Slipknot - Slipknot (lyrics, meaning, background information)

Slipknot - Slipknot
Mate. Feed. Kill. Repeat (MFKR)

[instrumental]

pantex sucks
pantex sucks
they burn the life forms of my tribe
pantex sucks

boneknawers suck
boneknawers suck
they roll around in garbage bins
all boneknawers suck

(pantex is bleeding but night is falling)

the blackened sucks
the blackened sucks
those mutated bastard leeches
blackened sucks

if I had my way
if I had my way
id rend them all
ripped and torn
all that sucks dies

(sweet smell bleeding, glow is melting me)

I
bring
my
glave
into
battle
shifting
into
krinos
I
slay
wrymfoe
then
I
step sideways

you cant see me for I lie within the umbra
you cant see me for I lie within the umbra
you cant see me for I lie within the umbra
you cant see me for I lie within the umbra

The lyrics within the brackets are sang by "Clown". This song was written before the band was named "slipknot" and Joey Jordison, who was not a member of the band at the time, later suggested that this be the name of the band. The idea was accepted before the album was released due to it being under the name, "slipknot". 
Many songs from this album were re-written and performed by the new members of slipknot, this was no exception, It was changed drastically and became the song "(sic)".
M.F.K.R and all of the murder dolls songs were about an rpg board game that the members would play. It was in fact the entire idea behind the band forming in the first place and many of the songs are directly pertaining to this game. (None of the new slipknot songs are about this game however, song lyrics and meaning were changed.) Thus the lyrics in this song may seem random and nonsensical however if you were to play the game then im sure it would make sense.
3/5
