Bother

Stone Sours “Bother” is an incredible poem that explains the depressed state of Stone Sour’s lead singer Corey Taylor. He explains what being misunderstood and disappointment is like as he puts blame on what is wrong with his life. Some people are blessed with being born into wealth and endless opportunities, while other is not so lucky with fortune. In the First verse, second line he is feed up with his religious creator “Stones to throw at my creator”- Blaming a religious a religious figure for what he has become but instead of giving up on life he hold on to what he made of this life. It sounds like he angry at god but does not get a response from him. He's searching for himself through faith, and the reason he's having trouble finding himself is because he's having trouble with his faith. Everyone in life was born with choices, choices to succeed, and choice’s to live the live that we chose as a pathway to eventually achieve satiety. I don’t know what problems he faced that led him to cry out to his savior, of the reasons of his self-afflicted beatings. There is no sense of trust, no definition of love, he is searching in all directions for a sign to help him through. Corey Taylor sounded like a person who trusted many people but was blind to what there intentions were. People take advantage of the weak and innocent and this world can be so sour at times. It’s so painful to be the one to try to fix things that have went wrong. He states that when you’re beaten on by life’s unjust, repeatedly it is almost

Just as painful to realize that you have to let go. Corey states that he “Never had a voice to protest” but in this world you have to prove so much. Even if you want to do you own thing people will try and walk all over you. Until they realize how much pain you hold inside, how much you’ve been there, and how sick of these things you are, they will keep pushing those buttons that just burn you up. He describes how “a zombie hides my face”, covering his true inner self. I just want to say, no matter what, find a way to voice your opinion. Even if you just want to keep to yourself, don’t hide what you want. At the end of the poem he repeats “You don’t need to bother, I won’t let go till it bleed.” Sounds like a desperate promise that even though he might have hit rock bottom in his life and has given up trying to ask his savior for help, he states he will be fine ultimately becoming a better person.
