Slipknot has gotten me through dark times over the years. Thank you for helping put their catharsis into words

I've heard this song a million times, but this analysis just gave me chills. Love watching people's first time listen.

[SteveCoronado]

The way you analyze Slipknot is phenomenal. I watched your first Slipknot video and the trepidation you displayed was incredible. Now you see and feel why we love this band. You are amazing and I’m grateful to have found your channel 🤘🏻💥🔥🙏🏻💯

You NEEEED to explore into KoRn, especially their first 4 albums. So much of their singer, Jonathan Davis’ lyrics are an expression of, and a way of working through traumatic childhood experiences. It would be fascinating to hear an actual therapists take on it.

Weird seeing a Therapist reacting to my Therapy.

[markhutzler]

I'm so happy to find this channel and subscribed. Metal is great therapy. I've loved it for over 47 years and I'm 51. I'm very new to this community and need all the support and love to help others and myself with mental health issues.

Gonna be a lil vulnerable, and admit that this reaction made me cry. Idk if it's because it's been so long since anything has invoked this kind of happiness in me, or because it's been so many years since I've been able to enjoy anything to the level you were this song, or what...but seeing you so into it, and the smiles, and being excited when you understood a message in it, made me cry...hard. One day, maybe I'll get back to that. Much love, God Bless, rock on❤️🙏🤘

[Mr.Sidenote]

I love the passion. Slipknot has a way of hyping us up.

[Enemyofthenewworldorder]

Watching you jam out is an absolute vibe 🤘🏻🙏🏻

My brother linked you to me and I must say, I’m not disappointed. You get it and it’s so refreshing to see more people be able to listen to metal and understand how meaningful the lyrics are and the venting and healing process that can happen from a song. Can’t say it’s some tho g you can shake your ass to but the world would be better with less of that music. Keep it up and may I suggest some all that remains for your next couple of videos. They have many many wonderful songs.

This is actually one of the most affirmative and positive songs I've ever heard.. Remember where your power comes from. Anger is just pent up energy, converting it into determination & motivation is you reap the benefits. It's like mental Alchemy.

Joe Strummer once sang "Anger can be power if only you can use it."

Been listening to Slipknot since around 2001 because of my older cousin Jared, who i had lived with growing up. Ive heard this song for a long time and just never broke it down. I guess i knew what Corey was saying, but never thought about it. I just started listening to them again after my cousin passed from an O.D. So actually breaking this one down after that happened, I definitely have a new love for this song, when it was never one of my favorites by them, until now.

This song is already powerful, Your words give it even MORE life & meaning. Respect!

[samanthacutlip]

Girl you are real. 💯 The way you explain about everything hits it right on the nail with me your awesome .❤

[shannenfarrah]

Your reaction and dancing to this song is fantastic!! 🤯 I love this song

[joelees]

Slipknot helped me thru alot of tough times I'm glad a professional sees how they can

[jacobrobles]

Fucking amazing analysis. You are so good at breaking down these lyrics. I’ve never felt more alive and powerful hearing you speak about the meaning of this song!

[Smeg]

This has been my favourite slipknot song for a long time but I never saw it quite this way. I've had a very dark and difficult year but this perspective helped me feel stronger. Thank you

[enferm]

Slipknot helped me so much in my adolescence until now, recently my mother passed away, and with that many questions and doubts about my future... Many of the lyrics are not against a particular person, but against the person the world formed within us, who sometimes doesn't understand how we feel inside ourselves. Slipknot heals,
Corey once said, no matter how tired, sad, depressed, faithless, powerless you may feel, it's temporary, it's all temporary, because we're not aware of how strong we are until the storm passes

[masonyuzwa]

Damn I finally found a person that is a rocker/reaction that actually gets the deeper messages in these bands !! Great job at breaking it down !! 😁👍🤘
