Don't Get Close Lyrics
Come On!
Somebody give me some light
And not punch it in the dark
Somebody show me the end
And I try to push to start
I'm trying to figure out
A better way, a better answer
But I keep finding all the problems
I've been looking after
You can't wander through the world
With nothing but a smile
I'll take your tongue for words
And use it to instill denial
Don't get close!
You don't know me and you'll never know
Chivalry!
Will get you somewhere
Rivalry!
Will take you there
Maybe I should look away
Before I ruin this
Maybe I should pick the time
Before I pick the place
I'm into all the things that emulate then penalize
But I don't want to go until you learn to finalize
Don't get close!
You don't know me and you'll never know
Chivalry!
Will get you somewhere
Rivalry!
Will take you there
You ascertain the plot
My vision's all but shot
I have the best confession
Always scarred for all the lessons
For the quaints and the same time used
Stay out and be infused
I didn't want to be
The undeniable souls of envy
Don't get close! [Better stay away!]
Don't get close! [Better stay away!]
Don't get close! [Better stay away!]
Don't get close! [Better stay away!]
I see what's in all the conflicts
Constrict just to fit in, squeeze in,
I can insist, closed fist
Remember?!
Remember?!
You take the breath of life
It never made much sense
I have the worst possession
What I won't put soul in session
Old man and be abused
Because this is so confused
I only want to be
Left alone and rot away
Don't get close! [Better stay away!]
Don't get close! [Better stay away!]
Don't get close! [Better stay away!]
Don't get close! [Better stay away!]
And not punch it in the dark
Somebody show me the end
And I try to push to start
A better way, a better answer
But I keep finding all the problems
I've been looking after
With nothing but a smile
I'll take your tongue for words
And use it to instill denial
You don't know me and you'll never know
Chivalry!
Will get you somewhere
Rivalry!
Will take you there
Before I ruin this
Maybe I should pick the time
Before I pick the place
But I don't want to go until you learn to finalize
You don't know me and you'll never know
Chivalry!
Will get you somewhere
Rivalry!
Will take you there
My vision's all but shot
I have the best confession
Always scarred for all the lessons
For the quaints and the same time used
Stay out and be infused
I didn't want to be
The undeniable souls of envy
Don't get close! [Better stay away!]
Don't get close! [Better stay away!]
Don't get close! [Better stay away!]
Constrict just to fit in, squeeze in,
I can insist, closed fist
Remember?!
Remember?!
It never made much sense
I have the worst possession
What I won't put soul in session
Because this is so confused
I only want to be
Left alone and rot away
Don't get close! [Better stay away!]
Don't get close! [Better stay away!]
Don't get close! [Better stay away!]

What's wrong with this song?
God, what is wrong with you people...this is a relatively good song with quite the hidden meaning...All you morons think Slipknot and picture little poser kids....but Slipknot is relatively good....So stop acting like self-righteous pricks and pretending that you know what this entire world should be like...

Speaking as an avid Slipknot fan, I didn't think it was up to their normal standard. It's listenable, but just not ear-grabbing stuff. And let's stop with the dumbass "true Maggots love everything by Slipknot" shit, because the term "Maggot" is getting a little old now, and even I'll admit some of KnoT's older stuff is complete turd - 45% of the IOWA album was, and so is the song Pulse of the Maggots from Vol 3. But that's just my opinion. If you've got your own, then bully for you!
This is a cool song, it keeps loooooosers away when you sing it really loud, then nobody bothers you, so to all you haters, sing louder, so that we all can hear you.
baseball bats keep the rhythm really well
meh i thought it was ok
You were wrong, Theinskater.
"you'll be a memory" are you a maggot or faggot?
i listened to this through crappy computer speakers and the openin riff sounds real farty. i should reserve judgement for when i got a proper copy i suppose.
ahh your constant muttering disturbs me ...this song was greaat ..I'd rather stick to the meaning than your tastes...if you want taste,.,..try pop ....Slipknot is hard merciless raw metal not for new age punks like you ...now why dont you just step out of your ridiculous pathetic suggestions..you make my stomach hury .. and one thing dude...SIC MAGGOTS NEVER DIE NOR DO THEY AGE..you losers make me so sick I feel like nailing you to the wall ...and gashing the life off your wrists ( what a wild imagination) ...any way ...unlike you morons I'll give meaning to the site....I think this is all about feeling so out of control that the only place you can resort to is yourself...more like a cocoon because when you are hurt you are so vulnerable to pain so you kinda like snap at anyone who trys to play nice ..trying to get to you for their selfish intents ..then thats were the "DONT GET CLOSE " comes.. As for the punk losers who kinda made my day complete ..Dont get close to this place again..when you dish out slipknot ..you dish out sic maggots .and you dont want yourself caught in their way ..heed to my warning ..Slipknot is all about meaning and less tastes for you ..anyway thats what corey always says..we dont care about your tastes ..that was what the heretic anthem was all about although I do not believe that cultish elements where neccessary ..but you get the point ...go to your poppish ways and leave slipknot out of your foul-tasted ways..now if you wanna pick on something you dont know about ...dissing out this song at will....before you face me ..SLIT YOUR WRISTS AND DIE ,,,and I'll watch you WAIT AND BLEED
