A Liar’s Funeral

A Liar’s Funeral

Slipknot

Musically, this song progresses in a slow but painfully heavy atmosphere, almost resembling 2008’s “Snuff.” The song gives the listener the opportunity to go with Corey Taylor in yet another trip to his depression story, reflecting on how society looks at depressed people.

In this song, Corey seems to point his finger at the friends who looked down on him for his depression, calling them “liars” and advising the listener to never trust that type of people. This leaves him hopeless and it makes him feel like the only way to make them happy is dying. By doing that, he’s “playing his part”—that is to say, giving them what they really wanted.
