Slipknot - Pulse of the Maggots Meaning

Pulse of the Maggots Lyrics

This is the year where hope fails you
The test subjects run the experiments
And the bastards you know, is the hero you hate
But cohesing is posssible if we strive
Theres no reason, theres no lesson
No time like the present, telling you right...

   Well I think if you say that the song sucks U R a fucking faggot and not a maggot. And the song was meant for the fans and if you think that the song was against government listen to the words

   In my own interpretation it is about how the fans should stand up for others I mean fuck they go crazy in the mosh pits and concerts why not go crazy on some bullies?

   I actually read an article about this song. It was quite interesting. It's about a bunch of fucking gothic fucks who slit their wrists, do massive amounts of drugs and listen to shitty bands like slipknot, cradle of filth, lamb of god, arch enemy and other incredibly shitty music. The music gets them so pissed at life that they will fuck dogs in the ass because they realize that they will never get any pussy because they, to be honest, are complete fucking idiots with no taste in music or woman. Thank you for your time, and good dog fucking.

   This song is for both things and you have to leave it like that, but rebellion maybe is not the meaning maybe if for the ones you could give your life, even if you failed, well you tried

   I agree with first dude.this song is totally about them staying together for the fans."say it again say it again,WE WONT DIE"suports that reasoning.It also means to me anyway that even if they do break up they will allway be lurking in the shadows ready to jump out at the music industries

   I've heard a lot of people saying that "pulse of the maggots" is about loyalty to the fans. But corey taylor is all about anti-establishment, so it could also be about rebelling against the government.
   
   Just because people say a song has one meaning doesn't mean your meaning is automatically wrong.

   Slipknot is all about the struggle for immortality and they hint it in every single one of their songs.

    That sucks. I thought this song was against government and all normal people and stuff. Now it sucks. What a homo subject for a song.

    It's that the band fed off the credit from their fands to become popular.
