I think you’d really dig skeptic by them

I couldn’t stop listening to this when i heard it all those years ago, i never really looked at it that deep but I was dealing with a pretty huge loss… and holding onto guilt over it. Hearing this again puts that pressure right back on my chest and the pit in my stomach, but it also lets me release it. Still love it even with the grief attached.
Also, your reactions are really interesting and I’m super excited you’re doing so much Slipknot! It’s not just noise and screaming!!! Lol

I lost my wife last fall…
After a decade battle with cancer…
We spent 24 years together.
Not sure how to say it, but I have lost my reasons to continue

When this record came out my step-dad had just passed away from cancer after an almost 6 year battle with cancer. This whole record got me through some really fucking tough times and kept me from losing my mind entirely.

I listened to this song repeatedly when i was in my darkest days
I only just now pieced together that XIX is 19 as in 19 years between the release of Gray Chapter in 2014 and the founding of the band in 1995
This song takes me back to a pretty dark chapter in my life, right around the time this album came out. I had just gotten out of a pretty toxic relationship at the time. Then a few weeks later I was a groomsman at my best friends wedding which was not easy. But then the very next day another friend of mine called me and told me that my ex girlfriend had started a new relationship with one of the other groomsmen at the wedding, named Alex. This was a dude that I knew since middle school and the only reason he and my ex met was through me, and he was told by EVERYONE to keep his mouth shut till after the wedding. But there’s more, a couple of years earlier Alex did the same thing to another one of my close friends. And just when I was getting ready to forgive Alex for that, he pulled the same stunt with me. And I wrote both Alex and my ex off with absolutely no chance of reconciliation whatsoever, you can’t call them friends.
I’m amazed that Alex kept his mouth shut at the wedding, because everyone got really drunk that day. That whole day is a blur to me,

My mate was shot dead on his honeymoon with a robbery gone wrong. Same year Paul grey died and this album puts me in the corner in the fetal position everytime
It’s been years since I’ve heard this song. It hits different now than it used to…
I lost a really close friend of mine to suicide earlier this year. She was a victim of serious trauma many years ago, and struggled with her mental health ever since. We both had a deep love for music, and even though we tended to gravitate toward different styles and eras, we always came back to the same core reason why we loved those styles so much: they spoke to us in a way that nothing else could. We could share what we loved with each other, without judgment.
Unfortunately, we started to have a fall-out with each other last summer. We were both to blame in our own way, but it really hurt both of us. By October, we weren’t even speaking to each other. Just before my birthday in December, she called me to tell me she missed me. I still didn’t know how I felt at the time, so I let it pass. After New Year’s, I reached out to her. She went back to the psych ward, and I ended up calling her just as she was getting home. We made plans to meet up again within the next couple of weeks, but I never got to see her again. Doctors found tumors in her body, and when was given the bad news, she didn’t see the point in living anymore 
I felt guilty for being so cold to her when I was angry last year. I asked one of her close friends if I was wrong for how I handled things, and he told me no. He told me not to take the burden on my shoulders, and that her decision had nothing to do with me. It helped ease my pain a little, but there’s still a feeling of guilt that I can’t seem to shake. If there’s one thing I can say, is that we started to mend our friendship before she died. The last time I spoke to her, we were on the phone for over an hour, sharing stories and laughs, and remembering how much we enjoyed each other’s company. This would be so much worse if we had no love or forgiveness for each other.
Rest in peace, Ker-bear. I’ll never forget you 
This song resonates with me,
I woke up from attempted murder after being raped years before. . .it was intended to traffic me but they coukdnt so they tried to kill me…
I remember the waking up after the shock night before, i knew what had happened and didnt know what to do…
With my face,
Against the floor…
I cant see who knocked me out of the way,
I didnt see and i reported it but it was respected due to the fact of.
This song is deep with me.
I cant often communicate things too well and music helps tremendously!
