Reviews for Vermillion Lyrics

naha vermillion is nothing to do with anything u have said!!!! Vermilion, sometimes spelled vermillion, when found naturally occurring, is an opaque orangish red pigment, used since antiquity, originally derived from the powdered mineral cinnabar. Chemically, the pigment is mercuric sulfide, HgS, and like all mercury compounds it is toxic. Its name is derived from the French vermeil which was used to mean any red dye, and which itself comes from vermiculum, a red dye made from the insect Kermes vermilio.[1] The word for the color red in Portuguese (vermelho) derives from this term.

Today, vermilion is most commonly artificially produced by reacting mercury with molten sulfur. Most naturally produced vermilion comes from cinnabar mined in China, giving rise to its alternative name of China red.

this song relates to me it is about a girl that a girl that he realy loved a girl that made him sadder then any thing else because he loves her more then anything but shes something entirly different and he has no idea (for part 2) what to do with her i just broke up with my gf because that she was completly manipulitive seemed like she loved me but she diddnt care i finaly desided not to deal with it (i wont let this build up inside of me) so i dumped her so if the song is from experience i feel bad cus i feel torn in to peices as part 2 says.

Vermillion i believe is a portrail of the elusive. the things we cannot have, our innermost desiers. everything we lost and still have to (never) gain. i personaly relate to this song as it reflects my life and my deepest desiers.
"I'm a slave, and I am a master
No restraints and, unchecked collectors
I exist through my need, to self oblige
She is something in me, that I despise"

It sounds like it's about a someone who loves almost obsessively a girl and she is either non existent or isn't what he expected, and at the end he realizes he can't make her what he wants.

Pt. 2 could be about the sad acception of the fact?

Just throwing in my two-cents here, but to myself and my brother the Vermillion songs represent the different sides of plunging into insanity and then being insane. To us, whenever Corey refers to "her," think of anything or anyone in the world that you want badly and makes you feel safe or comfortable. "She is everything and more" Eventually, this kind of salvation becomes so tempting and heaven-like that one begins to obsess. Then they fixate on it, "Fixed and crazy, Aphid attraction"

As reality loses it's hold, there is one last desperate effort to save oneself from insanity. Trying to convince yourself that, "[It] isn't real! I can't make [it] real!" Eventually, it stops making sense, gets worse every moment, and makes you give up on fighting it; represented to me by the softer tone in Corey's voice.

Part 2 goes on to the sad bliss that is insanity itself. The music itself is acoustic and serene, but still holds a very defeated and sad tone. You can hear and see the inner torment of having become what they are, "She seemed dressed in all of me, stretched across my shame. / All the torment and the pain / Leaked through and covered me." Even though there are both blissful and then very tortuous types of insanity, there is a blend here. Then there is the realisation that what they went insane for in the first place was meaningless in the first place, "A song that no one sings; the unattainable."

The rest of the song shows the lack of rhyme or reason to insanity itself by repeating the defeated lines; trying to convince oneself that it will all go away. Thus, the internal torture of either what they have thought or actually done sets in with the third verse, "I don't wanna be this." Which then finishes with the still-defeated repetition of thoughts.

Just my thoughts on what the song means to me. Admittedly, I am a tad bit on the unstable side myself; but I did see a close family member gradually slip into insanity in a similar fashion after a nervous breakdown.

first of all, scarlet didn't die. they were still together then and he just divorced her like 2 years ago or something like that.

corey has said in other songs that he loves hate. and vermillion means A vivid red to reddish orange and red does mean hate and anger, so maybe he's talkng about loving hate yet again.

but we could just be going in over our heads with these meanings while corey was just talkng about falling in love with his ex-wife...

i think the songs about self deception, and loneliness. About, how corey instead of turning to a woman, creates ones image in his mind, the lines "She isn't real (She isn't real)
I can't make her real (can't make her real)
She isn't real (She isn't real)
I can't make her real (can't make her real)" tells us how that, the acts that he is pursuing (chasing after someone he has created) is perverse and how wrong this is. also "She is something in me, that I despise" tells of how she is a dillusion, to him yet he wants her. The lady he is talking about here is created by corey himself as a source of relief from his loneliness. he needs someone, and when he cant get that someone, he creates the dillusion to fulfil his desires.

