and the rain will kill us all
we throw ourselves against the wall
but no one else can see
the preservation of the martyr in me
what brilliancy lies within the mind of corey taylor the lead singer of the metal band slipknot

The artist's symbolism is clearly unparalleled. This is a refined work of a troubled soul.
This passage illustrates the existential anguish of the author. "and the rain will kill us all" symbolises the fact that our existence will eventually end. Taken in contest with the rest of the verses, this suggests a slow death, with the image of eventually being overwhelmed by countless rain droplets. The next verse is meant to illustrate the senseless struggle that mankind must endure against the inevitability of its own demise. The feelings of helplessness depicted by the second verse are paired and amplified by feelings on loneliness coming from the 3rd verse. The fragment ends on a more hopeful note, acknowledging that a human's very existence is plagued by suffering, and as such, is to be considered an act of martyrdom.

A shadow not so dark.
