Slipknot — Wait and Bleed [Live Ozzfest 1999]

I've felt the hate rise up in me...
Kneel down and clear the stone of leaves...
I wander out where you can't see...
Inside my shell, I wait and bleed...

I've felt the hate rise up in me...
Kneel down and clear the stone of leaves...
I wander out where you can't see...
Inside my shell, I wait and bleed...

Goodbye!

I wipe it off on tile, the light is brighter this time
Everything is 3D blasphemy
My eyes are red and gold, the hair is standing straight up
This is not the way I pictured me
I CAN'T CONTROL MY SHAKES!
How the hell did I get here?
Something about this, so very wrong...
I have to laugh out loud, I wish I didn't like this
Is it a dream or a memory?

I've felt the hate rise up in me...
Kneel down and clear the stone of leaves...
I wander out where you can't see...
Inside my shell, I wait and bleed...

GET OUTTA MY HEAD CUZ I DON'T NEED THIS!
Why I didn't I see this?
I'm a victim - Manchurian Candidate
I - HAVE - SINNED - BY - JUST
Makin' my mind up and takin' your breath away

I've felt the hate rise up in me...
Kneel down and clear the stone of leaves...
I wander out where you can't see...
Inside my shell, I wait and bleed...

I've felt the hate rise up in me...
Kneel down and clear the stone of leaves...
I wander out where you can't see...
Inside my shell, I wait and bleed...

GOODBYE!

You haven't learned a thing
I haven't changed a thing
My flesh was in my bones
The pain was always free
You haven't learned a thing
I haven't changed a thing
My flesh was in my bones
The pain was always free

I've felt the hate rise up in me...
Kneel down and clear the stone of leaves...
I wander out where you can't see...
Inside my shell, I wait and bleed...

I've felt the hate rise up in me...
Kneel down and clear the stone of leaves...
I wander out where you can't see...
Inside my shell, I wait and bleed...

AND IT WAITS ALL US!

Краткое описание

Песня «Wait and Bleed» (ожидай и истекай) группы Slipknot в исполнении на концерте Ozzfest 1999 выражает ощущения гнева и отчаяния. Текст описывает пробуждение негативных эмоций, невозможность управлять дрожью в теле, чувство того, что что-то идет не так, и желание избавиться от этих чувств. Певец описывает своего рода дуальность — он одновременно испытывает ненависть и ждет, страдая в своей оболочке. Игровые моменты, такие как крики и воспоминания, также присутствуют в тексте. Песня заканчивается призывом уйти от боли, отказаться от нее, но проблема все еще остается. Таким образом, «Wait and Bleed» передает эмоциональное состояние исполнителя и его борьбу с внутренними демонами.
