Slipknot | Hive Mind | (Vocal Cover)

MEANING
Slipknot's song 'Hive Mind' delves into the dark world of conformity and mass influence in the digital age.
The lyrics suggest a critique of modern society, where people often become passive witnesses or unwitting participants in acts they do not fully understand or wish to engage in.
The reference to 'needing another witness' and 'inadmissible' testimony could be interpreted as a metaphor for how people are drawn into being part of the 'hive mind', a term that refers to collective decision-making without individual critical thinking.
The chorus and verses of 'Hive Mind' reflect the internal struggle of someone who realizes the toxicity of their environment, but feels unable to escape it.
The song talks about 'protecting the hive mind', which could be interpreted as a satire of how people blindly defend the norms and practices of a group, even when they are harmful to themselves or others.
The reference to 'swimming hard to the other side' and 'not drowning to defy the critics' is a call to resilience and individuality. Encourages its listeners to stand firm in the face of adversity and not to be carried away by the current of popular opinion.
In short, 'Hive Mind' is an empowerment anthem that prompts audiences to question authority and find their own voice in a world that often prizes conformity over authenticity.

LYRICS
Rise, we're gonna need another witness just like you
Surprise, your inadmissible testimony might be true
You better pull the hood (get it off, get it off)
You'll be lucky to tear the place down
Then you're gone for good (set it off, set it off)
Scorched earth is your favorite sacred ground
Turn away if you know you wanna stay
But you're never gonna like what's left of me
When the carcass is down and the predator's around
You're gonna play dead if you wanna run free
You're such a tortured soul
But I don't wanna hear about it
You say you're not involved
But all you do is talk about it
(Go bless this shit where you belong)
For your own information
For your own entertainment
This hell comes to you live
And if you need some assistance
A little time to convince it
Dial in your sordid hive mind
Crawl - across the broken glass of every window you're pressed against
Scrawl - your little bits of hate
Your little digital graffiti breaks
So don't close your eyes (get it off, get it off)
When you're pulling your messages down
You wanna go to sleep? (set it off, set it off)
You'll be lucky if they take you without making a sound
What a guy, God, I hope you fucking die
And your sympathies don't mean a shit to me
When the competence goes and the predator knows
You better be dead if you wanna be free
You're such a tortured soul
But I don't wanna hear about it
You say you're not involved
But all you do is talk about it
One more thing
And don't forget to burn
For your own information
For your own entertainment
This hell comes to you live
And if you need some assistance
A little time to convince it
Dial in this sordid
Protect the hive mind
Hold on, there's a river around you
Swim hard for the other side
Don't drown to spite your critics
Just blow a kiss goodbye
Hold on, there's a river around you
Swim hard for the other side
Don't drown to spite your critics
Just blow a kiss goodbye
Yeah
Protect the hive
