| "Everybody's so infatuated Everybody's so completely sure of what we are Everybody defamates from miles away But face to face, they haven't got a thing to say I bleed for this and I bleed for you Still you look in my face like I'm somebody new TOY - nobody wants anything I've got Which is fine, because you're made of Everything - I'm - NOT " This song it's not only about super stars hate, but also about prejudice, like u hear the 666 in the music, then u think "oh my god, they're satanist" if u think this way, then fuck u :) | |

| 9 out of 10 doctors agree, listening to Slipknot before you go to sleep will cause you to wake up stabbing yourself in the leg screaming "DADDY NO DADDY NO DADDY NO!" or "WHY DOESNT MY MOM/DAD HUG ME!?" and other variations of the two. Oh and heather, we can tell by your name you are heather, no need to sign off as heather ~yacantfademe~ | |

| Do you know what exageration is? Slipknot does it, they exagerate how "badass" they are. Well no wait that is just an out right lie. But anyway, dont worry about not acknowledging me, god loves you, even though you don't think it. You have an odd view of life, its because the purple hair dye is getting to your brain. There is a reason people stop at the door of Hot Topic and laugh at you all... | |

| This song is about how slipknot was accused of being satanists when no one from the band was. | |

| This song is about takin' no shit from nobody... you choose your own path... "If your 555, I'm 6(sic)6"... That if you hit a fork in the road, you take the third path... Be your own person and don't let anyone deside anything for you... | |

| "It is either about satan taking over our culture, or slipknot being anti social again. Or both." by MCD_MaDDY on 09-21-2007 @ 11:58:19 AM I'm pretty sure Corey doesn't write about Satan. Even though he does show references in some of his songs, it's been made pretty clear by himself and the band that the song is about the music industry and how they won't conform to making music the way they want Slipknot to. And if you read this, MCD MaDDY, please explain how the hell this song could mean that they are anti-social. I really don't see how that fits. | |

| I agree for the most part with most of you. 555 being fake, and being hollywood where a lot of people are would mean the majority of people are fake and "im 666" is like saying "im being myself so you say im evil" | |

| slipknot is amazing in the fact that they can take one thing and turn it into another.......saying if ur 555 im 666 doesnt mean they are satanists its just saying......hey fuck u and ur opinions, if ur one way then im gonna be the opposite. IM NOT LIKE YOU! thats what i think ~heather~ | |
