In Corey's Words, The song is about inventing someone or something which you imagine to be perfect, And you worship it/them to a point where they are real, Yet, deep down you know it isn't real. Corey explains which in the form of a girl.
@@AP.h24 How? "I won't let this build up inside of me". These types of people you mention act on their thoughts. This song is about something that you create in your mind as perfect.
@@brianmannion7097 he talks about obsession to the girl and how she is the only one that can make him happy but it also shows the wiew of a predator that's obsessed with drugs and hulcenugens when corey says: but SGE IS NOT REAL!!!
"but it also shows the wiew of a predator that's obsessed with drugs and hulcenugens when corey says: but SGE IS NOT REAL!" - Yes because its about thoughts you create in your mind... Are you this obtuse? Or do you know better than Corey?
@@brianmannion7097 it was what I got from a loudwire article that I got a few years ago and I never said its the only ony and I belive that your's is also true didn't see a comment with the same points as the loudwire site
I've always pictured a dude like hunting a girl down, stalking her then it's like when the song gets angrier it's like he loses control and kills her. Feels like that's where it's going (I watch a lot of horror movies) 😂
Stacey Watkin when he says "she's coming home forever" that's what I thought too. Like when he sees a girl, thinks she's perfect, realises she isn't, then kills her. Maybe not literally. Maybe killing the thought of her in his mind so he's not broken up by the whole deal.
I've always taken this song as a representation of unwillful infatuation. That kind of "love" that you have no control of and don't want. Like I don't know why I like them but my brain won't let me forget them. That's why he references "her" as the only thing that makes me sad, and how she is so important, but she's not real. She's in his head. And when he says she'll never leave, he means he'll never let her go. Because his mind won't let him. That's how he's a slave and a master. He wants out but his subconscious other unctrollable side won't allow it. And he's aware of the whole situation. Like an inner struggle when you want something even though know you shouldnt, but you're powerless .
To me this represents the conflict between emotion and free will, "lm a slave and l am a master" means we are bound to emotions despite our ability to choose "Carve my name in my face to recognize" means love makes us all just another drop in the ocean, unidentifiable. "Such a pheromone cult to terrorize" pheromone cult is love, "terrorizing" (controlling) his free will '"l exist through my need to self oblige" represents the struggle to fight off the construct of love -"She is something in me that I despise" she is not a person, but an image, or idea of love itself -"She isnt real, l cant make her real" l dont know corey's life, but this interpretation is more interesting to me, cause thats how l feel, or at least felt at one point, peace
damn man.. this song was so cofunsed to me since I have 16 years old and never understood and just made me sad in those times and till now I have a perfect interpretation, because its how our human nature works when we depence on others, and I think I have like more then 7 years without listen this again.
You guys are legit, I absolutely love how unlike SO MANY other music react channels, you can visibly see, the effort both of you are putting into actively and closely listening to the music, and absorbing the lyrics as deeply as possible, and the intelligent conversation that ensues is really refreshing.
This is my favorite song by them. Both parts. I know itd about a stalker. But man its their best song. So powerful. Both musically and lyrically. You feel the pain and suffering through both.
Well. I know you can form your own thoughts on what its about. But... Basically, the lyrics are basically following a stalker. Hes describing her. But its only his impression of her. But he figures out that she wasnt at all like he thought she was, what he built up her up to be. Ans at the end he realizes this, and now "She isnt real, i cant make her real." He cant make her what he thought of her.
Smithysmithin me too man (man? Lol). How do you feel about Snuff? That, plus both parts of Vermillion are what got me into Slipknot in the first place.
Elizabeth Short[a] (July 29, 1924 - January 14 or 15, 1947), known posthumously as "the Black Dahlia", was an American woman who was found murdered in the Leimert Park neighborhood of Los Angeles, California. Her case became highly publicized due to the graphic nature of the crime, which entailed her corpse having been mutilated and severed at the waist.
