"Push my fingers into my eyes it's the only thing that slowly stops the ache." Corey Taylor suffered chronic migraines and that's what he's referring to. So you got it pretty much spot on.
I do the same sometimes with my migraines when I can't take pain anymore. It's like in your desperation to free yourself from the pain, you get to a point that anything, even hurting yourself enough to maybe, maybe distract you from the hell you're living is worth trying.
@@nogosnoqt Much like how recovering addicts going withdrawl will cut themselves. The pain forces your body to release dopamine and adrenaline which numbs some of the pain of withdrawls.
Every line is a duality Save the best for last Kill what you create Future seems like one big past Reality is better than the dream Put me back together separate tr skin from bone Leave me all the pieces... Leave me alone Left with me, left me no choice Lyricism in this song is beautifully dark
I'm loving these Metal Mondays. I'm a huge rock/metal fan. Corey Taylor is a legend with the manipulation of his voice, and he has some deep lyrics. Snuff is a powerful one to check out, preferably the live version. RIP Joey Jordison. Hope you're doing good, Knox.
Ah. Beer keg and aluminum bat. The best percussion set ever. An unforgettable and exquisite sound that can't be recreated by anything else. Simply lovely.
Super sad that I couldn't make it to the video shoot when I lived in Des Moines. At that time in my life I had some aggression to get out and that would have been perfect therapy.
If there's one thing that every person needs to see from slipknot, its the live performance of their song "spit it out" at Download 2009. one of the best
Strongly disagree. Post-AHIG is by far the bands least impressionable period. One video that shows the aggression Slipknot brought to the metal genre is People = Shit live from Chicago in 2001. The quality isn't the best but Corey has never sounded more brutal than he did.
listened to Slipknot for half my life, but sometimes you just go a while without hearing a song. Every time I hear Duality again after some time I get mad goosebumps
Corey Taylor has one of the most versatile voices! He's absolutely amazing! Especially his acoustic stuff! With that being said, you've GOTTA react to Snuff!!!
I used to sing this song to my 12yr old when he was a newborn to get him to go to sleep 😂 and it worked!! Now, I'm taking him to see them live at download in June! 😊
Holy shit bro. I'm so glad you're diving into metal. I grew up a metalhead and didn't get into rap until I was older and that is what caused me to find your channel. Your lyrical breakdowns for rap are unparalleled and I can't wait to see what you can do for metal lyrics. The lyricism of some metal bands is absolutely incredible, very open to interpretation, and often poetic sometimes. You are in for a wonderful journey if you stick to it. Can't wait to see where this takes you. Much love.
Dude you HAVE to react to Through the Glass. Corey Taylor's voice is incredible and the message of the song is so powerful. The music video is so deep. Trust me, you would love it.
Slipknot has been one of my favorite bands since their debut album in 1999. They are currently sitting in my top 3 of what I'm listening to the most for the last few years. It kinda blows my mind imagining someone having not discovered them till now since Slipknot has been in my life for so long, but you've picked a great time to jump in. They have so many great songs for you to discover.
its a good song but i wouldnt say its their best song. the albums Iowa and Slipknot are the best albums for me from slipknot. but you cant go wrong with slipknot in general.
Knox you're the man. This has been my fav band my whole life, and my parents were even at their debut performance. I'd be so grateful for you to continue down this rabbit hole. They NEVER disappoint. Every album is different. But each of them have insane lyrics and very intense energy. We need more people like you too break down the lyrics and really dissect the purpose of each song and appreciate it properly. But one thing remains persistent with them, they will ALWAYS sound better live!
You need to do Spit It Out. Corey is straight spitting BARS in that one. I would love to see you do the one from Download fest but that might be hard to keep up with the lyrics so you can do a lyric video one. I would love to see how close you get to what the song is actually about.
YES YES YES!!!!! Was just about to write the same thing. And yes it absolutely has to be the live vid from Download Fest!!! (I could have been at that gig but had to work - gutted!)
