      Ain't nothing wrong with pre-prepping as long as done right. I mean literally for a full song breakdown we would need prosperity in multiple fields like Psych degrees, be besties with the creator of the music as well as being literal world scholars in every aspect of life. But breaking down just what we've heard into logical thought patterns not actually stating this is what is meant is incredibly helpful and eye opening to understanding the basis of our favorite songs. But like I mentioned, they'res others LBoydish that are like Ahhh this must be what they mean or this plus this has got to be..... Ahhh this is referring to Nino, Pinto and Santa Maria which must mean that jacking pilgrims were into lowtiders with chrome galleys and swabz, that's where the Fast and Furious franchise got its humble beginnings!

    "The rain will kill us all" has a double meaning, not just the potential of pollution making the rain toxic but also the "reign" of the people in power that lead to the continued corruption. Also the limits of the dead is in reference that those who have past can bo longer effect the future and its up to us to make changes. Great video I love your reactions.

      @@user-jk7is9ie3i True. Nobody can catch every lyric or bar on almost every song every time the first time through as often as Knox. There is no way he isn't looking at lyrics either ahead of listening to the song and/or has them pulled up on-screen.
      He sometimes gives it away in his video titles. "First time watching" = He has heard it before but not watched the video. "First time reacting to" = He has read the lyrics. Stuff like that.
      Misinterpreting lyrics is part of music. It's impossible that someone can always hear the exact lyric almost every time. Not to mention know so many references on such a wide variety of pop culture and history (epic rap battles).

Grey was the bassist and a founding member of the band. In the video, he's the one with the dark Hannibal Lecter-esque mask.

  • @humanoid251
    @humanoid251 ปีที่แล้ว +31

    This is the first Slipknot song (and one of the first metal songs in general) I ever heard, so it’s my favorite song of theirs
    The All Hope Is Gone is in reference to the name of the album that this song is from
    “And the rain will kill us all” can also be interpreted as “the reign” aka the leadership perverting all these sacrosanct principles will be what kills us all
    Psychosocial does mean the psychological and social effects of something on a person but I personally interpret it’s meaning, at least in this song, as psychopathy on a social scale. Like throughout the song Corey is making references to how we as a society lack empathy for each other, can’t properly communicate with each other and even exploit, abuse and kill each other.
    👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 iconic song. Some other Slipknot songs I’d personally recommend are Sulfur, Unsainted and All Out Life.

    I had a crazy Slipknot concert a few years ago. It was an outdoor rain show that was delayed over an hour for lightning. The first band Of Mice and Men got skipped. It stopped raining for a while and when Slipknot started playing this song, Corey started singing the chorus "and the rain will kill us all" right as it started pouring down and we were moshing in muddy pits. So much fun and an incredible experience.

    Nice one picking up on the 'your purple hearts are giving out' line, imo it's the most effective and clever in the whole song but seems to be missed by a lot of people i've seen discussing the lyrics. Great video, you really have the ability to articulate ideas that are hard for me to put into words

    I love your take on this and how you can break it down and appreciate the deep and meaningful intent behind the lyrics because 99% of metal is just "assumed" to be a cliche of hate, parental issues, and suicidal thoughts but its so far from the truth. Yes those things exist in metal but its so much smaller than people think. I love that you can appreciate and respect genre's outside of your own with a meaningful perception of it. Earned my sub for sure!

    I’ve made a few comments before stating this, but you’re one of VERY few, who actually deep dive into the message being spoken into the lyrics, obviously having a rap background, lyrics are what make a rap song, not it’s beat or notes. But you actually react in these videos in a way that will captivate all and that’s something many don’t do. Most only listen to the music and some talk about the lyrics in metal, but no one comes close to the rabbit hole you do when it comes to dissecting every little bit… Hell, I never do that hahaha, but you actually help me see things I never would have even after decades of listening to it. So that’s why I put you at the top of reactionary music and videos, great job as always.
