"I''am a world before I was a man..." = As a kid you think the world revolves around you, but when you grow up you realize that there is a lot more to life.
I never got that. I always thought it meant that there is so much more to me than being a man and the troubles that go with it. And that the song is a reminder to himself (us) to never lose sight of that in our struggles.
@@modifidious7171 I always thought the lyricis were "I am a worm before I am a man" and that it means that you start off small and insignificant but grow up to be a grown man lol
@@rear5118 Lol same hahaha
For me it meant that kids today are worried about the world as a whole before they are even grown up. Idk
Yup so true.😉
Whenever I feel somewhat depressed...listening to Slipknot always does the trick on providing some energy!!!
Same! Their music is perfect for switching up the energy! 🤘🏻✌🏻💙 from Texas!
There are studies that show people who listen to Metal are more mentally stable - there is something about metal that allows us to release our negative feelings when listening to the music. What you say makes sense.
seriously waking up and listening to something like pyschosocial will get you pumped for the day.
@@Ka0s i wish the mentally stable part was true 😅
It’s the masculinity in the lyrics that does it for me
You know a song is good when you get philosophical to try and understand it.
I think Lex been transformed metalhead. With her minni mouse hair and headbanging. So fun to see and you Lex sends out possitivity and energy. Brad is a hard nutt to crack. Maybe try some combichrist to loosen him up? 😁❤
Who's Your Daddy Snake Girl would be great to see
Soon she will be one of us :D and so welcomed into our fellowship!
I love her energy! This just shows that metal isn't just a headbanging energy. You can seriously just kinda dance and groove to the melody
Slipknot is touring this year. You guys 100% should go. The maggots will take care of you guys and you'll enjoy the whole experience that is Slipknot 🤘
Any news on Wednesdays replacement?
It's a cover band, not the original one anymore
OK…first, who’s Wednesday & what do you mean it’s a cover band? I spent a butt-load on tickets months ago & if it turned out to be a cover band, twenty-some-odd thousand people will witness me morphing into the world’s most ginormous METAL KAREN right before their eyes & I promise you…it will not be pretty! 😆
@@justdawnsoullessginger3536 I have no idea what qliphirot is talking about. I was talking about the late Joey Jordison who went by Wednesday 13. Corey Taylor has been touring lately, so hopefully that's a sign you're tickets aren't wasted. 🤞🤟
Guys, I'm saying that Slipknot nowadays It's a cover band of theirselves. There's no Slipknot without Paul and Joey. And the way they treated Chris is just obnoxious. Now is just Corey's plaything.
Now you NEED to watch the actual video for this song!! It's so badass!!
it was a g'damn scene when we almost knew their identities finally! little did i know i was already listening to Stone Sour
what I thought. would love a follow up reaction, now that they've digested the lyrics. probably not gonna happen but I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought it would be cool to see them watch that masterpiece.
Slipknot is the perfect balance of heavy and melodic. There will never be another band that takes that top spot for me. The good times, the bad times, the depression, the success. They've been there with me through it all and because of that I'll always be there for them. Maggots for life.
while I can't say that I am their fan. Haven't listened or followed most of their stuff. But this song is nonetheless a masterpiece. and for me personally , don't know why but it makes me emotional and makes me think a lot of things about life
I agree, but one band does it better; old In Flames.
It kinda out had that groove metal that Pantera has
The only band that can come close is bullet for my valentine
man frickin cracks me the hell up when brad is just looking focused and lex is bouncing around in delight
it's a dynamic in reactions i have never seen and it makes me laugh every time
exactly what I was just thinking!
I know it’s not everybody’s cup of tea but I certainly love some slipknot
Growing up I never thought I would be the “kind of person” to be into Slipknot, but honestly, as a 41 year old woman, they’re one of my favorite bands now and Corey Taylor can sing his freaking face off!
Did someone say tea?
Usually during Rock/Metal reactions Lex will take a moment or so to figure out a song or some lyrics. As soon as this song started, Lex was into it, and between the head moving and body swaying, did not stop moving unless Brad had to pause. So fun to watch.
