Slipknot | Scissors | (Vocal Cover)

MEANING

The lyrics were written by Joey Jordison about self-harm, but the last lines were improvised by Corey Taylor (and thought to be about drug addiction).

The lyrics seem to delve into emotional and physical pain, using medical metaphors and references to insects and spiders to illustrate an internal struggle and a sense of personal treatment.

The beginning of the song with 'I play doctor for five minutes flat' suggests severe self-intervention or self-criticism, where the 'cutting the heart open' symbolizes a painful and possibly destructive emotional opening. The mention of 'three bugs, a pound of dust' could be interpreted as the remains or small parts of oneself left after emotional or mental wear and tear. The figure of the 'black widow' offers a 'tube of affection', which could be seen as a dangerous temptation or false comfort in moments of vulnerability.

The chorus repeats the difficulty of staying 'between the lines of the skin', which can be interpreted as the struggle to maintain personal integrity or identity under extreme pressure. The repetition of 'Biding my time Until the time is right' suggests an anticipation or preparation for a decisive or liberating moment. This song, as a whole, seems to be a cry of anguish and a confrontation with the darkest aspects of the human psyche.

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 there
With my tongue spread wide open
A black widow had offered me
A sweetheart tube, as I injected
The candied heart that I selected
She said don't hesitate
Just do what you have to do to me

It's hard to stay between the lines of skin
Just 'cuz 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 'cuz I can't feel

It's hard to stay between the lines of skin
Just 'cuz 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 'cuz 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? (My time)
Biding? (My time)
Biding? (My time)
Biding?

You! You! You! You!

Someone in behind me
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 splayed 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! Do you need it?
You want it! You need it!

Don't run!
I die, you run, I had no heart!
I don't want you to pay anyone!

Wanna die!
I wanna die!
I'd rather die!
I wanna die!

You purge!
You burn!
You bitch!
I don't? Need? You? Anymore!
I don't need you!

No time!
