SLIPKNOT
- Iowa Lyrics / with translationsRelax it's over, you belong to me
I fill your mouth with dirts
Relax it's over, you can never leave
I take your second digit with me
Love
You are my first, I can barely breathe
I find you fascinating
You are my favorite, lay you down to sleep
It's all that I can do to stop
Love
So blue, so broken, paper doll decays
I haven't left you yet
So cold subversive, your eyes are full of bleach
Tomorrow, I will go away again
Love
You are mine, you will always be mine
I can tear you apart
I can recombine you
All I want is to covet you all
You belong to me
I will kill you to love you
Love, love, love
Love you, love you, love you
I fill your mouth with dirts
Relax it's over, you can never leave
I take your second digit with me
Love
You are my first, I can barely breathe
I find you fascinating
You are my favorite, lay you down to sleep
It's all that I can do to stop
Love
So blue, so broken, paper doll decays
So cold subversive, your eyes are full of bleach
Tomorrow, I will go away again
Love
You are mine, you will always be mine
I can tear you apart
I can recombine you
All I want is to covet you all
You belong to me
I will kill you to love you
Love, love, love
Love you, love you, love you

1st of all, I don't care who Slipknot does or doesn't worship, I LOVE THEM & this song! To me, it's about an immortal killer that kills women & collects their souls to reshape them into his fantasies.

The song is about a killer that hides the girls body so he can keep coming back to it. He is so caught up in just being with her, that nothing else matters.

I'd say this is one of there best songs... So much energy and feeling, it slowly builds and is forced out blatantly. Its great. The irony of its great, death is the path to 'love'

i sang along as he sang that to me and God saved me anyway - the same morning, when i was learning the lyrics from this or another album, a boy came along and started telling me about God.

This is one of my favourite songs. It's twisted and grotesque, when it wants to be. It leaves with a dead taste in your mouth, and your motives meaningless.