Nothing More - 'Jenny' and 'God Went North' tell a powerful story. Loving the break down of the songs! Its refreshing to listen to people really try to understand the art and meaning.
Since this was recorded when Corey was still an addict, I would say this song is about addiction. You are slave to it but you are also the master. You hold the power to either continue with it or stop it
According to an interview, Corey said that both songs (together) are about a stalker and his target. Part 1 is more about his obsession with a particular woman and his struggle to understand why she triggered him.
I follow many reactions channels, but as a conservative and a rock/metal fan I greatly appreciate how you two go deep into the reaction as Christians and trying to understand the songs! Your channel will do great things for the genre....... keep going!
Slipknot sounds so different because they have 3 different percussionists. They use unconventional percussion instruments , for example, many times they hit a keg with a baseball bat as part of the percussion rhythm. That is what makes their sonic signature so unique.
Yoooooooo I've been listening to this band forever and I've just realized after watching this video something particularly interesting about the singer and this song. The lyrics in this song "she is something in me that I despise", and "she isn't real, I can't make her real" are really telling (possibly) in a way when you think of the song "Snuff" that you two reviewed. If you watch the video, he is dressed in drag and HE is the woman. "It took the death of hope to let you go" is almost like saying he lost the hope in becoming this person inside himself. And the title "Snuff" is like him snuffing out this side of himself. To kill it "I won't let this build up inside of me"
Hello Sori, Hello Vin! So I've been watching quite a few reactions from you guys already and I am entertained by your explanations/thoughts about what a song could be about. You dig deep into the meaning - or at least your interpretations of it. I like that! It's the reason you are way different from other channels reacting to the same songs as you are. Depth. Please continue doing such a good job! BUT I think criticism is critical for improvement, even if the work someone does is great already. Therefor I'd like to share my criticism of what I have seen and heard so far... Your microphone... It is sadly nowhere near being good. I am not really sure how to describe what exactly is off, but it sounds very pitchy? The depth you have in your interpretations is missing within the sound quality a little. There are a few Tool videos where you comment some lyrics while the song is still playing and it is very hard to understand what either of you two actually say. Does that make sense to you? I'm not entirely sure if i explained it good enough since English is not my mother tongue... Sorry! Second thing I'd like you to know and maybe consider for upcoming videos is that I highly appreciate it when you display the lyric video onto the screen. From my perspective it is sometimes hard to understand what someone is singing - especially when there are loud instruments playing simultaneously and there is a small language barrier aswell (international audience etc.). Being able to read the lyrics at the same time helps understanding and keeping up with your comments and explanations relating to the specific lines of the lyrics. That's it. I'm done ranting! I hope you do not take it the wrong way! Keep it up and best wishes from Germany!
THANK YOU SOOO MUCH FOR THE CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM!! Our best ideas have come from people like you. We just started about 3 weeks ago and we know we don’t know what we are doing. A good mic is the first thing on our list to buy. We are going to do some research and hopefully by tomorrow we will have one purchased. Thank you for taking the time not only to watch our videos, but for caring enough about us to want to help make us better. Also thank you for the insight about lyric videos and how they relate to international listeners! Thanks again! -Sori✌🏻
insects for most part are attracted by pheromons, that's why he says "Aphid attraction/such a pheromon cult to terrorize" meaning that the attraction is so powerful you can't get out of it i assume.
a dahlia is a flower. the song gives me an obssessive love vibe so the aphid attraction is him being the green fly sucking the sap of the Dahlia flower like he loves her so much hes destroying her.
Great song choice. And a very interesting lyrics breakdown. Very thought-provoking, trying to get to the bottom of what he's talking about. It made me second guess a few lines of what I thought they meant. Outstanding work, yet again. Cheers, you two :)
Hi guys! I know im a little late but I wanted to say you have an awesome channel, this is my 2nd favoroute slipknot song, but I wanted to say that you help me understand music a lot better. You really understand music, best wishes, Caleb.
