I have something to add: Slipknot traditionally swaps masks with new ones for every album. In this case, the people who are "self-harming" in the video are their "old" themselves with the old masks, while the ones actually playing the song are the "present" themselves with a new style for the new album. Btw fire reaction, love from Italy!
Excellent interpretation! Because they end their mourning for Paul Gray after such a long time and start again. To do this, they have to leave the old behind. Symbolising the past and their former identities, they destroy the old masks.
@@uwekraemer0808 I watched the behind the scenes documentary for this particular song when it came out and Sean Crean said that was his vision for the song. They are destroying their old selves so the new "them" can emerge.
Great interpreation, you can also see that their old and new selfs are wearing different overalls. i might not remember this correct, but the way they die in the clip has also something to do with their own fears. one of them is afraid of dogs and another of birds.
Slipknot switch masks between every appearance. You may not notice some small details, but it's more rare to see the same mask for more than a few appearances. A lot have only ever been seen once.
@@46993-r mask is the same, details slightly change. Only exception I can think about is late Gray Chapter, during which Corey completely changed mask, even if the theme of the mask was more or less the same
I love the symbolism of “killing off” past versions of yourself with this video. Kinda sums up where I was at psychologically for much of 2023 getting through attachment trauma and a couple nasty breakups. This was also the first song I learned on guitar so it has a special place in my heart
"You should have burned when you turned on everyone" are lyrics that I think all of us can relate to about someone who fucked us over bad! Just one reason wjy I've seen them 7 times and they're my favorite band of all time hands down.
People who just hear the volume think metal is just anger and hate, but it's so much deeper than that. So many social, political, and emotional messages in the songs. It's one of the only forms of modern music that directly addresses things, instead of just being vapid consumerism.
Your reaction was fantastic. It is so relieving to occasionally watch someone actually listen to the lyrics and try and get the meaning behind them, whether it's the artists intended meaning or one you pull from them for yourself. More importantly, my faith in humanity refuses to die, as much as I'd like it to, because of the minority of people in the world like yourself you actually give a damn about other people. If only there were a lot more like you. Thank you for this.
@patmullen7597. That was spot on !!! Exactly what I was thinking. @Heartsupport. Thank you so very much for these videos and the work it takes to edit and make them. Thank you. You are making a difference
Hey! @@HeartSupport I know I'm like 4 weeks late but, you should react to songs like "In my darkest hour" - Megadeth, "suicide note pt. 1 and 2" - Pantera, and "Fade to black" - Metallica, "Kill yourself" - S.O.D stormtroopers of death, I feel like you would lole them.
As a recent divorcee I lean on music and can find 736 songs for my 736 feelings I have each day. Smiling depression is a real thing as you said, “as we’re too afraid to let anyone see it because it makes us look bad” hits deep
From djstarion: I'm the exact same way. Sometimes it's hard to put on that facade because you don't want people to know how you're feeling and it can get mentally exhausting. But music is always that escape that can resonate with you in every way possible.
