Slipknot - Before I Forget (Lyrics)

Go!
Stapled shut, inside an outside world and I'm
Sealed in tight, bizarre but right at home
Claustrophobic, closing in and I'm
Catastrophic, not again
I'm smeared across the page, and doused in gasoline
I wear you like a stain, yet I'm the one who's obscene
Catch me up on all your sordid little insurrections,
I've got no time to lose, and I'm just caught up in all the cattle
Fray the strings
Throw the shapes
Hold your breath
Listen!
I am a world before I am a man
I was a creature before I could stand
I will remember before I forget
BEFORE I FORGET THAT!
I'm ripped across the ditch, and settled in the dirt and I'm
I wear you like a stitch, yet I'm the one who's hurt
Pay attention to your twisted little indiscretions
I've got no right to win, I'm just caught up all the battles
Locked in clutch
Pushed in place
Hold your breath
Listen!
I am a world before I am a man
I was a creature before I could stand
I will remember before I forget
BEFORE I FORGET THAT!
I am a world before I am a man
I was a creature before I could stand
I will remember before I forget
BEFORE I FORGET THAT!
My end
It justifies my means
All I ever do is delay
My every attempt to evade
The end of the road and my end
It justifies my means
All I ever do is delay
My every attempt to evade
THE END OF THE ROAD!
I am a world before I am a man
I was a creature before I could stand
I will remember before I forget
BEFORE I FORGET THAT!
I am a world before I am a man
I was a creature before I could stand
I will remember before I forget
BEFORE I FORGET THAT!
I am a world before I am a man
I was a creature before I could stand
I will remember before I forget
BEFORE I FORGET THAT!
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, OH!

heavy song has a positive lyrics about choosing to be a good person even tho the world isn't

[@jimmyseit934]

And then there’s just pop stars singing about money, the unfunny adult activities, and how their genitals taste.

[@NationalistAF]

love this part.
My end
It justifies my means
All I ever do is delay
My every attempt to evade
The end of the road and my end
It justifies my means
All I ever do is delay
My every attempt to evade
THE END OF THE ROAD!

[@adamghost1140]

I think it could also have say " my end it just defiles my means"

[@harioschtroliki]

@@adamghost1140 That makes absolutely no sense

[@tox1kescape3197]

I like it to

[@fefefeda94]

@@adamghost1140 it's a common saying " ends justify means" so I don't think so but it's okay to have an opinion

[@reddish1865]

It justifies my memes

[@jasonfarler97]

The perception of this song is to always do positive even with all the resistance that could exist,chase the goodness and you will find it, but be sly.

I have to keep looking this song up before I forget the title. Or else I can only find it from a couple of the lyrics.

[@wockyslush669]

Dun dun duh duh dun dun duh duh...GO!

[@prayingmantis3129]

I always hoped that I misheard the lyrics and he "wolf" instead of "world". When I found out, it was pretty much the only time I've been disappointed in a slipknot song. Still kicks ass though.
