| "Come see my cage - built in my grain " replace "my grain" with "migrane" as in a headache. meaning corey is inviting you to see his pain. his permanent headache. this is just my opinion | |

| I love this song. In fact I love all of Slipknot's freaky, scary songs like this one, Gently, Prosthetics and Tattered And Torn. The band members piss me off with their incessent ranting, 'I hate the world. The world hates me. The world is shit.' But I do like some of their songs especially this one, it gives me goosebumps! :cool: | |

| That's another thing...why do Slipknot call their fans 'maggots'? They should be grateful they have any fans after all, without us, they'd still be some garage band stuck in Iowa still. :mad: | |

| Purity, all over again...replace "my grain" with what it sounds like on the record (my GRAVE) and you'll know what i mean | |

| I agree with 666's opinion. And he also seems to get really emotional once the song progresses. I think it's a big fuck you to all things he has against him and the repeating 'Keeping myself alive' is like he has to survive to get through it all. | |
