Slipknot - Duality Song Meanings

Lyrics:
I push my fingers into my eyes...
It's the only thing that slowly stops the ache...
But it's made of all the things I have to take...
Jesu...

This song became the most popular and well known track from Slipknot's album, Volume 3: The Subliminal Verses. In the song, the band shows the struggle to stay together even though it is so close to falling apart, but the band stays together for their fans.

"duality is about standing at the crossroads of your life, looking down both paths, and going, 'now what am I going to do?'"

Yeah, you're both kind of right.

Stop it with the fake Corey business, it's really fucked up.

It's about thinking that one's future seems to be like his past because he didn't learn from it!

Duality is about how you push your fingers into your eyes when you have a headache or migrane. ( but its made of all teh things I have to take) refers to his medicine/pills.

Try not to take any lyrics too seriously. everyone has their own interpretation of each song depending on who they are.

Hey guys, take it easy on the guy who wrote that it's about a migraine.
No interpretations are wrong.
But I do HIGHLY doubt that's what they meant the song to be about.
Leave the interpretations up to the listeners and fans.
It's all how you chose to look at it.

To me the song talks about how hard one's life can be,and the struggle of trying to make it better. Maybe I'm wrong,but that doesn't matter. It's what I think that counts.Stay[sic]

I think its both the cross roads and the headache of making the right decision and being unsure about what one you should choose so you have a headache from a very difficult decision in your life. But who cares what I think?

Hey, cut the guy some slack. I read somewhere that Corey said that the song was about the headache thing as well, though it probably isn't creditable without a source citation. Stop crediting people without citations, you are uncreditable without it. Don't believe any quotes you read on there that don't have a citation.

This song is pretty straight forward if you ask me, just look at the lyrics and you'll get a pretty damn good idea what the song is about. If there is a hidden meaning wait for Corey to come forward and say it, don't take someone else's word for it. Sometimes, songs are straight forword, there really doesn't need to be a hidden meaning behind everything.

"I push my finger into my eye" is referring to how one holds their head when they have a migraine. A migraine brought about by making hard decisions. By looking at yourself, and not liking what you see, as well as thinking about how you got there and how to change. That is what I believe the song is about.

Slipknot songs are hard to interpret. But I think that the song is about not giving up.

It's about anything really. It's about all the bullshit that anyone ever in their lives ever has to take and it never stops. Ever heard the phrase kill the mental pain with physical pain? You'd rather push your fingers into your eyes than put up with it

I think it is also about making decisions, but when you make them you may not get what you originally wanted. "I found out the hard way, nothing is what it seems."
