Iowa Lyrics

Performed by Slipknot

Relax... it's over, you belong to me;
I fill your mouth with dirt;
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.

this is what it means | Reviewer: gio | 11/26/11


Relax... it's over, you belong to me;
I fill your mouth with dirt;

- hes killed her and hes burying her.

Relax... it's over, you can never leave;
I take your second digit with me ... Love...;

- he takes her 2nd finger (ring finger? maybe going other way around)

You are... my first, I can barely breathe;
I find you fascinating;

- first kill

You are... my favorite, lay you down to sleep;
It's all that I can do to stop...
Love...;

- still about burying her.

the rest im sure u can figure out but thats the main part of it

i love this song | Reviewer: Anonymous | 10/26/11

I think this is an amazing song that really explores all the emotions involved in loving somebody. At the end of the song, you can hear Corey say "I can smell you on me" and "I fucking told you" and "You'll live forever". These phrases along with the lyrics show how you can be obsessed with, jealous of, love, hate, and miss the person you love all at the same time. I listen to this entire song whenever I'm in a shit mood over something that happened or whatever, and it really helps me see my problems for what they are and learn to let it slide off my back. Truly an amazing song.

Love that kills | Reviewer: Anonymous | 8/9/11

This song just gives me a creepy feeling, but I like it. It's such a long song. I like the first part, weird thing is, it relaxes me. I mean I almost fall asleep. I see girls suffering, just like me, screaming, and first I see them like at a carnival. But then the scenery changes. Cory LOVES HER too much to let her go, and she doesnt love her, but he can't process that fact. So he's saying, if he has to kill her for her to stay here with him, then he'll do it. I'm only 13, but when I was 12 I went out with a 14 year old. He was just like me, but then out parents seperated us, and he stalked me after that, so my mom called the cops and he lied and said I was stalking him, which I wasn't...But anyway, what people do for true love? It's unimaginal. It's love that kills.

imagination runs wild O.O | Reviewer: maggot169 | 7/25/11

first time i listened to this, i loved it immediately, and i pictured hell; people burning in fire, screaming their lungs out, and part of it sorta makes sense cuz the lyrics say "you belong to me" and "you can never leave" and the last few parts, it makes it seem like the devil describing hell. i know the song probably has nothing to do with hell, but i like to picture it that way, but then again, i dont believe in hell or heaven... so thats why i dont get scared when i think about it all :P i love iowa, its a disasterpiece ;) rock on slipknot \m/

screaming | Reviewer: anonynous | 4/30/11

the first time i heard this song i was lying in bed listening to my mp3, and it just made me feel like there was someone in the room in me, and the sound effects sounded like screaming, but i couldnt bring myself to turn it of. my head started coming up with images of screaming faces and those evil clowns you see in movies and i could hear noises like a carnival in my head, and it was like the screams were theyd killed everyone else and i was trying to escape. then i imagined i was in the forest near where i lived with a mouthful of dirt and corey standing there laughing like a maniac O.o but then when i listened to it this morning it sounde like someone talking about their first kill and imagiened a girl in a white dress hanging from a tree covered in blood, but he refuses to kill her. either way,i dont think ill ever get sick of this amazing song :)

A song for dead memories | Reviewer: B. | 4/29/11

This song is one of the few reminders of my previous relationship that don't ruin my day when I stumble into them. In fact, it's the only one that I enjoy.

My former girl and I used to play this song to each other as a symbol of being absolutely crazy for one another. And when she left me, I started using it to get some relief from the feelings I had at the time. Corey's words were very much in tune, not as much because of the perverted love they carried, but because of that second, deeper emotion: the feeling of betrayal and posessiveness that drove the narrator to kill his girl. I remember at the time after my ex stabbed that final emotional knife in my heart I would cut myself regularly, often listening to this song, either for real, or just in my head, and imagine that I'm in fact cutting her and burying her alive. Then I'd usually cry myself to sleep. Yeah, laugh if you want. Grown men do cry when someone rips their fucking heart out and feeds it to the dogs.

Nowadays, it's more of a reminder. Listening to it is nowhere as cathartic for me, but it's still a good way to work off whatever anxiety might come over me while remembering that failed relationship. I don't cut myself anymore while listening, in fact I have my SI very much under control. And to tell the truth, I rarely get that kind of feelings for my ex these days, since she's a different person now, a complete stranger who I probably wouldn't even recognize. But they still hold for the image of her that I remember.

Actually, this song is one of the two that hold the memory of my ex. The other one is "Wait and Bleed", and it covers a different aspect of our breakup altogether...

.... | Reviewer: RazerrrSharp | 1/23/11

There's something about this song,
so mystifying..
Its impossible not to listen to the whole song when you hear it..
It takes you to another place
It releases feelings you never knew existed
It drives you to the edge and almost doesn't pull you back..
It's a lovely song.

Imagination, man, go for her, be nice to her, actually talk to her, get to know her, get really close with her, i gaurentee she will start to interest in you, the same thing happened with me, im only 14, and i fell for a girl whos 18. i just was myself around her, and complitmented her, etc etc, go for it man, the worst she can say is no, and even if she says no, back off alittle bit, but still keep persisting, listen to this song to let your emotions off, when i have a shit day, i come home and listen to slipknot, when i have a good day, i listen to slipknot, no matter what mood im in, Slipknot helps me unlock weird feelings within every song, and thats why i love them, stay (sic) maggots!

creepy song | Reviewer: Anonymous | 9/5/10

I think that this song puts you in a post-apocalyptic cornfield, with those creepy screams being evil/ominous crows in the sky. I don't want to get into the actual lyrics because i think the sound effects are amazing. It's the kind of song you DO NOT want to listen to on halloween. :D
