Love hurts: Slipknot sings "Scissors" (video)


Slipknot "Scissors" (music video)
(Spikardmetal) This is an unofficial video for "Scissors" (1999), which really needs its own official video to tell the story of bad love gone worse.

You guys are crazy! You can't sing like that!
The final song on Slipknot’s self-titled debut (excluding the secret track “Eeyore” hidden as a bonus track) is "Scissors." The lyrics were written by the now deceased drummer Joey Jordison about self-harm, but the last lines were improvised by singer Corey Taylor (and are thought to be about drug addiction). The secret track after a long silence on the CD is the band watching a scat-porn film [Two Girls One Cup], with the “coughing” being Chris Fehn throwing up in revulsion and disgust. "Scissors" is one of the most emotional songs ever but apparently not acceptable or appropriate emotions, which is what makes Slipknot a classic band of innovators.

(Nazareth) "Love Hurts" treated as a sincere and cheesy paean

LYRICS: I play doctor for five minutes flat
Before I cut my heart open and let the air out
Three bugs, a pound of dust, some wind spilled before me
In the strangest manner that had broke away my tear spout

[Verse 1]
As I lie there with my tongue spread wide open
A black widow had offered me a sweetheart deal
As I injected the candied heart that I selected
She said don't hesitate, just do what you want to do to me

[Verse 2]
It's hard to stay between the lines of skin
Just 'cause I have nerves, don't mean that I can feel
I wasn't very much fun to be with anyway
Just let the blood run red 'cause I can't feel
It's hard to stay between the lines of skin
Just 'cause I have nerves, don't mean that I can feel
I wasn't very much fun to be with anyway
Just let the blood run red 'cause I can't feel

[Bridge]
Biding my time until the time is right
Biding my time until the time is right
Biding my time until the time is right
Biding my time, it's time
Biding my time until the time is right
Biding my time until the time is right
Biding my time until the time is right
Biding my time, it's time
Biding my time until the time is right
Biding my time until the time is right
Biding my time until the time is right
Biding my time, it's time
Biding my time until the time is right
Biding my time until the time is right
Biding my time until the time is right
Biding my time, it's time
Biding, biding, biding, biding
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!

[Verse 3]
Someone in behind me
Someone inside me
Everyone against me
Everyone beside me
Clawing away the pieces
Scratching away the abscess
One more, two more
Everyone, once more
One more, two more
Everyone, once more
Inside the places that I hide from you
I want to see you splayed before me
You are the only one
That I would rather see before me
You want it, you need it
You want it, you need it
You want it, you need it
You want it, you need it
Don't lie; I die, you lie; I lie, oh, why?
I don't want you to pay anyone when I die
I wanna die, I'd rather die, I wanna die
You purge, you burn, you purge
I don't need you anymore, I don't need you

[Outro]
It is time!
It is time!
It is time!
It is time!
It is time!
It is time!
It is time!
It is time!
It is time!
It is time!
It is time!
It is time!