From Daisy1985: Thank you for sharing I was depressed for couples of years i started young on my teens at the time i didn't understand why i was so sad in the inside but happy at the outside. I came to a realization after losing my grandfather i was only 9 years old but really hit at 14. It was manage being young i was able to do things life. In 2016 that when my dark side came into place i lost 2 people in my life i couldnt bare of breathing or living, i always had to be pretend of course I didnt wanted anyone to know I was depressed, i usually distant myself from everyone that how I handle and also other process I had to work mentally. Have a happy new year May god bless you health and happiness. Love Daisy
From Lisalovesfeathers: Hi Friend, it truly saddens me that anyone still has to be concerned about how they look to others when you feel depressed and I am sorry that you feel the need to smile your way through when it is the last thing you probably feel like doing. Divorce is hard, its bloody hard and you are entitled to all the emotions and feelings that go with it, of course everyone wants you to be ok but the reality is that it hurts and I hope that you know that being here at heartsupport there is no pretence, no judgement, you will be heard and supported. I am pleased that music helps you through too, I found a couple of albums that helped me during a break up a number of years ago... songs I would cry through, now make me smile when I hear them. Feel free to keep in touch with us. Much Love Lisa. x
From Micro: I can wholeheartedly relate to what you shared about music and smiling depression. Somehow, even when you know that it's okay to reach out and safe to share how you feel, there can still be many barriers within that prevent you to do it. All of these thoughts made of self-guilt and blame that drive you to hide behind a mask, to keep up appearances as possible, because it's awfully intimidating to feel seen - not as you want to be, but as you truly are. There's something about hiding your very own vulnerability that feels safer, even though it costs so much energy and feels so vey isolating at the same time. I'm sorry you've been struggling with this inner division lately between how you feel within and what others get to see. It is amazing that you are mentioning it here though, and somehow opening that door towards how you feel, towards YOU. You absolutely deserve to have the possibility to be yourself unapologetically, to say "I need support" without any sense of guilt or shame. At the end of the day, we're all human beings trying to figure out how to navigate through this crazy thing called life. It's okay to not to be okay, and it's okay to say it. Not everyone will hear it or understand your experiences accurately, but there are people out there - and out here - who understand the depth of your struggles and will never judge you for going through a rough time. You matter, friend.
for me i just don't want to burden others with my problems. everyone has enough of their own it's just best to keep our problems off of shoulders that have no reason to carry them
You should definitely watch the making of this music video. You'll definitely see some more interesting things about each member of the band on a psychological level.
That is the best explanation of the song I've ever heard, and the explanation I've been looking for. I've love the song since it came out and it helped calm my war demons. But hearing you talk about it put it into light. Thank you.
The haunted house vibe is fitting, especially with grief being so insidious, lurking in the shadows of our minds. The mutilation is indicative of how deeply it cuts to the very fibre of our being, sometimes resulting in suicidal ideation or actions. I have experienced this first hand during an especially severe depressive episode brought on by psychological and emotional abuse from my parent. This song just helps me vent when I am going through my trauma responses. Corey Taylor has been through so much pain (some self-inflicted) and that is why Slipknot is so relevant to me
From Micro: Thank you for sharing your personal take on this, especially in light of your own story and on how it has been for you to work on these traumatic experiences. Trauma healing is such a long, exhausting road to walk on. The amount of self-awareness and understanding that you convey in your comment here are really such a strong expression of how many steps you've been taking on this very path towards processing what happened to you. I know it may seem at first like "just" commenting on a music video and relating with personal experiences, but I wanted first to really acknowledge and emphasize the work you've been doing to get to the point of naming your traumas and talking about it like here. From someone who's been on a similar journey, I know how lonely that can be, and how life consuming it is especially on darkest days to face the reality of having known repeated abuse and utmost fear as a child. The way you depict grief especially resonates so very much with me, because that's the word that has been sticking the most to my own skin when it comes to processing early childhood trauma. The grief of all what could (or even should) have been, the grief of the illusion of a family that we were holding on to for the sake of survival, the grief of all the opportunities missed because of the anxiety/depression/trauma responses that followed for years and years... the grief of a life that could have been so very different, and the impression of having lost a massive amount of time to nothing but tears. It definitely feels like a waste, but a heavy, overly-present waste - not the kind that leaves you empty. It's interesting to see it now through this haunted house depicted in the video, especially when it feels like this image could be embodied litterally/physically with the home I grew up in. Over time, the haunted house becomes this lingering shadow that you know so very well and keeps hurting you, sometimes silently, sometimes more loudly, but surely takes on your energy and hope little by little. It's a dark, uneasing place as much as traumatic memories and emotional flashbacks are. It's this damaging place that seems to stick no matter what, one full of shame and hatred... but also one that feels comforting at times. Because it's a place where at least you get to choose your pain, not to suffer one that is inflicted by others, and even less by people who *should* have been trustworthy. It's the reversal of control from being taken away your safety and dignity, to becoming the very own agent of your suffering and regain, at least, some sense of ownership. For me the haunting house is definitely this place I am pushed back into, forcefully some days, but also a place that I feel deeply connected with at other times, as if I can almost feel safe in. It's a strange paradox when what's unhealthy is what feels familiar, therefore "safe" in a kind of inadequate way. Although it's life-saving to know now where the line is, and when to draw it, so you don't end up eaten alive by this urge towards self-destruction either. It's present, but it leaves room to *feel* things from the heart, and to *know* with the mind what is fair or not - and self-inflicted pain, on top of what has already been endured, is not something that one would ever deserve to know. You survived through it all, and you are here today using your voice like a new power. I know it usually feels like being strong isn't something wanted when it comes to trauma healing, but rest assured that the strength you've developped and shared through your journey are YOURS. The fruit of your willingness, of your heart, of this unique voice that you now get to share, not within the haunted house, but in a house that you own and have been building from your own sweat, tears, and the recognition of your worth. You are standing still, and that may be the most beautiful way to chase the ghosts away. Hold fast, friend.
