I think this great song talks about the relationship between god and the man.

The first lines that make me think this are:

"I wanna dig inside, find a little bit of me
Cuz the line gets crossed when you don't come clean"

I think he's saying that the person has died and god is judging him/her to decide if he/she will go to heaven or to hell. He's looking for something good in the person's soul, "a little bit oh Him", because if He doesn't find this, the lines will get crossed; the person will go to hell.

Then we have:

"Youll never get out, coz you were never alive"

The person was never alive, he lived a bad life, he sinned, so now he's on hell, and will stay there forever.

"I am infinite, I am the infant finite"

God doesn't have limits, he's infinite, and the human is just his child, with no powers, is the infant finite.

"Come a little closer and Ill show you why"

It seems that God's challenging the person to prove this.

At the end of the song we have:

"Take a look - inside - my soul is missing"

The person is dead. His body is all that's left on Earth, his soul has gone to God's sake.

"All I have is dead, so Ill take you with me"

God's realm is made of souls, of dead people.

My final confirmation is this:

"(DIE) is there another way to live?"

The only way to "live", to be in heaven, is dying.

"(LIVE) cause is the only way to die"

The only way to die is to live first.

I hope you'll think about it. I'm 14 and I'm from Argentina and this is just my interpretation.

Yea it actually is about a bully Corey was victimized by in his high school. In slipknots first 2 albums Corey pretty much bashes all the shit he did in the past. Vol. 3 and All hope is gone is when he gets into deeper meanings like god and love... That's why there is such a big difference because of 2 different meanings not because he can't scream anymore (not really relevant to the song but I saw that on a different song somebody was making fun of Corey's voice so yea I put it on this one)
