“Solway Firth” is the second single from Slipknot’s sixth album, We Are Not Your Kind. The title is likely a reference to the “Solway Firth Spaceman” which is an image of a little girl and a “spaceman” standing in the background. The photographer swears that the spaceman wasn’t there before.

Hence the song talks about fabrication or false portrayal, or maybe literally just the idea of something being there when in truth it’s not.

Solway Firth is also a place in the United Kingdom; to be precise, it is a firth that forms part of the border between England and Scotland.
