this song is my anguish anthem My mom died this past June due to breast cancer and other health complications. Today is actually her birthday at the time of writing this comment . She would have been 47. When she was in hospice and getting closer to passing away I was in an incredibly dark place emotionally and was close to committing suicide. I remember playing this song a lot on my drums and would always scream, pull my hair, and do other self destructive things by the end of the song each time I played it. “Keep myself alive through your empathy” are lyrics that will forever haunt me till the day I die. Thank you slipknot. Edit: thank you so much for all the support! For those wondering how I’ve been. I’m doing ok. Been two years since she passed. There’s definitely still times where i do still think about her but for the most part I’m in a lot better place than I was. Thank you so much for all the kind words. Slipknots music brings us all together no matter what we’re going through. Long live the knot.
Murderp damn :/ stay strong buddy ! But yea Slipknot does something to you, and their lyrics are deep! Been a Slipknot since 2001-2002 when I first heard em.
LYRICS Zero and zero is nothing but zero Cancer and people conspire together Running and running and going forever Collected and sampled, starving for zero Come see my cage, built in my grain Come see my cage, built in my grain Come see my cage, built in my grain Come see my cage, built in my grain Minus the inside and minus the circle Inhabit the riddle and fill in the hovel Wherein and herein, between us and near us Zero and zero is nothing but zero Come see my cage, built in my grain Come see my cage, built in my grain Come see my cage, built in my grain Come see my cage, built in my grain Keeping myself alive Through your empathy Keeping myself alive Through your empathy Keeping myself alive Through your empathy Keeping myself alive Through your empathy
This song is really something else. Ambiental, full of rage, insanity, psychodelic, brutal and it completely cought what Slipknot is, to the core. Might be my all time favourite
6:10 that breathing guitar gives me chills every time I hear it. It compliments the lyrics "keeping myself alive" and then comes in this eerie, breathing guitar...FUCK
Does anyone know how jim makes the breathing guitar sounds? Ive been trying to replicate and do some research but cant find out how to do it. all the guitar covers just skip over that part too.
@@Orosander so we dont really know how he does it for sure? :( ive asked around and there doesnt seem to be any recordings or anything but maybe one day!
@@MissingOrchid Yeah, it can also be sid who has put some sort of effect on the sliding guitars to make them sound more like "radio static" if u know what i mean.
A year after my girlfriend's death, I felt so broken, because part of me left with her soul. I just felt empty and alone. But this song actually let me get my rage and emotions out vocally. Keeping myself alive hits me very hard. Thank you Slipknot. You guys have helped me get through my darkest times. I felt so much better after my gf's death.
@@HaydenSansing I nearl lost my fiancée to a coma, felt like my whole world was falling apart. I understand how it must feel and I’m proud of you for still staying among us.
personally, i think that this song is the best song that slipknot ever recorded, is just their esence multiplied million dimentions.. darkness, deeper, ridiculous brutal, dead and sick lyrics, literally inhuman vocals, skin ticket is a horror movie made extreme music, every time i heard this track specially when im high i start to feel extremely oerwhelmed and insane, like if i was a patient of a deserted mental hospital, i mean, just smoke a full joint alone in the house, wait to 12 in the night and play skin ticket with full volume, you will change and you will never listen and see anything like before
I'm not one to relate to youtube comments, especially to ones talking about smoking weed, but I definitely feel the same way. Had a good solo sesh once and forgot I had this on my Spotify queue from earlier in the day and felt like I was listening to some sort of ritual summoning, especially at the 4:40 mark with those terrifying fucking drums. Honestly a surreal experience.
I think the whole album is the best music Slipknot ever did, I remember when I listened to the álbum for rje first time in 2001, I was 14 years old, it changed my life. Since Iowa the first thing I like from slipknot is wanyk, It's good, but it's not as good as Iowa
@@christiandunn5824 generally Corey (and maybe the band), feeling like they only know the pain from living in such poverty and dealing with trauma from living in the shittier parts of Iowa, so many of the lines are depressive and relate towards feeling tied down to other people and the source of their pain ironically
I remember when I was younger thinking the lyrics were 'Come see my Cage, built in my Grave. Come see my Cage, built in my Graveyard'. This song brings back so much nostalgia.
