Eyeore
Slipknot · 9.0: Live [2005]
Greet the can that I came from
Oh, the fucking sacred heart of Jesus
Blew it in the back room, feelin' like a real goon
step the fuck aside, man
I'm on - You're not
I am the great big mouth
I am the great big mouth
Burn!
Good riddance - Though I'm sad to say
I didn't get to kill you
Rhetoric - Better look both ways
I gotta get an arm through
Stain
What the fuck is up?
Get the fuck away, run if you want to
Innocent? You're a guilty conscience
Laugh last - Break through
Stain
Prepare, you fucker
Prepare, you fucker
Prepare, you fucker
Prepare, you fucker
I don't give a shit, bitch
I don't give a fuck, bitch
I don't understand, bitch
You don't matter
I don't give a fuck, man
I don't give a shit, man
I don't really care, man
I'm the super sized man
Fuck. Fuck you
You're
I am the great big mouth
Stupid fuck
Fuck. Fuck. Fuck
Stupid fuck
You fucking stupid fuck
Fuck
Fuck
Stupid
Fuck stupid fuck
(Take that motherfucker!)
Eyeore
Eyeore stands as a poignant song in Slipknot's expansive discography, capturing the band's signature intensity during their mid-2000s era. Originally released on the 2004 studio album Vol. 3: (The Subliminal Verses), the track is characterized by its melancholic atmosphere and dynamic shifts between heavy distortion and melodic restraint. This live recording from 2005 highlights the group's powerful stage presence and the raw energy that defined their performances during the tour supporting that record. The song reflects the band's ability to blend aggressive metal elements with more introspective songwriting, showcasing their evolution beyond their debut's chaotic noise. As part of their broader body of work, Eyeore remains a testament to Slipknot's capacity for emotional depth within a heavy metal framework, offering listeners a glimpse into their live capabilities at the height of their commercial momentum.
