Somebody give me some light
Not pointed into the dark
Somebody show me the end
Not trying to push a start
Not trying to figure out
A better way, a better answer
But I keep finding all the problems
I've been looking after

Don't get wound up in the world
With nothing but a smile
I'll take a ton of words
And use them to instill denile
Don't get close
You don't know me
And you'll never know
Shivelry, will get you somewhere
Rivalry, will take you there

Don't get close
You don't know me
And you'll never know
Shivery, will get you somewhere
Rivalry, will take you there
Maybe I should look away
Before I really miss
Maybe I should pick the time
Before I pick the place
I bet you all the things
That you emulate, you penalize
But I don't want to go
Before you learn to finalize

Don't get close
You don't know me
And you'll never know
Shivelry, will get you somewhere
Rivalry, will take you there
Don't get close
You don't know me
And you'll never know
Shivery, will get you somewhere
Rivalry

You assitane the plot
My vision's overshot
I have the best confection
I was gone for all the lessons
Who coined these words I use
Stay out and be abused
I didn't want to be
The undeniable source of everything

Don't get close
Don't get close
Don't get close
Don't get close
Don't get close
You'd better stay away
Don't get close
You'd better stay away
Don't get close
You'd better stay away
Don't get close
You'd better stay away

Need change, watching all the conflicts
Constrict, push the fist in, squeeze it
I can not resist, claws and fist
Remember, remember
You take the rivalries
And never made much sense
I have the worst possession
What I want is so insensitive
Stay out and be abused
Cause this is so confused
I only want to be
Left over, now run away

Don't get close
Don't get close
Don't get close
Don't get close
Don't get close
You'd better stay away
Don't get close
You'd better stay away
Don't get close
You'd better stay away

    General Comment:The style of this song reminds me of a much less refined Before I Forget.

    Anyway, it's not a great song, but it's good. And it is far from their worst; try listening to MFKR. The vocals were terrible.

    General Comment:Blanqua, you claim that Corey and Joey are the best metal songwriters that roam the Earth;

    Jesus, man, do you even listen to anything except Slipknot?
    They're okay, but I've matured away from their relatively simple music unto more advanced and interesting, non-linear and more heavy music.

    But seriously, how can anyone make such a vain claim?
    You clearly need to listen to more music...

    General Comment:What I like in slipknot is that at first; the music totally blows you away, second when you read the lyrics really good you just get goosebumbs of the meaning and emotion in het, third when you listen the song again, it's even ten times as good as it was before. Corey is an artist, a poet, In my opinion (together with Joey) the best metal song-writer that roames this earth.

    This song has great lines, but the music itself isn't so mind blowing. It's nog bad, I like it very mutch, but it hasen't got the hard en speedy shit in it that's slipknot is known for. I'd rate this song an 8, because lyrics are just as important as the music (witch ain't bad!)

    General Comment:This is a cool song, it keeps loooooosers away when you sing it really loud, then nobody bothers you, so to all you haters, sing louder, so that we all can hear you.

    General Comment:ahh your constant muttering disturbs me ...this song was greaat ..I'd rather stick to the meaning than your tastes...if you want taste,.,..try pop ....Slipknot is hard merciless raw metal not for new age punks like you ...now why dont you just step out of your ridiculous pathetic suggestions..you make my stomach hury .. and one thing dude...SIC MAGGOTS NEVER DIE NOR DO THEY AGE..you losers make me so sick I feel like nailing you to the wall ...and gashing the life off your wrists ( what a wild imagination) ...any way ...unlike you morons I'll give meaning to the site....I think this is all about feeling so out of control that the only place you can resort to is yourself...more like a cocoon because when you are hurt you are so vulnerable to pain so you kinda like snap at anyone who trys to play nice ..trying to get to you for their selfish intents ..then thats were the "DONT GET CLOSE " comes.. As for the punk losers who kinda made my day complete ..Dont get close to this place again..when you dish out slipknot ..you dish out sic maggots .and you dont want yourself caught in their way ..heed to my warning ..Slipknot is all about meaning and less tastes for you ..anyway thats what corey always says..we dont care about your tastes ..that was what the heretic anthem was all about although I do not believe that cultish elements where neccessary ..but you get the point ...go to your poppish ways and leave slipknot out of your foul-tasted ways..now if you wanna pick on something you dont know about ...dissing out this song at will....before you face me ..SLIT YOUR WRISTS AND DIE ,,,and I'll watch you WAIT AND BLEED
