| Stone Sour – Say You'll Haunt Me Lyrics | 10 years ago |
| I've been listening to this song solidly for a few days, well over 50 times in 2 days. such a great song, it more or less describes how I feel about my girlfriend. The tone of the song though is not of a typical love song, its more aggressive, showing that the love is passionate and powerful, in the forefront of his emotion, perpetual in his mind and nothing can remove it or distract him. | |

| Slipknot – Vermilion, Pt. 2 Lyrics | 10 years ago |
|
I think its about an actual woman, who Corey wants to be in a relationship with, but he can't be for some reason. He fantasizes about being with her so much the dream started to feel almost real, so when he says "She isn't real" he means the version of her in his fantasy. "I can't make her real" refers to how its not possible to make the dream reality. Also from listening to the "Vermillion"it seems as if the attraction was sudden ("I don't know what drew my attention, Fixed and crazy aphid attraction"). When you compare this to the line "My love is just a camouflage for what resembles rage again" from Snuff (I know they were written at separate times in his life, this is just something I noticed), it suggests that something majorly impacted his life, and he didn't face it so his mind created fouls emotions for someone. Parts also show that he knows this has happened and is ashamed of it: "Stretched across my shame." When he thinks of her he feels ashamed of the way he fault. He felt week for not dealing with whatever happened in his life directly. "I catch in my throat Choke Torn into pieces I won't, no I don't want to be this" This suggests that he was "torn to pieces" by the event in his life. It destroyed him, threw him in to depression. "I don't want to be this" suggests he's identified this and wants to stop loving the one he loves. Bare in mind this is the second part of "Vermillion." The first part is basically about how he feels about "she" and the confusion created by the suddenness of the powerful emotions he felt for her. This part is about him realizing why he suddenly fell for her and wanting to get over her. I don't know what the event in question could be, I haven't done much research in to Corey's life. I know at the time he had an alcohol problem. If any one has any ideas I'd like to know. |