Lyrics Here Zero and zero is nothing but zero Cancer and people conspire together Running and running and going forever Collected and sampled, starving for zero Come see my cage - built in my grain Minus the inside and minus the circle Inhabit the riddle and fill in the hovel Wherein and herein, between us and near us Zero and zero is nothing but zero Come see my cage - built-in migraine Keeping myself alive... through your EMPATHY
Zero and zero is nothing but zero Cancer and people conspire together Running and running and going forever Collected and sampled, starving for zero Come see my cage - built in my grain Minus the inside and minus the circle Inhabit the riddle and fill in the hovel Wherein and herein, between us and near us Zero and zero is nothing but zero Come see my cage - built-in migraine Keeping myself alive... through your EMPATHY
I love the structure of this song. They build up an atmosphere with all these layers, transition to a heavy-as-balls riff, and then it drops down to just Corey whispering over a snare drum and what sounds like a sample of a thunderclap, before building back up. It's like being tortured with a breather inbetween the bouts of abuse, in a good way
Song Meaning: "In my opinion, the whole song is about Coreys life living in Iowa. Zero and zero nothing but zero means Iowa= the middle of nowhere. Running and running going on forever means there is nowhere to go, and he cant get out. When he says starving for zero, I think he means that he is STRIVING for nothing, and he wants something, and feeling, but there is nowhere to get it. When he says come see my cage built in my grain, I think he means the obvious... I am stuck here, and I have nowhere to go. But when he says come see my cage -built in migraine, I think he means See me, my cage, my creation. It makes him ache and hurt. He cant think. He has lost his mental picture of himself. This place he needs to escape. He needs life, and he needs to feel, but he cant. He cant see the world through his eyes, because he is stuck in his cage. His home. And when he says keeping myself alive through your EMPATHY, I think he means that WE are keeping him alive by our understanding of his lyrics, and his life and feelings. I think this song and all the others were meant to be figured out by us. He wants us to understand him. He needs someone to understand him, because no one ever did. He is counting on us. He needs us. If there are people out there that understand what he is trying to say, I believe he escaped his cage."
Been living in Iowa for 24 years and used to live on the south side where Corey grew up in the 80's, its trashy. Iowa is slow and dull (similar like middle of nowhere), not enough activities you can do there but going to mall, movie theaters, out to eat, hanging with friends and thats it, nothing more. if you want pursue something BIG in your life you gonna have to have some money to get out of Iowa bcus you wont make it too far.
In my opinion its the darkest song on Iowa. The intro visualises the rest of the song... Its utter depression, true darkness both mentally and physically, basically the lowest point where a man can get...
we got my plague live again after 12 years we got metabolic live for the first time we got i am hated live for the first time now give us skin ticket again,and this time we need video footage as there isn't any floating around from 2005
Slipknot - Skin Ticket Zero and zero is nothing but zero Cancer and people conspire together Running and running and going forever Collected and sampled, starving for zero Come see my cage built in my grave [4x] Minus the inside and minus the circle Inhabit the riddle and fill in the hovel Wherein and herein, between us and near us Zero and zero is nothing but zero Come see my cage built in my grave [4x] Keeping myself alive through your empathy [4x] Let me go! Keeping myself alive through your empathy [4x] Leave me alone! Keeping myself alive [repeat 'til the end]
I don't know why but this song has set it's mark in my mind so when ever i listen to it, i get goosebumps all over my body and start to cry for no reason... I listened to this album a lot at a Very bad point in my life!
TheCleansingx me to when I was 12 it was my first slipknot album people used to pick on me and everything but to be honest I look at myself now and I'm better then they are I was when they were picking on me to they attacked me pushed me down stepped on me said I was a nothing but some one who shouldn't have been born I was a nothing at that school I went to that public school in high school it was different better way better I never got picked on everything was awesome I still hat those people who picked on me I still hat that stupid school but I'm a better person so I always come back to this song it's one of my favorite songs
same here bro .i always listened to this song back when i was in the lowest part of my life .the intensity of my emotions back then was so intense that i forgot what was the reason or reasons i was so badly depressed that time ,but i remember a pic of a moment in my mind that i was staring at the door of my room and that lucifer will come in and then ask me if i am ready to sell my soul to him but not just fear im feeling that time ,it was more than that .don't know what trigger that moment but listening to this song and hearing the "keeping myself alive " and "let me go" part always reminds me of my chaotic past