i just gotta say this is my favorite reaction to them of all time usually people dont understand and are disturbed but you were head bangin from the start love it
This song saved my life. The way I interpreted it was I embraced and leaned to much on my inner devil. It wasn't what I perceived it to be. This song was for me my turning point for the better in my life. I was down a very dark path in my head. I was in the middle of my divorce and this song changed and saved my life.
I just found your channel and i love this! I use music to help express my thoughts and feelings. Because music usually uses metaphors, it helps me explain how how i feel, because using metaphors is easier than being practical, IMO. Because feelings are usually not cut and dry, sometimes they're more complex than that and music and art in general helps explain it. Especially, with artists like Slipknot, who are very creative and visual in how they write their lyrics.
I feel like if you actually listened to the lyrics and tried to analyze it instead of talking over it, it would be much more interesting video than just you talking about the title of the song.
I feel like if you searched for other reactors who broke down lyrics more you’d enjoy that instead of criticizing someone who shows their genuine initial reaction and gives great insight. Stop hating
@@jordanncyr Its more constructive criticism than hating but you are free to feel offended if you want to. If you gonna talk about a song like you understand its meaning you might as well try to actually listen to the lyrics otherwise it just comes off disingenuous.
When you face the scary, it loses its power, when you face the pain you bring it into the light you realize like its just a Halloween demon wearing costume and mask its nothing that can actually hurt you, in the way that it can when you don't face. 🎉 6:26
I love your videos. How you tear the song down to what the lyrics are meaning. And love your facial expressions when the music hits hard. It's great. I'm 50 been listening to slipknot since Iowa. And been to all their concerts in my area. Corey has got me thru some hard times. You rock and slipknot rocks.
This was my daughter’s favorite song on the album when it came out in 2014 when she was 4. Including Custer. You have to remember this song and album was after Paul Grey died.. hence the albums name.
"You should have burned, when you turned on everyone." Corey Taylor, the singer and principle lyricist for Slipknot is an absolute otherworldly lyricist. I worked at an infamous rock club in Detroit from 1998-2003 and got to spend a lot of time with Corey and he's an absolute smart as hell guy, he's witty and fast as hl with jokes, comebacks, etc. He also has the Guinness world record for the widest vocal range. A large percentage of hard rock and metal fans are adamant that Corey also has the undisputed best scream by far, out of all singers, past and present. His scream is also insanely difficult for even seasoned professional singers and even vocal coaches to mimic.The only other personal I know of who has an almost demonic scream and could hold his own on Broadway is Aaron Lewis. I saw him in North Carolina 2 months ago and he was showing me a bunch of new guitars he has and he sadly started smoking again! I can talk, because I also smoke and it's always affected my singing now my stamina goin up my damn steps, I can get wnded......time to quit boys & girls!
