Slipknot: The Virus of Life Meaning

The Virus of Life Lyrics

I can see you but you can't see me
I could touch you and you wouldn't even feel me
Wait a second and you'll settle down
I'm just waiting, 'til you really let your guard down?
Your relaxed, your sublime, your amazing
You don't even know...

   Play it backwards it has a message. I like it. It does kinda go with what the dude about rape said... The backwards message I mean...

   This interpretation has been marked as poor. view anyway

   In my opinion this song is about sex; maybe even rape.
   The protagonist watches the person he wants so badly all the time, maybe he's a stalker or something. (what would fit to vermillion and vermillion pt 2)
   Then he takes what he wants by force.
   I think the further lines are really the act of having sex, just kindly intensively described from the view of a man^^
   "I'm going to empty you and fill you in with me
   not yet - don't make a sound
   oh god, I'm feeling it
   it's reaching fever pitch"
   I think that points to the arousal he's feeling and he's trying to hold it back but then he comes.
   When Corey's voice is getting louder I think he's had his orgasm.^^
   
   Apart from this 'virus of life' could fit also to sex, since sex is the source of life...
   That's my interpretation, if you listen to the song thinking of it, you might see that it kinda matches..

   I think this song is about the people that continuously search for the meaning of life and never actually live... The virus is only curable by death, and death is always stalking you. The one inside you that actually finds fulfillment in life. Kind of Rhyme of Ancient Mariner shit. Living death is actually constantly being fearful of the grim reaper's pussy ass.

   I believe this song is about a man stalking his ex who he has become completely obsessed with. And he follows her wherever she goes. And he is planning on either killing her, or having his way with her... or both...
