"Vermilion" is a song by American metal band Slipknot. The song is released as the second single from their third album, Vol. 3: (The Subliminal Verses).
When the band plays the song live, they switch from their ordinary masks and wear their alternative "death masks", which is an actual cast of each member's face. However, during the All Hope Is Gone tour, most members, with the exception of bassist Paul Gray, Craig Jones, and Sid Wilson did not wear the death masks for the song.
Both songs have respective music videos. The video for "Pt. 1" was directed by Tony Petrossian and percussionist Shawn Crahan and the video for "Pt. 2" was directed by Mark Klasfeld. Both videos were shot in Los Angeles in late-August 2004. The woman in the videos is actress Janna Bossier. There is speculation over whether or not she was directly related to the band. The video is available on the CD single and the DVD; Voliminal: Inside the Nine, which was released in 2006.
She seems dressed in all the rings
Of past fatalities
So fragile yet so devious
She continues to see it
Climatic hands that press
Her temples and my chest
Enter the night that she came home
Forever
Oh (She's the only one that makes me sad)
She is everything and more
The solemn hypnotic
My Dahlia bathed in possession
She is home to me
I get nervous, perverse, when I see her it's worse
But the stress is astounding
It's now or never she's coming home
Forever
Oh (She's the only one that makes me sad)
Hard to say what caught my attention
Fixed and crazy, Aphid attraction
Carve my name in my face, to recognize
Such a pheromone cult to terrorize
I won't let this build up inside of me
I'm a slave, and I am a master
No restraints and, unchecked collectors
I exist through my need, to self oblige
She is something in me, that I despise
I won't let this build up inside of me
She isn't real, I can't make her real
She isn't real (She isn't real)
I can't make her real (can't make her real)
On a personal note, it's hard for me to listen to Slipknot since last year. I really think the world of great metal music is missing somebody.
So if you're going to post hateful remarks, just know I'll delete that and block you right away.