Could be wrong, but from what I've read both parts are said to be about lost or unrequited love from a possibly suicidal person's perspective. Part 1 is about the enrapturing, the buildup, the anticipation and the neurosis. But I've also heard that the song is about a women being stalked from the stalker's point of view.
I would add regarding the aphid line: aphids, as you read, suck sap from plants; in addition, ants are known "milk" aphids. From the wiki: "Some species of ants farm aphids, protecting them on the plants where they are feeding, and consuming the honeydew the aphids release from the terminations of their alimentary canals. This is a mutualistic relationship, with these dairying ants milking the aphids by stroking them with their antennae."
master can also refer to Master from "Master and Margarita" novel where Master had to sell his soul to the devil to find his love Margarita. This kind of makes sense....
Hi there ! New channel listener here(: . I just wanted to let you two know that I’ve enjoyed your Rev trilogy and how deep you both got into it, so much so that watching you both tear up at how much thought they put into those songs got me crying with y’all as well lmao :/. I had never thought of those songs to be as deep until you both gave your perspective on them and you’re right ! And I’m a hardcore a7x fan lol *facepalm*. But to be fair, I recently found faith in a creator, so that’s probably why it makes more sense compared to when I was a hardcore atheist. Sorry for the long, random comment, but I do appreciate the work you both put into these reactions. Anywho, I guess I’ll give it a shot and throw a few recommendations that (hopefully) might be soothing for your ears. Sixx:a.m - Life is beautiful Sixx:a.m - Girl with Golden Eyes Hoping you haven’t yet heard these songs ! Cheers from SoCal!
Whoa!!! That’s awesome that you found your faith!!! Me and Vin are blown away by this comment of yours! Thanks for taking the time to write to us and for sharing time with us through our videos! Grace and peace Brother 👊🏽👊🏻 -Sori🤟🏻
Aphids are sometimes protected by a colony of ants (from ladybugs, side note) due to the sap it secretes - it's somewhat the milk cow to ants. So my initial thought was that "aphid attraction" meant an instinctual attraction, or an attraction that one can't help but have.
I've always thought of this song as almost being like Hitchcock thriller. This is a killer stalking his prey. Everything he says is an insight into his madness and obsession.
Its really awesome to see peoples comments and reaction to these songs 1 and 2. I start to see this song branch out psychologicaly in ways we feel or see it. Its genuis how this song was written. Its almost as if your going to silent hill with multiple choice in psychological warfare. It could be a stocker serial killer it can be more in def. As i actually already know Cory invested is energy and build his life around the girl he possessed. In the video vermillion 1 she watches a cacoon turn into a butterfly as she was miserable. He felt alive and she felt trapped. But very interesting how you choose how you think this song results in. Vermillion 2 she looks like she got caught and killed by a serial killer, but In reality she was dead to him. Part 2 is slower, its showing more sorrow and acceptance she isnt real to him. He cant make her love him the way he loved her.
You guys gotta do one of these videos for a song called Diluted by Slipknot !! It's a song with 1000 interpretations and I truly feel anyone who has ever had something bad happen in their life will see at least 1 line worth of lyrics they can connect with. Would love to hear your thoughts on it as well.
I think it's VERY connected lol. He's written about her several times it seems, and it would be a little too obvious if he just straight up named a song Scarlett, so if we are on the right track, naming it after her in a more intelligent way is really creative.
Since you enjoyTool, I'd like to recommend another Maynard project: Puscifer. Specifically, "Grand Canyon" (official video; it is beautiful), and "Galileo". I think you will like it.
Architect Overlord you've most likely already seen it, but if not you have to check out the recording of puscifer's show at rock am ring 2016 here on youtube... it's outstanding
I don't know if this is significant to this song, but the actual pigment (vermilion) was very poisonous back in the day. Artists still used it, because it was such a vivid and beautiful shade of red. Love the reaction and breakdowns in your vids! Keep up the great work! You guys are growing fast!
