Robbed
When I was first diagnosed with bipolar disorder, I had been incredibly happy before my breakdown began. I lost everything about my life that had made me so happy. I still harbor some feelings that my illness robbed me of a potentially wonderful future, though my life is a good one.
For me, this song embodies what it feels like to have lost a whole future I had planned for myself and how hard it is to move forward in recovery while sometimes getting stuck looking back at everything I used to have. My life, though good, is a near constant struggle to function like a normal person and I can't help but resent the fact that I have to go through that on a daily basis.
Living with a serious mental illness is a very difficult thing for me and everyone around me. I catch myself saying, "It's not fair!" Thinking that way does no good, but when things get as difficult as they sometimes do I can't help but wish it would just go away. Those are the times I look back at everything I used to have and everything I wished I had the chance to do and never will.
The song is not a "typical" Slipknot song, but a more soft and acoustic. I find it rather beautiful, and even if I didn't like Slipknot's style I would like this song. The whole video is just the image you see on the preview.
"Circle"
Give me the dust of my fathers
Stand on the face of the ancients
Bare the secret flesh of time itself
Follow me... I've some so far, I'm behind again
Follow me... I wish so hard, I'm there again
Follow me...
All that I wanted were things I had before
All that I needed, I never needed more
All of my questions are answers to my sins
And all of my endings are waiting to begin
I know the way, but I falter
I can't be afraid of my patience
There's a sacred place Razel keeps safe
Follow me... I've seen so much, I'm blind gain
Follow me... I feel so bad, I'm alive again
Follow me...
All that I wanted were things I had before
All that I needed, I never needed more
All of my questions are answers to my sins
And all of my endings are waiting to begin
