    This 15 minute mammoth is a reworking of the original, "Killers are Quiet," that can be found on the band's debut Mate, Feed, Kill, Repeat. The song is about someone who kills women and recreates them in his own image, like a living doll type thing. While Slipknot was recording this song, Corey Taylor was completely naked and cutting himself with broken glass, then he proceeded to vomit on himself. The song's title is not in the lyrics, and the lyrics aren't printed on the album sleeve. They are printed on the CD itself.

    from my understanding this song starts right after he murders her. 'Relax, its over' meaning the chase is over. Taking her second digit could be a form of trophy or a reference to her wedding finger - by killing her he traps her with him - nobody else can have her now. Then he goes on to admire her, she is 'fascinating'. Now she is dead and he posseses her body, he can take his time and look at her, almost like an exhibit. But then her body decays, becomes 'so blue, so broken'. She becomes 'cold' and her 'eyes are full of bleach'. Meaning perhaps in her dead state he cannot garner the love he needs from her as all of her memories and personality - well its all gone. The love he craved cannot exist. In a way he is no better off and still chasing her, but now she lays there tormenting him - always with him but never acknowledging his existence or his, as he sees it, act of love. Then by the end of the song he realises that she is his to use and to love. He can 'tear her apart and recombine her'. She is, in his eyes, the very essence of beauty, and he can create whatever he wants - like a child with his favourite lego set. This way, she will 'live forever' with him. They are one being now. She is his artpiece so to speak. He also starts talking directly to her - this is, despite the decay and rot, the relationship he always wanted, and they are forever together.
    Couldn't wait for this reaction guys. Good shit. This song can put you into a really fascinating trance. And of course, this is all just an interpretation.

    14:50-16:00 is probably the gnarliest, heaviest most disturbing part in a song I have ever heard. Idk if ever heard someone’s voice become so dark like that. Knowing that a good majority of those screams in the song came from him cutting him self just adds to the darkness. Idk if there will be another band that can recreate anything as dark as this. Maybe lyrically, but not feel.

    Corey is "a little bit fucked up" on this song, in his words, as he was drinking three bottles of Jack daily. The backtracked voice is him screaming "don't look at me" at the guys in the studio, while he vomits and drunkenly cuts himself with the glass he throws at the end of The Heretic Anthem. He says when he came out of the recording booth, naked and covered in blood and puke, Clown was standing there speechless, and all he could get out was "Taylor, the fuck is wrong with you?"

    Haven't listened to this song in a while. Just downright rough stuff with this one. Every scream being one of genuine pain. Though, nobody can deny that it really showcases each of them with the atmosphere, percussion, the way they all fade out at the end one by one, and especially Paul's bassline. One of his best.

    This song is a kind of recreation of the song "Killers Are Quiet" from their original album "Mate.Feed.Kill.Repeat". The album was largely based off the lore of the White Wolf tabletop gaming universe. It dealt heavily with the werewolves, but also talked about the vampires, fae, and mages from that universe. Corey wasn't the singer in that original album, so it's safe to say they dropped the gaming references at this point. :D
    The original lyrics were from "Killers Are Quiet" are:
    [Verse 1]
    Cycle of life and death supposedly
    Goes around and around yet it stops with me
    Glorious hunters of my faith, I have sinned
    Killers are quiet like the breath of the wind
    [Verse 2]
    Filling the shadows with forms of my own
    Raised by kindred of Get I was born
    Abomination world in disarray
    Killers are quiet when they seek the vitae
    [Verse 3]
    Reflection beckons a portal shard
    Spiritual quest I must stay on guard
    Stepping sideways between worlds I shift
    Killers are quiet when they're born with the gift
    [Verse 4]
    Beautiful anguish cast out by my race
    Now one that's ageless I save my own face
    I write my own laws with death, I break bread
    Killers are quiet when they come from my head!
    [Outro]
    Run! Run! Run! Run!
    Run! Run! Run! Run!