+Aidan Calhoun this comment wins. doesn't matter if the statements are correct.. such is art.. a piece of the artists soul the rest of us interpret and relate to
I'm gonna be honest and say that chorus literally almost made my cry a little, that doesn't happen often. It's not the lyrics, you can just feel how sad it is by the way it's sung
is there any chance to still get tickets for that show? I really want to see slipknot, especially if they are gonna play the full iowa album which is my favorite
lit rat too late for me, I have no money on my debit card and it's for sunday, gotta wake up next day and go to college, fuck everything, hope they livestream it or some shit like that, or record it like in the 2002 london dvd :v
Underrated song of each album Self titled: Me inside Iowa: Skin ticket Vol 3: Circle All hope is gone: Child of the burning time .5 the gray chapter: Override Wanyk: Birth of the cruel
I'm 35 years old. As a kid I only listened to aggressive music. Including a lot of shit. The first 3 Slipknot's albums remain among the things I still love and carry with me, with a few, of that period. They never get old like the classics. Sensational and milestone records of all music. There wasn't even any melodic singing from Corey. What a band. Love U
Some of the heaviest most insane guitar licks ever made. What a true work of art. The Shape - I am Hated - Metabolic really truly simply amazing. My favorite album. The pain of this life. Thank you Slipknot
This song saved my life. It describes my suffering of migrane more than anything else. Having migrane+panic attacks made me build my one cage build in migrane. This song helped me to get out of it and makes me cry everytime at ,,LET ME GO!". I owe this song a lot and don't know how i would have endet up without it. It touches me more and more everytime i listen to it. Thank you slipknot for helping me through so much shit!❤
This is the most darkest and heaviest Slipknot song I have ever heard, and I heard every song. You can hear anger and deep pain in Corey's voice. I am addicted. 💜
This song hits pretty hard when you’re literally stuck between life and death. The reality of having to live until I die is excruciating. Sometimes I just wanna die in my sleep…
16 years listening to this...back to my roots..... slipknot helped open doors to my ears...and hear spectacular music in this world...... thank you slipknot....maggot since 99.
The last 2 minutes of this song has gifted me so many PR's in the gym. I seach into the darkest parts of my soul and get so enraged and fueled with hate and disgust. Thank you for this masterpiece of an album Slipknot, without Iowa idk where i would be right now
There’s just something about that breakdown on 4:24 that hits different. It’s fucking disgusting. Words/feelings that come into mind when hearing it are whirlwind and unbridled hate. My favorite Slipknot song
![KSI - Dirty [Official Visualiser]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/VoDh1h1dPUE/mqdefault.jpg)
Is this what living in Iowa feels like?
It's what it makes you feel like if you're under 30 because the whole state is constantly stuck 30 years in the past.
Pretty much
Interesting fact: This is Sid's favourite Slipknot song.
I feel like it would be too
understandable
Because he is the #0 and lyrics says "zero and zero is nothing but zero"
And mine
This song is a masterpiece. No other way to put it.
the drum work is subtle and brutally technical! RIP Joey.
RIP Joey the best, on this best song
understandable
this song is my anguish anthem