My favorite part of this channel is the contrast between Brad intensely studying the lyrics trying to decipher a meaning while Lex is full closed eyes rockin becoming one with the music lol
SAME AF!!! They are the perfect reaction combo!
Her face during the entire song is why I play music. Gave me goosebumps
Nothing exemplifies the left brain right brain dynamic more than Brad reading the lyrics while Lex rocks out.
Before I Forget is one of my favourites, glad you guys enjoyed it as well! 🤘
I love you guys. I like reactions but you're just better.
Brad: Yeah chillin, smart comments
Lex: Crazy kind of girl I love.
Great duo.
I agree, I love how they contrast with each other, it just makes the videos that much better for me.
@@Pliskin2894 kinda crazy, not even a decade ago reaction vids were frowned upon, "who needs those?" was the question, now, here we are :)
@@HellBrYnger heck yea, I never thought I would find myself watching them, but assuming most reactors are honest when they say it's their first time listening to certain songs, it always puts a smile on my face when people are into those songs.
React to Slipknot - Unsainted
What I find funny is that sometimes I can't tell if Brad is rockin to the song, or if Lex is rockin so hard that she's moving Brad along with her 😂😂😂. Love the reactions and interpretations.
Not sure if y'all have checked out Stone Sour yet or not, but you should. Try "Bother". Great song and your minds will be blown when you figure out who is singing.
Corey really went off on that song. No screaming, just powerful emotion behind what he's saying.
Zzyyxx road…..
I love watching their reactions because it is allowing me to live vicariously through Lex experiencing metal again and falling in love with the genre all over again.
Lex going off is the best part of the video, I love how she continues to sing during the pauses. She a real fan
"Isn't the mission always death?" - Lex summing up every conflict in the world.
The ending is Morse code, it spells Slipknot
Any song with a heavy guitar into...Lex beams....the world becomes a jamming and greater place🤘
This is a super fun song. One of the less extreme Slipknot songs. Such a beautiful sounding track. Should be in everyones top 10-15 favorites from Slipknot.
Totally agree...it's one of my favorites if not my favorite...but usually the song has to speak to me on a personal level...which is why Before I Forget, Nero Forte, Wait & Bleed, Snuff are my favorites....and I know for some "fans" it's the "pop" sounding stuff. Melody shouldn't be discounted either...it's their sense of melody that sets them apart from other bands
Scissors and Purity are probably my top two.
Many people don't seem to like it and yeah many others are better but this is still a really solid song
That weird bit at the end was actually the start of the next song. The two tracks run together on the album
This song won a Grammy for them
The ending was actually a sample of their other song vermillion. The story goes; while they were recoding their third album a few members of the band had ghost experiences in the houdini mansion. One of them was while they were in the recoding booth the sample that you heard suddenly started playing on its own on loop. It freaked everyone out so they hit record and added it to the end of before I forget.
"I am a world before I'm a man" The individual becomes a reality when is recognized by the OTHER. It is the birth of conciousness. Before we are recognized by the OTHER, we are abstrac objests in a world ob objects. PhilosopherJean Paul Sartre would say "existence precedes essence". There is no human essence, we become into BEING as we experiment reality in this world.
Then the question is: what is the reality?
@@Shurororu porn.
@@Shurororu That's all based on individual perception and experience. No 2 people experience "reality" the same.
It's worm dude. This lyric video is wrong.
@@mysredeyes it is in fact "world"
How I interpret “the end justifies my means,all I ever do is delay, the end of the road and my end” is I’m here, I’m alive, I matter and before I die I’m gonna LIVE and delay my end for as long I can and I’m not gonna apologize for existing.
She smiles and dances, he frowns and fights constipation. He'll loosen up in time.
Hes trying to decipher the lyrics….always. She’s listening to the music.
@@91GT347 I see that. But he’s challenged into discomfort. Which is a good thing. Can’t wait until he’s liberated and free to not have to scrutinize. It’ll happen in time.