    This is just an abridged version of my own head canon, so this means nothing (yes, this is the short version)
    But I've always felt like Slipknot has a theme that crosses over a few of their songs, particularly Prosthetics and Iowa. I think it's about memory. The idea of "keeping them", Prosthetics, a prosthetic is a tool to replace the function of a missing limb. You loose something but you can't go on with out it so you replace it's function or seek to get it back. In Prosthetics Corey basically talks like a stalker for the first half of the song, but then starts screaming "what the eff is different man I can't believe I'm doing this" wtf is different ie what I'm doing might as well be that ie this obsession I have with [her] might as well be a decaying impulse to be a criminal ie I'm not letting [her] go ie I'm "keeping [her]" ie "you will always be mine" Corey has talked about his lyrics (he said this about the Iowa album, but the point stands) as "cutting myself open and just going: look" he's telling the story of his feelings in a way that makes them ugly, shows them for the festering decay they are, partly to fit the Slipknot aesthetic or w/e sure but also partly as a kind of therapy. Like trying to defile the thing you can't let go to get over it. He's basically calling himself a stalker to try to jolt himself out of the actions which, while not actually stalking and just overstated "not letting go", he knows are wrong. SO we have the idea from Prosthetics of telling the story of memory and loss and "holding on" as if it's a story about a perverse criminal stalker. Then we come to Iowa in the next album (also Iowa xp) "Relax It's over You belong to me" "I will kill you to love you" He's basically moved in with this corpse, this rotting memory. He accepts that he lives with a corpse. But the subject in this case isn't actually a corpse, it's a memory. Now come back to "I will kill you to love you" it's actually, if phrased violently and not therapeutically, a super healthy and therapeutic impulse. He's trying to "kill [her]" (get rid of the corpse) "to love her" (to remove his "stalker like impulses", to "show real love" to "do what is right"). It's just him saying I need to end this unhealthy dynamic, bring an end to this relationship I have with a corpse; I need to move on
    I think Corey, at least in Slipknot, will sometimes make things ugly as a mechanism to help himself get distance from them (and/or he sees things in others that he's trying to make ugly to show them for what they are). You sit around all day missing a memory of someone, so you make your desire look ugly, you smell it's rot, to try to force yourself away from it, to make it less natural for you, to force a change. "I can tear you apart I can recombine you" it's all in his head. He has full control. He can do whatever he wants. He can even end it. He didn't want the relationship to end, but now after so long he might as well be lying with a rotting corpse. He's trying to tear that reality down. "I will kill you to love you"
    [In Prosthetics:] He's not a stalker, he just feels like one when he can't let go
    [In Iowa:] He's not a killer, he just wants to get rid of this "rotting corpse"

    Corey said he was cutting himself with glass during this song so his screams were really authentic … actually insane.

    During the Vol.3 tour they played only the first Half of the song

    Inside an active mind of a psychopath engaging in his first homicidal act that's been pictured in his imagination to the point of needing to feed the impulse of doing it and all the while cutting up his first victim, looking down upon the corpse of this female body he falls in love with her..... and is his forever after. Gotta love the poetry in it 🤪🤣🤘🤡🤘🎅☃️🎄

    They did this whole album in Iowa in a haunted house and they said they would see shadows walking everywhere and the drummer broke his body and played the drums and you can hear him in pain also they hated each other during this

    You should read about Corey’s state while recording this song.
    I think the IOWA name is just a name to describe the album as a whole and the song title is the climax that starts with People=Shit, Disasterpieces, Left Behind, Skin Ticket, New Abortion all the song titles have serial killer vibes.

    This is such a banger. Really creates a vivid, disturbing picture. Fun fact, there's parts in this song that are played in reverse, which is corey screaming "Don't look at me". Also I'm sure others have already explained, but corey was in a real bad spot during the production of this version of the song, I'll leave it at that