I think this song is about love (obviously), but i also think that "she" is either a woman that the guy fell in love with a long time ago and he can't stop thinking about "the night that she came home".

The alternative is that "she" is just something in the singer's imagination that he's created: "I'm a slave but i'm also the master" could mean that he is being controlled by his visions of her but he is the master in that created her in the first place. "I can't make her real" again hints that she is something in his head.

Hell, it might be a combo of the two, a first love that won't go away, or just a figment of a tortured imagination. Either way amazing song.

because of this song two youngs kill some people..because of this song my friend cut himself because girlfriend broke up with him,but he loves her on some crazy way.he tells me all the time that comes the day when she will be in shits like him because of his fault and one day he will kill her,when he stop love her..i hope he will never stop love her...

I know everyone will have their own interpretations but the general idea seems to be that it's about love, which I agree with. I think it's about the intensity and danger of it,(Fixed and crazy, Aphid attraction) and how scary it is when one person becomes your world (She is everything and more/She is home to me). What happens when you become so addicted to that person and they change on you, or they're not who you thought they were?(I exist through my need to self oblige) (She isn't real, I can't make her real) What happens when you lose yourself in them and you don't even know who you are anymore? (Carve my name in my face to recognize) It's about the fear of letting love take you over (I won't let this build up inside me)

Carve my name in my face, to recognize
Such a pheromone cult to terrorize

The experience of falling in love is such a phenominal, yet dangerous thing. If you don't know, and love who you are you can completely loose yourself, loose sight of who you are. I belive that the saying, you can't love someone until you first love yourself is so true. If you dont know, and love yourself first you then become someone much like the one you love to find your identity, and yet become all the more befuddled and confused, lost and alone. In the end you end up despising your self for it.
I'm a slave, and I am a master
No restraints and, unchecked collectors
I exist through my need, to self oblige
She is something in me, that I despise

i really love this song, i can really relate to it right now. i think its about falling in love with someone so much and not realising that they are not who you thought they were. but you cant leave because you still see them differently in your mind. "She isnt real, i cant make her real". he cant make the person he loves into the person he imagined. "i wont let this build up inside of me" he wants to get mad at her but he cant, because he is still infatuated with the person he fell so badly in love with

stay (sic) maggots, love slipknot

Slipknot in whole is amazing, like everyone has said, capturing emotions of people of all ages.
Everyone will interprit every song differently. To each person, a new meaning, when me and my bf we're first, "not offically dating and just friends" this was a song that we both grew attached to because we aren't soposed to love each other...
idk this song hit's close to home, I never thought a song could move someone so instantanously..

From post before :"“Vermillion” is the word for a vivid red to reddish orange colour – and red is typically the colour of anger, passion, lust, power, danger..."

Vermillion is red, and Coreys wife (which died :( ) was called Scarlet which is another word of red. So some people mean that the song is about his wife and how i feels about the way it ended.

Totally (sic) song, simply just love it..

I think this song is about the duality of being in love, and how all the amazing elements of being in love – the powerful attraction, they way you treasure and feel for that person – can mutate when that love goes wrong, in to emotions which are ugly but just as powerful.

He loves this girl and is intoxicated by her:
They share a fixed and crazy attraction. He makes her nervous, perverse (I think he means this in the best way ;) We all know what it's like to experience this passionate, intense surge of emotions when you really fall for someone, and are so sensually stimulated by them. She is everything and more. Solemn, hypnotic. She is home to him.

But this overwhelming crazy love is not working out: the stress is astounding, and she's the only one who makes him sad (I love the way Corey Taylor sings this line, it gives me goosebumps).

Love is such a potent complex emotion, it empowers you in that feeling so strongly for someone can be amazing, but it opens and weakens you to being hurt by them. “I’m a slave and I am a master, no restraints and unchecked collectors.” He doesn't say hates her, he says "She is something IN ME, that I despise" - he hates the effect she has on him, that the love he has for he makes him weak to her. He still wants and needs her and hates himself for it. “I exist through my need to self-oblige”.

He wills himself to not “let this build up inside of me”. His ideas of their potential and how perfect they could be together are much different from the reality; “she isn’t real, can’t make her real...”

“Vermillion” is the word for a vivid red to reddish orange colour – and red is typically the colour of anger, passion, lust, power, danger...