First off I love how into the music you get. I also hear what you are saying. It might be useful to know, the song is about how the band were not getting on and how they were feeling at the time
Awsome analysis. Glad you were open and could see the deeper meaning. A lot of other people would just cringe at the video, but it has deeper meaning. Facing your devils is not comfortable.
This is exactly describing my aha moment during therapy, I was around 40 and I had no idea what was the cause for - lets call it - my weirdness sometimes. Once we dug it up and discovered it, I was able to recognize it and understand the mechanism and by doing so the issue was controllable, not to say gone forever. The mind is a complicated beast.
I just came across your page and I listened to two of your analyzations and I’m hooked please continue. You’re answering so many things about myself that I never knew. @heartsupport
0:26 and just like that she feel down the rabbet hole of metal and she was never seen again her friends and family watches in terror her coworkers sits back and watches at the metal head community exsepts a (as the grate words of thour said) "ANOTHER!"
Hi. I really liked your reaction and detailed commentary on this song. I see it as accepting your shadow (the shadow archetype), which Jung wrote about. It turned out that it is not scary, but on the contrary, you become whole and a huge amount of internal resources opens up. I really love the work of Slipknot. It is a spotlight that shines inside and highlights our feelings. Each of us, because we are all people and we all experience feelings. And thank you for telling us about this.
First time watching your reaction and I'd have to say I loved it and I appreciate what you had to say and I agree 😊 awesome song loved your reaction Thank you 😊 Kevin Colorado
yes I struggle yes I have a devil in me pulling me down but I am not your devil not your nameless faceless scapegoat enemy I am a human a flawed human but still a human worthy of respect I just want the world to see that even when I can't see it myself!
Step inside could also be asking others to see things from his perspective see that there's a devil in him but that that doesn't make him a devil as in his struggles don't have to define him as a person or how he deserves to be treated by others
I took this song as Corey saying that if you don't like the monster you see, it is what you made. You turned me into my devil. You re the creator. And what the ever monster does, it was the world ( them ) that made him that way.
I like your outlook on the song. Haven't listened to Slipknot forever. Thanks for reigniting my curiosity in the lyrics. People should listen past the music and listen (read) what's in between the Bass and Treble. Chords and Rhythm Entrance and WORDS inspire.
Great reaction to the video and totally digging the vibe of the song and as someone who has certain issues music helps me stay calm and changes the way I feel if I'm having an off day also I try to stay informed about mental health issues
This video was an Introduction to the 2 new members (Jay and V Man) In the wheel chairs. The rest of the band was maming their statement on Its time for us to Become a New "9" thus them sabotaging themselves/dyiing and Evolving. OLD masks out New ones in. They specifically didn't show the Bassist and Drummer until the last break.
Great reaction! And to add a like food for thought, the “deaths” depicted in the video are actually each band members’ worst fear of how they will die. Also the one member they were all seen stabbing was the late Paul Grey (bassist) for slipknot and each feel they contributed in his death, hence the scene
The band members picked how they're old selves got to die, and they are personal fears of each. Chris (with the big nose) is terrified of birds so he picked being killed by birds, same with Craig being scared of being attacked by dogs. Sid makes his living with his hands and fingers on the dj gear so losing those would be the end of who he is to himself. There's a lot behind pretty much any slipknot song and video that's so worth looking into
The guys father walked out on his mom when she was pregnant with him. He grew up with addiction and poverty. That line "Should have burned when you turned on everyone" You dont experience that kind of shit and come out without the kind of anger that allows you to be a monster. Vets experience the same thing once we see the shiny wrapper of civilization taken away and you figure out what people are really capable of. You never look at people the same way ever again
I agree with the top commenter. Actually listen to the lyrics and watch the visual story unfold. You are basically just reacting to the title of the song.