Aidan Halloran Sounds interesting, but I'm already 99% sure it won't be anywhere near as great as the original is.
K Boyd Well of course it's going to sound different but slipknot have never put out a weak release so I trust whatever they do is going to be solid.

Zero and zero is nothing but zero

This was typed 3 years ago, and you answer in 2 weeks🙃

Soooo unique,creepy,sick,wonderful....rly rly good

Also
I love the structure of this song. They build up an atmosphere with all these layers, transition to a heavy-as-balls riff, and then it drops down to just Corey whispering over a snare drum and what sounds like a sample of a thunderclap, before building back up. It's like being tortured with a breather inbetween the bouts of abuse, in a good way
Skin Ticket is up there with some of the darkest and most intense songs Slipknot has ever done.
This song is one of their best. Fucking high.
23 years ago this album made history. Still one of the heaviest albums to date.
I was 15, it changed my life lol
So who cares little man
I love the darkeness of these older albums, sounds so sinister and I love that in music
But I love it to it really describes Iowa in the most Beautiful dark Fucked up Way!!!!!

"In my opinion, the whole song is about Coreys life living in Iowa. Zero and zero nothing but zero means Iowa= the middle of nowhere.

Been living in Iowa for 24 years and used to live on the south side where Corey grew up in the 80's, its trashy. Iowa is slow and dull (similar like middle of nowhere), not enough activities you can do there but going to mall, movie theaters, out to eat, hanging with friends and thats it, nothing more. if you want pursue something BIG in your life you gonna have to have some money to get out of Iowa bcus you wont make it too far.
DJ BNEL lmao. And what else is there to do anywhere else?
You can't hunt, fish, four wheel, or skateboard where you're from? STFU.
Pretty much the same from where I live
It's interesting how everyone thinks Corey is behind all the songs, Gray Chapter is the only album that he has written over 50%.
This part never fails to give me goosebumps 4:11
Corey's voice is just inhuman on this one.
This entire album was one complete banger
the chills when Corey screams "LET ME GO!" ohmahfuckingod
AMAZINGWAFFLE456 yeah I know, and also the part after that
In my opinion its the darkest song on Iowa. The intro visualises the rest of the song... Its utter depression, true darkness both mentally and physically, basically the lowest point where a man can get...
I live for the experimental Slipknot pieces where every member of the band stands out. Shawn and Chris are front and center in this one.
Slipknot's experimental stuff was always what stood out and influenced me rather than their singles.
Love how raw and bare bone Slipknot makes their songs. Especially self titled and Iowa.
more like "only" lol
Those are their best albums for me

