“Arsenal” by Slipknot is a furious meditation on chaos, defiance, inner conflict, and survival. Corey Taylor confronts doubt, criticism, mental turmoil, and the pressure to remain relevant while turning anger into fuel. The track moves between aggression and self-awareness, capturing Slipknot’s instinct to fight through uncertainty rather than quietly accept defeat.
Arsenal Lyrics
[Intro]
I hope no bad people show up
[Verse 1]
I reminisce about the confidence that comes with the chaos
I know how to dominate at all costs
The prison in my head had the cells tossed
I fought a fuckin’ god and the god lost
Sinners, come hither
We can break the rules and leave home or get old and stay bitter
Nothin’ in the world can surprise me
I know all the demons despise me
[Pre-Chorus]
I got a lot to fuckin’ say
And if you didn’t listen, you didn’t hear me anyway
[Chorus]
Let’s go, let’s go, let’s go, let’s
Let’s go, let’s go, let’s go
Let’s go, let’s go, let’s go, let’s
Let’s go, let’s go, let’s go
[Post-Chorus]
Shut, shut the fuck up
Shut the fuck up
Shut, shut
Shut the fuck up
[Verse 2]
Now I can go a million miles an hour with the best of ’em
But you just wouldn’t fuckin’ understand like the rest of ’em
What’s the point of belligerence and syllables
That spill out of dirigibles and make the people irritable?
Just slow the fuck down
Add a pause to it, put a stop to it
I know I’m a hack and a has-been but motherfucker
I’m a .45, not a MAC-10
(Oh god, not again)
I don’t want to be a fad, I wanna feel it
I don’t wanna be a trick, I wanna treat it like a fact (What’s that?)
But what the fuck is a fact?
It’s like the truth (What’s that?)
But what the fuck is the truth?
Well the truth is the world is a killer with no cure
Nobody cares when the drugs are so pure
[Pre-Chorus]
I got a lot to fuckin’ say
And if you didn’t listen, you didn’t hear me anyway
[Chorus]
Let’s go, let’s go, let’s go, let’s
Let’s go, let’s go, let’s go
Let’s go, let’s go, let’s go, let’s
Let’s go, let’s go, let’s go
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
I wish the voices in my head would find a different subject
Change it up or shut the fuck up, crazy does it
Everyone’s a TV show but there’s nothin’ worth watchin’
I don’t give a shit, I gotta go
I said I gotta go, goddamn it, no, shut the fuck up, stop
Stop the fuckin’ music, goddamn it, shut the fuck up
[Breakdown]
‘Round here, I’m God and I eat the saints
I got a lot of blood ’cause I’m out of fuckin’ paint
I’m caustic, agnostic
From a distance you’re a looker but you’re lookin’ exhausted
Armageddon has begun, what a concept
Pharmaceuticals can fill you full of contempt
When I swallow the proof, it’s obnoxious
I better hurry up and trust the fuckin’ process
[Chorus]
Let’s go, let’s go, let’s go, let’s
Let’s go, let’s go, let’s go
Let’s go, let’s go, let’s go, let’s
Let’s go, let’s go, let’s go
Let’s go, let’s go, let’s go, let’s
Let’s go, let’s go, let’s go
Let’s go, let’s go, let’s go, let’s
Let’s go, let’s go, let’s go
[Outro]
And to set free a suffering humanity