This song is about a serial killer who finds his next victim, but for first time is torn between her and the killing act... So subliminal, I love Slipknot
This song is a kick in the az ! When the voice of Corey were a demolishion ball Joey Jordison was the true Master of drumms and the solo I think was composed by Mick I think so the 2 version very very cool
Both Snuff and Vermilion are totally about Scarlett, they've had a really messed up relationship. This is him battling to accept that is was over and on Snuff, wich was written a few years latter, is him already accepting that is over. If you check more Stone Sour, you will notice that he talks a lot about her on their songs.
Dahlia is a flower. When he makes the transition of making her sound as a physical person versus within him it could potentially reference being in a relationship, failed or otherwise, and that person becomes a part of you. I really have no idea what the song is really about.
Armaugh Blackwolf I always think of the black dahlia as well. And I think for me, it relates somewhat because she was considered very beautiful - oddly enough even more so after her death - many what happened to her was so tragic. In some twisted ways, I've always seen the black dahlia as a sort of metaphor for relationships in general.
for real, when this album came out he was just a puppy so it was constantly playing, the first time he heard thunder came running to my room and wouldn't calm down at all, then this some came on boom calm. ever since then it always did the trick.
Vol.3 is my favorite slipknot album by far. Corey refrained from swearing on the whole record (except for "bitched" on duality). I think it forced him to think a little more ouside the box and get more creative with his lyrics and it really shows
She is poison to him but he is obsessed by her and so can't let her go and is despairing. "I won't let this build up inside of me!" That's the despair.
You should react to Vermillion Pt. 2 for that opposite tone of Slipknot. Both versions are great on their own, but it would be awesome to see both of your thoughts on it. Almost seems like Corey had a chick on the pedestal and/or fantasized a specific female he couldn't obtain, ya know?
Paul and Joey wrote it, and Corey added to it, it's about a break up, and how you make the person seem better in your memories than they actually were. So you miss and love them but hate them at the same time.
oh would love to, I just don't wanna, you know... overwhelm you haha It's hard to suggest a first Deftones song, I love too many, but lets try "Deftones - My Own Summer" or "Deftones - Passenger" (since it features Maynard from TOOL) Also, since you guys listen to Slipknot, maybe you'll give a chance to: "Mudvayne - Death Blooms" keep up the awesome videos!!
Jennifer Stone are you just talking about Vermillion part 2? Lol it's acoustic, but it's not really a different version of the song, it's just the second half of the story.
Well Vin. I have to say she's cool! But I mostly watch you two because of you. I love the way explain things! I think the same way you do. Just don't have the words or knowledge to do so. God bless you both😇😇
My opinion of this song is its about a stalker kidnapping and murdering his obsession and keeping her body. "My Dahlia" referring to the black Dahlia murder and even though he has her she is gone and not really there so he can't make her real and is makes him sad
There's also another Slipknot Music Video you should React to Slipknot Everything Ends - HQ Lyrics Best Slipknot Track On The Album This Track EVERYTHING ENDS Has that Real Raw Energy To it just Furious Energy I Love It
Keep up this awesome channel! Love both of your insight in the songs I’ve watched you listen too. I’m a fan of System of a Down and would love to hear what you thought of their music. Any song or I could recommend one “Forest”. Thank you and I hope to see more :)
In Corey's Words, The song is about inventing someone or something which you imagine to be perfect, And you worship it/them to a point where they are real, Yet, deep down you know it isn't real. Corey explains which in the form of a girl.
That comment is right but it also explains the wiew of the predator/kidnapper/stalker and its pray
@@AP.h24 How? "I won't let this build up inside of me". These types of people you mention act on their thoughts. This song is about something that you create in your mind as perfect.

This song always makes me picture a guy in an insane asylum rocking back and fourth saying "she isn't real."
Very truereeee
Not far off from the official meaning.