@@Mun1t i was at the download festival in question, was amazing. i agree though they up the tempo on live performances for the hype, i got faith knox can catch the lyrics though
Metal Mondays are the best & Slipknot is definitely one of my favorite bands. Corey Taylor’s vocal range and lyrics are just so good. I recommend their song Snuff ❤
Bro you did it again! One minute into the video and you already got the song. I love seeing Hip-hop guys expose themselves to metal. The lyricism is just as deep and meaningful. I swear more hip-hop fans would love metal if they didn't let the heaviness scare them off.
I just absolutely love it when people discover the beauty in heavy and harsh music, in the rock and metal genres. It's makes me very happy to see videos like this, as someone who used to and still gets shit for listening to "screaming and shouting, which isn't proper music". Kudos to you
this is possibly one of the greatest slipknot songs ever created, the softness combined with the lyrics are absolutely insane. never fails to get me singing. Not to mention from one of the best albums ever crafted.
@Parsnipidippius Yes, WE did, but KH might not have known, as he's new to Slipknot and metal, in general. Vermillion Pt 2 is super stripped back and his vocals and harmonies on that song are angelic. 🤌🏻
@Montyyy b As a singer, it's my favorite Slipknot song. I love all types of music, even as far as some deathcore shit, classical, and everywhere in between, but that song speaks to me on a totally different level. Just beautiful. 🖤
First of all, I want to say, rap and metal are my two favourite genres and I always get a lot of shit cause I'm "not a real goth if you like rap" so this new segment is golden cause it shows the same deep lyricism in so many different genres 🖤 Your breakdowns are just something else 👌🏻
Its funny but when you think about so many alternative metal bands incorporate rap on their songs Korn incubus rage linking park ...and so many more Its funny how they overlap
I was NOT expecting to hear this already on here. Corey is just amazing. Hope you get some Stone Sour in here, which is Corey's other band. Gone Sovereign/Absolute Zero are must watches, as well as Bother and Through The Glass.
This is completely awesome. It was bands like Marilyn Manson, trapt, Korn, slipknot that allowed me to explore larger amount of music. Grew up with country music. Would love to see you explore country music and blues. Keep up the great work.
You should watch their live performances… they go so damn hard it’s intense. I’ve been in the pit for them live and as a small 30 something year old at the time I thought I might not make it out. The fans are so incredible that bigger guys actually protected me and I didn’t even know them!
Really appreciated your interpretation of this song and think you hit a lot on the head. Slipknot is incredible and love seeing others vibing and giving them the chance!
I am enjoying catching up on your metal Mondays. I’m a metal dude and a lot of these songs have been in my library since before a digital library was even a thing. It’s fun to watch you digest this for the first time. Renews my love for the music.
Just wanna say thank you guys for recommending starter metal to him. It happens way too often where people get excited and want to just force the heavy stuff down people's throats when they aren't used to it and it turns them off from listening to any type of metal. I'm glad to see he is enjoying this
Enjoying the Metal Mondays, man. So happy to see it become a mainstay on the channel, and I'm here for it! Looking forward to see you delve deeper into this genre.
My personal favorite Slipknot songs are Psychosocial and Sulfur. Highly recommend. However Corey Taylor (the vocalist) has other projects you should check out: a band called Stone Sour (my personal favorite song being Absolute Zero) and some solo stuff (CMFT Must Be Stopped is something that is right up your alley 👀)
I personally am a huge metalhead I don't really listen to anything other than rock or metal, so it's cool to see what other type of people think of the songs I listen to daily. I noticed that we have similar AND different views on the songs. It's cool to see your reaction to this and I like that other people who aren't as into it as me also feel that same feeling when they listen to it. I love music.
I am in love with the way you breakdown music and I really appreciate how much you really want to know what the true meaning and depth of any music is.
I've seen Slipknot, Stone Sour and Corey Taylor on his own. Let me just say he is so versatile and one of the best lyricists. He is an all around genius in music! I'm almost 47 and I get down with metal daily! Those who don't, really have no idea what they are missing! I go old school and I recommend some Soulfly, Slayer and bring it newer to Shinedown. 😀 Glad I found your channel!
I am actually enjoying your break down something that I hear in this as I was a younger person and had to break down myself. But it's really cool to see someone younger than me actually going into the abyss and try to figure out what the point was in the 1st place. Absolutely fire I hope these Mondays continue and maybe even double and triple up. I'm 60 ,and my journey goes back into the 1960s and before. I'm blessed to have experienced hundreds of different music examples in my life so far. Your facial expressions are priceless.
