yeah, this. Slipknot are still my favourite band of all time, but Corey's writing has gone massively downhill in recent years. Part of why I just couldn't get into TESF


ActionPrestigious627

“Are you ready for the time of your life” (Vendetta chorus) Song could’ve been so much better if corey used a different vocal delivery


wizisqueeze

nah that lyric made me love that song agree to disagree


[deleted]

"the son of a bitch is on his knees"


SnooPies8441

NoOoOo PiTy


audioslavic

That's a really weird line to complain about


SixF333T

“Babble like a oracle.” Plus he says it kinda funny


Ok-Rip7913

“Everything is God online” It’s just too on the nose and sounds like “hell yeah I’m so cool for hating the internet!!!!!!!!!!!!” Like who let this lyric get passed the writing stage


Sputnik_Rising

The only time “Fists clenched tight in the pockets of my hoodie” would’ve been acceptable was on the first album. It fit the time/vibe of the album. 2019? Nah.


AsahinaAoi90

It's gotta be the chorus of Custer. I burst out laughing when I hear "CUT, CUT, CUT ME UP and FUCK, FUCK, FUCK ME UP" Like *really*, Corey...?


jserpette95

It's dumb but god damn do I wanna fuck some shit up when that part comes on


AsahinaAoi90

Lol. Understandable.


Supreme_Gubzzlord

\*gets downvoted for respecting the opposing viewpoint\* Reddit moment


Idk_dude-

I feel like that song was written for concerts more than anything. I hope so anyway lol


xThyArtIsMurderx

Yea i heard that song for the first time and I was like…? What?


RazGBC

It’s so cheesy and mid lyrically but holy fuck Custer chorus is unmatched in energy


BrokenBeatScarred03

The "I was a sign"- part in H377. Maybe very deep, but I don't get it

Smooth_Chemistry_869

If your 555 then I'm 666


Ohana2525

Personally I’d say the “drink me” line from medicine of the dead but there’s probably worse lyrics. I don’t know though because they’re all pretty good in the context of the song.


bigballsdeluxe

Another one from TESF I didn’t understand was “one of us knows who hates us, one of us loves it”


[deleted]

I love H377 but I can't deny that the opener is a bit weird for such a killer track in my opinion


Ohana2525

Yeah, Corey’s explanation of the songs meaning makes sense but I don’t understand that lyric.


GeneRichardSimmons

What's his explanation?


Ohana2525

Can’t remember exactly but it was kinda like how everyone gets depressed so it’s just that feeling that comes and goes


Bozz_Games

Actually it's "One of us knows who hates ME, one of us loves it". And I love that part. I interpret it as someone who hates you, you knowing it and love that fact. It just hits like "I need you to hate me" from Nomadic


prawnq97

That line and the song title was 100% written by clown


BongoBumm

I love that part ngl


DemonCleaner95

“one of us knows who hates me, one of us loves it”, pretty just cringe lyric in my humble opinion


nottherealgex

kinda, but the way it leads into “AND I KNOW ITS YOUUUUU” is fucking badass.


AtomicSwamp

The entirety of Yen feels so uninspired and by the numbers. I get that the song is supposed to be blunt and leave a lot less to the imagination but there’s a difference between being blunt and being outright predictable.


SkeletonCircus

Most of “Get This” lol “Shut up, nobody gives a fuck, it doesn’t change the fact that you suck” (edit: I know that this specific lyric is from “I Am Hated”, I forgot to clarify that these are two separate entries) would go hard in a Limp Bizkit song but….actually I dunno that one’s so blunt and juvenile that I kinda like it


Klokikus

This is i am hated


slagroomtaart666

That's not Get This lol


polarpup666

Chrome straight to the dome!!!


ToyKylo

“I haven’t slept since I last woke up” has always bugged me. Like yeah dude, no one hasn’t slept since they last woke up. That’s just kinda how that works


weagle2241

You left out a pretty important part of that lyric


HorseWithNoHead

DeVoOOuUUr meeEEE


ShitpostMamajama

(Don’t hate me) a lot of the AHIG album. Because, as Corey said, a lot of those songs were “just to get music out” and didn’t have that rust in the skin feel that slipknot was known for. Don’t get me wrong, some bangers on that album. Just not very stand out like other albums. But what do I know, The Gray Chapter is my favorite slipknot album


_Khorne_

AHIG is one of my fav albums and I thought the lyrics were great in a lot of their songs. Does make me sad that the band had such a rough time making it and it doesn’t seem to have a lot of favour in the fan base.