Used to love this song when I was younger. One of the Knot's best. Such a dark, twisted song, and really well-composed.
Redthir Jerdisheim cool story. Stick to you're bullshit Bollywood songs.
Slipknot - Skin Ticket
Zero and zero is nothing but zero
Cancer and people conspire together
Running and running and going forever
Collected and sampled, starving for zero
Come see my cage built in my grave [4x]
Minus the inside and minus the circle
Inhabit the riddle and fill in the hovel
Wherein and herein, between us and near us
Zero and zero is nothing but zero
Come see my cage built in my grave [4x]
Keeping myself alive through your empathy [4x]
Let me go!
Keeping myself alive through your empathy [4x]
Leave me alone!
Keeping myself alive [repeat 'til the end]
going through this album right now and every song is popping off. my playlist gonna be growing today.
IOWA is the best album.
Not SlipKnoT's best album, but the best album ever created.
4:11 holy shit he's going HARD
My grandma sings this to me every night.
Greatest comment.
That's impressive
loving grandma
W grandma
Wow
Dam skin ticket, metabolic, and Iowa really shows Corey's emotions during the Iowa cycle
Definitely! I haven't found a band who put that much emotion in their music yet.
@@befrnigel Try Korn,it is similar.. ruclips.net/video/eMtzl9FZM8c/видео.html
@@befrnigel daddy by korn is pretty good
The essence of Slipknot, in one song
"KEEPING MYSELF ALIVE
THROUGH YOUR EMPATHY!"
This song, this album, every song on this album, is a total masterpiece
Or disasterpiece, as the band would like to term them.
...chills at 4:10-- His screams are so inhuman. Its amazing. Havent heard this track in years. Holy shit.
What about 5:56
Rest in piece Joey Jordison
Paul Gray
You will be missed.
Finally a million. This deserves a whole hell of a lot more. Some people are still starving for zero.
Knk sen türk?
I don't know why but this song has set it's mark in my mind so when ever i listen to it, i get goosebumps all over my body and start to cry for no reason... I listened to this album a lot at a Very bad point in my life!
Same here man
TheCleansingx me to when I was 12 it was my first slipknot album people used to pick on me and everything but to be honest I look at myself now and I'm better then they are I was when they were picking on me to they attacked me pushed me down stepped on me said I was a nothing but some one who shouldn't have been born I was a nothing at that school I went to that public school in high school it was different better way better I never got picked on everything was awesome I still hat those people who picked on me I still hat that stupid school but I'm a better person so I always come back to this song it's one of my favorite songs
Im not at that point but i really love this song
Felt
same here bro .i always listened to this song back when i was in the lowest part of my life .the intensity of my emotions back then was so intense that i forgot what was the reason or reasons i was so badly depressed that time ,but i remember a pic of a moment in my mind that i was staring at the door of my room and that lucifer will come in and then ask me if i am ready to sell my soul to him but not just fear im feeling that time ,it was more than that .don't know what trigger that moment but listening to this song and hearing the "keeping myself alive " and "let me go" part always reminds me of my chaotic past
slipknot is the best metal group
darks 23 same with mushroomhead
Then hanged yo profile pick gay lord the only good thing bout them is there masks
Ever
I KNOW
*one of the best metal groups
I wish I had seen Corey recording this song
A music video would be awesome
ruclips.net/video/7H2-bk3a0xA/видео.html
No you don't.
I need a friend who actually listens to this
Supposedly video of Corey singing in the studio was filmed but hasn't been released to the public. Probably for the best
This song got me to my job washing dishes on the daily. FUCK YES.
same
what is a skin ticket?
"In my opinion, the whole song is about Coreys life living in Iowa. Zero and zero nothing but zero means Iowa= the middle of nowhere. Running and running going on forever means there is nowhere to go, and he cant get out. When he says starving for zero, I think he means that he is STRIVING for nothing, and he wants something, and feeling, but there is nowhere to get it. When he says come see my cage built in my grain, I think he means the obvious... I am stuck here, and I have nowhere to go. But when he says come see my cage -built in migraine, I think he means See me, my cage, my creation. It makes him ache and hurt. He cant think. He has lost his mental picture of himself. This place he needs to escape. He needs life, and he needs to feel, but he cant. He cant see the world through his eyes, because he is stuck in his cage. His home. And when he says keeping myself alive through your EMPATHY, I think he means that WE are keeping him alive by our understanding of his lyrics, and his life and feelings. I think this song and all the others were meant to be figured out by us. He wants us to understand him. He needs someone to understand him, because no one ever did. He is counting on us. He needs us. If there are people out there that understand what he is trying to say, I believe he escaped his cage."
+Aidan Calhoun this comment wins. doesn't matter if the statements are correct.. such is art.. a piece of the artists soul the rest of us interpret and relate to
Always loved this, since 05
This has always been my favorite Slipknot song. The way his anger makes his voice tremble sounds so good.
This song gets me so emotional...thank you slipknot for such amazing music through all the years
+drumd00d damn... same, any history to share about this song in particular
1:42 this section of the song use to give me the creeps like someone is right behind me
4:11 Holy Shit
Sounds like Nirvana at their heaviest. Everyday be listening to 90s music.
Rekt Feminist Videos wtf are you doing here
Andres Mathis IKR!!

