Therapist analyzes the lyrics to Vermilion by Slipknot to discuss how people often seek external solutions to internal problems and feelings overwhelm them. It often feels easier to believe if I just had this one thing, person, or job that it would solve all of the negative feelings inside of me. This belief causes us to fixate on things outside of ourselves because we believe they will heal us. The truth is that internal problems need internal understanding and solutions, and there often isn’t just one fix. This song reminds us to ask ourselves where we are seeking a solution outside of ourselves and calls us to examine our internal experiences.

Vermilion Pt. 1’ is about the enrapturing, the buildup, the anticipation and the neurosis. Part 2… :skull_and_crossbones:

It’s a hope for a love that doesn’t currently exist

You should check out Metallica’s Unforgiven series, Part 1,2 and 3. The songs tackle the lead singer’s personal demons (abuse) and his coping as he grows older. Excellent songs, too.

One of my favorite Slipknot songs! Great reaction and interpretation! I can’t wait for part 2.
This song hits me a little bit different. My girlfriend died 4 years ago and this song took on a new meaning.

Part two is really sad and will quite possibly creep you out.

Well, since you are a therapist, you MUST react to Tool - Schism. Perfect fit.

7:00 that actually makes sense, at some point in my past years since my last relationship I been feeling quite lost and feeling like I need something to get me through things I guess idk… I kinda feel confused cause it makes me feel stuck and mad at myself that I feel I wasted years worrying about my past … PS that was in 2013 it ended if memory is correct

Therapist, you complete me! Have a great day!

Not sure where you got this whole ‘ghost’ premise (ghosts are notorious for sleeping lol), but forget that and reassess.
EDIT: 06:00 There you go.