Your interpretation of the lyrics is absolutely brilliant. I've always thought it was exactly what you first said, that he can't stand to look at the world, but with "it's made of all the things I have to take," it makes so much more sense that it's about stress, anxiety, and life in general. I think even the "you cannot kill what you did not create" line plays well into this: you can't stop the "ache" because you are not the source of it, life is. No matter how hard you try, there's nothing you, as an individual, can do to stop it. Love these videos, great job man.
Man Knox, you really can break down lyrics on another level. Corey Taylor has spoken about how he suffers chronic migraines etc. You nailed that shit on the dot, with such little context, crazy as always bro.
I've been a metal fan since 1980 and fan of hip hop dating back to Master P, Biggie and Tupac. I just want to say that's the coolest break down of a metal song i've ever heard ...nice job!
gotta say, that's the first time ive ever seen someone actually grasp that he was talking about his migraines with that first line, everybody's usually just freaking out about the imagery of fingers in eyes.
You ought to check out Ne Obliviscaris - And Plague Flowers The Kaleidoscope (Live in Colorado 2016). Six of the most incredible musicians you'll ever lay eyes on. Clean singing, harsh vocals, a violin, insane drummer, bassist, two guitar players. Magic made into sound.
Love duality. Snuff (live) , vermilion pt 2, eyeless, and psychosocial are also great slipknot songs for diversity of sound for a new listener. Corey Taylor is amazing.
I'm so glad you see how powerful lyrics and a crushing beat and the skill it takes to do as many beat changes and how it directly relates to you and what you do. I can't wait to see the effect Metal Mondays has on your future tracks.
We need a snuff reaction. i enjoy the live performance Corey did its such a powerful song that always makes me shed a tear (maybe a few truthfully) either way great video. slipknot is such an amazing band and i think just this song can show you how they have such a strong fanbase
I definitely second this. As amazing as their band is musically it is hard to understand the energy this band creates by adding their visual stage performance. I was just at Aftershock and got to see them and the energy these guys created in the crowd was insane!
@@nicknelson3260 I have never been able to see them live, I am a 24/7 caregiver for my adult disabled son. I do appreciate when people upload live videos from the bands. I can imagine how awesome they are live.
Knox I love metal mondays, and as a big metal fan, please react to Parkway Drive. They're not a really famous group but their music is INSANELY good. I personally recommend The Greatest Fear or Dark Days, but there are many many other good songs. Hope you'll give them a try, keep up the amazing work king!
It would be cool if you reacted to indestructible by disturbed. I think it is a very motivating track with some cool heavy guitars and some great drums
Havent watched in a few years. Glad to see you are opening up to the depth of what rock and metal offers. People write it off as angry screaming. Its so much more.
The thing I love about metal is the depth to the lyrics, the music and vocals usually expresses the emotions of the song. A lot of the lyrics are written in a way that different people will find a different meaning for the same song. For me duality is chaos and order. The insanity is the fact that what some see as chaos is seen as order by others and vice versa. Emotions and thought are the prime example for my chaos and order theory.
You did amazing breaking this down. You can tell your intellect with emotions and knowledgeable for others. I love watching people react to songs i know. It brings them back to life for me. This was cool. You gained a new follower :)
Thanks for Metal Mondays, I love your reactions & I love metal, so I’m very over the moon for Mondays now (never thought Mondays would be something to look forward to)! Metal is a release and an escape for a lot of people. I hope you fall in love with metal and maybe one day incorporate it with rapping in one of your tracks that would be unbelievably awesome! 🤘
What i enjoy about these sort of metal react videos is you can tell when someone is a music lover who can appreciate every sort of genre wether they like it or not and the ones who sort of gravitate to a standard sort of chart music base, which in its self is acceptable as well
Wow, so first vid of yours (been a slipknot fan for about 20 years now) but ive got to say cudos. the lyric breakdown has a lot of real thought behind what you say. Good job
Metal Monday baaaaybeeee!!!!!! Thank you for checking out my all time favorite band Knox! Hope you come back to them every now and then! Can't wait for the next Metal Monday!!
