Slipknot - Wait And Bleed Song MeaningsLyrics:I've felt the hate rise up in me... Kneel down and clear the stone of leaves... I wander out where you can't see... Inside my shell, ... (See the rest of these lyrics) Submitted by: anonymous Added: 2006-02-11 17:47:35 Rating:  Wait and Bleed is about a man who is dreaming that he is lying in a bathtub bleeding to death from his wrists. As the song progresses, the man realizes that he, in fact, isn't dreaming, and he just "waits and bleeds".
Submitted by: anonymous Question??? How do you know that it was a guy in a bath tub j/w
Submitted by: anonymous When he says ''in my shell'' that's just anouther way of saying bathtub.
Submitted by: anonymous Ok moron, did you ever think that maybe in fact his shell, is his fucking body!!!
Submitted by: anonymous No, actaully it IS a bathtub...the only reason we know this is because the guy who first posted it got it from the Slipknot website...soo yea...it's a bathtub.
Submitted by: sicslipknotxx You're all stupid. If you go to the Slipknot website, Corey says that he attempted suicide in a bathtub by slitting his wrists and wrote Wait and Bleed based off of that. Go to metabolic666.com and look it up. I'm the biggest maggot there is
Submitted by: sicslipknotxx Ok, this song is about Corey's story. He attempted suicide by slitting his wrists in a bathtub. Its on the website. www.metabolic66.com. go there. I'm the biggest maggot ever.
Submitted by: anonymous Actually, when you look at what he said and then look at the lyrics...it makes sense. Go look.
Submitted by: anonymous I honestly think that when any band writes a song they write it based on their feelings, an inncident etc...
Submitted by: anonymous I believe this song is about Corey wanting to have sex with his girlfriend, but he can't because she is on her period. Therefore, he must "wait" while she "bleeds". This also makes sense, because when he has an orgasm, his hair is standing straight up.
Submitted by: questioner13 Yea the interpretation is pretty much scattered around here so it'd be a waste of time to just repeat what you all said, so um.....Ya
Submitted by: anonymous Yeah, I agree with the first guy..... He makes a lot of sence... And plus corey said it himself... Go to black-goat.com.... It will tell you and plus I'm like the biggest female maggot out there fuck you all and I hope you get hit by a car and die a verry painful slow....Agonizing death... Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha I laugh at you all!!!!!
Submitted by: Disasterpiece He is right about the interpretation but this guy is a jackass. He just took it off another site.
Submitted by: anonymous yea you shouldn't post song meanings from other sites if you go to a site that has people talking about them. we all have our own interpretations on what songs mean that is what makes if fun to post on this site to begin with

Submitted by: anonymous I may be wrong, but I had recently a source on "Wait and Bleed." In an interview from Slipknot, the song has no meaning. It just depends on whoever is reading it. It being abbout a suicide is just a rumor.
Submitted by: anonymous Who ever thinks this song is about a guy who wants to have sex with his girlfriend but can't because she is on her period is a friken idiot!!! Listen to the lyrics and he is in a bath tub it is Corey's story. HELLO!
Submitted by: anonymous From what I've read off of other websites, Wait and Bleed is basically about a man bleeding to death from slit wrists. If you pay attention, the song sounds somewhat hypnotic. The person who is bleeding to death is experiencing a hypnotic affect from being isolated. There is a certain type of person who likes to be isolated, because it is relaxing for them. This song portrays that bit of relaxation in a very grim way. Also, there is a lot of fear portrayed in the song, because the person bleeding to death knows that he is leaving everything in his life behind, thus Corey's scream of "goodbye!". The song also leaves a statement about suicide, how instead of bleeding to death you could have spent that time recovering from whatever was getting you down. Now about the lyrics, I think when Corey sings "inside my shell I wait and bleed", the person's shell refers to isolation, because the person bleeding to death is by himself. It could also mean that the person either can't help himself from bleeding to death or doesn't want to, and just watches himself from his "shell", or his mind, bleeding to death. In the first verse after the opening chorus, there is a lot of panic and self loathing. This maybe portrays the feelings of one who is slowly dying. There is panic because the person dying doesn't want to die. Thus, there is a lot of build up as the person starts to die. This can be quite true with most cases of suicide. What usually happens is right before the person dies from committing suicide, he or she thinks "oh god, what have I done", because when they are finally faced with the situation in which they really are going to die, they are suddenly hit with the fact that they are saying goodbye to EVERYTHING. The first verse uses imagery to describe the shock and panic the person feels when he is suddenly faced with the situation in which he is going to die. In the first verse, Corey screams "I wipe it off on tile","My eyes are red and gold", and "How the hell did I get here". The next verse after the second chorus is about how the person dying is being brain washed as he slowly bleeds to death. Corey screams about being a "victim" and a "Manchurian candidate". The third verse is the rush of panic as the person realizes suddenly that he is about to die and says goodbye to everything in his life. Thus, the verse opens up with a new guitar line and Corey's scream of "goodbye!". "You haven't learned a thing, I haven't changed a thing, the flesh was in my bones, the pain was always free" basically means the person dying is acknowledging and feeling an extremely powerful feeling of guilt about the fact that he just watched himself bleed to death, and that any hope he had of stopping the bleeding was gone. Finally, the last chorus is sung with a deep growl in the back of Corey's voice to indicate that the person's life is about to end.
