Religion is sometimes the opposite of faith

do you know what the opium of the people is?
other than being a damn good song by slipknot its the condemnation of people that use entertainment as a means to burry there heads in the sand the song is discribing the rebuilding of the colusiums and we dont even realize it.

This album was made after Corey Taylor came out a very bad relationship. Listen to the lyrics very closely he is not really talking about religion it’s a metaphor he is talking about being with someone who thought they were god. This song goes hand in hand with Nero forte

also, its nice to hear a therapist that is pro self-empowerment. We need more of this in the younger generations. Fix your damn selves instead of requiring trigger warnings on everything

It took nearly 20 years before my family finally accepted that I wont follow their rules. This is why bands like slipknot always vibed with me so well. My family tried forcing a baptism on me, forcing me into sunday church services and even religious therapy because i was “Angry”. again… 20 years later and I think they finally realized that all that was what MADE me angry

By lucky circumstances I stumbled across your channel. You have the most infectious attitude for life, music and love how you break down the meanings of songs. Music has made me smile, cry, laugh, rage and love. Keep it up.

I get the religion aspect. I think this could apply to being with or close to a narcissistic/controlling person as well and the abuse that person has done to you either mental/physical. Being lost and not knowing what to do and then finally coming to grips and moving on

4:26 These lyrics make me think of a past relationship. The girl pushed so hard to be with me that I was all she wanted, but ended with her acting like was was nothing. She left and came back just to leave again. I do feel like I’m more than she thinks I am. It got to the point where i told her she needs to go, because it starting becoming very toxic, We would argue and I would just and to leave and she would back me into a corner to keep arguing. She even put herself between my car door so I couldn’t close it and leave the situation.

Maybe someday, I’ll bite the billet and see a therapist for shit. However, your insights on things are insanely helpful. From a free YouTube channel, you’re doing us all a service. Thanks for your videos.

I never thought of it being a religious message rather than the ire of someone that wants to heal you for their own personal fulfillment, and being gaslit if the result isn’t what they wanted.

I’ve been working on my own music playlist on personal growth / community & this was the second time I’ve watched this video because I wanted conformation that this song belongs in my mix, your take is spot on and a great reminder that everyone’s journey is their own. Thanks!

I had a coworker I liked to “torture” with Slipknot in the lab. 
He asked me once if they had ANY happy songs. I said nope… They’re my go to for working through the bad stuff. I love them for that. Listening to them is cathartic.
