Look everybody was right except for the second guy, you know nothing! This song is about how he wants people to be themselves and that the people who don't are his "Plague" duh!!! and everything ends is about how he's trying to forget his ex-gilfriend and that everything will end foreer go away.

god!!!

Although all the sites say different, the way I interpreted it from just listening to it first hand was pretty much talking about bullying. Stuff like "I don't mind being ogled ridiculed made to feel minuscule, if you consider the source, its kinda pitiful" which is an excellent explanation of bullying, and stuff like "I know why you blame me, I know why you blame yourself" was to me saying that the reason they bully is because of problems they have with themselves.
Of course I agree with the other interpretations, but this is what I initially thought from the song

It's about posers
just like stone sour's
song "Through Glass" and
corey does not suck you fucking
piece of shit he actually tries
even if his throat hurts so shut the fuck up

Corey basically has a plague which is the people trying to be like him. In other words just be your self and have self respect. Also that is what the coolest thing is, not to give a shit who you are as long as you love and respect yourself.
Popular people love you for what you are, not who you are.

P.S: Corey probably has incredibly strong vocal cords and does not suck. He puts the risk of snapping his vocal cords and never being able to speak again for the rest of his life just for our entertainment. So cheer for him, respect him and give him what he deserves.

Also it is best to stand out.
Just be yourself - the basic meaning.

OKAY, YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT COREY SUCKS?
Go listen to 9.0...
He does not sound that different minus the fact that its live so it is going to sound different.
When you're recording in a studio, you record parts of the song at a time, and they do digitally enhance some parts because some tings might lose power after a while.
As for the song, I agree with all of your interpretations.
But I really absolutely agree with the bullying one.
It makes perfect sense to me.

yes I do agree with all the above interpretations, but the fact that corey's screams are digitally enhanced is bullshit, listen to them live, they sound almost the same as on the CD. Everything in studio is enhanced to make it have a cleaner sound, you must be retarded to think that they're enhanced just becuase corey can't scream... He can

From black-goat.com:
Corey is pissed and fed up from posers. The quote "Kill you fuck you I will never be you" is directed to followers. People who are not being themselves, and trying to fit in by acting like someone else. The quote “I know why you plague me” basically means that he knows why people are fucking with him and he is sick of it and of all the posers in this world; people doing things for popularity and so on. The quote “I'll reach in and take a bite out of that shit you call a heart,” is just warning everyone not to push him any further or else he will snap and kill him. The quote “I know why you plague (yourself)” is informing the person that he knows why he is messing around with him, and that he has had enough and he cannot be pushed around any longer.

When I first heard this song, I thought that it was about a bully that was just trying to fit into the crowd. Not really being himself. The lyric "I know why you plague me, I know why you plague yourself," is basically saying that I know why you do this to me and your doing this to yourself because your not staying true to yourself your not being real. "Kill you fuck you I'll never be you," is saying that I don't want to become someone like you because your not real and you copy others to get attention. Then again, this is my interpretation.
