Slipknot: Purity Meaning

Purity Lyrics

Maze... psychopathic daze... I create this waste
Back away from tangents, on the verge of drastic
Ways... can't escape this place... I deny your face
Sweat gets in my eyes, I think I'm slowly dying

Put me in a homemade cellar
Put me in a...

   Hollywood? What the fuck are you talking about? Everyone above you is right, but the only thing is that the girl in the song wasn't a real person.

   I think this song is about someone or maybe even the band members themselves got lost in hollywood. Maybe whoever they are talking about got hurt in hollywood and is trying to find their way back to life and people they once knew but the lights and streets have them held down. But also theirs a feling that the person dosen't want to leave cause they are addicted to the concrete abuse that make s the feel batter which they resive form the strets of hollywood.. The streets they fear and can't live with out much like the invisble subcouncious of a co-dependent relationship.

   Purity -Back To Top
   This track also has an intro, it is "Frail Limb Nursary" and is highly misunderstood. It is a compilation of samples taken from the Crime Scene site that first inspired Corey to change the demo "Despise" into "Purity" It's basically a clip of Purity telling a story to the young boy who took care of her while she was buried. He would bring her food in exchange for her telling him extravagant stories.
   The song Purity was written when Corey came across a website located at http://www.crimescene.com/purity/index.html It told the story of Adrianne Purity Knight, a 20 year old college student who was stalked by an obsessed ex-lover. Eventually, this man ended up burying young Purity in a homemade wooden box alive. She died. Shawn: It's like this- whether it's real or not, it affected Corey very much, the thought of it- so it was able to influence him- the song is not directly one hundred percent about it.
   
   Corey: "I still think its real -see the thing whether it's true or not, it's a real story- that we read about -that fucked our whole world up -can you imagine a girl being buried in a box and having all this lecherous bullshit drip down on her from this guy? and thinking that there is hope, because this kid is taking some bizarre note to this guy he doesn't even know- thinking that you are holding on to the shirt of hope -and you wake up and you're dead you're buried in mud -they find the note about a week later shoved in a library book for gods sakes -it just hurts your head- it's a case of what is good and bad in people- the box alone is reason enough to be like, 'I can't stand to be fucking human'- how can someone fucking do this to somebody? What is inside of us that is so fucking wrong? he had written quotes from Edgar Allen Poe and lots of fucked up things on the box."

   You're kind of right. It wasn't her boyfriend it was a person that she turned down I think, it was a stalker, it ways it on the website. Purity Knight was a 19 year old colledge student and was kidnapped the reason why people can' find this on a SLipknot album is because they got sued for the song and also the song Frail Limb Nursery, which has a girl whop knew purity talking in it. They put it on their self titled album. I have the album and it's kick ass but after they got sued they put me inside as it's replace ment. like tattered and torn it really has no meaning. It's just how he feels.