This song(and unsainted) spoke to me so much around when we lost my mum(both before and after) and I started to realise how much of an impact and role she played in my 15+years of suicidal depression and trauma prior and when I came out to my friend of 20+ years about how I was, it turned out that she had been able to see the negative effect my mum had been having on me for years and the same when I came out to my psychologist about it so it didn’t really come as a surprise to either of them… both could also see how different and less down I was after... funnily enough, both were also people that my mum had wanted me to stop seeing and/or break contact with several times over the years and I can definitely see why now😂. Glad I didn’t, that’s for sure! Both songs(along with a few others) can also be very helpful to listen to when I’m having constant memories and flashbacks(both visual and emotional) in relation to the above topic… so annoying so it’s good to have something that helps bring a bit of comfort and relief 😌
Some of those other songs include “dead memories”, “Nero forte”, “heirloom”, “before I forget”, “spit it out” and “my plague” by Slipknot and “unstoppable” by disturbed.
I just found you. Feel saved , you made me go deep into my self and listen again to music that supported me so much. I really like how you enjoy and express yourself dancing and enjoy the music as well. This is some of the best stuff I’ve seen a long time on UA-cam. Keep it up ❤
I want to see her participate in a mosh pit, as boy are THOSE therapeutic! (also, because it would be rather hilarious to watch a therapist body check someone ☺️)
“Shred shred shred!” You are my favorite reaction to watch now. And your interpretation is marvelous. And things I felt growing up. Slipknots was gruesome and dark. But their lyrics are what got me through. And still do.
Laughing at the fact he was headbanging hard every time it got very gory and she did not see the goriest parts. Cracking me up. Love that she really felt in deep and really though about it.
Fun fact, The meaning behind this video is depicting every member of slipknots fears, Sid’s 0 was pretty interesting when he chewed his fingers off for he fears losing his talent to mix on the decks, also all the members stabbing the 2 new comers to the band, I thought that was very powerful.
A therapist that listens and headbangs to slipknot is my kind of therapist 😂
Yes, lol 😂
there is something there . she could be handing out CDs to her clients . fix the world !!!
You are funny

If I remember right. each way the band members " go out " is their own personal fear. I.E. Corey staring at a blank page because of writers block.
Love that you get into it. how we feel and metal is actually a medicine. Metal for me is yoga. keeps me calm.
Totally get that. I used to sleep to the Iowa album. Some of the most peaceful sleep I've ever had.
Your takes on the songs by Slipknot is so darn positive. I wish I could see you react to some of my favorites that simply can't be given a good spin.
I don't think I've ever seen someone get into the music so much as you, and it is magnificent!
Fun Fact: Each way they die is that band member's biggest fear
How'd ya find that out?

It's a strange paradox when what's unhealthy is what feels familiar, therefore "safe" in a kind of inadequate way. Although it's life-saving to know now where the line is, and when to draw it, so you don't end up eaten alive by this urge towards self-destruction either. It's present, but it leaves room to *feel* things from the heart, and to *know* with the mind what is fair or not - and self-inflicted pain, on top of what has already been endured, is not something that one would ever deserve to know.
You survived through it all, and you are here today using your voice like a new power. I know it usually feels like being strong isn't something wanted when it comes to trauma healing, but rest assured that the strength you've developped and shared through your journey are YOURS. The fruit of your willingness, of your heart, of this unique voice that you now get to share, not within the haunted house, but in a house that you own and have been building from your own sweat, tears, and the recognition of your worth. You are standing still, and that may be the most beautiful way to chase the ghosts away. Hold fast, friend.
That's definitely the reaction to have when listening to slipknot. Top notch
Lots of studies out there that indicate that people that listen to metal music are generally "happier" people than any other music
Metal is my therapy
i just gotta say this is my favorite reaction to them of all time usually people dont understand and are disturbed but you were head bangin from the start love it
This song saved my life. The way I interpreted it was I embraced and leaned to much on my inner devil. It wasn't what I perceived it to be. This song was for me my turning point for the better in my life. I was down a very dark path in my head. I was in the middle of my divorce and this song changed and saved my life.
