Craziest thing that ever happened to me was being attacked by a black bird. It pecked the shit out of my head. We were at this hotel called The Phoenix in San Francisco. We were leaving to go to a show the next morning and the bird just fuckin' attacked my head. And the next day Slipknot were there, they were coming in as we were leaving, and they got attacked by birds too.

When we first started out I had a really big issue and a lot of my loved ones had a really big issue with the fact that I was totally in pain up there and there was a time when I tried to hurt myself offstage, but I got over that. Like, you should never want to hurt yourself. You should love yourself. Sometimes you have to kind of die inside in order to rise from your own ashes and believe in yourself and love yourself and become a new person.
Ray Toro
The song is celebrating someone's life. When someone passes, you should focus on all the good that that person has done. Try not to really think about the fact that they're not gonna be on this earth any longer, that they had an effect on you and your life.

It's kind of dumb; everybody should be able to listen to the kind of music they want and just because you're a fan of a band for a longer period of time doesn't mean you have a greater stake of claim to the band or the music.
Mikey Way
There's absolutely a movement of a return to rock. Sometimes the good guys win. Kids are sick of the (expletive) pop and sick of being lied to. Everyone wants something real, something that was created to invoke a positive feeling.

Every time I come back to Jersey, it's ready to put its tentacles all over me and suck me right back in. If I'm home for more than three weeks, I forget I'm in a band. I start to fill out applications for supermarkets.
Emily Dickinson
- Because I Could Not Stop For Death
Because I could not stop for Death, he kindly stopped for me. The carriage held but just ourselves, and Immortality. We slowly drove, he knew no haste, and I had put away my labour and my leisure too, for his civility. We passed the school where children played, their lessons scarcely done. We passed the fields of gazing grain. We passed the setting sun.
Emily Dickinson
- I'm a Nobody, Who Are You?
I'm a nobody, who are you? Are you a nobody too? Then there's a pair of us. Don't tell! They'd banish us you know. How dreary to be somebody, how public like a frog. To tell your name, the live long day, to an admiring bog.
Lindsey Way
Every night, I sweat, I get hurt and I don't stop until the job is done because I want every little girl in the crowd to believe it's possible that they can do this.
