Slipknot - Metabolic Lyrics






Gone
I couldn't murder your promise
Right before my eyes
The revolutions of my psychosis
Kept me outta the way

Once inside all I hold is ash

Fail
Suppressing every feeling
I'm in so much pain
I have every fuckin' right to hate you
I can't take it!

The hardest part was knowing that I could never be you
Now all I do is sit around and wish I could forget you

My demise
I took a life worth living
And made it worth a mockery
I deny
I fold, but they keep on coming

[3x]
Stop
I'm always ready to die
But you're killing me

Who are you to me? Who am I to you?
Is this a lesson in nepotistic negligence?
By default you are my only link to the outside
Psychosomatic suicide
Where were you when I was down?
Can you show me a way
To face everyday with this face
Goodbye

My demise
I took a life worth living
And made it worth a mockery
I deny
I fold, but they keep on coming

[3x]
Stop
I'm always ready to die
But you're killing me

When I blur my eyes,
They make the whole world breathe
I see you fucking me
And I am absolutely controlling every urge to mutilate
The one and only answer
So much for memories
I wanna dress in your insecurities
And be the perfect you
I'm through
I'm out-stretched down for all to loathe
Here we go
The ultimate irony

My demise
I took a life worth living
And made it worth a mockery
I deny
I fold, but they keep on coming

[3x]
Stop
I'm always ready to die
But you're killing me

    This is real SlipKnot

  12. J.... V....

    2:18 between Coreys scream Joeys blast beats and the guitars of Mick and Jim sending the feeling of going insane is everything Slipknot of the Iowa era was.

  13. T.... R....

    This song makes my throat hurt by just listening to it.

  14. G.... A....

    The purely vitriolic way he says "nepotistic negligence" and "be the perfect you, I'm through" is so perfect and satisfying

  15. S.... ....

    1:02 It's insane how quickly Corey can switch from singing to screaming.

  16. D.... F....

    2:18 Orgasmic!!

  17. F.... A....

    I like the part where he’s angry. It’s hard to describe...

    Gone, I couldn't murder your promise.
    Right before my eyes.
    The revolutions of my psychosis.
    Kept me outta the way.

    Once inside, all I hold is ash.

    Fall - suppressing every feeling
    I'm in so much pain
    I have every fuckin' right to hate you
    I can't take it!
    The hardest part was knowing that I could never be you
    Now all I do is sit around and wish I could forget you

    My demise! I took a life worth living,
    and made it worth a mockery!
    I deny! I fold,but they keep on coming.
    (Stop) I'm always ready to die,
    but you're killing me!

    Who are you to me? Who am I to you?
    Is this a lesson in nepotistic negligence?
    By default,you are my only link to the outside
    Psychosomatic suicide
    Where were you when I was down?
    Can you show me a way...
    To face everyday with this face - goodbye

    My demise - I took a life worth living and
    Made it worth a mockery
    I deny - I fold,but they keep on coming
    (Stop) I'm always ready to die
    But you're killing me

    When I blur my eyes,they make the whole
    World breathe - I see you fucking me

    And be the perfect you - I'm through
    I'm out-stretched out for all to loathe
    Here we go - the ultimate irony

  25. S.... D....

    Closest to death metal

  26. j.... j....

    I love how the songs on this album each have these small spurts of experimentation that differs one from another and makes each song unique

  27. s.... a....

    boppin beats HYPE AF

  28. X.... K....

    This song has so much anger and I feel like this when I'm angry

  29. T.... W....

    Reminds me of my brother this is the perfect song for someone like him

  30. N.... G....

    My friends don’t understand my taste in music

    N.... G....

    You have some great taste in music

    N.... G....

    Mine neither, but fuck ‘em, Slipknot & Bullet for my Valentine is the way forward

  31. M.... d....

    Extremo Nu Metal

    M.... d....

    This is too heavy to be considered Nu metal lol

  32. v.... ....

    2:17 one if the best screams ever recorded

  33. P.... L....

    My shit since 20 years ago

  34. F.... ....

    One day the lyrics will come out

  35. M.... T....

    GAAAAAAAAH!

  36. A.... ....

    I honestly did not realize how underrated this song was compared to the rest of the album, this is probably my favorite song , if not gently

  37. P.... P....

    Happy birthday, IOWA!

  38. N.... ....

    Metabolic? More like metalholic. XD

  39. r.... ....

    Гавно.

  40. L.... e....

    2:17 That breakdown is just sic

  41. J.... M....

    One of the best metal albums of all time. All criticism of the band itself aside, you can't be a fan of metal and not appreciate this album.

  42. a.... 9....

    UNDERRATED

  43. C.... D....

    2:17 the best part of the song

  44. s.... ....

    Iowa is their best album.

  45. D.... ....

    That "killing me" at the end is a fucking killer. I wish this scream was longer. That's what happens when you've had no sleep, someone pissed you off and you just stubbed your toe.

  46. J.... E....

    Its like the old version of Solway Firth! Slipknot Forever

  47. I.... Y....

    The thing I ducking love about slipknot is how some songs they put some parts in 1 ear, giving it this weird but also cool effect that I can’t explain. If your not listening on headphones, your missing out.

  48. J.... O....

    Leave it

  49. J.... O....

    Hey make no more be forgiven and Chris ss t power dust of GOD, the blood vitamin set,minerals set ,block dust of almighty!BEHold the temple of God to Satan the giant slayer awards voting now is beginning blizzard community blizzard

    J.... O....

    Uh bro...what the fuck

    J.... O....

    Did you remember to take your meds?

  50. K.... G....

    Came here after Solway Firth. To see how close it compares.

    K.... G....

    Not a chance brother. These drums are more intense, monumental and real, than on new slipknot album. You can hear how double-pedal is sharp and snare drum. Also, there is monumental and weird bass guitar by Paul over the whole song. It makes this song more heavy.

  51. �.... A....

    Checking in after SOLWAY FIRTH

  52. T.... S....

    *Psychosomatic suicide*

    T.... S....

    I used to think it said nomadic suicide

  53. J.... A....

    0:06 IF YOUR CAR WONT
    START

  54. P.... D....

    This song is Groove Metal 100%, not Nu-Metal.

    P.... D....

    This is far too brutal to be Groove Metal...

  55. L.... L....

    Is soo underrated 😲🔥🔥

  56. C.... 7....

    This is why I love Iowa

    C.... 7....

    me too borther...this song perfectly captures the pain and emotion of the entire album!

  69. L.... S....

    Been a fan of the Knot since this album, and it is my favorite of all time. A lot of elements I hear: metal, some hip-hop, melodics. But Disasterpiece is by far the best Knot song of all time. Long live the Knot.

    I deny, I fold, but they keep on coming
    Stop, I'm always ready to die, but you're killing me
    Stop, I'm always ready to die, but you're killing me
    Stop, I'm always ready to die, but you're killing me
    Stop, I'm always ready to die, but you're killing me

    Stop, I'm always ready to die, but you're killing me

    [Bridge]
    Oh, when I blur my eyes, they make the whole world breathe
    I see you fucking me
    And I am absolutely controlling every urge to mutilate
    The one and only answer so much for memories
    I wanna dress in your insecurities

    Stop, I'm always ready to die, but you're killing me
    Stop, I'm always ready to die, but you're killing me
    Stop, I'm always ready to die, but you're killing me

    [Outro]
    Stop, killing me
    Stop, killing me
    Stop, killing, stop, me
    Killing me
