von Slipknot

Worum geht es in dem Song?

Der Songtext "Solway Firth" von der Band Slipknot hat eine tiefgründige Bedeutung, die sich auf verschiedene Themen wie ...

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
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
Here's an unexplainable one
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 my 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?
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
