Slipknot - Prosthetics Song Meanings

This song is about a movie that moved Corey called the Collector. I personally love this song. It's awesome.

To this idiot above me, prosthetics came out on slipknot self titled, which came out in 1999, how the hell can it be about a movie that came out in 2004 >

This song is about a movie. But not the one you're talking about, I think. The movie is about a man obsessing over a woman, and when he can't have her, he kidnaps and murders her, so that she lives in only his memory, so that nobody else could have her. Its mainly just an Obsession/Murder song like Purity.

Hey guy 3 above me, the Collector was made in the 1960's so before you call someone an idiot, pull your head out of your ass and go out and buy a brain stem

I saw it as a perhaps a dream that he had seeing a bully leaning out his window, mocking him as he walked by. Corey didn't take a liking to it so he broke the window that came crashing down to soon sever his arms, hence Prosthetics. Makes sense to me that way.

Personally I think it's about a man who's fallen for a girl he flirts with to the point of obsession and kidnapped her, pulled her out the window and kept her in his house. He won't hurt her so long as he can have his way
"Better make yourself at home
You're here to stay
You won't bother me... If you let me bother you"

and he says that he watches her, so she shouldn't try to escape
He can't let her go even though he knows it's wrong cause he'll be in the shit "what the fuck is different, I can't believe I'm doing this". I don't think he would blame her for running though, hence the line "Even if you run". This line doesn't really fit with the previous, so I understand it as he's talking to himself, like: I'll love you (Even if you run) or I'll be watching....
I can see the correlation with The collector.

He was convicted of statutory rape. He had sex with a minor, hence the line, "Dammit man I knew it was a mistake",
The girl seduced his senses to the point to where he slept with her, hence,"You brought it out of me, Mistake!" Some of the phrases in the song are metaphores.

Yeah totally agree with the on the surface stuff, like yeah obession etc but kinda felt a subtext of governmental/media control, they watch us, control us, all our doors are locked etc. I duno, just something I felt coming thru
