Sitting in the dark, I can't forget.
Even now, I realize the time I'll never get
Another story of the bitter pills of fate
I can't go back again
I can't go back again
But you asked me to love you, and I did.
Traded my emotions for a contract to commit
And when I got away, I only got so far
The other me is dead
I hear his voice inside my head
And we were never alive
And we won't be born again
But I'll never survive
With dead memories in my heart
Dead memories in my heart
Dead memories in my heart
You told me to love you, and I did.
Tied my soul into a knot and got me to submit
So when I got away, I only kept my scars
The other me is gone
Now I don't know where I belong
And we were never alive
And we won't be born again
But I'll never survive
With dead memories in my heart
Dead memories in my heart
Dead memories in my heart
Dead memories in my heart
Dead visions in your name
Dead fingers in my veins
Dead memories in my heart
Dead memories in my heart
Dead memories in my heart
Dead memories in my heart

Review about Dead Memories Woah! | Reviewer: Stephanie | 7/21/09
I don't know what the song is supposed to mean I just know what it means to me. The first time I heard it, it was by watching the video on MTV. I nearly fell off the couch. My first reaction was "Good God. This song fits me perfectly!" Its scary, almost, how the lyrics just seem to go with my life. Plus Corey Taylor has an amazing voice!
i believe in this music video it shows what he means, that it shows he doesnt know what he wants to be (in the beginning of the video), himself or slipknot, he chooses slipknot by 'digging up' his past. then when he is back in slipknot he starts explaining why he choose them over himself:sitting in the dark i cant forget, then he relizes it not all he thought it would be once he is back in and says this will just be another story of the bitter pills of fate, but he already made his choice so he cant go back again. in the end he finnally relizes all he has with slipknot is dead memories. but maybe instead of being slipknot or himself he could be both and thats when it shows both of them in the end.
meaning | Reviewer: Anonymous | 6/3/09
People forget that the artist doesnt want you to know the meaning.The true meaning of a song is what you make it.The same song can mean diffrent things to diffrent people.It depends on your life experiences.
It is slipknot's best | Reviewer: Joel | 5/16/09
i disagree that it's not there best song the metaphores and guitar riffs with malotic undertones are what make it so bad ass the lyrics are abviously about the band not a girl friend or suicide. when he says "Traded my emotions for a contract to commit" hes saying that he signed the publishing contract when he really didnt think it was that good compared to stone sour which was his band before slipknot, thats why mainstream has now adopted stone sour as the greater band which in manyways they are more talented, but dont hate me just yet! slipknot is not about main stream they have there own sound which makes them what they are, and thats why there my favorite band since the beging before alot of you knew who they were. but just because a song does go main stream does not mean it sucks, its just that it flirts with the line between the two, mainstream and underground which is were I personally would love them to stay at.
Main Stream Society and Slipknot | Reviewer: Anonymous | 5/9/09
So only Slipknot fans can say what this song is about. It is not about a break up. It is a song to all the old Slipknot fans that said Slipknot was a sell out for making new styles of music. If you are going to act like you know it all at least get facts straight and dont be a smart alike. Dead Memories is a great but is slowly becoming like Wait and Bleed because those who believe they are Slipknot fans over play it even though this is not their best song.
this song is awsome | Reviewer: jason taylor | 4/23/09
this song is one of the best songs that i have ever heard i bought the album just so i could listen to this song oh and the e-mail adress is my mothers because i don't have one yet THIS SONG IS AWSOME
pointless | Reviewer: does not matter | 2/23/09
I really like this song and I usually don't reply to stuff like this but I think people need to understand that there is only one person who knows the meaning of this song and that is the person that wrote it the true slipknot and music fans know that singers don't always write the lyrics there are two other main songwriters in this band just keep things like this in mind before you go to war with people you don't know and things you don't really know about for sure
painful | Reviewer: Dan | 2/19/09
This is a great song. It speaks of a broken relationship, and I have to admit that, as corny as this sounds, I feel like it's about the kind of thing I've gone through with my girlfriend. definitely something to listen to, possibly the best slipknot song to date
great idea and very well written | Reviewer: ben | 2/7/09
great song. reminds a little bit of Tool and Metallica's "Enter Sandman". this is probably a song most Slipknot fans will just throw out essentially, but it's really a very smartly written song.
this song is obviously about Corey's relationship with Slipknot. the line "when i got away i only got so far" is an allusion to Stone Sour and Corey eventually going back to Slipknot. also if you watch the video and interpret it you'll figure out that i and the two others who posted before me got the song meaning right(that guy with the shovel IS corey by the way).
when he said he tried to left was when he went to do that stone sour band
he is older and more mature and is tired of the old slipknot yet he can't get away from it because he still loves it to him slipknot is a love/hate relationship
