Slipknot - Prosthetics Meaning

Prosthetics Lyrics

Even if you run... I will find you
I decided I want you
Now I know.... I need
If you can't be bought, tougher then I thought
Keep in mind - I am with you
Never left out fate, can't concentrate
Even if you run...

You will be mine!
Ah,...

   Yeah totally agree with the on the surface stuff, like yeah obession etc but kinda felt a subtext of governmental/media control, they watch us, control us, all our doors are locked etc. I duno, just something I felt coming thru

   He was convicted of statutory rape. He had sex with a minor, hence the line, "Dammit man I knew it was a mistake",
   The girl seduced his senses to the point to where he slept with her, hence,"You brought it out of me, Mistake!" Some of the phrases in the song are metaphores.

   Personally I think it's about a man who's fallen for a girl he flirts with to the point of obsession and kidnapped her, pulled her out the window and kept her in his house. He won't hurt her so long as he can have his way
   "Better make yourself at home
   You're here to stay
   You won't bother me... If you let me bother you"
   
   and he says that he watches her, so she shouldn't try to escape
   He can't let her go even though he knows it's wrong cause he'll be in the shit "what the fuck is different, I can't believe I'm doing this". I don't think he would blame her for running though, hence the line "Even if you run". This line doesn't really fit with the previous, so I understand it as he's talking to himself, like: I'll love you (Even if you run) or I'll be watching....
   I can see the correlation with The collector.

   I saw it as a perhaps a dream that he had seeing a bully leaning out his window, mocking him as he walked by. Corey didn't take a liking to it so he broke the window that came crashing down to soon sever his arms, hence Prosthetics. Makes sense to me that way.

   This interpretation has been marked as poor. view anyway

   Hey guy 3 above me, the Collector was made in the 1960's so before you call someone an idiot, pull your head out of your ass and go out and buy a brain stem

   This song is about a movie. But not the one you're talking about, I think. The movie is about a man obsessing over a woman, and when he can't have her, he kidnaps and murders her, so that she lives in only his memory, so that nobody else could have her. Its mainly just an Obsession/Murder song like Purity.

   This song is about a movie that moved Corey called the Collector. I personally love this song. It's awesome.
