Bother Lyrics
Self affliction fades
Stones to throw at my creator
Masochists to which I cater
I don't need to be
I'll keep slipping farther
But once I hold on
I won't let go 'till it bleeds
If indeed I cared at all
Never had a voice to protest
So you fed me shit to digest
My flaws are open season
For this I gave up trying
One good turn deserves my dying
I don't need to be
I'll keep slipping farther
But once I hold on
I won't let go 'till it bleeds
A zombie hides my face
Shell forgotten with it's memories
Diaries left with cryptic entries
I don't need to be
I'll keep slipping farther
But once I hold on
I won't let go 'till it bleeds
I don't need to be, yeah
I'll keep slipping farther
But once I hold on, once I hold on
I'll never live down my deceit
I still can't get over how great this song is. I almost passed out when I found out who this was by. Corey has such an amazing voice, it's such a shame he screams all the time in the band. I'm not a fan of Slipknot, but I definitely think Corey has an amazing gift and I really hope he does more solo stuff...I'd buy it in a second.
And to rockstar - Music is a way of venting all of those negative feelings and self-hatred. If his therapy is his music, who are you to say such things about him? It sounds like you're looking for your own way to release your negativity. Don't tear him down because he's found his.
fuck what??
rockstart should kill himself....cuz i totally agree with disturbed child, maybe his music doesnt help you, but i konw it helps me and her and definetly more than just us 2.....so think about what u say b4 u say sumthing stupid like that
This is an incredible powerful song in my opinion. The first time i heard it i was hooked. The seconded time i heard it i read the lyrics at the same time, its nearly broke me. I dont think i can say anything else about this song that hasnt' already been said
this is Corey Taylor from Slipknot's solo song he did for the SpiderMan soundtrack... it's acoustic and completely different than anything he's done with Slipknot. It's a great song, in my opinion.
i love this song, i know corey is usually screamin out his agaony, but melodically, he owns too
I think this is a great song with great lyrics and I really thnk the meaning is much more obscure than youd initially think, I think the songs about living in this country, and realizing that you have no say and that no one cares, and how hed rather die than live ina country where no one cares for one another.
Well, first off...if Corey did a Solo album like this I would absolutely buy it..however I dont see that happening. The song to me seemed to be a person against everything that they've been taught to respect but keeps them down. "Stones to throw at my Creator, The Masochist to which I cater" is a fairly obvious line about religion. The chorus seems to demonstrate holding on to the last things good in the speaker's life and he doesn't want interference by anyone else.
"Wish I was to dead to care/if indeed I cared at all" i think that means that he wished that he was dead to all feelings and emotions. i think this song is about relationships with others, and about being hurt by others. finding someone to blame for things gone wrong. things go well in friendships and then turn bad, and at that point all you have is memories to look back on, and when this happens over and over you just wish you were dead to feeling anything for anyone, because in the end you see yourself getting hurt.
two things that i noticed when listening to the song. . .he says "self affliction fades" not "self affliction face" AND the last word of the song is "deceit" not "disease".