I've always pictured a dude like hunting a girl down, stalking her then it's like when the song gets angrier it's like he loses control and kills her. Feels like that's where it's going (I watch a lot of horror movies) 😂
U make me think of knot slip
Stacey Watkin when he says "she's coming home forever" that's what I thought too. Like when he sees a girl, thinks she's perfect, realises she isn't, then kills her. Maybe not literally. Maybe killing the thought of her in his mind so he's not broken up by the whole deal.
I've always taken this song as a representation of unwillful infatuation. That kind of "love" that you have no control of and don't want.

He wants out but his subconscious other unctrollable side won't allow it. And he's aware of the whole situation. Like an inner struggle when you want something even though know you shouldnt, but you're powerless .
To me this represents the conflict between emotion and free will,
"lm a slave and l am a master" means we are bound to emotions despite our ability to choose
"Carve my name in my face to recognize" means love makes us all just another drop in the ocean, unidentifiable.
"Such a pheromone cult to terrorize" pheromone cult is love, "terrorizing" (controlling) his free will
'"l exist through my need to self oblige" represents the struggle to fight off the construct of love -"She is something in me that I despise" she is not a person, but an image, or idea of love itself -"She isnt real, l cant make her real"
l dont know corey's life, but this interpretation is more interesting to me, cause thats how l feel, or at least felt at one point, peace
Good breakdown !
Paul Gray wrote Vermillion, not Corey.
This is why i love this song so much
damn man.. this song was so cofunsed to me since I have 16 years old and never understood and just made me sad in those times and till now I have a perfect interpretation, because its how our human nature works when we depence on others, and I think I have like more then 7 years without listen this again.
Drug addiction, that's what it's about. Addiction in most cases is not real. It's mostly will to overcome the addiction. It is purely inside.
You guys are legit, I absolutely love how unlike SO MANY other music react channels, you can visibly see, the effort both of you are putting into actively and closely listening to the music, and absorbing the lyrics as deeply as possible, and the intelligent conversation that ensues is really refreshing.
Would love if you guys would follow this up with Vermillion pt. 2! It’s my favorite Slipknot song!
It shall be done!
Agree Pt. 2
William Thomas i like it better than this version ,
This is my favorite song by them. Both parts. I know itd about a stalker. But man its their best song. So powerful. Both musically and lyrically. You feel the pain and suffering through both.
I cant wait for you to do part 2. So beautiful.
Well. I know you can form your own thoughts on what its about. But... Basically, the lyrics are basically following a stalker. Hes describing her. But its only his impression of her.

Whoa. Thanks for this, it’ll give us context for part 2
I love how Vin describes the understanding she has of music to Sori. Love u guys!!! Keep up the good work!!!
Loved it! Another great breakdown and conversation. Look forward to Vermillion Pt. 2
Soon!
This is one of slipknots best songs. I love how dramatic it is. Dramatic earie (however you spell it ) go hand in hand
Nothing More - 'Jenny' and 'God Went North' tell a powerful story. Loving the break down of the songs! Its refreshing to listen to people really try to understand the art and meaning.
Yes we really enjoy the art! -Sori✌🏻
kuneefay second that. Two very powerfull songs
Gotta be on the list !
Prosthetics off their first album is in my opinion one of their weirder songs. Would love to see you two check out that one! Loving these videos!
Thanks man! Adding new songs everyday! -Sori✌🏻
Thats one of my favorite songs from them. haha. From my understanding it was based on that old movie The Collector.
Listen to “Purity” by Slipknot
It’s a song about obsession
Tru!
The Virus Of Life is also a great song about love and what it can do to you
Which band ?
its another slipknot song, its awesome along with the nameless
If Vermilion it's about obsession, IDK what Prosthetics it's about, (not underestimating Vermilion).
Since this was recorded when Corey was still an addict, I would say this song is about addiction. You are slave to it but you are also the master. You hold the power to either continue with it or stop it
Hmmm kind of like lamb of god with 11th hour ?
You guys are a super cute couple. Keep it up!