I love the fact you’re venturing out into metal I would say you would absolutely love spit it out.
2 роки тому+1
It’s actually so nostalgic to listen to this song…. This must have come out 16-17 years ago when I was 14 or 15 years old. Learned to play it on guitar years ago
oh man, when I found your channel and saw the way you get really into the lyrics of a song I immediately went to check if you'd reacted to any Slipknot songs, 'cause they have amazing lyrics that people often completely miss out on you seem like the kind of guy who'd _really_ enjoy such lines as "packaging subversion, pseudo-sacrosanct perversion" or "no-one else can see the preservation of the martyr in me" (from Psychosocial)
Duality is one of the words I would give Harry Mack if I ever get the chance. :) I fell in love with Slipknot when they opened for another band I went to see. I love this song and your lyric analysis is better than anyone else's I've seen. Thank you!
Solitaire/unraveling or 12 Hundred by Mushroomhead. There's 2 singers in the band and both songs have a different line up for the vocals. First song you might appreciate as a rapper, second song is deeper in meaning and probably a more talented singer overall. No bad choice between the 2 songs

Five finger death punch songs: Wrong side of heaven, Wash it all away, I apologize, Welcome to the circus.
Definitely need to check out Lamb Of God. I'd say "Redneck" or "Laid To Rest" to start lol
Blue ( Cowboy bebop)
killing in the name rage against the machine
I Prevail, DOA [feat. Joyner Lucas] or Bow Dow.
"Push my fingers into my eyes it's the only thing that slowly stops the ache." Corey Taylor suffered chronic migraines and that's what he's referring to. So you got it pretty much spot on.
Yeah, not many reactors understand that line. I was surprised when he nailed it right away.
I do the same sometimes with my migraines when I can't take pain anymore. It's like in your desperation to free yourself from the pain, you get to a point that anything, even hurting yourself enough to maybe, maybe distract you from the hell you're living is worth trying.

Good shit. Right on point with the migraine reference. Alot of people thinks it's just metal so self harm.
Ill second snuff that some of those lyrics were my first tattoo
Every line is a duality
Save the best for last
Kill what you create
Future seems like one big past
Reality is better than the dream
Put me back together separate tr skin from bone
Leave me all the pieces... Leave me alone
Left with me, left me no choice
Lyricism in this song is beautifully dark
Never noticed this before. Damn.
Fkin hell , didn't notice it , guess its right u read or listen to more, u learn more.
I'm loving these Metal Mondays. I'm a huge rock/metal fan. Corey Taylor is a legend with the manipulation of his voice, and he has some deep lyrics. Snuff is a powerful one to check out, preferably the live version. RIP Joey Jordison. Hope you're doing good, Knox.
YES!!!! ❤
Pass on Snuff.
@윤지랑삼춘이랑 skip
RIP Paul too
Unsainted is another deep one which put Slipknot's legendary lyrics in the spotlight.
Ah. Beer keg and aluminum bat. The best percussion set ever. An unforgettable and exquisite sound that can't be recreated by anything else. Simply lovely.
And probably the best negative emotion release you can find.
Super sad that I couldn't make it to the video shoot when I lived in Des Moines. At that time in my life I had some aggression to get out and that would have been perfect therapy.

So much this, Knox. Watch this
And since you label yourself a rapper, please have the lyrics pulled up because Corey is spittin' bars!
Strongly disagree. Post-AHIG is by far the bands least impressionable period.
One video that shows the aggression Slipknot brought to the metal genre is People = Shit live from Chicago in 2001. The quality isn't the best but Corey has never sounded more brutal than he did.
YES. i loved that song so much I took the time to learn it and now I can sing it as fast as the actual song
agreed
listened to Slipknot for half my life, but sometimes you just go a while without hearing a song. Every time I hear Duality again after some time I get mad goosebumps
corey almost killed himself recording this album in that haunted mansion.
Corey Taylor has one of the most versatile voices! He's absolutely amazing! Especially his acoustic stuff! With that being said, you've GOTTA react to Snuff!!!
yes
And a liars funeral, circle, and vermilion 2
yeah he's got like a 5 and a half octaves vocal range
I 2nd this
And THEN to "Through Glass" by Stone Sour. Just for the complete contrast.
