Sitting in the dark,
I can't forget.
Even now,
I realize the time
I'll never get.
Another story
Of the bitter pills of fate.
I can't go back again.
I can't go back again
But you asked me
To love you and I did.
Traded my emotions
For a contract to commit.
And when I got away,
I only got so far.
The other me is dead.
I hear his voice inside my head
We were never alive,
And we won't be born again.
But I'll never survive
With dead memories in my heart.
You told me to love you
And I did.
Tied my soul into a knot
And got me to submit.
So when I got away,
I only kept my scars.
The other me is gone.
Now I don't know where I belong
We were never alive,
And we won't be born again.
But I'll never survive
With dead memories in my heart.
Dead visions in your name.
Dead fingers in my veins.
Dead memories in my heart
I can't forget.
Even now,
I realize the time
I'll never get.
Another story
Of the bitter pills of fate.
I can't go back again.
I can't go back again
But you asked me
To love you and I did.
Traded my emotions
For a contract to commit.
And when I got away,
I only got so far.
The other me is dead.
I hear his voice inside my head
We were never alive,
And we won't be born again.
But I'll never survive
With dead memories in my heart.
You told me to love you
And I did.
Tied my soul into a knot
And got me to submit.
So when I got away,
I only kept my scars.
The other me is gone.
Now I don't know where I belong
We were never alive,
And we won't be born again.
But I'll never survive
With dead memories in my heart.
Dead visions in your name.
Dead fingers in my veins.
Dead memories in my heart

The singer in the song was in a bad relationship. He blames himself for it failing, but now he changed, and he wants her back but he can't.
Even now,
I realize the time
I'll never get.
-He realizes he won't be with her anymore.
But you asked me
To love you and I did.
Traded my emotions
For a contract to commit.
-He was in love with her, but wasn't happy.
And when I got away,
I only got so far.
The other me is dead.
I hear his voice inside my head
-When they broke up, he changed for the better, but the mistakes he made still haunt him.
We were never alive,
And we won't be born again.
But I'll never survive
With dead memories in my heart.
-They weren't happy together, and they'll never be together anymore, but he still mourns over the lost relationship in the past, and that was his fault.
the lyrics came after almost 10 years together & it talks about the history of the band from a personal point of view.
submitting to the band 100% in a very young age, leaving your other life behind.
experiencing success & fame in the music scene & changing your life totally.
the dead memories are the personalities each of the band members had.
forget about your self & go forward in order to keep the band alive.
"You told me to love you and I did
tied my soul into a knot and got me to submit."
just the way he says it is so cool.
anyone else think so? o.o
I am not overly impressed by this album
This is not a song about breaking up with your woman...it is much deeper and more profound, you can get another woman...you cannot replace a non-existent god or afterlife that you have been hoping for to make up for this meaningless life. Even the christian and jewish bible says life is meaningless...King Solomon said it himself. Funny isn't it?
It may be that only someone who has once worshiped a god (christian god myself) and dedicated themselves to a life of sacrifice so that in heaven there would be a reward (no weed, no alcohol, no sex...etc etc)...something to make up for all the shit in this world...but there isn't...the reality shattering realization that there is no god to pray to, no greater being that understand your pain and frustration...there is nothing in death...and you are alone. All you were taught by any church was a lie.
I don't expect someone who was not raised to be of one of the mainstream religions and then discovered the truth to understand this fully. Those who were sucked into the world of the religious by no fault of their own, either early in life (such as myself) or later in life can fully comprehend this song. If you haven't...be thankful...it's a pretty damning experience, often psychologically traumatic. I speak from first hand exp. and I think this song backs me up...as does "wherein lies continue"
And sometimes you WILL tie your soul into a knot and trade your emotions for a contract to commit ,time passes by and suddenly you see that some part of you is dead and it wont be born again and then you realize that you were never alive and you were always poisoned under the chains of fate... world is just like a sanatorium and you must always take the vermilion colored pills of fate.
This was the first song he every showed me and the first Slipknot song I ever heard. and I fell in love with this song the first day I heard it. And now...I can't listen to it without without being emotionally drained, so many memories with my dear friend just listening to this :(
"Even now, I realize the time I'll never get." My time with him is up now.
