In a conversation with Kerrang Slipknot‘s Clown talked about the importance of music in his life and the themes to the lyrics.

Clown said:

“If I had to give up music for, say, art, I couldn’t do it, because music is the one thing I’ve had my whole life.

“If I have an argument with someone I love, I have music and I have a song that represents my feelings, and I play it over and over and over again. It really simplifies your emotions.”

He added:

“There’s a lot of love behind Slipknot’s music – not just pain or anger. And I mean, love ends up being one of the biggest pains, you know? Also, it ends up becoming one of the easiest things to display, because we’ve all lost it, and we all feel it. The hardest thing to do is to love.

“I can take the most beautiful thing and create my art and music and you would feel it. I’m not saying you would say I was making it ugly or angry or painful, but I just think that I have a staple way of presenting the temperature, feelings, colors, and emotions of my brain out into this reality.”