@@quinndavis I dont think it’s challenged into discomfort. It’s intentional avoidance, or intentional slow exposure. Maybe even suppressing emotions. You can even see after its over hes bouncing back and forth to the beat. While theyre discussing it. Lol I thonk he doesnt know how to feel. Which is what hes figuring out. “Angry ? Positive ? Could something so angry be positive ?” Lol Admittedly though. Slipknot is not exactly easing your way in to the metal scene. Lol
@@91GT347 yeah but he’s doing it. So kudos for him for expanding his exposure.
@@quinndavis right. I wouldn’t expect him to visually “loosen up” a lot more though. I still do little more than a slight head nod to the beat. Just not the go crazy personality type. Its always good to see people expanding their horizons. That’s what got me watching reactors. The faces when they realize its not all just noise. Priceless
This is like my fifth slipknot reaction I’ve watched of yours. Not only do I appreciate the digging into the meaning, but I can’t recall ever seeing someone smile so much listening to slipknot.
Glad we get to be part of the journey of someone getting into slipknot, and actually watching the heart and mind open up to music many disregard as “angry people” music.
3:39 "Boom, boom, boom: you're thrown into a casket". Literally had to pause for two minutes before I could stop laughing. 😂😂🤣🤣🤣
This weird ending is to conect to the next song Vermillion pt.2.
Which they should react to next …. vermillion and the blister exists
The song they finally won a Grammy for. Even though it wasn't the best song on the album. 🤔
It was the most radio friendly though.
All i gotta say is dude you're a lucky man to have such beautiful person on your side who loves metal and rock.
Definitely one of the best groups of all time.. they care a great deal about their following. Very diverse and underrated symbolism in his lyrics.. there will never be another Slipknot
I always saw this song as an affirmation toward life. The world is more than you can comprehend and you have only one shot at it.
btw, that ending was Morse Code spelling out Slipknot.
The song is a reminder to not get too big for your own head. We're all equal regardless of what society leads you to believe. “My end - it justifies my means. All I ever do is delay my every attempt to evade” - No matter how much you try to fight it, try to rise above it, at the end of the day, you’re like everyone else.
Oh and the morse code beeping at the end just spells out Slipknot.
Mushroomhead- Simple survival
Mushroomhead- solitary unraveling
I would recommend Mushroomhead, very similar vibe to Slipknot but unique in their own way. Their songs qwerty and solitaire unraveling are great
Yes yes yes and Bwomp and We Are the Truth
I'm going to be Devil's Advocate and say avoid Mush as long as possible lol. Definitely a subpar Slipknot.
Sun doesn't riiiiise at all 😎
There are some brilliant song choices there...
Bit of texas metal.
And we all know that Texas produced a few legends
Rip dime and vin
Save Us/Embrace the Ending would be great after hearing their heavier sound. Xeroxed is a go-to for that! Lol oh, and Destroy the World Around Me is a great track too.
The key here is " all I ever do is delay". We know we're going to die, so its justifiable to naturally delay "living", whatever living is to you. The song is a timeline. The bridge in the song is the moment in a person's life when they begin contemplating their existence and "the end". Anything can be justified in an individual's mind with the thought that they may be dead soon.
Seeing lex enjoying herself like that makes me smile, love to see it
Loved the reaction as usual. Lex caught that vibe!!! Slipknot is my favorite group of all time. A quick listen and you might think Coreys lyrics are shallow but I have always enjoyed diving into the message with them.
I always loved the video to before I forget..
All with no masks on. But you just get little fleeting looks..
Very cool...
Brilliant lyrics too..
This whole album was brilliant lyrically.
Vermilion parts one and two..
Epic songs...
Man I wanna rock out with Lex so much 😂 Brad you can join us for the chill out drinks afterwards 😎🍺 great reaction vid guys
The way Lex said "its the one true end" was the most depressing thing i ever heard lmao.
