Slipknot - Solway Firth

Mitä enemmän kuuntelen niin sitä paremmaksi tuo vaan muuttuu.
Käsittämättömän loistava biisi. Kaikin tavoin. Varsinkin sanoitukset ja laulu. Kun tietää mistä sanoitukset kertovat niin koko biisi saa aivan uuden merkityksen ja sen ymmärtää aivan uudella tasolla. (youtubesta löytyy analyysi kappaleesta)


Slipknot - Solway Firth

[Intro]
Today, up on this hill, I'm counting all the killers
They sway as they swarm, a look of gluttons in their eyes
They mutter as the body loses warmth
They pick your bones like locks inside a tomb
And take great care to not take care of you
Here’s an unexplainable one
Here's an unexplainable one

[Verse 1]
While I was learning to live, we all were living a lie
I guess you got what you wanted
So I will settle for a slaughterhouse soaked in blood and betrayal
It's always somebody else, somebody else was me
You want the real smile?
Or the one I used to practice not to feel like a failure?

[Chorus]
I don’t need you to do it for me
I don't need you to understand
I don't need you to hide it from me
I just wanna feel like any other man
I won't show you the whole story
I won't show you the aftermath
I won't show you my allegory
Don't look away, here's an unexplainable one

[Post-Chorus]
Here’s an unexplainable one
Here’s an unexplainable one

[Verse 2]
I'm not ahead of my time, I just drew the first breath
If I’m alive tomorrow
I will alleviate the pressure by cutting you out of me
I found my bottom line dead on the front lines
I know I'll never go home
So set fire to your ships and past regrets and be free

[Chorus]
I don't need you to do it for me
I don't need you to understand
I don’t need you to hide it from me
I just wanna feel like any other man
I won't show you my whole story
I won't show you the aftermath
I won't show you my allegory
Don't look away, here's an unexplainable one

[Post-Chorus]
What have you done?
What have you done?
Yeah
[Outro]
Oh, while I was learning to live, you taught me how to die
I guess I got what I wanted
Another needle in the back through purified scarification
It wasn't somebody else, you fucking did it to me
You want a real smile?
I haven't smiled in years
