Hello. The topic for today is:
As we all already know, Slipknot's music is an acquired taste. Not everyone knows how to appreciate it. Majority of their songs don't sound mainstream in anyway. To the inexperienced ear, a Slipknot song just sounds like a bunch of noise mashed together. It takes a real fan to understand them.
However, some songs can be weird even to hardcore fans. Yeah, I'm talking about myself. Even though Slipknot is my favourite band ever, I have to admit that some of their song lines still baffle me.
These lines are seemingly made up of random words. To show you what I mean, I'm going to mention some lines from some of their songs. After that, I'm going to try and decipher what the line actually means.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DISASTERPIECE
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Lines: I wanna slit your throat, and **** the wound/ Wanna push my face in and feel the swoon
What I think it means: Man, this is probably the meanest two lines in any song. It is also hilarious, in a sick way, to actually imagine someone doing that. The first line is pretty self explanatory.
He wants to cut your throat, then he wants to mate with the hole he made. The after that he wants to push his face in and get high. Not sure if he wants to get high on the wound, or on his load after he blows it in the hole. Either way, it is sick.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
LEFT BEHIND
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Lines: Find me wrapped in glass and slowly soaked in lime
What I think it means: So he's wrapped in glass. I'm not sure if it's real glass, or if glass in a chemical term for something else, but either way, it doesn't sound very comfortable. Then he is slowly soaked in lime. Lime stands for limewater? Or something else? Some one help me out here, my Chemistry is a miserable fail.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SPIT IT OUT
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Lines: Just another dumb punk chomping at this tit/Biggidy biggidy bitch boy, halfway hauser.
What I think it means: First line isn't too hard to understand. But I find it really cruel to chomp at a tit. I mean, nibbling is fine, but chomping is a tad to ferocious, don't you think? As for the second line, I have no idea what it means. The words "biggidy" and "hauser" don't even appear in the English dictionaries.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THE HERETIC ANTHEM
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Lines: If you're 555 then I'm 666
What I think it means: This line is kinda hilarious. It's as if they were just trying there best to get "666" part into the song. However, since not many things rhyme with "666", they just decided to put "555" into the song. Still, the line doesn't make much sense.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EVERYTHING ENDS
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Lines: Your are wrong, ****ed and overrated, I think I'm gonna be sick and it's your fault/ This is the end of everything, you are the end of everything/ I've haven't slept since I woke up and found out that my whole life was a lie mother****er
What I think it means: Whoa man, got up on the wrong side of bed? So basically he is telling us that not only are we wrong, we are also ****ed and overrated. Wow, what did we ever do to piss you off that badly man? Then he goes on to say that he is going to be sick and he is blaming it on you.
What did we do to make him sick? Beats me. Probably because we are wrong, ****ed and overrated, that's why he is nauseating. Then he goes all end of the world with us by saying that it is the end of everything, then he says that YOU are the end of everything. Damn, he really has an issue with us.
He then tells us that he is a insomniac and he also hates his life. He just feels the strong need to say "mother****er" after he mentions those things. So, the bottom line is, he hates us and we screwed up his entire life some how. What an angry man.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Of course there are tons more of weird lines in Slipknot songs, but you can't possibly expect me to state all of them. These few lines that I have mentioned are probably some of the weirdest lines you can find in their songs.
Still, although some of the lines are like that, Slipknot is an awesome band that makes good music, and most of their songs actually are really meaningful. I find most of the songs in their latest album to be much more logical than their old songs.
Speaking of Slipknot, some one left this as a comment to one of their songs, and I find it really cool. For those who don't know, that's the Slipknot logo. Check it out:

===============================================================================
I'm getting really lazy these days lol. If you noticed, the way I've written about the topics for the past few days are all in similar style, because this way they can be written really fast and easily. I know I'm being lazy, but I'm going out a lot and playing a whole lot of new games these days, so I don't always have that much time.
I went for my medical check up today. When you apply for a polytechnic, you have to go through a mandatory medical check up so that you can be certified fit for your course. I went to the Raffles Medical Center branch at OUB Centre in Raffles Place.
They asked me to give them a sample of pee when I got there. They gave me a small canister and asked me to do it in the toilet. Thanks to my NCC marksman training, I managed to do it with 100% accuracy :D
I went to take my chest X-ray after that. It is super high tech now. I remember the last time when I took an X-ray, back in 2007, I still had to take off my shirt. Now, you just have to remove any metallic objects that you are wearing on your body, then the X-ray will scan through your clothing.
After that I went to take my height and weight, and I also did some eye tests. I wasn't colour blind, but my right eye is getting a little blurry. In the past, I could read almost every digit flashed on the screen, but this time I actually read an "8" as a "6". Still, they gave me 6/6 vision for both eyes.
As for height and weight, I grew by 2cm since last June. Now I'm 6cm away from my goal of reaching Micheal Jordon's height. I am also happy that I have lost 5kg since the end of the O levels. Guess all the gym visits, running and daily exercises are finally starting to pay off. I think my recently induced vegetarian diet also helped.
Then I went to see the doctor. The guy is such a bastard. He didn't return my greeting when I entered his office, he talked to me as if I was dumb, and he was over reacting to certain things that I said. What a jerk.
After everything was done, I took a bus to Little India to see the traditional doctor. On the way I bought this week's 8 Days magazine, and the cover story is Watchmen. I find the cover hilarious, check it out:
I also managed to walk past Fullerton Hotel. While I have eaten there before, I have never actually stayed there. But I might get a chance soon since Kim told me that her parents might be booking a room for her during the June holiday, and she invited me to come.
The hotel is already 6 stars if I'm not wrong, but being in there with Kim is going to raise the star rating by a considerable amount :D
Anyways, I took a few photos of the hotel:
The front.
The back.
I took this from the inside of the bus. I really like the view.
Thumbs up to Watchmen.
This is completely unrelated, but I saw these magazines at some convienience stall. Not sure what they are, but they look like porn magazines to me. Are those allowed to be sold in S'pore?
After seeing the doctor, I went to Tiong Bahru Plaza to meet Kim. After eating we went to Comics Connection because I wanted to buy Street Fighter IV. When I was about to buy it, Kim decided to pay for part of it. And when I say part of it, I mean $50. Thank you so much dear.
Thank you!! KOAS!! :DI just remembered myself saying this a few posts back:
Click to enlarge, and read the highlighted words :DWhen I got home, I played a lot of the game. To finally get to play the game on my own TV is like a dream come true. The game plays so smoothly, and the animations are awesome. The music is also great. The only problem I have right now is not having the fight stick. If I keep playing it with my controller, the thumbstick is going to snap soon.
Anyways, I took some photos:
Title screen.
Charging up a Shiku Hadouken.
And throwing it into Rufus' face. So satisfying.
SHORYUKEN!!
I like the little details the game has, like the way smoke surrounds an opponent that got burned.
Dan is about to get hit by the full force of a Spinning Pile Driver from Zangief.
Ok, I'm done for today. Thanks for reading. [KOAS Kim!! :D] Ending off, see you tomorrow.