I love the idea of you playing slipknot in your car and telling your family it's not a phase
it is the war within us, drugs, suicide, depression, pain you cold go on and on. nice reaction you get into the music
You are amazing to watch and litsen to. Your reactions are great! TY for doing this
Your transformation into a maggot (slipknot fan) is so great to watch. It happened so naturally...
I just found your channel and i love this! I use music to help express my thoughts and feelings. Because music usually uses metaphors, it helps me explain how how i feel, because using metaphors is easier than being practical, IMO. Because feelings are usually not cut and dry, sometimes they're more complex than that and music and art in general helps explain it. Especially, with artists like Slipknot, who are very creative and visual in how they write their lyrics.
She was really feeling it until Sid ate himself
Fr 😂
😂😂
I feel like if you actually listened to the lyrics and tried to analyze it instead of talking over it, it would be much more interesting video than just you talking about the title of the song.
Well said
She's missed 75% of the actual story 😂
Ageed
I feel like if you searched for other reactors who broke down lyrics more you’d enjoy that instead of criticizing someone who shows their genuine initial reaction and gives great insight. Stop hating
@@jordanncyr Its more constructive criticism than hating but you are free to feel offended if you want to. If you gonna talk about a song like you understand its meaning you might as well try to actually listen to the lyrics otherwise it just comes off disingenuous.
This song and the video pretty much shows what goes on in my head daily
When you face the scary, it loses its power, when you face the pain you bring it into the light you realize like its just a Halloween demon wearing costume and mask its nothing that can actually hurt you, in the way that it can when you don't face. 🎉 6:26
Hell yeah my kinda therapist.... my therapist listens to Slipknot too but u get into it... rock on girl 🤘
This music is very therapeutic and relaxing! Love to have a therapist play this type of music during the sessions!
I love your videos. How you tear the song down to what the lyrics are meaning. And love your facial expressions when the music hits hard. It's great. I'm 50 been listening to slipknot since Iowa. And been to all their concerts in my area. Corey has got me thru some hard times. You rock and slipknot rocks.
This was my daughter’s favorite song on the album when it came out in 2014 when she was 4. Including Custer.
You have to remember this song and album was after Paul Grey died.. hence the albums name.
It's awesome watching her jam out and still analyze the music
"You should have burned, when you turned on everyone." Corey Taylor, the singer and principle lyricist for Slipknot is an absolute otherworldly lyricist. I worked at an infamous rock club in Detroit from 1998-2003 and got to spend a lot of time with Corey and he's an absolute smart as hell guy, he's witty and fast as hl with jokes, comebacks, etc. He also has the Guinness world record for the widest vocal range. A large percentage of hard rock and metal fans are adamant that Corey also has the undisputed best scream by far, out of all singers, past and present. His scream is also insanely difficult for even seasoned professional singers and even vocal coaches to mimic.The only other personal I know of who has an almost demonic scream and could hold his own on Broadway is Aaron Lewis. I saw him in North Carolina 2 months ago and he was showing me a bunch of new guitars he has and he sadly started smoking again! I can talk, because I also smoke and it's always affected my singing now my stamina goin up my damn steps, I can get wnded......time to quit boys & girls!
love the sweater girl!! i love watching you react to these guys
"if i ever need a therapist" i would gladly choose you ❤😂
Love, Love, Love your reacts!!!! I love to watch you rock out!!! You ROCK!!!
This is the kind of therapist i would have liked to go to when i needed to. Nowadays,i just listen to metal and have fun :D
Man I loved this one! Love how you figure out for me whybi love these songs.
Its amazing how you can speak while listening....
First off I love how into the music you get. I also hear what you are saying. It might be useful to know, the song is about how the band were not getting on and how they were feeling at the time
One of my favorite songs by them so much meaning to the words
Awsome analysis. Glad you were open and could see the deeper meaning. A lot of other people would just cringe at the video, but it has deeper meaning. Facing your devils is not comfortable.
@heartsupport I really needed to hear what you had to say in this video, thank you.
