Background[]
The End, So Far[]
On July 19th, the album's full tracklist was leaked on Twitter.[1] And later in the day the band officially announced the album, The End, So Far, along with the music video for the second single; "The Dying Song (Time to Sing)".[2]
- "'Adderall' is my version of melancholy Sunday, basically, and it's setting the tone for the rest of the album. Lyrically, it's looking inside to be able to pull things out."
- —Corey Taylor[3]
Adderall EP[]
On May 24th, information about an upcoming EP was leaked onto "VK Filter" and was later reposted onto Reddit.[4] The reddit post included the EP's name, release date and artwork, with the track listing being found in the comments.[5] On the suspected day of release, the reddit leaker shared an update, stating that the release date had been changed with the EP releasing 2 weeks later on June 9th.[6] Despite the EP being delayed, it appeared on the music streaming app "Trebel Music" with users able to download and listen to the songs.[7]
Promotion for the EP began on June 8th, with a cryptic video uploaded onto Slipknot's social media displaying nine mannequins wearing suits and sitting in a large room covered in a plastic tarp. The video also contained a short clip featuring the youcantkillme.com URL.[8] Visiting this website, people were greeted by an embedded YouTube video for "Death March".[9][10] The next day, the EP was released on streaming platforms and a video for the rough mix of "Adderall" was also shared.[11]
Lyrics[]
[Verse 1]
Shallow graves and deepest fears
No one tells me why I'm here
Leather straps on stapled eyes
Gotta scream to cut your ties
Can't subtract from Adderall
Pull you in before you fall
Not as sweet as it appears
Someone tell me why I'm here
[Chorus]
Ooh, you know I'm gone
Ooh, you go, I'm onto you now
[Verse 2]
All they want is your control
For the bible scares me so
Smell the ones that came here last
Must've lost the game too fast
We don't read between the lines
Cut too deep to see the signs
Watch me as my blood runs cold
Now your bible can take hold
[Chorus]
Ooh, you know I'm gone
Ooh, you go, I'm onto you now
Ooh, you know I'm gone
Ooh, you go, I'm onto you now, I'm onto you
[Refrain]
Which side do I want to be
This side's got a hold on me
Don't try this home for me now
(Slide away from thoughts and prayers the easy way)
Which side do I want to be
This side's got a hold on me
Don't try this home for me now
(Slide away from thoughts and prayers the easy way)
[Chorus]
Ooh, you go, I'm onto you now
Ooh, you go, I'm onto you now
[Intro]
Ooh
[Verse 1]
Hollow stakes to deepest fears
No one tells me why I'm here
Leather straps on stapled eyes
Gotta scream to cut your ties
Can't subtract from Adderall
Pull you in before you fall
Not as sweet as it appears
Someone tell me why I'm here
[Chorus]
Ooh, you know I'm gone
Ooh, you go, I'm onto you now
[Verse 2]
All they want is your control
For the bible scares me so
Smell the ones that came here last
Must've lost the game too fast
We don't read between the lines
Cut too deep to see the signs
Watch me as my blood runs cold
Now your bible can take hold
[Chorus]
Ooh, you know I'm gone
Ooh, you go, I'm onto you now
Ooh, you know I'm gone
Ooh, you go, I'm onto you now, I'm onto you
[Refrain]
This side's got a plan for me
This side's got a plan for me
This side's got a plan for me now
[Chorus]
Ooh, you know, I'm onto you now
