The narrative of the two “Vermilion” songs is ostensibly about a killer and his victim, but the subtext suggests that the victim is merely a personification of an ideal quality that the narrator does not or cannot ever possess. She could also embody addiction; a craving that can never be sated, or i...
Vermilion, Pt. 2 Lyrics
[Verse 1]
She seemed dressed in all of me
Stretched across my shame
All the torment and the pain
Leaked through and covered me
[Pre-Chorus]
I'd do anything to have her to myself
Just to have her for myself
Now I don't know what to do
I don't know what to do
When she makes me sad
[Verse 2]
She is everything to me
The unrequited dream
A song that no one sings
The unattainable
[Pre-Chorus]
She's a myth that I have to believe in
All I need to make it real is one more reason
I don't know what to do
I don't know what to do
When she makes me sad
[Chorus]
But I won't let this build up inside of me
I won't let this build up inside of me
I won't let this build up inside of me
I won't let this build up inside of me
[Bridge]
I catch in my throat, choke
Torn into pieces
I won't, no
I don't want to be this
[Chorus]
But I won't let this build up inside of me
(I won't let this build up inside of me)
I won't let this build up inside of me
(I won't let this build up inside of me)
I won't let this build up inside of me
(I won't let this build up inside of me)
I won't let this build up inside of me
[Outro]
(I won't let this build up inside of me)
(I won't let this build up inside of me)
(I won't let this build up inside of me) She isn't real
(I won't let this build up inside of me) I can't make her real
(I won't let this build up inside of me) She isn't real
(I won't let this build up inside of me) I can't make her real

What inspired Corey Taylor to write this song?
That song was on a demo that Paul [Gray, bassist] and Joey [Jordison, drummer] put together. For some reason, as soon as I heard it, all I could see was the colour red. I love the idea of creating a world from the standpoint of a stalker. I was trying to recreate that dark urgency and desperate need...