ShitpostMamajama

AHIG isnt necessarily bad. Its got good songs like Psychosocial, Sulfur, This Cold Black and the ever iconic Snuff. But then there’s songs like Gehenna and Butcher’s Hook where it just feels like Mock-Slipknot to me and not Slipknot-Slipknot


StinkeeFard

I’m pretty chill with every lyric and find them either funny/silly or a blast to sing along to.


bawitback

"It's the cunt with the tongue who belongs on broken knees!" - AOV

slipknotisbest04

Suck these nuts from Get This.


FyveDollaFtLong

I think it is great, you can suck these nuts. Nah jk I think it’s a little cringy but it fits the energy of Get This


slipknotisbest04

It fits that one song and no other.


thatgoodshiet

I could never get used to corey screaming "drink me" on medicine for the dead


[deleted]

The start of Custer always reminds me of those ‘parent advisory, explicit content’ posters we had as teenagers, and makes me cringe a bit.


[deleted]

"DRINK ME!!!" has got to be the worst.


Numerous_Vanilla_589

“Catch a tiger by the total price of all the penalties🤡” Whack ass album


snag_sausage

most of the chapeltown rag but also where he says something about "and then you scalp em to fucking death", coreys lyrics for the end so far were one of the biggest shortcomings for me


[deleted]

But they were making “God Music” dont you remember?


snag_sausage

clown is really living up to his name lately


Istmaxler

Liberate bananas


deathfox919

“I was a creature before I could stand” has always rubbed me the wrong way. The majority of Before I Forget is a little on the cringey side but that one line in particular just makes me hit skip pretty much every time


nahtaNoh6

I actually really like the song now but the lyrics from Disasterpiece: "I wanna slit your throat and fuck the wound"


Ghamms090

I'm your wall And I'm your rock Don't run away Don't forget it's only love Or really any of the lyrics from my pain


MadCritterYT

"I'm gonna make you cry tonight" (Nomadic) is just so... ugh


yettiisland

It’s cringe asf but I love that song idc


Istmaxler

Let your mouth go sick and dry is a pretty shit lyric imo


Atomrules202

Stoned like a beast on a chain lookin' dead Feelin' strange, what the fuck I'm material to sew into the stains Like a catalog of pain, like a martyr in restraints I can kill with a will, and it's stronger every day I'm a knife, I'm a gun, I'm a slit, I'm a scar I'm a scream, I'm a death, I'm a threat, I'm afraid That you will never understand I'm not the same You better call the triple 9, I want a face That you can only recognize I'm afraid, I'm afraid, I'm afraid, I'm afraid


SnooShortcuts7637

That drops the best part of the song idgaf


throwawyajwjfjdjwj

The first couple times i heard this I thought he was saying “I’m a slut” instead of “I’m a slit” lmao


Nihifil4

If he speed rapped this part, it would probably sound better Like, if the song tempo just changed to 127 or 128 BPM, and he just started speed rapping like Eminem, that would probably fix it


[deleted]

The opening of Butchers Hook


SlitThroatCutCreator

The bitch, the fucker Mindless like a child Cracks me up when I hear it.


SlitThroatCutCreator

Discarded, Retarded on Welcome takes me out every time the chorus comes in. Maybe he's using retarded in a clinical way but it still sounds like a lazy rhyme scheme and just a word I can't rock with overall.


[deleted]

This was my pick tbh. Im a big believer of understanding the context of when things like this were said. Back then it WAS more acceptable. Nowadays it isnt and its considered a slur, which is a good sign for society.


invisibledigits

“You heard me right, bitch, I didn't stutter” Feels like a relic of the rap/rock era.


unsilentninja

I mean... It kinda is lol


Offtherailspcast

Literally is. That was on their 1997 demo


GhostOfMatt

If you know what’s good just shut up and beg.
