Finale

Finale

Slipknot

The title of this song, along with the title of the record and the fact that this is the final song on the album both seem to indicate that this was potentially meant as a sort of “swan song” for Slipknot. Being their final album signed to Roadrunner Records, the future of the group and further releases are now uncertain; the song’s lyrics along with its melodic and emotional delivery further evidence this and appear to mirror Corey’s thoughts and reflections on the band’s journey from the start all the way up to now, and ultimately sum up the message behind the record’s title; they don’t want this to be the end…….but there’s no guarantee it’s not.
