Just a sample track. The title of the song is the barcode
number from the bands boiler suits, and the Mate. Feed. Kill. Repeat album.
(sic)
(sic) is a literary term that an author includes after a line of text that
indicates that she or he knows it's wrong, but she or he is including it.
Eyeless
You can't see California without Marlon Brando's eyes ... When the band visited
New York for the first time to sign the record deal with Roadrunner, Mick says "That all came from a schizophrenic street
person in New York. He was running around, screaming it at everyone. Though I think his choice of actor was pretty cool. He
was off his shit (the schizo that is)."
Joey says "It's not necessary about Marlon Brando's eyes, it's a pivotal
figure of Marlon Brando being the untouched guy that he is and eye's being such a strong word, because that song is about
Corey's dad and how he doesn't know him. So we're using a figure that everyone knows to amplify the song and with California
being
such a big fucking state. Like we just use them as articles or examples of a picture. Like the whole motto is unless you're
going to be strong enough or
realize what the outcome has been in life, don't try to see something that you're
not going
to fucking see."
Wait
and Bleed
"It's about
this guy thats keeps having repeatative black and white dreams of
himself lying in a bath of blood with his wrists slit...
and one day he wakes up
and he finds this dream a reality but he doesn't want to believe this so he trys to
fall back
asleep and wake up normally so he basically 'Waits and Bleeds'"
Spit it Out
"Spit It Out" was written in retaliation to childish mud-slinging by a handful of
individuals
who worked at a local radio station in Des Moines, Iowa. These
individuals worked hard to keep Slipknot off the air.
The
song was broadcast in fragments on Mancow's Morning Madhouse after the
station threatened to pull Mancow's show from their
station. It was also right after
Slipknot were pulled from a slot on a live concert in Chicago hosted by Mancow;
thanks
to same said individuals at aforementioned radio station.
Purity
"I still think its real. See the thing whether it's true or not, it's a real story, that we
read
about, that fucked our whole world up. Can you imagine a girl being buried in a box and having all this lecherous bullshit
drip down on her from this guy? and thinking that there is hope, because this kid is taking some bizarre note to this
guy
he doesn't even know- thinking that you are holding on to the shirt of hope and you wake up and you're dead you're buried
in mud -they find the note about
a week later shoved in a library book for gods sakes -it just hurts your head- it's a
case
of what is good and bad in people- the box alone is reason enough to be like, 'I cant stand to be fucking human'- how can
someone fucking do this to
somebody? What is inside of us that is so fucking wrong? he had written quotes from Edgar Allen
Poe and lots of fucked up things on the box" - Corey Taylor
Prosthetics
"The song's based loosely on a 1960's movie called the collector- it is about a
guy who kidnaps this girl
and basically adds her to his collection and keeps her there -it's a weird kind of psychological thing, and prosthetics takes
it a little bit further -where he is put into a deep sick psychosis and he goes through the whole collecting thing, at the
end of the song he ends up killing her and having
sex with her." - Corey Taylor
Eeyore
"It's the hidden track- Slipknot was based on the theory that we would never give
up
any style of music that we loved to play -for anyone- that we would gel things together under the name slipknot- it goes from
all styles from beginning to end." -
Shawn Crahan
"Eeyore is just about this one fucking guy from Des Moines, Iowa
- he has long
blonde fucking hair and he is a prick to people in the fucking pit he's a Thor
looking jerkoff. He loves
our band but he's a dick to everyone in the pit. He likes
to hit fucking chicks. The song is about me losing my mind and
just tearing the
shit out of him" - Corey Taylor
