Slipknot - Vermilion Pt. 2 Meaning

Vermilion Pt. 2 Lyrics

She seemed dressed in all of me
Stretched across my shame
All the torment and the pain
Leaked through and covered me
I'd do anything to have her to myself
Just to have her for myself

Now I don't know what to do
I don't know what to...

   This song is a take off of the first which is all about a stalker and a girl that's being stalked. Go to the slipknot website metabolic666.com. I'm the biggest maggot ever.

   There is no story line behind this song. Corey is a really open person and he has told interviewers that this song is about his wife... not some bitch that he is trying to impress...

   He is trying to put up a perfect facade for this girl. He changes or acts different when he dosen't really mean to when she comes around. I think he is feeling bad about trying to make this person seem so perfect when really she is far from it. I think because he hates how people treat him and that's why he tryed to make her flawless less human as possible but in the end he sees she is opnly human and no ones perfect and to try to make someone perfect is just only dragging yourself down. So he is willing to accept the flaws and he won't let it bother him much anymore.

   Some people say someone isn't real because they are too perfect...besides, Corey wrote this song for his wife, Scarlet, hence the song gets the name Vermilion... btw... The Slipknot website said exactly what I wrote.

   Your close to Being Right, the girl isn't real it was a dream that he had about the girl and he desperately wanted her. "She isn't real" supports this. "But I won't let this build up inside of me." is another thing that helped this theory.
