Me Inside
Slipknot · Slipknot [1999]
Inside! Inside!
Inside! Inside!
Inside! Inside!
Giving in to what has got me
Feeling claustrophobic, scarred
Severed me from all emotion
Life is just too fucking hard
Snap! Your face was all it took
Coz this need ain't doin' me no good
Fall on my face, but can't you see?
This fucking life is killing me!
Tearing me - Inside
Tearing me - Inside
Tearing me - Inside
Tearing me - Inside
Too far gone, I'm catatonic
Leaving you to criticize
Empty shell and running naked
All alone...Lobotomized
Back and forth between my hang-ups
It isn't easy to be hated
Where do ya go? Whaddaya do?
Simpleton, impromptu, crazy eight
I never cared, not once
Gotta get away!
Tearing me - Inside
Tearing me - Inside
Tearing me - Inside
Tearing me - Inside
I wasn't promised a thing
You keep mocking me
But you will never again
Before you know it - After you're gone
Gone
Somos feos apestamos y pero reinamos oto muthafucka
I wasn't promised a thing
You keep mocking me
But you will never again
Before you know it - After you're gone
Gone
Gone
Gone
Me Inside
Released on Slipknot's 1999 debut album, 'Me Inside' stands as a defining track of the band's early industrial metal evolution. The song exemplifies the group's signature approach, blending aggressive riffs with chaotic, dissonant textures that pushed the boundaries of heavy music. Featuring the distinctive vocal style of core member Jim Root, the recording captures the raw energy and experimental spirit of the late 1990s metal scene. As a cornerstone of Slipknot's discography, the track established a sonic template that would influence countless subsequent acts in the nu-metal and extreme metal genres. Its enduring power lies in its ability to evoke intense psychological tension through its relentless rhythm and layered instrumentation.