Coming from friendly vibes and appreciation for you making content i love you so much you are unique ❤
A moshpit for an epic band that you fkn love is THE best therapy, and Slipknot gave me one of the best moshpit experiences I ever had
The song is about each band member facing their fears, such as Corey who is scared of explosives and others who are afraid of birds and more.
This is exactly describing my aha moment during therapy, I was around 40 and I had no idea what was the cause for - lets call it - my weirdness sometimes. Once we dug it up and discovered it, I was able to recognize it and understand the mechanism and by doing so the issue was controllable, not to say gone forever. The mind is a complicated beast.
Is it just me or is this women amazing and so dang beautiful inside and out ❤
I just came across your page and I listened to two of your analyzations and I’m hooked please continue. You’re answering so many things about myself that I never knew. @heartsupport
I’m supremely proud of you for reacting to slipknot
0:26 and just like that she feel down the rabbet hole of metal and she was never seen again her friends and family watches in terror her coworkers sits back and watches at the metal head community exsepts a (as the grate words of thour said) "ANOTHER!"
"She feel" huh?🙄
Hi. I really liked your reaction and detailed commentary on this song. I see it as accepting your shadow (the shadow archetype), which Jung wrote about. It turned out that it is not scary, but on the contrary, you become whole and a huge amount of internal resources opens up. I really love the work of Slipknot. It is a spotlight that shines inside and highlights our feelings. Each of us, because we are all people and we all experience feelings. And thank you for telling us about this.
I need to attend a concert with you. Your awesome🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽
I've heard this song hundreds of times and I always react the same way as you
I'm so unbelievably happy to have found your channel!
I'm just getting into Slipknot.
And your energy makes me happy to see.
I'm doing the same thing
You are the only therapist I would ever go see.
First time watching your reaction and I'd have to say I loved it and I appreciate what you had to say and I agree 😊 awesome song loved your reaction Thank you 😊 Kevin Colorado
One thing about this song is it was written around the time Paul Grey passed away.
yes I struggle yes I have a devil in me pulling me down but I am not your devil not your nameless faceless scapegoat enemy I am a human a flawed human but still a human worthy of respect I just want the world to see that even when I can't see it myself!
Step inside could also be asking others to see things from his perspective see that there's a devil in him but that that doesn't make him a devil as in his struggles don't have to define him as a person or how he deserves to be treated by others
I did pit security for Slipknot when they visited at a summer venue near me. Was one of the wildest experiences I ever felt.
I subscribed to your channel because of this video. 🙂
So....relaxing to listen to this song. My favorite.
You're a brilliant human. Thank you.
I took this song as Corey saying that if you don't like the monster you see, it is what you made. You turned me into my devil. You re the creator. And what the ever monster does, it was the world ( them ) that made him that way.
I like your outlook on the song. Haven't listened to Slipknot forever. Thanks for reigniting my curiosity in the lyrics. People should listen past the music and listen (read) what's in between the Bass and Treble. Chords and Rhythm Entrance and WORDS inspire.
Great reaction to the video and totally digging the vibe of the song and as someone who has certain issues music helps me stay calm and changes the way I feel if I'm having an off day also I try to stay informed about mental health issues
This video was an Introduction to the 2 new members (Jay and V Man) In the wheel chairs. The rest of the band was maming their statement on Its time for us to Become a New "9" thus them sabotaging themselves/dyiing and Evolving. OLD masks out New ones in. They specifically didn't show the Bassist and Drummer until the last break.
She so damn good in analyzing this kind of songs.
@heartsupport heavy metal saved my life in high school more than once
I love how her stating this video isnt scary anymore just happened to be timed perfectly with Jim blowing himself to bits. 10/10
Devil in I was the first slipknot song I listened to, my
favourite as well
Great reaction! And to add a like food for thought, the “deaths” depicted in the video are actually each band members’ worst fear of how they will die. Also the one member they were all seen stabbing was the late Paul Grey (bassist) for slipknot and each feel they contributed in his death, hence the scene
Oh wow That's Pauls mask ? Never did realize that ... Wow that's actually Sad
I knew i liked Slipknot, I just wasn't exactly sure... Glad I found a new dope channel
This song was about their Bassist Paul Grey who passed from an overdose.