Thanks 😍! -Sori✌🏻
According to an interview, Corey said that both songs (together) are about a stalker and his target. Part 1 is more about his obsession with a particular woman and his struggle to understand why she triggered him.
I was waiting for The Nameless to kick in lol
Untouchable A Johnson Conpany hehe. Having vast knowledge about an album that you love makes you want that next song to kick in
Haha this happens to me all the time when I listen to albums over and over
I was waiting for The Pulse of the Maggots. Lol

A Perfect Circle - The Outsider (live at Jay Leno)
That's an awesome performance and I prefer it to the record version, so I second this suggestion.
beast of a song musicly and lyrically
master can also refer to Master from "Master and Margarita" novel where Master had to sell his soul to the devil to find his love Margarita. This kind of makes sense....
to some extent this talked about a stalker stalking his prey? And the part two is actually putting in work
The Dahlia could be a reference to The Black Dahlia. A young actress murdered in the 40's..
Would love to see a reaction to “I won’t see you tonight part 1- avenged sevenfold”
It’s on the list! -Sori🤘🏻
And part 2
Hi there ! New channel listener here(: . I just wanted to let you two know that I’ve enjoyed your Rev trilogy and how deep you both got into it, so much so that watching you both tear up at how much thought they put into those songs got me crying with y’all as well lmao :/. I had never thought of those songs to be as deep until you both gave your perspective on them and you’re right ! And I’m a hardcore a7x fan lol *facepalm*. But to be fair, I recently found faith in a creator, so that’s probably why it makes more sense compared to when I was a hardcore atheist. Sorry for the long, random comment, but I do appreciate the work you both put into these reactions.
Anywho, I guess I’ll give it a shot and throw a few recommendations that (hopefully) might be soothing for your ears.
Sixx:a.m - Life is beautiful
Sixx:a.m - Girl with Golden Eyes
Hoping you haven’t yet heard these songs ! Cheers from SoCal!
Whoa!!! That’s awesome that you found your faith!!! Me and Vin are blown away by this comment of yours! Thanks for taking the time to write to us and for sharing time with us through our videos! Grace and peace Brother 👊🏽👊🏻

Aphids are sometimes protected by a colony of ants (from ladybugs, side note) due to the sap it secretes - it's somewhat the milk cow to ants. So my initial thought was that "aphid attraction" meant an instinctual attraction, or an attraction that one can't help but have.
this song gives me goosebumps.
I've always thought of this song as almost being like Hitchcock thriller. This is a killer stalking his prey. Everything he says is an insight into his madness and obsession.
What an amazingly helpful song.
Sori is awesome, Vin you are the man.
😊 thank you! And your right about Vin! -Sori🤟🏻
Your channel is my favorite so far. You guys rule!
Awesome !!! We’re the best in thevworrrrrrllllddsss 🧐🧐🧐🤘🏾-Vin
Could you react to diluted by Slipknot? It’s powerful!
Listed!
Its really awesome to see peoples comments and reaction to these songs 1 and 2. I start to see this song branch out psychologicaly in ways we feel or see it. Its genuis how this song was written. Its almost as if your going to silent hill with multiple choice in psychological warfare. It could be a stocker serial killer it can be more in def. As i actually already know Cory invested is energy and build his life around the girl he possessed. In the video vermillion 1 she watches a cacoon turn into a butterfly as she was miserable. He felt alive and she felt trapped. But very interesting how you choose how you think this song results in. Vermillion 2 she looks like she got caught and killed by a serial killer, but In reality she was dead to him. Part 2 is slower, its showing more sorrow and acceptance she isnt real to him. He cant make her love him the way he loved her.
You guys gotta do one of these videos for a song called Diluted by Slipknot !! It's a song with 1000 interpretations and I truly feel anyone who has ever had something bad happen in their life will see at least 1 line worth of lyrics they can connect with. Would love to hear your thoughts on it as well.
