LEARN MORE Psychosocial Slipknot Produced by Dave Fortman & Slipknot Album All Hope Is Gone [Intro: Corey Taylor] Ooh, yeah [Verse 1: Corey Taylor] I did my time, and I want out So effusive, fade, it doesn't cut, the soul is not so vibrant The reckoning, the sickening Packaging subversion, pseudo-sacrosanct perversion Go drill your deserts, go dig your graves Then fill your mouth with all the money you will save Sinking in, getting smaller again I'm done, it has begun, I'm not the only one [Chorus: Corey Taylor] And the rain will kill us all Throw ourselves against the wall But no one else can see The preservation of the martyr in me [Post-Chorus: Clown, Chris Fehn, & Paul Gray] Psychosocial, psychosocial, psychosocial Psychosocial, psychosocial, psychosocial [Verse 2: Corey Taylor] There are cracks in the road we laid But where the temple fell, the secrets have gone mad This is nothing new, but when we killed it all The hate was all we had Who needs another mess? We could start over Just look me in the eyes and say I'm wrong Now there's only emptiness, venomous, insipid I think we're done, I'm not the only one [Chorus: Corey Taylor] And the rain will kill us all Throw ourselves against the wall But no one else can see The preservation of the martyr in me [Post-Chorus: Clown, Chris Fehn, & Paul Gray] Psychosocial, psychosocial, psychosocial Psychosocial, psychosocial, psychosocial [Guitar Solo: Mick Thompson] [Bridge: Corey Taylor, Clown, Chris Fehn, & Paul Gray] The limits of the dead The limits of the dead The limits of the dead The limits of the dead [Verse 3: Corey Taylor] Fake anti-fascist lie (Psychosocial) I tried to tell you, but (Psychosocial) Your purple hearts are giving out! (Psychosocial) Can't stop a killing idea (Psychosocial) If it's hunting season (Psychosocial) Is this what you want? (Psychosocial) I'm not the only one [Chorus: Corey Taylor] And the rain will kill us all Throw ourselves against the wall But no one else can see The preservation of the martyr in me [Chorus: Corey Taylor] And the rain will kill us all Throw ourselves against the wall But no one else can see The preservation of the martyr in me [Outro: Corey Taylor] The limits of the dead The limits of the dead “Psychosocial” is a song about hate for life and broken society. It’s the second single from All Hope is Gone and was nominated for the 2009 Grammy for Best Metal Performance, losing to Metallica’s “My Apocalypse.” In the video for “Psychosocial,” Slipknot burned the “purgatory masks” that they had revealed for during the promotion of the All Hope is Gone album in 2008. That was a Shawn Crahan idea. Those are Mardi Gras heads of our faces from the death masks we wore in the ‘Vermillion’ video. It’s just a teaser, but it’s totally genius. When I… read more » Why do they wear masks? In an article from Metal Hammer, it says that before their first-ever gig in 1995 they were searching for something to wear. Shawn Crahan (Clown) came up with a clown mask and said “I’m wearing this.” Someone out of the band stated that he couldn’t be the only one who wears some stupid mask but Crahan didn’t want to overthrow his plans, so the other band members just went along. For Rolling Stone, Corey Taylor stated that: The masks offered uniqueness to the band going against the grain of what was occurring in music at the moment they launched. 3 contributors What are the purgatory masks? During the All Hope Is Gone era, Slipknot introduced their “Purgatory masks,” these masks were large Mardi Gras versions of their death masks. The masks were made out of a material which is believed to be similar to papier-mâché and are full headed masks which are disproportionately larger than the band member’s bodies. The masks were used in promotional photos taken at the farm/studio were they wrote and recorded All Hope Is Gone. The photos were used as teasers prior to the release of All Hope Is Gone as well as in the booklet of the album. The Purgatory masks were ceremonially burnt in the music video for “Psychosocial” (which was also shot at the farm/studio were they wrote and recorded All Hope Is Gone) because the masks represented their egos and they were destroying all which they meant. 2 contributors Ask us a question about this song Ask a question 5 288,470 Nu-Metal, Heavy Metal, Metal, Rock Lyrics Complete Written By Sid Wilson, Joey Jordison, Paul Gray & 6 more Rhythm Guitar Mick Thomson Bass Guitar Paul Gray Lead guitar Jim Root Mixing Colin Richardson Mastering Ted Jensen Backing Vocals Paul Gray, Shawn Crahan & Chris Fehn Vocals Corey Taylor Percussion Shawn Crahan & Chris Fehn Sampling Craig Jones Keyboards Craig Jones Turntables Sid Wilson Drums Joey Jordison Record Label Roadrunner Records Recorded At Sound Farm Studio Release Date July 16, 2008 Sampled In PSYCHO by Ski Mask the Slump God Lies Yxu Tell by Scarlxrd EXTREME MEME MUSIC MEGAMASHUP 2 by DaymanOurSavior DRUG STORE by Alexx & Paradoxical SUPER MEME MEGAMIX ULTIMATE by Vincent Mashups Interpolated By SIMP SALAD by Frank Gioia Cover By Psychosocial (Banjo Cover) by Rob Scallon (Ft.
