Slipknot - Solway Firth (LYRICS)

Slipknot "Solway Firth" lyric video

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?
Yeah
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

[DissocialPersonality]

one of the top ten best slipknot songs imo

[karak]

To any depressed person listening to this song. I want you to know that you're not alone. I wish I could hold you in my arms and tell you it's going to be alright.

[_CPP_]

This is not only my favorite Slipknot song, this is one of my favorite songs of all time.

[nah]

Not just a good metal song, this is an amazing song in general.

[Philkoehler]

I went and seen them live 3 weeks after this dropped and i prayed n prayed they would perform it, on the way to the show my buddy said he looked the show list and solway was not on there he said....well once the beginning hit and me and my buddy locked eyes he smiles at me as i was literally in tears

[macblink]

When I get stressed by people, or when I have a bitter dream.. my brain remembers this song, and I listen to it.. it's the perfect therapy.. it expels any trace of anger and resentment away 🤘🏻

[mylesh]

That last line just kills me. Breaks my f n heart.

[rett]

It’s the chuckle at the end before I haven’t smiled in years that just makes this song so epic wraps it all up badass song one of my favorites from slipknot all time

[samoverturf]

These 9 guys have dropped hint after hint after hint throughout slipknots run. And this one is a big one. It's time to wake up a little more and start reeeally seeing the world we wake up in every day.

[xilincao]

Perfect song to blast when I feel like shit, it just so packed with anger and pain, from the instrumental, to the vocals, and the lyrics, just one of Slipknot's best songs, and my favorite song from them so far

[Lenny-dz]

I think my 85 year old grandma would love that song 😮

[GretgorPooper]

That's a fantastic album closer. I have yet to listen to their latest album, but this one is great.

[Robbruce-zgnw]

One of the most incredible song I've ever heard and amazing video nothing comes close to these guys plus Joey is the best drummer in the world ❤❤❤ R.I.P.

For over 20 years Wait And Bleed was my top favorite, but after all this time this one might take the spot
