Track 5 on Slipknot’s self-titled debut. Much like the other songs on the album, it discusses misanthropy and hatred. When played live, it is announced as “your new national anthem.”
Surfacing is one of Corey’s favorite song. According to this video, Corey says that if he were a wrestler, this woul...
[Intro: Corey Taylor & Chris Fehn]
Fuck you all! (All)
[Verse 1: Corey Taylor]
Running out of ways to run
I can't see, I can't be
Over and over and under my skin
All this attention is doing me in
[Chorus: Corey Taylor with Chris Fehn]
Fuck it all! Fuck this world!
Fuck everything that you stand for!
Don't belong! Don't exist!
Don't give a shit! Don't ever judge me!
[Verse 2: Corey Taylor]
Picking through the parts exposed
Taking shape, taking shag
Over and over and under my skin
All this momentum is doing me in
[Chorus: Corey Taylor with Chris Fehn]
Fuck it all! Fuck this world!
Fuck everything that you stand for!
Don't belong! Don't exist!
Don't give a shit! Don't ever judge me!
[Post-Chorus: Corey Taylor]
And don't you fucking judge me!
Burn!
[Bridge: Corey Taylor]
You got all my love, livin; in your own hate
Drippin' hole, man, hard step, no fate
Show you nothin', but I ain't holdin' back
Every damn word I say is a sneak attack
When I get my hands on you
Ain't a fucking thing you can do
Get this, 'cause you're never gonna get me
I am the very disease you pretend to be
I am the push that makes you move
I am the push that makes you move
I am the push that makes you move
I am the push that makes you move
[Chorus: Corey Taylor with Chris Fehn]
Fuck it all! Fuck this world!
Fuck everything that you stand for!
Don't belong! Don't exist!
Don't give a shit! Don't ever judge me!
Fuck it all! Fuck this world!
Fuck everything that you stand for!
Don't belong! Don't exist!
Don't give a shit! Don't ever judge me!
[Post-Chorus: Corey Taylor]
Burn!
Surfacing was written by Sid Wilson & Craig Jones & Chris Fehn & Corey Taylor & Mick Thomson & Joey Jordison & Paul Gray & Shawn Crahan.
Surfacing was produced by Slipknot & Ross Robinson.
It basically encompasses everything. Kind of encompasses the attitude of the band and the attitude of how we feel about life: Don’t judge me. Everything that you think that you know about the world, and about Slipknot, and about your own life, might not be the case. So I think it’s just openmindedne...
