Vermilion Pt. 2" is a haunting continuation of the "Vermilion" story, complete with acoustic guitar, violin and singer Corey Taylor's pained, vulnerable delivery. The melody and the overriding theme run through both versions, making them integral pieces to the same complex puzzle. "The differences (between the two tracks) are subtle — 'Vermilion Pt. 1' is about the enrapturing, the buildup, the anticipation and the neurosis," says Taylor. "'Part 2' is the aftermath, the pieces that have to be picked up later, and maybe the guilt of having lived through it." http://www.slipknot-metal.com/main.php?sk=songmeaning That is what i found. I love that song!

I kind of at first thought the song(s) was about a stalker but over time I kind of thought of it could also be an idea of a person in his head, someone not real but he wants so bad for her to be real, or an obsession with someone he cannot attain or whom has died. I think it's also a personal song, the title Vermillion is a shade of red, his wife's name is Scarlette.