The thing that's "Off" as you say... is the sound if Despair. That feeling... so hard to grasp unless you're feeling it yourself.
Villagers Of Ionnina City - Ti Kako I’m pretty sure you’ll love it!
First I’ve heard of it. Thx for the suggestion! -Sori🤘🏻
not sure if its connected but Corry Taylors ex wife is named Scarlett which is a shade of red like Vermillion
Yes!!! I said that I think in the previous vid
I think it's VERY connected lol. He's written about her several times it seems, and it would be a little too obvious if he just straight up named a song Scarlett, so if we are on the right track, naming it after her in a more intelligent way is really creative.
Since you enjoyTool, I'd like to recommend another Maynard project: Puscifer. Specifically, "Grand Canyon" (official video; it is beautiful), and "Galileo". I think you will like it.
Yes puscifer is def coming! Sori 🤘🏻
Rev 22:20, Green Valley, Conditions of My Parole (Video), Humbling River, Horizons, Potions, Mama Sed....In that order please, thanks!
Architect Overlord you've most likely already seen it, but if not you have to check out the recording of puscifer's show at rock am ring 2016 here on youtube... it's outstanding
I don't know if this is significant to this song, but the actual pigment (vermilion) was very poisonous back in the day. Artists still used it, because it was such a vivid and beautiful shade of red. Love the reaction and breakdowns in your vids! Keep up the great work! You guys are growing fast!
I know!! It’s crazy !!!
This song is about a serial killer who finds his next victim, but for first time is torn between her and the killing act...
So subliminal, I love Slipknot
This song is a kick in the az ! When the voice of Corey were a demolishion ball Joey Jordison was the true Master of drumms and the solo I think was composed by Mick I think so the 2 version very very cool
Asbolutely great song, especially from the guitar solo. I love the last riff of the guitar (I think it's Mick Thompson) with the glock play thing.
Slipknot was my first ever metal band too!!!
Both Snuff and Vermilion are totally about Scarlett, they've had a really messed up relationship. This is him battling to accept that is was over and on Snuff, wich was written a few years latter, is him already accepting that is over. If you check more Stone Sour, you will notice that he talks a lot about her on their songs.
I loved the sepultura reference at the begining
Exactly! Waiting for someone to request !!
10/10 for me. Crazy unique song.
The Black Paperweight Experience. I dig it.
Hahhaha he killed me when he said that!!!
I love you Vin!! -Sori🤟🏻
Dahlia is a flower. When he makes the transition of making her sound as a physical person versus within him it could potentially reference being in a relationship, failed or otherwise, and that person becomes a part of you. I really have no idea what the song is really about.
I think you’re close... pt2 may shed some light on it !
It always made me think of the Black Dahlia.
Never necessarily got the comparison, but that was always the first thing that came to mind.
Armaugh Blackwolf I always think of the black dahlia as well. And I think for me, it relates somewhat because she was considered very beautiful - oddly enough even more so after her death - many what happened to her was so tragic. In some twisted ways, I've always seen the black dahlia as a sort of metaphor for relationships in general.
Kamelot-Liar Liar official video is a great song
Listed!
fun fact, this is the only song that would calm my dog down from fireworks/thunder.
Lol really?!?-Sori
for real, when this album came out he was just a puppy so it was constantly playing, the first time he heard thunder came running to my room and wouldn't calm down at all, then this some came on boom calm. ever since then it always did the trick.
The guitarist and brother both went to a hospital when they got into a fight a few years ago and one was stabbed. That is about as midwest as it gets.
Vin if you need a place to hide from Sori , I got your back , you can hide here in belgium :D
Save me!!!😱
Well my word 🤨😡😝
-Sori🤘🏻
Corey himself said that it was partially about addiction and addictive natures.
Vol.3 is my favorite slipknot album by far. Corey refrained from swearing on the whole record (except for "bitched" on duality). I think it forced him to think a little more ouside the box and get more creative with his lyrics and it really shows
from what i get on Vermillion is that its about addiction as a general meaning of the song
She is poison to him but he is obsessed by her and so can't let her go and is despairing. "I won't let this build up inside of me!" That's the despair.
