Slipknot - Vermilion Pt. 2 Song Meanings

She seemed dressed in all of me
Stretched across my shame
All the torment and the pain
Leaked through and covered me
I'd do anything t...

The vocalist is obsessed with someone but he can't seem to get this person because she either doesn't exist or is too perfect for him, and only him.

"A song that no one sings...the unattainable"...but he's not letting it get to him..."but I won't let this build up inside of me. She isn't real. I can't make her real..."

I personally think that most of this album is about sitting on your ass and not making your dreams come true.
The lyric "All I need to make it real is one more reason" sums it up. In other words the female represents the idea whether it be a female your in love with or just a dream you have that you want to make real but you talk yourself out of it and come up with excuse after excuse why you can't do it but convince yourself that if you have just one more good reason then you'll go for it. And of course it's a never ending cycle- "All I need is one more reason..." "...Just one more..." "...O.k. That one wasn't good enough, give me one more..."

In part one the girl is ignored by everyone. The people are rushing past her and she can't get their attention. I think that may lead into part 2. I think the girl is dead because she committed suicide by jumping over the bridge she keeps on leaning over in part one. She may have killed herself because she was depressed and alone. That is why the butterfly is part of it. She needs something to keep her company so she waits for the butterfly to come out of its cacoon but it keeps on flying away every time she catches it. And in part 2 she is floating around because she is either trying to find someone -possibly the butterfly?- or because she is finally at peace and she is trying to fly around?

Or she could be a figment of someone's imagination- possibly an alter ego or an imaginary person someone put together- and that is why in part one it says that she makes him sad and "I can't make her real". She may make him sad because she isn't real and he wants her to be, and in part two it keeps on saying "I can't make her real" just like it does in part one.

I don't know. Just trying to make a little sense of what is in my twisted head

I think the song is not all about a girl whom she taught to be perfect for him like a dream girl or a soul mate or anything that is synonymous to it. I think its a song of love slowly transitioning to hatred.
