Ok first of all.......I need clear 1 thing up here .
Darkangel_x interpretation of this is complete bullshit . He obviously doesn't know what he's talking about . Joey wrote this song yes but he's not a gay emo fag . And the band murderdolls is a gothic band, not emo, so please, slipknot fans , rate his interpretation awful.

The song is about some1 peeling the skin of their arm and causing harm to themselves . But it is also about corey taylors ( the singers ) former drug and alcohol addiction . The lines "you want it , you need it " are talking about drugs. It's an extremely emotional and disturbing song .

The Scissors song is really hard to interpret well most of the metal songs are hard to interpret due to their cryptic nature anyway Ill give it a shot.The person (Corey) in this song seems to be suffering from dementia and Hence is locked in some psychiatric ward somewhere throughout the song He is trying to justify his past actions probably he murdered someone brutally in the past and he is giving reasons for his actions and He holds society responsible for everything.He keeps hearing Voices inside his head(she said don't hesitate just do what you have to do) which appear to be guiding him. In the end of the song it seems that He is desperately trying to escape from his captivity and waiting for the right moment to do so.

this song is about a mentally disturbed person cutting their skin open and inflicting pain on themself. he lays in his bed waiting to die from the injuries inflicted onto him by himself

Number 1, drummer Joey Jordison wrote the lyrics to the song Scissors. It seems as if the song is about a person peeling away his skin and cutting open his own body. Scissors is probably the most emotion-filled song anyone's ever heard. Some compare the end of the Slipknot CD to the end of KoRn's Daddy, because both vocalists go off completely. However, Jonathan Davis' whimpers are absolutely dogshit compared to Corey Taylor's screams of agony. Close to the end of the song, there is a lot of dispute of what is happening with there is coughing, laughing and so on. In my point of view, I think there are all watching some sort of porno with some woman eating shit. The coughing is actually Chris Fehn, because he is about to puke while watching the video.
