@@lilsleepy1469 the reason it was taken off of the original album is because the man who wrote this story and presented it as a news article in the way it was told, sued slip knot for copyright infringement. there was no girl named Purity Knight. it was a work of fiction. but Corey didn't know that when he wrote the song.
This has got to be my favourite Slipknot song. Everything from the creepy intro, to the explosive opening, to the melodic verses, the drums, the lyrics and the epic chorus
Iowa (song) and Scissors are by far more darkest and scariest than Purity, for me Purity is a beutiful song, thanks to Corey's voice in some parts and the lyrics.
After almost 25 years of hearing this song an endless amount of times and even seeing it preformed live 3 times, I'm still in awe of how good it is. It gives me chills everytime. A true masterpiece in the art of metal. RIP Joey RIP Paul RIP Slipknot
i find it insane how nobody appreciates how ape shit and skilled that scratching Sid does in the beginning of purity. Its a lot more than moving a record back and forth. DJing (scratching in particular) is a very hard skill. And the scratching he does here is absolutely APE SHIT CRAZY. insane DJ
I remember hearing this years ago on their live album. Shame they took it off the self titled from all that legal crap. Underrated for sure, you can hear Paul and Joey ripping on this track R.I.P Slipknot was the white rabbit for me, took me down the metal rabbit hole and inspired me to play and write. Sweet jesus that was in 2006...🤯
Not sure it anyone relates to this song in the way I do. But when I had panic attacks as a teenager I would always listen to this for catharsis and peace. Because the lyrics and screaming represented what a panic attack feels like.
I feel that there are two versions of me. The me that wakes up in the morning, filthy, angry, and ugly. Then there is the me I find hanging in my closet that I put on to face the world with a smile.
We all have two sides, one that we show to those we see everyday and the side only we know about, in many ppls case they are driven insane and develop multiple versions and are unable to control them all so they are within a plethora of different versions of their own self, eventually causing depression anxiety paranoia or anger, and with all hidden inside it’s normal for the person to start beating themselves up,
I was listening to this thinking it was about 2 sides. For 13 years they've been at war in me and something happened bringing back to that time and I shut it out. My mind has never been so clear.
[Verse 1] Maze, psychopathic daze, I create this waste Back away from tangents, on the verge of drastic ways Can't escape this place, I deny your face Sweat gets in my eyes, I think I'm slowly dying Put me in a homemade cellar Put me in a hole for shelter Someone hear me please, all I see is hate I can hardly breathe and I can hardly take it [Pre-Chorus] Hands on my face overbearing I can't get out Hands on my face overbearing I can't [Verse 2] Lost, run at my own cost, hearing laughter, scoffed Learning from the rush, detached from such and such Bleak, all around me, weak listening, incomplete I am not a dog, but I'm the one you're dogging I am in a buried kennel I have never felt so final Someone find me please, losing all reserve I'm fucking gone, I think I'm fucking dying [Pre-Chorus] Hands on my face overbearing I can't get out Hands on my face overbearing I can't [Chorus] You all stare, but you'll never see There's something inside me You all stare, but you'll never see There's something inside me You all stare, but you'll never see There's something inside me You all stare, but you'll never see There's something in you I despise [Bridge] Cut me, show me, enter I am willing and able and never any danger to myself Knowledge in my pain, knowledge in my pain Or was my tolerance a phase?

*I was coming back on a long dark train ride listening to this beautiful piece.. amazing & perfect song, Cory touches & heals me with his genuine passion & indescribable pain & rage which I also live with everyday, I've been in a really dark place lately and if it had not been for bands like Slipknot I would have probably murdered all the toxic people around me or killed myself already.*
I can appreciate a good rock musician but i really have to give praise to those who can incorporate instruments in rock and metal which aren't normally known for that genre... like apocalyptica with their cellos or in this case with sid's scratching. in my opinion the scratching is like the icing on the cake for this song.
+DiegokuDesigns Yeah. He kicked me out of heaven, so I tempted his creation to eat this fruit that He told them not to eat and kind of indirectly caused everything bad that ever has happened to happen.
Gone gone without a trace ..... She's never coming back. You know what it's like to live with that. No one knows what it's like The only one who knew me gone. I know what you want and I can give it to you. Tired and hungry. I'm so tired. Have you ever seen God ?
@@itsprettystabby6331 Both Frail Limb Nursery and Purity were in the original copies of the album. Then due to said lawsuit, they were both replaced with Me Inside. And then just Purity (no Frail Limb Nursery, but still with Me Inside) was added back to the 10th anniversary. Hopefully they eventually do release Tattered and Torn, Frail Limb Nursery and Purity onto the same album in that order as they are supposed to lead into each other.
This is based on a true story about a woman who was abducted by a man and his wife. She was tortured, degraded, and confined during the day in a small box no bigger than a coffin for 6 years. The woman became conditioned with "Stockholm Syndrome." This condition sometimes occurs when a person finally gives themselves willing to their captor and believes they are in love with them, or at least understands and accepts their captivity without resistance.
I just bought a gram of shatter, now I'm sitting on my kitchen counter dabbing and listening to this. and typing this message.thats exactly what I'm doing. enjoy life.bai
I don't really like Slipknot, but I despise the concept of purity. It's a concept created by elites trying to make sure nobody got to their standards (Wich they don't respect anyways)