Each character expresses their fear of death. Blown up, Eaten by Crows,attacked by a dog, Burned to death .etc
The band members picked how they're old selves got to die, and they are personal fears of each. Chris (with the big nose) is terrified of birds so he picked being killed by birds, same with Craig being scared of being attacked by dogs. Sid makes his living with his hands and fingers on the dj gear so losing those would be the end of who he is to himself. There's a lot behind pretty much any slipknot song and video that's so worth looking into
I'm not sure if you know, but each way they die I'm the song is their actual fears of dying.
Amazing words and explains it so well
The guys father walked out on his mom when she was pregnant with him. He grew up with addiction and poverty. That line
"Should have burned when you turned on everyone"
You dont experience that kind of shit and come out without the kind of anger that allows you to be a monster.
Vets experience the same thing once we see the shiny wrapper of civilization taken away and you figure out what people are really capable of. You never look at people the same way ever again
I agree with the top commenter. Actually listen to the lyrics and watch the visual story unfold. You are basically just reacting to the title of the song.
The song you should listen to from Slipknot is XiX. That song hits like a HUGE freight train comming at you in 220mph.
love how she is both scared and vibing with the music
This song(and unsainted) spoke to me so much around when we lost my mum(both before and after) and I started to realise how much of an impact and role she played in my 15+years of suicidal depression and trauma prior and when I came out to my friend of 20+ years about how I was, it turned out that she had been able to see the negative effect my mum had been having on me for years and the same when I came out to my psychologist about it so it didn’t really come as a surprise to either of them… both could also see how different and less down I was after... funnily enough, both were also people that my mum had wanted me to stop seeing and/or break contact with several times over the years and I can definitely see why now😂. Glad I didn’t, that’s for sure!
Both songs(along with a few others) can also be very helpful to listen to when I’m having constant memories and flashbacks(both visual and emotional) in relation to the above topic… so annoying so it’s good to have something that helps bring a bit of comfort and relief 😌
Some of those other songs include “dead memories”, “Nero forte”, “heirloom”, “before I forget”, “spit it out” and “my plague” by Slipknot and “unstoppable” by disturbed.
Therapy with You, somehow got me in right sequence 😁
I just found you.
Feel saved , you made me go deep into my self and listen again to music that supported me so much.
I really like how you enjoy and express yourself dancing and enjoy the music as well.
This is some of the best stuff I’ve seen a long time on UA-cam. Keep it up ❤
Oh my God, I Love her. I want to take her to see Slipknot, tool, Godsmack, etc. She Gets Down like she Actually FEELS The Music !!!!
I want to see her participate in a mosh pit, as boy are THOSE therapeutic!
(also, because it would be rather hilarious to watch a therapist body check someone ☺️)
“Shred shred shred!”
You are my favorite reaction to watch now. And your interpretation is marvelous. And things I felt growing up. Slipknots was gruesome and dark. But their lyrics are what got me through. And still do.
This song is about facing your worst fears and over coming them in the most hurtful way you can image.
Your reactions are great 😂😂😂😂 I love that you react to my favorite band as well ❤️🖤
That moment when she straight up has a seizure to the breakdown welcome to metal and Slipknot!
Laughing at the fact he was headbanging hard every time it got very gory and she did not see the goriest parts. Cracking me up. Love that she really felt in deep and really though about it.
Fun fact, The meaning behind this video is depicting every member of slipknots fears, Sid’s 0 was pretty interesting when he chewed his fingers off for he fears losing his talent to mix on the decks, also all the members stabbing the 2 new comers to the band, I thought that was very powerful.
I think i need this therapists in my life... 😅
Welcome to Slipknot so it's good to see new fans
Pausing to comment would be beneficial. While you comment on a lyric, you're missing two.
I have "felt" this sing since it came out!