I'm a recent subscriber to your channel, and I've only watched your slipknot reaction videos. I'm a Huge fan of music and I listen to anything and everything. I also follow quite a few channels that do reaction videos and I must say I truly enjoy yours . Music is one thing that will always be open to interpretation regardless of what genre it is . I will leave you guys with this ,your reactions are phenomenal and Lex I'm gonna leave this one for you , congratulations on becoming a member of the Maggot family. Keep on doing what your doing and I look forward to your future reaction videos
The statement by Lex from approx. 3:27-3:52 is one of the truest facts about life we don't see enough.
Lex is officially a metalhead. Love the energy. Let's get her in the pit!
I just bought tickets to go see Slipknot in their home town this month! I'll be driving from central Texas to Iowa and camping in my truck along the way lol. Then seeing them again in late October in Austin! I really hope you guys get out to a Slipknot show on this tour!
We have you 2 people! Yin and Yang, night and dark, Balance(Bradsky)vs Chaos(Lexy), 2 peas in one pod! Exuberance v Calm, a pleasant couple that reacts to songs and touches us with witty comments and wonderful humor! Fuck, that was long-winded! Anyway, thank you guys!
I absolutely love watching how much fun Lex has. Please never stop your quirky and smiley reactions!
This was the time when like KISS, nobody knew what Slipknot looked like. It was a total mystery to Fans. The video for this tune showed them in rehearsal playing without masks but you never saw their faces.
You two are awesome. You should check out Slipknot’s “A Liar’s Funeral.”

I love watching reaction videos! But I have never quite managed to find someone who feels the same energy as Lex does, and im loving it! I'm also loving Brad's persistence to find the meaning behind the song's lyrics! I always struggle to get the right understanding of a song, so seeing Brad ask questions like he's doing is just amazing! also love the comment section because you guys are on point with your descriptions and meaning behind songs! much love to all of you!
Many have commented on the lyrics: "I am a world before I am a man..."
We are all made of the earth and stars. The matter that makes up all things are within us and so we will return into those things spiritually through the "conscience/soul" ascending and our bodies break down eventually, no matter what back into first the earth then the stars.
"I was a creature before I could stand" meaning both literally a primate into a child then a fully conscious upright walking human.
She definitely needs some Static X !!! I think every metalhead has a “Lex” inside them just rocking along
Haha, I love Lex's energy towards the music. Enjoy it girl XP
One of my favorite SlipKnot tracks..great album...this is a great track to listen to when your feeling down and out and the world's pressures are getting to you...
Watched a bunch of your reactions. Your slipknot videos got me. I hit Follow. I love slipknot mosh pits! You remember you were in it for a couple of days. Slayer too. Good luck Brad and Lex. Thanks for the entertainment.
They way she wear he natural hair is so wonderful; cute, artistic and yet simplistic.
Slipknot won a Grammy….because of this song 🤘🤘
FOR THOSE REAL TRUE FANS AND I'M TALKING TO THE OLD SKOOL REAL ONE'S HERE SINCE THE BEGINNING SINCE THE MID 9O'S THIS ORIGINAL VIDEO THE ACTUALLY MUSIC WAS THE CLOSEST WE GOT TO ACTUALLY SEE WHAT ALL 9 MEMBERS OF THE SLIPKNOT BAND ALOT LOOKED LIKE WHEN THIS VIDEO CAME OUT GREAT REACTION THANKS ✌🏼OUT
The mission is to stave off death as long as possible and live the best you can while you can. The world you experience is yours and yours alone but as man, we are only individual parts in a grander organism that exists because of all it's diverse parts. But all organisms die. The importance is to die after fulfilling your life.
I have no reference or proof BUT.
I believe that Before i forget, wait and bleed and Psycosocial are their most "mainstream" songs therefor their most well known songs outside of regular listeners.
This is the first slipknot song I heard back in hs I was hooked!!
I think you both would enjoy the video for this song. The whole band is performing without their masks.
Loving watching lex become more and more a metal head and appreciating the genius that is Corey Taylor and slipknot
Lex, love your energy. Don't hold back, just let the music free you and enjoy the moment. You're feeling it. 👍🏾🔥
Love you Lex, you feel the metal. It’s a great release when you need it. I worked in retail many years and metal was my therapy when I left work.
