The Heretic Anthem is about how he is different and nobody should care. 555 meaning normal people are what he thinks we are. and if so he is 666, the devil, someone different.

you dumbass when he is saying "if your 555 then I'm 666" is he's saying he's different from all those poser pussyassbitchmuthafuckers as he calls them on 9.0 Live, he isn't refering to satan. Dipshit

Once again I have to explain to everyone the heretic anthem does not make slipknot satanic. What the song is for is a big fuck you to the music industry and a ll their bullshit they pull.

Well, when Slipknot was performing in Brasil he told us that it was about the agents that wouldnt sign the band and never gave them the shot. They put them down and told them they would never make it. That they never had what it took to make it in the business

The heretic anthem is about corey standing his ground of becoming the exact opposite of what people want him to be, to prove a point. The point of not selling out, not following people, not taking orders from people. With lyrics describing man as 555, satan as 666, and god as 777, the theme of hate once again prevails. It is also a large 'fuck you' to the music industry and bands that have sold out. It also states that now, corey is teaching the young of our race (teenagers) which refers to showing them the truth of life. That it's not all pink and happy, that it can be a brutal and scary place at times.

Yeah, so far none of you sound right to me. No offense. But the song is totally about how corey is a complete individual, and you could never become him at all. The 555 represents people, 666 satan, and 777 (even though it's never mentioned in the song) is god. I got a majority of my translation directly from authorized slipknot fansites, but I added my own ideas to it.

666 is not the number of satan but nero caesar one of the worst people ever to live and is the number of the antichrist.

"I want to take you back seven years to the eden festival at the gameworks right down here. There was about a hundred fucking people there... It was the first time we really ever played for anyone outside of where we lived, and you guys went off harder with a hundred people than I've ever seen a lot of fucking people go off before. And we scared the fuck out of so many fucking record label assholes that night. So because of fucking those people like that, those fucking plastic, record-label, pussy-ass bitch motherfuckers, we wrote this next fucking song. You know it, join me, because if you 555, then i'm..."

He doesn't know what he's talking about. The people who say the song is about satan are stupid retards. The song is about how corey denied the music industry when they asked him to make a radio friendly song.

Um I'm sticking with the music industry theory. This might be a stretch but 555 is the area code the film industry uses for all phone numbers in a movie or television show. since the music industry and film industry are basically one and the same it seems like a reference to them. 666 is the "mark of the beast" in Revelation but was in actuality considered to be man's number. stupid Evangelical interpretations have made it into Satan's number. the whole thing about putting the beast's number on people in Revelation is about declaring man above or equal to God.

The Heretic Anthem is about standing you're ground and becoming the opposite of what people want you to be. It's about all those pussy ass bitch mother fuckers that wrote this band off.

It is also about all those ignorant and stupid motherfucker's that judge SLIPKNOT like they know them. It's about the stupid motherfucker's that think SLIPKNOT are Santanists and Devil music, as in the line "If you're 555 then I'm 666". I mean, you can't judge a band because the way it sounds, looks or what they say because you don't know them in the first place.

To the followers... How can you be so completely sure that they're Santanists or whatever? The line "EVERYBODY IS SO COMPLETELY SURE OF WHAT WE ARE" explains it all. To me, it's about people like us standing our ground against all those stupid and ignorant motherfuckers that judge us like they fuckin' know everything and if you're a maggot you're doin' the right thing by staying true to yourself and not listening to that POP and RAP bullshit.

My Interpretation Is that this song has two meanings, one being of the anger showed to Fred durst Who made an insult to Slipknot, Also the song is about Holy wood 555 being hol On a Cell phone Meaning that People who follow holywood are the true heretics and slipknot is a misunderstood opinion.

You kids got it all wrong...
555 is whats used in movies in phone numbers, because they can't use real numbers.
so they put 555 as the first 3 digits excluding the area code.
ever noticed that before?

if your fake(555) then I'm 666(pissed off).
it basically is a middle finger to fake people.
saying he's gonna kick your ass if your fake.
in other words.
the music industries ass.

Corey is getting at the music industry for writing Slipknot of, for when he says,"I'm a pop star threat," it's him getting back at the music industry for promoting shitty pop bands and writing Slipknot off.

Also when he says,"Everybody's so completely sure of what we are" he's showing how everyone thinks they know who Slipknot are, and that they are actually a very misunderstood band. When he says,"But face to face, they haven't got a thing to say" its showing how people will bitch and badmouth Slipknot, but when they come face to face, they're fucking pussies. Also referring to when in 9.0 he calls them all (pussy)ass(bitch) motherfuckers
