It's all about how and what they stand for like the one guy said that you shuld be your self and I highly believe in that.

Don't get me wrong or nothing but what I stand for is basically everything because kids hate me a lot and I just don't care,but when they are spreading lies about you,then you have to do something about it.

The very first person who posted what this song means is 100% correct. Listen to the song. It basically says you're the type of person that doesn't like to be judged and you don't care what people think about you. It's really that simple.

It's our motherfucking international anthem where you shouldn't have to give a fuck and be judged by others. It's about people like us standing our ground and if you're a real maggot you're doin' the right thing by staying true to your self. It's about the opinions people have for you when they don't know you or understand you. It's a BIG "FUCK YOU" to the whole World and the music industry. FUCK IT ALL! FUCK THIS WORLD! FUCK EVERYTHING THAT YOU STAND FOR! DON'T BELONG! DON'T EXISTS! DON'T GIVE A SHIT! DON'T EVER JUDGE ME!

...and don't you fuckin' judge me

The whole basis behind the meaning of Surfacing is that they're trying to say that you really shouldn't give a fuck, or be judged by others. That you shouldn't have to answer to "anything or anyone." As part of their show, Slipknot dedicates the song to corrupt rock stars. The song is known as the "new national anthem." The lyrics "Fuck it all, fuck this world, fuck everything that you stand for, don't belong, don't exist, don't give a shit, don't ever judge me!" are the words of a generation.

I think this song is right out saying that anyone and every one that tries to get in your way of doing something just FUCK YOU for ever counting me out! your a fuckin heretic!

I believe by intense research, this is about his piece of shit father. Coreys bullshit life has "surfaced on that particular album". He is saying basically look at me now you fuck...i struggled and lived a bullshit life, fuck you and everyone like you. read the lyrics, its obvious, shit he lived under a bridge, running out of ways to run...this to meis the best slipknot song ever, fuckin deep...
