Scissors Lyrics

I play doctor for five minutes flat
Before I cut my heart open
And let the air out
Three bugs, a pound of dust
Some wind spilled before me
In the strangest manner that had
Broke away my tear spout!

As I lie here
With my tongue spread wide open
A black widow had offered me
A sweet ordeal
As I injected
The candid heart that I selected
She said don't hesitate
Just do what you like to do to me!

It's hard to stay between the lines of skin.
Just 'cause I have nerves, don't mean that I can feel.
I wasn't very much fun to be with anyway.
Just let the blood run red, 'cause I can't feel!

It's hard to stay between the lines of skin.
Just 'cause I have nerves, don't mean that I can feel.
I wasn't very much fun to be with anyway.
Just let the blood run red, 'cause I can't feel!

Biding my time until the time is right
Biding my time until the time is right
Biding my time until the time is right
Biding my time
It's time!

Biding my time until the time is right!
Biding my time until the time is right!
Biding my time until the time is right!
Biding my time
It's time!

Biding my time until the time is right!
Biding my time until the time is right!
Biding my time until the time is right!
Biding my time
It's time!

Biding my time until the time is right!
Biding my time until the time is right!
Biding my time until the time is right!
Biding my time
It's time!

Biding!
Biding!
Biding!
Biding!

Yeah!

Someone inside me
Everyone against me

Everyone beside me
Clawing away

The pieces
Scratching away
The absence

One more
Two more
Everyone, once more

One more
Two more
Everyone, once more

Inside the places that I hide from you
I want to see you spread before me
You, are, the only one, that I would rather see
Before me!

You want it
You need it
You want it
You need it
You want it
You need it
You want it
You need it
I don't want
I lied! You're wrong I'm wrong I want
I don't want, stupid, anyone
I want to die!
I want to die!
I'd rather die!
I want to die!
You purge!
You burn!
You purge!

I don't! Need! You! Anymore!
I don't need You!

Biding! time!
Biding! time!
Biding! time!
Biding! time!
Biding! time!
Biding! time!
Biding! time!
Biding! time!
Biding! time!
Biding time, biding time, biding time

Uagh!!

its the thoughts of someone being sent from deep depression into muderous stride "biding my time"

Cover art for Scissors lyrics by Slipknot

There are a lot of references to shooting heroin in this song. Obviously there is the overarching theme of self hatred but that could easily be caused by the struggle of drug addiction, and giving up on yourself (I wasn't much fun to be with anyway). Then by the end he is arguing with his addiction, which is trying to convince him that he needs it, but he ends up screaming that he'd rather die, he doesn't need it anymore. That's the level of determination it requires to kick a junk habit, so I can easily see it being in relation to junk. Just my opinion, these songs are interpretated different ways by different, that's the whole point of music, to connect with people, so sure, while he may of written it about drug addiction, if it helps you with depression or some other problem, then interpret it how ever you want.

Song Meaning

You know that part after the song, where after it's all silent and everything, then people start talking? I believe that is the group watching the movie Gummo, and they are all grossing out over it. I've watched it and it's pretty sick. Anyway, the reason for this is that in Rolling Stone it said that the movie Gummo is somewhere in the album, but i couldn't think of any songs but this one, and it makes sense. In case anyone wants to know, the movie is about these kids who live in Youngstown, OH and they have like, no culture so they just look around for things to do, and the movie showcases this. For instance, they find a cat so they string it up and shoot it with bb guns, they make a little kid have sex with a sick old hooker, all for fun!
