Purity (slipknot song)

Ok,I don't know if any Maggot on either this site or MySpace or any social website knows this but I found out that Slipknot's song Purity was mainly dedicated to a girl named Adrianne Purity Knight who was in fact 20 years old in college,heres the...

meaning of that song:

The song Purity was written when Corey came across a website. Adrianne Purity Knight was a 20 year old college student who was stalked by an obsessed ex-lover. Eventually, this man ended up burying young Purity in a homemade wooden box alive. She died. Shawn: It's like this - whether it's real or not, it affected Corey very much, the thought of it - so it was able to influence him - the song is not directly one hundred percent about it.

Corey: I still think its real - see the thing whether it's true or not, it's a real story - that we read about - that fu*ked our whole world up - can you imagine a girl being buried in a box and having all this lecherous bullsh*t drip down on her from this guy? And thinking that there is hope, because this kid is taking some bizarre note to this guy he doesn't even know - thinking that you are holding on to the shirt of hope - and you wake up and you're dead you're buried in mud - they find the note about a week later shoved in a library book for gods sakes - it just hurts your head - it's a case of what is good and bad in people - the box alone is reason enough to be like, 'I cant stand to be fu*king human' - how can someone fu*king do this to somebody? What is inside of us that is so fu*king wrong?

I personally agree with Corey,why would someone want to kill an innocent girl like that? It's just fu*king wrong!

This is based on a true story about a woman who was abducted by a man and his wife. She was tortured, degraded, and confined during the day in a small box no bigger than a coffin for 6 years. The woman became conditioned with Stockholm Syndrome. This condition sometimes occurs when a person finally gives themselves willing to their captor and believes they are in love with them, or at least understands and accepts their captivity without resistance.

Lead singer Corey Taylor wrote the lyrics after seeing the story on a website about Adrianne Purity Knight, was was a 20 year old college student. She was stalked by a former boyfriend who buried her in a homemade wooden coffin where she died.

Corey Taylor: Can you imagine a girl being buried in a box and having all this lecherous bulls--t drip down on her from this guy? And thinking that there is hope, because this kid is taking some bizarre note to this guy he doesn't even know - thinking that you are holding on to the shirt of hope - and you wake up and you're dead, you're buried in mud - they find the note about a week later shoved in a library book. It just hurts your head, it's a case of what is good and bad in people. The box alone is reason enough to be like, 'I cant stand to be f--king human.' What is inside of us that is so f--king wrong? He had written quotes from Edgar Allen Poe and lots of f--ked up things on the box.
