"Snuff" lyrics
"Snuff"
Bury all your secrets in my skin
Come away with innocence, and leave me with my sins
The air around me still feels like a cage
And love is just a camouflage for what resembles rage again
So if you love me, let me go
And run away before I know
My heart is just too dark to care
I can't destroy what isn't there
Deliver me into my fate
If I'm alone I cannot hate
I don't deserve to have you
Ooh my smile was taken long ago
If I can change I hope I never know
I still press your letters to my lips
And cherish them in parts of me that savor every kiss
I couldn't face a life without your light (Without your light)
But all of that was ripped apart when you refused to fight
So save your breath, I will not hear
I think I made it very clear
You couldn't hate enough to love
Is that supposed to be enough?
I only wish you weren't my friend
Then I could hurt you in the end
I never claimed to be a saint
Ooh my own was banished long ago
It took the death of hope to let you go
Oh, oh
So break yourself against my stones
And spit your pity in my soul
You never needed any help
You sold me out to save yourself
And I won't listen to your shame
You ran away, you're all the same
Angels lie to keep control
Ooh my love was punished long ago
If you still care, don't ever let me know
If you still care, don't ever let me know

"Snuff" was released by Slipknot on September 28, 2009 as the fifth single from their album "All Hope Is Gone". The lyrics of the power ballad express lead singer Corey Taylor's feelings towards his ex girlfriend and their breakup.
In an interview with Kerrang! magazine, Corey Taylor said: "This is the slow one. It's another personal one. Again, not naming names, it's about someone who helped me through a lot and I thought she felt the same way that I did and then she really let me down. At the same time, it was good that she did, because it was that final push to me figuring out myself. The lyrics are pretty self-explanatory."
The
music video for "Snuff" shows Corey Taylor, heartbroken and upset, barging into his ex girlfriend's apartment. They don't seem to notice each other's presence; Taylor is recollecting memories of her in the living room, while the woman gets herself ready in the bathroom. She then leaves without him realizing. Taylor eventually goes into a rage, seriously injuring himself, and at the end it is shown that the woman who left is actually a cross-dressed Corey Taylor, revealing some sort of deeper meaning.
The song charted at number two on the Billboard Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks chart, surpassing "Dead Memories" and being their highest-charted single at the time.