I thought he said such a pheremone cult untill i realize
You should react to Vermillion Pt. 2 for that opposite tone of Slipknot. Both versions are great on their own, but it would be awesome to see both of your thoughts on it. Almost seems like Corey had a chick on the pedestal and/or fantasized a specific female he couldn't obtain, ya know?
Part 2 coming very soon! -Sori✌🏻
Hello Vin! how you doing Vin? your thought about Vin! great reaction Vin!
“ROOOOOOTS” I hope that was a Sepultura reference 😂
Avenged sevenfold nightmare next please
SCOTTzombies2 save me is better
Paul and Joey wrote it, and Corey added to it, it's about a break up, and how you make the person seem better in your memories than they actually were. So you miss and love them but hate them at the same time.
Some people try saying Craig wrote it for his wife that was murdered, but that's untrue.
the nameless from this album would be a song i bet you guys would enjoy. also the song my plague from the iowa album. keep up the good work guys!
I believe Corey has come out before and said that this song was about a serial killer dealing with their compulsion and obsession.
Really enjoying this channel guys, very refreshing from other reaction channels!!
Hopefully some day we get some Deftones reactions :D
Keep up more requests!
oh would love to, I just don't wanna, you know... overwhelm you haha
It's hard to suggest a first Deftones song, I love too many, but lets try
"Deftones - My Own Summer" or "Deftones - Passenger" (since it features Maynard from TOOL)
Also, since you guys listen to Slipknot, maybe you'll give a chance to: "Mudvayne - Death Blooms"
keep up the awesome videos!!
Yes!!!
VEXARI Passenger is one of my favorites.
Death Blooms as well.
Nothing to Gein is another.
I Love You Sori
There is an acoustic version of this song it sounds totally different and beautiful
Jennifer Stone are you just talking about Vermillion part 2? Lol it's acoustic, but it's not really a different version of the song, it's just the second half of the story.
"It's off but not" I call it controlled chaos. Love your reaction vids, do one of Tool Reflection please
Well Vin. I have to say she's cool! But I mostly watch you two because of you. I love the way explain things! I think the same way you do. Just don't have the words or knowledge to do so. God bless you both😇😇
My opinion of this song is its about a stalker kidnapping and murdering his obsession and keeping her body. "My Dahlia" referring to the black Dahlia murder and even though he has her she is gone and not really there so he can't make her real and is makes him sad
Hi guys excellent reaction vids.
I would like to see you do Blue October songs :- Say it. Hate me. The End. Fear. Awesome one you done for snuff too .
Thank you !’ On the list !!
VinAnd Sori thanks for replying guys 🤘
Could it be about a lost love who is now a ghost to him? Listen to Vermillion Part II for more of an understanding.
I'm a morbid person dude, and i love this song, but listen to the song IOWA and then see how creepy it gets hahahaha love the reaction!
There's also another Slipknot Music Video you should React to Slipknot Everything Ends - HQ Lyrics Best Slipknot Track On The Album This Track EVERYTHING ENDS Has that Real Raw Energy To it just Furious Energy I Love It
Speaking of Roots (0:34) how about Sepultura - Roots Bloody Roots??
I love this song. Maybe try and look at it from another angle? I listen to country music, daily.
By her reaction to the line "Carve my name in my face" you should have her react to the official video of The Devil in I by Silpknot haha
MrFatbad ohhh yeah, she would NOT enjoy that lol
He only cares about his happiness. And he will do anything to get it.
Keep up this awesome channel! Love both of your insight in the songs I’ve watched you listen too. I’m a fan of System of a Down and would love to hear what you thought of their music. Any song or I could recommend one “Forest”. Thank you and I hope to see more :)
On the list !
I wasn't crazy about this song the first time i heard it because i was use to in your face heavy slipknot
