In a maelstrom of raw emotion and existential dread, Slipknot delivers a haunting narrative of isolation and inner turmoil. The protagonist wrestles with the demons within, seeking validation in a world that feels indifferent. The lyrics paint a picture of someone who has been hardened by life's relentless battles, yet finds no solace even after vanquishing their foes. This orphaned spirit grapples with identity and purpose, feeling alienated and misunderstood. The song's visceral intensity reflects the struggle to break free from societal expectations and personal anguish, ultimately revealing a monstrous resilience born from pain. It's an anthem for the disenchanted, those who feel like outcasts in their own skin, screaming for recognition in a landscape that seems to offer none.
Orphan
Lyrics
I wept!
When I realized
There were no more demons left to conquer
An opportunity to show my feelings
With skin so thick you'd swear it was armor
A penitentiary that only lets the oxygen out
I wasn't ready for a version of the truth to get out
I'm getting desperate, I wouldn't want to fester
In another bad dream, I am a man of extremes?
I found the flesh and I'm liking it
I'll put an end to all the fucking psychobabble
We eat the meat 'cause the meat had a soul
We take the lives 'cause to hurt makes us whole
I am not the same
You never had a clue or knew my name
You wanna know the story? take my pain
I am ready, the lie is heard
I am not the same
You never had intent to keep my blame
You really wanna know who the fuck I am?
I am the orphan, the one who killed your world
Keeping up appearances with acts of attrition
It doesn't matter 'cause I know you'll never listen
Before, you knew it when you saw it
Now you say you never knew it, it was all a big conspiracy
We came together when the hands of fate let go
Is there anybody left to fill this hole?
This shit will never wash off
Give yourself a medal, I swear I fucking give up
We're nothing special, just an accidental tweak of the freak
An evolution of the kennel in the fetish you seek
There's still a part of me that's dying in a dumpster
The one who rose is a motherfucking monster
I've seen the future, and it's simply burning!
I wasn't put here to be so discerning!
You want the world to be dissatisfied?!
You don't care, so why the fuck should I?
Fuck, should I sell myself to stay alive?
I am not the same
You never had a clue or knew my name
You wanna know the story? take my pain
I am ready, the lie is heard
I am not the same
You never had intent to keep my blame
You really wanna know who the fuck I am?
I am the orphan, the one who kills
The one who kills your world
Everyone has something
Someone here has everything
Everyone has something
Someone here has everything
Everyone has something
Someone here has everything
Everyone has something
Someone here has everything
Everyone has something
Someone here has everything
Everyone has something
Someone here has everything
Tell me all about it
I love to hear it
The way I ruin everything I touch
I never thought I'd get to say I'm sorry
But then again I think you ask too much
Too white to be black
Too black to be blue
Too sick to be me
Too fucked to be you
I only wonder if I'll live to see the end of the road
It always gets me nowhere
I am not the same
You never had a clue or knew my name
You wanna know the story, take my pain
I am ready, the lie is heard
I am not the same
You never had intent to keep my blame
You really wanna know who the fuck I am?
I am the orphan, the one who kills your world
Everyone has something
Someone here has everything
I am the orphan, the one who kills
Everyone has something
Someone here has everything
I am the orphan, the one who kills
Yeah, hahahaha
