Slipknot - Gently Lyrics






Gently my mind escapes into the relaxing mode of pleasure
A pleasure that will take my mind off the realities of my life
My past life

Life as I know it now
And whatever may come
It slowly disappears to somewhere in the back of my mind
It will remain there 'til I wish to retrieve it

Yes, I will stay here for awhile
For I need a break
A break from the pressures of life
And everything that lay in the palm of life's hands, life's hands

This mode is incredible
It's out of this world
Too bad I must always leave it
But that's life

That's life [3x]

Shift [5x]

Slipknot Gently Comments
  1. i.... m....

    I love Corey's hauntingly beautiful vocals throughout this song

  2. B.... t....

    The only song with two versions that both kick all ass

  3. S.... d....

    I love Slipknot like really am a true die-hard maggot.
    And even though it isn't Corey... I like the Version on mate-feed kill repeat better...
    it's really nothing personal against Cory it's just the song in general was done better on mfkr

  4. C.... G....

    I came here for 4:17

  5. L.... R....

    The feeling of listening this song and iowa is different, it feels more atmospheric in a way and gives me some chills

  6. 1.... ....

    Well, this song title was misleading.

  7. R.... ....

    Это песня из-за которой я захотел научиться играть на электрогитаре. Но так и не научился.

  8. L.... M....

    Arguably their heaviest song in its own respect ✊

  9. G.... M....

    4:21 how the frick do you do that

  10. S.... m....

    Disasterpiece is overrated this song is truly badass

  11. c.... r....

    Awesome!

  12. D.... C....

    OMG! The beginning of this song is soooo gently soft! then why does it become soooo ANGRY?!?!😁🤘🖕

  13. P.... M....

    This song is from Mate feed kill repeat album. I think I like that version better

  14. D.... G....

    3:46 to end is insane

  15. s.... ....

    The MFKR version of this song had a better intro, but this is also pretty damn good.

  16. M.... M....

    Am I the only one hearing "destroy" instead of "that's life" ?

  17. S.... m....

    I would like to find the dislikers & push my fingers into their eyes

  18. l.... m....

    I love it
    People keep listening everyday. Commenting, enjoying, sharing.
    It will live long

  19. E.... ....

    4:20 Metalcore scream!!!

  20. L.... T....

    4:21 this scream is incredible

  21. c.... f....

    3:45 this song is a legend of metal, a perferctexample of what was the neo metal in 2000’s

  22. -.... -....

    love Paul, for me he has not died, he is still among us, I do not want to know what others think, but for me he is still among us, at least in our hearts.

  23. V.... K....

    Anyone know what the whispering at the beginning is?

  24. M.... D....

    i fuckin luv this one

  25. 2.... ....

    What is this song about?

  26. D.... d....

    Reminds me of Pink Floyd's "echoes"

  27. b.... m....

    They need to have anderson sing and Corry do his screams

  28. S.... G....

    Extremely underrated song, the progression is masterful, that eerie intro then unfolds into a brutal onslaught of heavy metal bliss, intertwined with dark and articulate lyrics.

  29. W.... P....

    Anders C. version >>>>

  30. g.... ....

    This song is SICK! So much POWER

    g.... ....

    gu1lty I suppose you can say it's... SIC





    I'll just see myself out...

  31. j.... j....

    Honestly I would be happy if it was just that whispering for the whole song cause I love those more experimental sorta songs they put out but man This song builds and it's so good, may be my favourite on the album

  32. H.... R....

    Haven't listened to this one for almost 10 years. Finally I can appreciate it again and again. The vocals and atmosphere are amazing.

  33. J.... f....

    Anyone know of a good acoustic calm cover of this idk why but id love to see someone sing this

  34. C.... T....

    Just want to say that my oldest Son Stephen Mathew Blair past away June 20th so Slipknot is doing it for me ri

  35. R.... J....

    One of my favorite Slipknot songs of all time. No matter how many times I've heard it, it still gives me goosebumps.

  36. X.... G....

    It's kind of morbid to hear Paul's bassline during the first 2 minutes

  37. W.... ....

    The intro makes me cry sometimes. There's so much raw pain and emotion in those screams.
    And the instrumental is very atmospheric and haunting.

  38. P.... M....

    This song is amazing. It's a straight up villains song. He screams, damn near goes super sayin. Then serenades about how his mind eases into "this mode of pleasure."

  39. J.... S....

    Anyone got any throat lozenges ?

  40. F.... N....

    Let it sink in, this song as a disgusting and disturbing feel to it, the low tuning, vocal style, drums, guitar, bass..Everything. It all fits in, everyone talks about how good Iowa is but nobody brings up how the songs are written reinforces it. The percussion, drums, guitars, bass, effects, vocals and low tuning all have this dark and disgusting sound to it. Nobody gonna talk about how every sound made in this song all have one thing in common? They all have this dark, atmospheric, disgusting, deep and disturbing sound to it. I repeated myself a lot, I know, but I'm trying to get my point across and make it clear.

  41. R.... H....

    THIS MODE IS INCREDIBLE !!! 🤘🏽

  42. S.... Q....

    I think mkfr version is better

  43. G.... M....

    This was Paul's favourite song

  44. d.... J....

    This song kicks my ass

  45. M.... ....

    Always been a huge fan of slipknot/stone sour. Corey's voice is incredible

  46. F.... G....

    I prefer the old version much more

  47. S.... Q....

    Ahhhh that scream 4:21 is life man!!!!

  48. n.... ....

    Qual sua banda preferida dps de slipknot?

  49. m.... l....

    Still love tha original version

  50. R.... J....

    1:12 who else heads the THX sound?

  51. E.... ....

    Godddd yes

  52. I.... a....

    This song deseves more recognition. It my most favorite song, well along side People= Shit

  53. t.... 1....

    This is the greatest Slipknot song ever

  54. M.... P....

    if you play this at 75% speed, it turns into the best sludge song i've heard in a while

    M.... P....

    ok seriously tho, whoever decided this song needed to be this fast, fucked up. it's way heavier slow as fuck lol

  55. S.... J....

    Anyone in 2019

  56. V.... u....

    G.... S....

    You look like Jay Weinberg

  59. T.... T....

    Paul,💕💕💕💕

  60. H.... B....

    Hard to believe this album is almost 18 years old. I remember buying on the day it was released. Was then and still are ahead of thier time!

  61. d.... e....

    They will bring order to chaos.

  62. T.... D....

    They should have Jonathan Davis drop in on this tune live one show. Would be super creepy.

    T.... D....

    How about no

    T.... D....

    @B-Bro 3000Alright... bro.

  63. B.... K....

    This song has to have had the longest development. This was first written in like 1993 or something and had a version for like every demo slipknot made

  64. B.... K....

    One of the darkest albums ever made

  91. J.... H....

    Gently we fuckin love this song .. this is their best album point Blankk.

  92. C.... N....

    why does no one talk about the mfkr version though?

    C.... N....

    I don't think a lot of people know about that song.

    C.... N....

    To me the mfkr version and this one are two completely different songs. The mfkr one is pretty underrated though.

    C.... N....

    Mfkr version is shit.
