| Its a cry of humanity, for people of society who are pathetic, and corey recognises himself as one of these, the last 2 lines are so powerful, keeping myself alive through your empathy! | |

| i believe this song comes down to the history of the real natural being, and looks and the though of the Fruid concept of the ego, super ego and the "id", which i get from the quotes correy uses, " Inhabit the riddle and fill in the hovel " which is a direct quote to idipus rex (i think thats the spelling) but if u know about it all take it into account. Or it could just be about the way everyone in society strive to be something but in the end they die and turn to nothing so it all comes back to a cycle of nothing (zero). which makes a bit of sense when you look at the song "left Behind". | |

| SKIN TICKET "In my opinion, the whole song is about Coreys life living in Iowa. Zero and zero nothing but zero means Iowa= the middle of nowhere. Running and running going on forever means there is nowhere to go, and he can't get out. When he says starving for zero, I think he means that he is STRIVING for nothing, and he wants something, and feeling, but there is nowhere to get it. When he says come see my cage built in my grain, I think he means the obvious... I am stuck here, and I have nowhere to go. But when he says come see my cage -built in migraine, I think he means See me, my cage, my creation. It makes him ache and hurt. He can't think. He has lost his mental picture of himself. This place he needs to escape. He needs life, and he needs to feel, but he can't. He can't see the world through his eyes, because he is stuck in his cage. His home. And when he says keeping myself alive through your EMPATHY, I think he means that WE are keeping him alive by our understanding of his lyrics, and his life and feelings. I think this song and all the others were meant to be figured out by us. He wants us to understand him. He needs someone to understand him, because no one ever did. He is counting on us. He needs us. If there are people out there that understand what he is trying to say, I believe he escaped his cage." -slipknot-metal.com thats a pretty good analasys of it. but i think the 'zero and zero is nohting but zero' part he is trying to say that he's nothing, in the middle of nowhere, and this amounts to nothing. the 'Minus the inside and minus the circle / Inhabit the riddle and fill in the hovel' is the part wheres hes telling us to figure it out. this song really makes me feel really close to corey. when i first listen to it, i was super tired, and i fell asleep with the headphones on, still playing skin ticket. that was when i discovered that when i fall asleep listening to crazy songs like this, it does stuff to me. when i woke up, i was fine for a while, then i just had an emotional breakdown for no reason. i felt super despressed, like there was nothing left in my life, and i kept heard corey singing 'come see my cage- built in my grain' the whole ordeal really freaked me out. but when it was over, i loved SK even more cuz a band that can write a song that controls my emotions like that and make me feel the way skin ticket does, that is an incredibly talented band. | |