Slipknot is just so good at what they do. All straight talented dudes. Would love to see you listen to their song "skeptic". It's about their bassist (rip paul) and how they felt after he left us.
It's a song to remind himself that he is just a man. No matter the fame he is just a man. All he's ever been. He needs to remember this before he forgets.
Brad: “what do you think it means?”
Lex: “I don’t think we’re supposed to know yet” lol girls always just living the best life
One of my favorite past times is watching people of other backgrounds and cultures react to music I grew up on like vayne knot korn breaking Benjamin disturbed, y’all need to hit up some flaw. They were more back end of nu-metal but had some bangers
Once again, Brad sits - this time listening to Slipknot, displaying as much enthusiasm you'd show while filling out a survey on how your tire-purchasing experience was.
Yep Lexi is fire and full on metalhead and this dude is trying to nerd out LOL
Lex be dropping them gems. Brains AND beauty
Lyrics were completely re-written by Corey Taylor. The meaning of the song can be interpreted in different ways, but in an interview for Kerrang! Magazine Corey Taylor told that "It's about standing your ground and deciding to be a good person, no matter what people say". It’s ironic since he had to fight the producer Rick Rubin for the chorus of this song.
The outro at the end leads into the next song on the album. Great tune. Great album. Great reaction.
Yeah and the beeping is actually morse code spelling "Slipknot" along with Corey muttering "You're wasting it", in reverse.
Been listening to this song since I was 6, still have no clue of the meaning, but it still gets me hyped!
that sound at the end was the transition to the next song. entire album is a flow from one to the next song, endings wrapping into the beginning sounds of the next song. This album is super artsy and the music videos reflect that!
First time I seen Brad vibe to a metal song
It's fun watching Lex rocking out while Brad tries to understand it all. Let the rhythm take over! Love your videos.
the end was morse code for "Slipknot"
I’m 26 and since middle school I thought it was “I am a worm before I am a man”
The entire song changed once I learned the correct lyrics. I am glad that I misunderstood at that age because lyrical self depreciation really helped me but it’s new meaning to me later in life, helps build me up 🌎
when vol 3 came out alot of people pooped on it "slipknot went soft" vol 3 a great album and a lot of people now are really into it now a days, maybe it aged really well
I just love it when Lex gets right into it as soon as the guitars start to scream!
Suggestion : Reborn by Stone Sour.
That 1 part when he goes high. .was creature before I can stand
This song always gets me fired up. 💪🏾💪🏾🔥🔥
It means that we are a species and have to treat this planet as it belongs to every thing and no individual.
"I, was a creature before I could stand" my first thought when he says that is a maggot
1:31 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 My God !!! i'm in love with Lex !!!
lex is such a metal head YEAH!! YEAH!! YEAH!!
Left Behind NEXT. My theme song as I was a young meat cutter in High School.
I am a world before I am a man = all of us is more important than any one of us. An individual will live and die regardless. Being a part of a bigger whole is what ultimately matters.
Haha these reactions are awesome. Makes me appreciate slipknot all over again! You guys did great! Corey Taylor is an amazing song writer and one of the best vocalist of all time.
"I am a world before I am a man" defines ego death.
Remember, the pain. Remember the struggle. I am better at life then I have ever been - that much will stay true so long as you are still fighting.
I am still here.
I am a world before I am a Man. I was a creature before I could stand.
And before I am senile, I will remember that. And I'll know that no matter the end I put up a fucking good fight.
Beauty of Slipknot is the songs - while having meaning to Cory specifically or those close too him, we can derive our own meaning.
The ending was a lead up to the next song on the album. That song is amazing! I'll let you figure it out. It's worth it.
I personally think he's saying he wants to wake up, or wants us to wake up, and realize that most people are living their lives concerned about only how the world affects them and not what they can do to positively affect the world. He wants us to wake up and remember this so we can act before we get too old or too close to death and we can't change it because we're dead.
Brad always knows just where to look, and Lex always knows just how to describe whats there.
What it means is what ever you want it to mean. Read the words/don't read the words. Just love. I'm so glad you love it.
