Surfacing Lyrics

Running out of ways to run
I can't see, I can't be
Over and over and under my skin
All this attention is DOING ME IN!

Fuck it all
Fuck this world
Fuck everything that you stand for
Don't belong
Don't exist
Don't give a shit
Don't ever judge me

Picking through the parts exposed
Taking shape, taking shag
Over and over and under my skin
All this momentum is DOING ME IN!

Fuck it all
Fuck this world
Fuck everything that you stand for
Don't belong
Don't exist
Don't give a shit
Don't ever judge me

You got all my love, livin' in your own hate
Drippin' hole man, hard step, no fate
Show you nuthin', but I ain't holdin' back
Every damn word I say is a sneak attack
When I get my hands on you
Ain't a fuck thing you can do
Get this cuz you're never gonna get me
I am the very disease you pretend to be

I am the push that makes you move

killer song. I think its like an anthem for people who society doesnt give a fuck about anymore cos theyre different from the crowd and dont care about fitting in. Awesome lyrics, the best line i think is "Get this cos youre never gonna get me/ I am the very disease you pretend to be".

song reminds me of how people can be so judgemental..when they dont know shit about you.

Okay, this example is going to sound very silly, but it's a prime one of how I connect this song to my life, and just how much I interweave music into it (and how I insane I am!!!!!!). I recently got a cute little stuffed bird as an Easter gift, and the following day after, I wanted to bring it along to school with me. My mom laughed at the idea and forbade me to. Her argument for such was because "18 year old guys don't do such things". I backed up my side of the argument by stating that there were a couple of girls in my choir who were playing around with a finger puppet in a fashion very similar on which I planned to do with the stuffed bird. Her response was "Well they're girls."

I got pissed afterward. Not only was the remark SEXIST (sexism is a pet peeve of mine), but also a hampering of who I truly am. And thus, this song comes in. Know what I'm saying? FUCK SEXISM, FUCK WHAT ANYONE ELSE THINKS, AND DO WHAT YOU FEEL IS RIGHT IN YOUR HEART.

eyeslave, how would you like it if I called you a fucken dickhead when I don't even know you?? you wouldn't like it at all, and you would be wondering how can I say that when I don't even know you. Shut the fuck up and open your eyes... its not only kiddies that listen to Slipknot, I know 50 yr olds who listen to them.