Gone....gone without a trace...

It's a fictional case.

the first minute with sids scratching is pure sex in my ears.

Thats the thing that made me love this song so fucking much. The chorus.

After almost 25 years of hearing this song an endless amount of times and even seeing it preformed live 3 times, I'm still in awe of how good it is. It gives me chills everytime.
A true masterpiece in the art of metal.

Whatever you say, this song's intro is creepier than (515).
Screaming and crying over the loss of a family member. Yeah, they just let sid go nuts recorded it and let him mix it up when he let it all out
costin andrei facts
After hearing the backstory behind 515, it doesn't make it disturbing for me anymore
@@crazyhawk1254 I dont think it was reversed :)

I love when his voice sounds starved and deprived
And why exactly?
I’m listening to this during a storm. I love it even more.
[Verse 1]
Maze, psychopathic daze, I create this waste
Back away from tangents, on the verge of drastic ways
Can't escape this place, I deny your face
Sweat gets in my eyes, I think I'm slowly dying
Put me in a homemade cellar
Put me in a hole for shelter
Someone hear me please, all I see is hate
I can hardly breathe and I can hardly take it
[Pre-Chorus]
Hands on my face overbearing I can't get out
Hands on my face overbearing I can't
[Verse 2]
Lost, run at my own cost, hearing laughter, scoffed
Learning from the rush, detached from such and such
Bleak, all around me, weak listening, incomplete
I am not a dog, but I'm the one you're dogging
I am in a buried kennel
I have never felt so final
Someone find me please, losing all reserve
I'm fucking gone, I think I'm fucking dying
[Pre-Chorus]
Hands on my face overbearing I can't get out
Hands on my face overbearing I can't
[Chorus]
You all stare, but you'll never see
There's something inside me
You all stare, but you'll never see
There's something inside me
You all stare, but you'll never see
There's something inside me
You all stare, but you'll never see
There's something in you I despise
[Bridge]
Cut me, show me, enter
I am willing and able and never any danger to myself
Knowledge in my pain, knowledge in my pain
Or was my tolerance a phase?
Empathy, out of my way
I can't die
I can't die
I can't die
I can't die
[Chorus]
You all stare, but you'll never see
There's something inside me
You all stare, but you'll never see
There's something inside me
You all stare, but you'll never see

You all stare, but you'll never see
There's something in you I despise

It's so uncomfortable to listen to this song. But this makes me love it.
The most underrated Slipknot's song
So they're saying they despise purity?? I love metal but Slipknots songs are just something else.
Incase you don't know, you can read the meaning in slipknot-metal.com. They also dedicated this song to a maggot who died in a car crash in 2000
I don't really like Slipknot, but I despise the concept of purity.
It's a concept created by elites trying to make sure nobody got to their standards (Wich they don't respect anyways)
Calidum Carnem
That's not true the title was inspired by the Purity Knight story which was 100% fake by the way the rest was inspired by other horror films.
I think the girl is saying she despises the sense of purity that onlookers seem to have, while they all stare at her. I think it references the sense of shame a person can have after something awful happens to them, such as rape, and when people hear about it, they look at you differently, and tend to avoid you like YOU did something wrong. She says they will never see the purity (innocence) inside her because of what happened, but they probably see themselves as being pure, and she hates that (and rightfully so).
It's about the history of Purity Knight, a girl that was kidnapped, and buried alive.
It's a fake, but interesting history.
By far my favourite song by them...
this is a badass version to this song
This song is so depressing😥
I wrote a really fucked up story because of this song. Thank you Slipknot, for helping me become a better horror writer!
