Slipknot – Snuff Lyrics 14 years ago
I think this song is about the other person cheating, and I dont think he is the bad person I think she is...

Bury all your secrets in my skin
Come away with innocence, and leave me with my sins
*She's confessing her infidelities and she feels relived to get it off her chest, but now hes the one left to deal with what has happened.
The air around me still feels like a cage
And love is just a camouflage for what resembles rage again
*He feels like he needs to contain his anger (the cage) because he loves her so much

So if you love me, let me go
And run away before I know
My heart is just too dark to care
I can't destroy what isn't there.
Deliver me into my fate
If I'm alone I cannot hate
*he's so angry with her and filled with rage he wants her to leave now before he loses control because if she stays his hate will consume the both of them
I don't deserve to have you
My smile was taken long ago
If I can change I hope I never know
*I think he's being sarcastic with (I don't deserve to have you) I think in the relationship she has done things in the past and he gave her another chance which is why he says (my smile was taken long ago) and with all the wrong doing she's done to him he doesn't want it to change the person he is which is why he says (if I can change I hope I never know)

I still press your letters to my lips
And cherish them in parts of me that savor every kiss
I couldn't face a life without your light
But all of that was ripped apart when you refused to fight
*he still loves and misses her very much because he didnt want to live without her but now he's forced to because she (refused to fight) temptation and cheated on him.

So save your breath, I will not hear
I think I made it very clear
You couldn't hate enough to love
Is that supposed to be enough?
*hes saying stop with all your excuses dont explain sh*t you dont know what love is, you dont have enough passion and emotion in you to know what its like to love so deeply
I only wish you weren't my friend
Then I could hurt you in the end
*self explanatory
I never claimed to be a saint
My own was banished long ago
It took the death of hope to let you go
*he messed up in the past also but again he was forced to let her go because he just cant get over this

So break yourself against my stones
And spit your pity in my soul
You never needed any help
You sold me out to save yourself
*he's angry while he's listen to her saying how sorry she is but he feels she sold his feelings and their relationship out to save herself by her giving into temptation
And I won't listen to your shame
You ran away, you're all the same
Angels lie to keep control
My love was punished long ago
If you still care, don't ever let me know
*he's saying leave me alone I dont want to hear anymore of your lies that always control me to stay with you, (my love was punished long ago) the first betrayal (if you still care, don't ever let me know) hes saying hes weak to her and if she still loves him dont ever tell him because he might go back to her.

I can relate to this song at the moment although the roles are reversed I'am the woman being cheated on.
