Music is a true outlet it’s a matter of perspective, you can sing or listen to songs deep and dark deemed depressing it’s more embracing the experience and being grateful that you’ve made it out of those Traumatic places life can deal us an unfair hand but throw them away…get your own cards and make your own fate and then you celebrate those moments because it’s more about celebration.
The sharing is true story telling when you reach in that abyss of emotion is being transparent, and that’s why it’s so relatable, pain dmakes you grow and learn but it doesn’t mean you’re friends.
This is the greatest love song ever written. Love doesn’t always end in happily ever after, rarely does actually. " If you still care don’t ever let me know…"
It took the death of hope for me to let you go.
I’ve commented about this on orher reactions to this, this song literally saved my life. It released a couple days after my ex-fiancee and girlfriend of 7 years left me. I was absolutely done with everything. I heard this song then the story behind it and I didn’t feel like I was alone and just a singular useless piece of garbage human. Knowing I wasn’t alone made me think about everything more and more. I really thought about my parents a lot. I had my dog who’d been through a lot with me who’d just lay with me and I needed to show him tge same love, feed him, play with him. It all kept me going. It’s been 7 years now and I’m still not fully better, still have dreams about her and my old life but I am better. I’ve quit drinking, I’m going to the gym again, just making other people smile and laugh makes me happy so I try to do that everyday. The empty house still stings a lot though.
That last line in the song “if you still care dont ever let me know” is so true for me. She tried coming back after everything and I could see she hadn’t changed at all and it was just going to happen again and again so that’s basically what I told her. I didn’t wanna hear it anymore because it would draw me back in and I’d just relive the pain over and over.
This song saved at least one life.
you can’t see California without Marlon Brandos eyes
Love this collab!!..
I’ve been going to see Slipknot repeatedly since 1999, up until
last year(almost every year). The crowd is always incredibly charged emotionally, but the first time he performed “Snuff” was a whole new wave of emotion. It was phenomenal.
WOW Reaction…
Yah!! We have finally found what it means to be human , nothing more than emotion, same time emotion means nothing unless you really know the writer. Sometimes I want to tell people to shut up and approach a song from the writers view!
When you hate yourself enough disassociating is super easy. At that level you can feel so poisons that even the toxic people in your life are your fault.” If you love me let me go”is a super selfish response but I honestly don’t know how to handle it. What if you’re the problem? I’m still working on how to handle that idea
This song helped me after my divorce. I was in a very dark place and this song totally resonated with everything i was going through. Im not 100 percent but im almost there. never discount the power of music!!!
The song was very emotionally charged for Corey when he wrote it, but then it became doubly and then triply more charged.
Now it’s his grief for 3 people he lost.
Originally, the song was about an unrequited love. He was going through a really ugly divorce and one of his closest friends was there to help him through it. At one point he thought she had feelings for him but when he confessed his love to her she not only rejected him but she completely abandoned the friendship too. Several months later one of his best friends and the bassist for Slipknot; Paul Gray, died of an overdose. So this means alot to him and all of the band
I cover this song at a lot of shows and it is really actually so hard cuz I relate so much to it but obviously no one could do it like Corey
Look up Paul grays part in this song he overdosed
Not ever loving again is the only answer to protect yourself.
You should check out the cover of this song by the Youtuber Frank Watkinson. He is an older gentleman who does a bunch of covers and some originals. His take on this song is extreamly somber, and he gives it a Johnny Cash Hurt vibe.
This is an amazing song, I would love to hear you do a break down on their song hesitate
