Too static to try for you
These scars, they swallow hard
The part of the past that's hollow and dark
Too horrid to kill for you
Too sordid to die with you
Unstable as always, come down
Everything else is just dust and sound
SEPARATE (I've lost my only way)
SEPARATE (I've lost my only way)
SEE THE HAPE (Broken and thrown away)
You can't resent the fear
Somebody tell me how I got here
I'd give it all to you, come take it, it's all for you
The noise is so damn loud, but
Everything else is just dust and sound
Everything's shit - everything's been taken
Forsaken - gotta start it over cuz I'm hearing it
Backwards - DON'T make sense - DON'T feel better
Who's better? It's not that simple
You gotta figure it out before you make things difficult
It's not a word, it's a problem, the problem was easy
Draw your conclusions - solutions?
Anybody else wanna run?
Contorting, distorting - I am undone
One less propaganda nightmare fixture
Are you getting the picture?
I find this song talks about a lot of Corey's life (or anybody else's life for that matter). Sometimes your past or your present is "too tragic" to stay with what you have, so you continually break away from the pain. You "seperate" from "the shape". The shape to me is a visual representation of Corey's life, and how he continues to seperate himself from his life and his surroundings. Look at it as somebody shutting down from the world, or running away. Everytime this happens, though, he becomes more and more lost, until the shape (his life) is simply "broken and thrown away". Pretty powerful, especially at the last part of the song.
i think this song is about how fate makes you're life go a certain way and corey doesn't want that to happen by seperating himself with the way his life is currently going and tries to right the wrongs
i think this song is saying that he wont give up anything for someone or something.......but at the sae time hes saying if u have the balls then come take it from me.......i dunno i might be WAY off
Corey in this song is actually talking about how his father left him, and all the anguish he caused.
thanx for clearin that up... :) ~heather~
the shape is the guy in the halloween films' name, and the films are favourites of corey so i guess he wrote a song about it... go figure, man
I thought Michael Myers was the Halloween guy?? This song rocks tho, however not as much as Spit it Out! Rah!
his name is Michael Myers but he's known as "The Shape".
i agree with JesterX, this is all about his dad, how he cant live with him ande he tries but he cant get there....great song...slipknot rocks
brilliant song, sad to say i read somewhere (cant remember where) that subliminal verses will be their last cd together :(