Snuff!!! Please!!!!
I used to sing this song to my 12yr old when he was a newborn to get him to go to sleep 😂 and it worked!! Now, I'm taking him to see them live at download in June! 😊
It is a great song..but kind of a weird one to sing to your 12yr old to make him sleep...but hey if it works it works lol
@@chace911 lmao. I think it was probably fine to sing it to their newborn 12 years ago. I doubt a newborn understood the words, just sayin'. :P
Lucky boy…
@chacenfriendsgaming2976 I just sang it softly to him and he would drift right off. As a newborn, he didn't understand it 🤣
I used to sing wait and bleed to my newborn which would get her to sleep right away

Dude your insights are just hitting the head on the nail every review I’ve seen you have a gift in reading into lyricists minds
Dude you HAVE to react to Through the Glass. Corey Taylor's voice is incredible and the message of the song is so powerful. The music video is so deep. Trust me, you would love it.
Yes I agree people need to thumbs this up, Knox would love it.
yessss
He just has to know it can’t be for a metal Monday
Absolutely
my fav from stone sour is St Marie . smooth music, mellow voicenof Corey Taylor
Slipknot has been one of my favorite bands since their debut album in 1999. They are currently sitting in my top 3 of what I'm listening to the most for the last few years.

Snuff is one of the best slipknot songs and has a very emotional meaning
Not kinda Slipknot style but i also love it
its a good song but i wouldnt say its their best song. the albums Iowa and Slipknot are the best albums for me from slipknot. but you cant go wrong with slipknot in general.

Just saw these guys live a couple weeks ago, definitely one of my favorite concerts I've been to. Great musicians and great performers.

Highly recommend another song on this album. Vermillion, Part II. It shows Corey Taylor's legitimate vocal skills.

Corey Taylor is the front man for 2 groups with a different sound, a solo career, and has done acoustic solo tour, CMFT is a god
I disagree. In fact, I think... CMFT must be stopped!
Best artist of our generation. Period.
You should watch their live performances… they go so damn hard it’s intense. I’ve been in the pit for them live and as a small 30 something year old at the time I thought I might not make it out. The fans are so incredible that bigger guys actually protected me and I didn’t even know them!

We need a snuff reaction. i enjoy the live performance Corey did its such a powerful song that always makes me shed a tear (maybe a few truthfully) either way great video. slipknot is such an amazing band and i think just this song can show you how they have such a strong fanbase
Never thought I would see Knox reacting to lyrics definitely will need more metal Monday
Oh and Slipknot has 9 band members. You really have to watch one of their original videos and some live show videos to truly appreciate them.
I definitely second this. As amazing as their band is musically it is hard to understand the energy this band creates by adding their visual stage performance. I was just at Aftershock and got to see them and the energy these guys created in the crowd was insane!
@@nicknelson3260 I have never been able to see them live, I am a 24/7 caregiver for my adult disabled son. I do appreciate when people upload live videos from the bands. I can imagine how awesome they are live.
Knox, your breakdowns are next level. Make me appreciate songs I already like, even more. Thanks.
We gotta get more Slipknot reactions!
Finally Knox dives into my world of music, so exited what is to come ❤
Knox I love metal mondays, and as a big metal fan, please react to Parkway Drive. They're not a really famous group but their music is INSANELY good. I personally recommend The Greatest Fear or Dark Days, but there are many many other good songs.
Hope you'll give them a try, keep up the amazing work king!
Yooooo. First Metal Mondays reaction for me and I love it. You truly have the best breakdowns bro, no matter the genre.
Spit it Out is a great Slipknot song, 100% reccomend
I really appreciate how your starting with older slipknot, and older songs for these metal reactions
I didn't know the Trapper from Dead By Daylight started a rap career.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂
The mask you're referring to in the thumbnail was actually inspired by the David Cronenberg movie "Nightbreed".
