LYRICS:
Today, up on this hill, I’m counting all the killers
They sway as they swarm, a look of gluttons in their eyes
They mutter as the body loses warmth
They pick your bones like locks inside a tomb
And take great care to not take care of YOU
HERE’S AN UNEXPLAINABLE ONE

While I was learning to live, we all were living a lie- I guess you got what you wanted
So I will settle for a slaughterhouse soaked in blood and betrayal
It’s always somebody else… somebody else was me- you want the real smile?
Or the one I used to practice, not to feel like a failure?
I don’t need you to do it for me/I don’t need you to understand
I don’t need you to hide it from me/ I just want to feel like any other man
I won’t show you the whole story/I won’t show you the aftermath
I won’t show you my allegory
Don’t look away… HERE’S AN UNEXPLAINABLE ONE

I’m not ahead of my time- I just drew the first breath- If I’m alive tomorrow
I will alleviate the pressure… by cutting you out of me
I found my bottom line- dead on the front lines- I know I’ll never go home
So set fire to your ships and past regrets and be free
I don’t need you to do it for me/I don’t need you to understand
I don’t need you to hide it from me/ I just want to feel like any other man
I won’t show you the whole story/I won’t show you the aftermath
I won’t show you my allegory
Don’t look away… HERE’S AN UNEXPLAINABLE ONE
WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?

While I was learning to live, you taught me how to die- I guess I got what I wanted
Another needle in the back through purified scarification
It wasn’t somebody else- you fucking did it to me.
You want a real smile?
I haven’t smiled in years.

    This song has enough metal to build a bridge across the Pacific Ocean..
  • @Majin_03
    The Boys and Slipknot: two of one of the most amazing things in the world. Life can be precious sometimes

    Snuff: "My smile was taken long ago." Solway: "I haven't smiled in years."
  • @joumou6966
    My gradfather told me about AC/DC. My dad told me about Metallica. I will tell my kids about Slipknot 🤘❤
  • @LeandroLima-mk3eq
    One thing that's amazed me about Corey Taylor for like basically ever is he manages to scream yet you still understand and feel every single word he says.
  • 25 years later and they're still one of the coolest bands to ever exist. I don't care what the haters have to say about Slipknot, their music got me through some tough shit in life. Slipknot is a blessing
  • Snuff: My smile was taken long ago. Solway Firth: I haven't smiled in years.
  • Warning: don't listen to this song while exercising because the world won't be ready for what you've become.
  • @nigelstefani
    The beginning of this vid is so impactful - like they're in some sort of trance, swaying awaiting battle. What a band
  • @Bilkachu
    This song makes me want to break in someone’s house and toast all their bread and put it back in the bag

    1999 - Give me a scream Corey Corey in 2019: Get This
  • It's been 4 years when this song was released and remains one of the best metal song of summer of 2019.
  • @TacoSnipezZ
    "you want the real smile? or the one i used to practice, not to feel like a failure?" damn.
  • Fans: "Slipknot, how heavy are you gonna go on this new album?" Slipknot: "Yes."
  • @i.d.9754
    I firmly believe this is one of the best songs EVER. It has really hard hitting lyrics, amazing performances on every instrument, and absolute chaos from Corey's voice. In my opinion, nothing can or will top, "YOU WANT A REAL SMILE?! Heh, I HAVEN'T SMILED IN YEARS! "