Submitted by: anonymous I would like to make a change to my interpretation. I no longer believe this song is about suicide. It is often imagined that right before someone dies from committing suicide, the person regrets it. However, most experts on suicide, who have interviewed people who tried to kill themselves, claim that people who commit suicide think no such thing, and that they were dead set on killing themselves. Because the song portrays a lot of panic and denial over the fact that the person is going to die, the song is not about suicide. Rather, the song is about a person who bleeds to death against his will. In addition, the lyrics to the song do not explicitly state that the person is bleeding to death from slit wrists. Even if other websites state that bleeding from the wrists is what the song is about, how does one know that the site got this information from a reliable source? And even if the site claims to have used the most reliable source one can think of (ex. a quote from the song writer himself), how does one know that the site is just making this up to get credibility? The lyrics are the most credible source for the meaning of the song, and the lyrics merely state "inside my shell I wait and bleed". He might have won a knife fight on the street and bled to death before he could help himself, or got shot by a motorcyclist and bled to death, or who knows. Something along those lines. The rest of my interpretation seems accurate. The bottom line is I no longer think that the song is about suicide and the person bleeding to death isn't necessarily bleeding to death from slit wrists.
Submitted by: anonymous Ok, I'm not even a slipknot fan, I don't consider myself a maggot, this is one of the few songs I actually like by them seeing that I'm a christian and proud of it. but I don't need to be a maggot to realize what this song is saying. It has nothing to do with suicide...well in a way it does, but not normal suicide, but it can lead to his death. He is talking about preforming a ritual in a graveyard and being possessed after summoning a demon, its kinda obvious. Though I'm not satanic, I no a lot about it. If he was committing suicide in a bath tube, explain why the chorus say "I felt the hate rise up in me,kneel down clear the stone and leaves, I wonder out were you can't see."? you can't find the meaning of a song by one line"inside my shell I wait and bleed" and even that line suggests being possessed. wen your possessed, your not you, you have no control over yourself, your basically just a puppet of the demon, nothing but a shell. and for the rest of it, if you haven't realized, demons aren't the happiest things in the world, so if you were possessed, don't you think you would feel nothing but hatred? that's all demons are about, hatred and evil, I would no, I've seen them.then "kneel down clear the stones and leaves. There clearing a spot to preform the ritual. I've never done this, but I pretty much know the basics, find a graveyard(hence the fact that there would be spirits), draw a pentagram on the ground, put burning candles at the 5 points, and begin the ceremony of summoning demons. To do this, you would need to clear out a spot on the ground" clear the stones and leaves". He wonders out in the graveyards were he won't be seen "I wonder out were you can't see". now for the verses, "my eyes are red and gold, my hair is standing strait up, this is not the way I pictured me, I can't control my shakes, how the hell did I get here, something about this so very wrong, I have to laugh out loud, I wish I didn't like this". ok so far this whole song has been pretty self explanatory but w/e. His eyes are red and gold and his hair is standing up because HE IS GETTING POSSEsSED NOT DIEING! DUH =p. That doesn't happen if your dieing in a bath tube lol. why would you hair stand up?lmfao yall are dumb.just listen to the song.i can't control my shakes? you wouldn't shake uncontrollably if your were dying from lack of blood.... you would be DRAINED OF ENERGY, YOU COULDN'T SHAKE AROUND IF U WANTED TO! MUCH LESS UNCONTROLLABLY.
