Track 8 on Iowa, “Left Behind” was the 2nd single release on the album. It was nominated for the 2002 Grammy for Best Metal Performance (won by Tool – Schism).
The song is notably more melodic than the majority of Iowa, highlighted by its use of clean vocals and lack of profanity.
#The song is NO...
[Verse 1]
I've known faces that have disappeared in time
Find me wrapped in glass and slowly soaked in lime
All my friends have pictures made to make you cry
I've seen this and wondered what I've done to calcify...
[Chorus]
(I ignore you)
As I close my eyes, I feel it all slipping away
(I come toward you)
We all got left behind, we let it all slip away
(I ignore you)
As I close my eyes, I feel it all slipping away
(I come toward you)
We all got left behind, we let it all slip away
[Verse 2]
I can't stand to see your thalidomide robot face
I don't even try it!
You had to be a liar just to infiltrate me
I'm still drowning
[Chorus]
(I ignore you)
As I close my eyes, I feel it all slipping away
(I come toward you)
We all got left behind, we let it all slip away
(I ignore you)
As I close my eyes, I feel it all slipping away
(I come toward you)
We all got left behind, we let it all slip away
[Bridge]
Take this away
Take this away
I can feel it on my mouth
I can taste you on my fingers
I can hear you like the Holy Ghost
And kill you if you get too close
[Chorus]
(I ignore you)
As I close my eyes, I feel it all slipping away
(I come toward you)
We all got left behind, we let it all slip away
(I ignore you)
As I close my eyes, I feel it all slipping away
(I come toward you)
We all got left behind, we let it all slip away
[Outro]
We let it all slip away
We let it all slip away
We let it all slip away
We let it all slip away
We let it all slip away
We let it all slip away

Corey Taylor has said:
”Left Behind is a song about a time of my life that was really hard, I was homeless. And I was living under a bridge over by Southwest 9th in Des Moines. Not that anybody would know here. I was living under a bridge with some friends of mine, and it’s funny how many people yo...