Mate these metal Mondays are amazing there's so many great bands that you're going to love
Corey is an incredible song writer and an even better vocalist
This is what I have been waiting for! Metal Monday... good to see and hear reactions. Keep going with this
Loving metal monday's so much. Could you do A Little Piece of Heaven by Avenged Sevenfold, or any song from the same album?
knox you the goat for diving into metal. never expected it. love it man
It would be cool if you reacted to indestructible by disturbed. I think it is a very motivating track with some cool heavy guitars and some great drums
Havent watched in a few years. Glad to see you are opening up to the depth of what rock and metal offers. People write it off as angry screaming. Its so much more.
Knox this is why we love you. You came into this open minded and a great perspective thank you
The thing I love about metal is the depth to the lyrics, the music and vocals usually expresses the emotions of the song.
A lot of the lyrics are written in a way that different people will find a different meaning for the same song.
For me duality is chaos and order. The insanity is the fact that what some see as chaos is seen as order by others and vice versa.
Emotions and thought are the prime example for my chaos and order theory.
Knox, keep these coming bro. All the way from Chester,England. Big big fan of yours.
One of the best reactions to this song. This song was my entry to this band. Love them.
When it comes to metal, depths won't be an issue. You'll always get that WOW moment every time it's amazing!
Definitely should do more slipknot
You did amazing breaking this down. You can tell your intellect with emotions and knowledgeable for others. I love watching people react to songs i know. It brings them back to life for me. This was cool. You gained a new follower :)
Love that you're open to break down anything.
Dude I'm absolutely loving these Metal Mondays! Keep up the awesome work man!
Seeing the drummer lift, go sideways, upside down and turns in circles... epic show live!!
Metal Mondays are seriously my fav. Thank you.
Been listening to Slipknot for years and haven’t figured out the first lines were about migraines for ages. Knox - first listen - clocks it. Damn!
As a first time viewer of this channel I definitely like the lyrical analysis, might consider subscribing after a few more videos
Had the pleasure of watching Slipknot in Glasgow a few years ago. Loved every second of it, still gives me tingles remembering.
Thanks for Metal Mondays, I love your reactions & I love metal, so I’m very over the moon for Mondays now (never thought Mondays would be something to look forward to)! Metal is a release and an escape for a lot of people. I hope you fall in love with metal and maybe one day incorporate it with rapping in one of your tracks that would be unbelievably awesome! 🤘
What i enjoy about these sort of metal react videos is you can tell when someone is a music lover who can appreciate every sort of genre wether they like it or not and the ones who sort of gravitate to a standard sort of chart music base, which in its self is acceptable as well
Wow, so first vid of yours (been a slipknot fan for about 20 years now) but ive got to say cudos. the lyric breakdown has a lot of real thought behind what you say. Good job
The cords and riffs in this song are so amazing. Hands down to most underrated guitar work
This guy!! So lovely! I really appreciate your sincere contribution!
Slipknot is my favorite band of all time! So glad you're giving them a shot!
Metal Monday baaaaybeeee!!!!!! Thank you for checking out my all time favorite band Knox! Hope you come back to them every now and then! Can't wait for the next Metal Monday!!
I love the fact you’re venturing out into metal I would say you would absolutely love spit it out.
It’s actually so nostalgic to listen to this song…. This must have come out 16-17 years ago when I was 14 or 15 years old. Learned to play it on guitar years ago
I love those mondays! Keep it going. Wish you all the best. Greetings from Germany!
oh man, when I found your channel and saw the way you get really into the lyrics of a song I immediately went to check if you'd reacted to any Slipknot songs, 'cause they have amazing lyrics that people often completely miss out on
you seem like the kind of guy who'd _really_ enjoy such lines as "packaging subversion, pseudo-sacrosanct perversion" or "no-one else can see the preservation of the martyr in me" (from Psychosocial)
Dude I’m so exited to see you dip your toes into metal!! Rock on my man
Love the slipknot reactions should definitely do more of there songs
Great review. Love your show. The video that goes to this song is even better
Duality is one of the words I would give Harry Mack if I ever get the chance. :) I fell in love with Slipknot when they opened for another band I went to see. I love this song and your lyric analysis is better than anyone else's I've seen. Thank you!
Solitaire/unraveling or 12 Hundred by Mushroomhead. There's 2 singers in the band and both songs have a different line up for the vocals. First song you might appreciate as a rapper, second song is deeper in meaning and probably a more talented singer overall. No bad choice between the 2 songs