This album was a fucking bombshell.
Keeping myself alive through your lemonade
Through your empathy
lol
i can’t unhear it
Oh wait this was 6 years ago
5:42 literally gives me fucking goosebumps every time I hear it I love it so much
3:44 THAT RIFF IS PURE EVIL HOLYF!
I'm gonna be honest and say that chorus literally almost made my cry a little, that doesn't happen often. It's not the lyrics, you can just feel how sad it is by the way it's sung
anyone still listening to this beautiful gem in 2024?
Yo, justo en este momento
this song never gets old. no matter how much i listen i never get bored.
Masterpiece
So ridiculously fucking awesome, and it's being played live again at Knotfest San Bernardino!!!
is there any chance to still get tickets for that show? I really want to see slipknot, especially if they are gonna play the full iowa album which is my favorite
fucking love this song
Yea you can still get them better hurry though
lit rat too late for me, I have no money on my debit card and it's for sunday, gotta wake up next day and go to college, fuck everything, hope they livestream it or some shit like that, or record it like in the 2002 london dvd :v
Sorry about that
If you are watching this in 2022, you are a legend!!
Can't imagine a world without Slipknot!
Underrated song of each album
Self titled: Me inside
Iowa: Skin ticket
Vol 3: Circle
All hope is gone: Child of the burning time
.5 the gray chapter: Override
Wanyk: Birth of the cruel
WANYK: a liar's funeral
All hope is gone has to the this cold black
@@justasnoop2309 yea i also like butcher’s hook
For over 22 years this song has hit the spot in ways that are easier left for this song to explain.
I'm 35 years old. As a kid I only listened to aggressive music. Including a lot of shit. The first 3 Slipknot's albums remain among the things I still love and carry with me, with a few, of that period. They never get old like the classics. Sensational and milestone records of all music. There wasn't even any melodic singing from Corey. What a band. Love U
Some of the heaviest most insane guitar licks ever made. What a true work of art. The Shape - I am Hated - Metabolic really truly simply amazing. My favorite album. The pain of this life. Thank you Slipknot
might be my favorite on the album, its different and atmospheric and genuinely sounds tortured and sick
This song saved my life. It describes my suffering of migrane more than anything else. Having migrane+panic attacks made me build my one cage build in migrane. This song helped me to get out of it and makes me cry everytime at ,,LET ME GO!". I owe this song a lot and don't know how i would have endet up without it. It touches me more and more everytime i listen to it. Thank you slipknot for helping me through so much shit!❤
This is the most darkest and heaviest Slipknot song I have ever heard, and I heard every song. You can hear anger and deep pain in Corey's voice. I am addicted. 💜
You can feel the anger and true power of this song. Easily in my top 5 Slipknot songs
My lord. Such a pleasure to see you.
Nobody lyrically musically and emotionally paints a picture quite like slipknot
fucking love this band!
Always been one of my favorite Slipknot songs
This song hits pretty hard when you’re literally stuck between life and death. The reality of having to live until I die is excruciating. Sometimes I just wanna die in my sleep…
Me too
Darktimes got me here, slipknot got me through!
this song makes me peel of the paint from my walls with my damn eyebrows... love it
That makes no sense at all
@@MiniMagit exactly
It's 2023 and it's still a masterpiece! It never goes out of style.
Slipknot for life
16 years listening to this...back to my roots..... slipknot helped open doors to my ears...and hear spectacular music in this world...... thank you slipknot....maggot since 99.
The last 2 minutes of this song has gifted me so many PR's in the gym. I seach into the darkest parts of my soul and get so enraged and fueled with hate and disgust. Thank you for this masterpiece of an album Slipknot, without Iowa idk where i would be right now
This is one of my many favourite Slipknot songs ever
There’s just something about that breakdown on 4:24 that hits different. It’s fucking disgusting. Words/feelings that come into mind when hearing it are whirlwind and unbridled hate. My favorite Slipknot song
No albums nor songs can ever be better than Iowa
The Gray Chapter was pretty fukn good tho
Salt nah not as good as Iowa
Abin Joe Well. Slipknot is Slipknot. there is no other band like this
1- Iowa2- Sublimial Verses
3- Self tittled
4- AHIG

Abin Joe ur opinion
This song is so underrated.
this song keeps myself alive
3:42 when they try to keep me after my shift
my favourite part of the song
0:58 Holy shit that's one hell of a breakdown.
