Ps the masks were from the beginning of the band. In the beginning no one knew their names or what they looked like. They literally went by numbers only. It wasn't until after their 3rd album that they took off their masks. So from '99 to '04 it was all about the music not them. So they just continue with the masks and come up with new masks now and again.

[Darren]

This song was if memory serves written to deal with the feelings they had after Paul Grey passed away. Every death in the video is tied to a fear each member has and this video also Segway's into their new masks. The masks also allow the band members to give themselves to their music.

[animedemon]

This song was made about the emotions felt from the passing of bassist and founding member Paul Grey and trying to move on without him. Also the deaths of the member are all symbolic to the members. Can't remember them all, but what I do remember. Sid eating his own fingers, he's a DJ, without them he's worthless, Chris Fehn has an intense fear of birds, Corey as has many front men had been known for having an ego. So he was blowing his old self away. The two people being stabbed were their new drummer and bassist Jey and V-man. That was their introduction into the band.

You're not done with metal untill we say you're done with metal. Metal Monday FOREVER! 🤣

Edit: Thanks for all the replies and likes. I didn't expect this when I wrote this comment 5 hours ago 🙂

Taylor explained the song's meaning to The Pulse of Radio: "'The Devil In I' is really about the war inside yourself, " he said. "Trying not to give into defeatism, trying not to give into negativity, trying not to give up basically. It's a struggle. It's one of the hardest thing you can do, is to give in to that side of yourself."

[heidibaltom]

Im loving Metal Mondays. I love how knowledgeable you are about all music. The funny comments help too. Also from the begining each album has had different masks. So they keep evolving. Each person designs their own mask and basically it is how they feel inside.

I think you are pretty much there with the meaning. When they are "killing themselves" they have the old mask on. So they are basically killing that version of them and this is the new one. Also the 2 in the wheelchairs that they are stabbing are meant to be the Bass player who died and the drummer who left.

[MrMetalMichael]

Through the looking glass and snuff are two very good songs by this guy aswell, his vocal range is amazing

[ThisReactiverse]

Slipknot combines all the aspects of Rap rock, incredible and real lyricism, unaddressed and often overlooked darkness.
This band is a wake up call with just about every song.

[davidcarter]

Damn good break down of the song brother. It was written after Paul passed. This was one of the last songs that they did before they changed into the masks that they are currently wearing. It was very symbolic of letting go and representing the band and each of the members moving on and leaving behind the past.

[jasonforpresident]

Fun fact: the reason why Corey (actually all of them) wear 2 different masks is because they change masks every album so they killed themselves in their old masks and they perform the song in the new ones which is symbolic for destroying their “devils” and past (as you said at the end)
Also the deaths themselves are very symbolic, Sid (the dj) eats is hands (what he needs for scratching), Corey blows his head off (what he needs for singing) and mick rips his face off (he’s most known for that look and has worn that mask since 2004 and still wears the same style to this day)

[alicegoode]

I HIGHLY recommend Vermillion Pt 2, it's so deep! Or Snuff. Trying to think of Slipknot tunes that have more lyrics 😅

[dougf]

“This video is brought to you by cannibalism” bit actually made me laugh as both you and I had the same reaction to it. Matching facial expressions and all.

[Bear-xhru]

Knox Hill is the Harry Mack of break downs!! You have made me look at music in a different way. I don’t just hear it I listen to it… understand what a artist is doing. For me music is so much better because of you!! Appreciate everything you do.

[sabrinashadah]

No, you are not done with metal. You have a lot of Slipknot songs to analyse yet. Don't abandone us!

[---bueg]

Ex mormon here… Really enjoyed that bit around 3-4min where you broke down the need to break off the shackles of religion. I dont align or associate w/ any religion now and consider myself agnostic at this point because of the trauma ive needed to heal/ get over from relgious organizations and institutions.

[Ian_Ah_Nee]

Hell yes! I'm loving the metal Monday reactions!

[bst.]

ALOT of early Slipknot stuff was claimed as demonic because when they came out it was what late 90s so the growth with Slipknot is honestly insane ❤🎉 I love your breakdowns Knox

[stevensurnear]

Corey has such an amazing vocal range. You should check out his other band Stone Sour. React to through the glass or bother next plz!!!!

[vampfan]

I love the Metal Mondays posts. I love seeing the way you interpret the songs. I would love to see you react to Bad Omens. The stories that the songs portray are so good. Some songs I would recommend are “Like a Villain”, “Concrete Jungle”, and “Glass Houses”, but they really don’t have many “bad” songs. There is a little bit of swearing in the songs, but the songs are a good listen.

[Dilldough.]

Knowing it was written with Paul in mind after he passed, I always felt it was about turning and facing the demons EVERYBODY deals with after the death of a loved one. Whether it’s smoking, drinking, drugs etc. Or even repairing burned bridges between friends or family. That’s just how I feel. I’d love to hear any other interpretations others might have.
