Snuff Lyrics

Cover art for Snuff lyrics by Slipknot

Simply put, I think it is about a girl who came into the life of someone who was very depressed and brought hope back into his life. The only problem was she didn't care need him the way he needed her. So they broke up, sending him back into depression with the only thing keeping him going over they edge being the idea that she never really cared about him. The idea that he lost someone that truly loved him would destroy him.

I think the title is metaphor for the death of hope. One of the definitions of snuff is the charred portion of a candlewick, or in other words is a burned out candle, the flame of a candle representing hope in this case.

My Interpretation

Just sth to think about: Snuff is a word to discribe a video in which a person dies.

"It took the death of hope to let you go" has 2 meanings: It took the death of hope | to let you go and It took the death | of hope to let you go

Thats why i think the name is chosen because it shows the twilight of this situation, either death, or hopeless life.

wow,, i think you absolutely hit the nail on the head !! nice job

Story of my life ehh my love's.. but I'm not gonna leave him. Keep pushing such people forward with love, because for every fucking thing is a reason.
