Talking exclusively on Slipknot's YouTube channel, Shawn Crahan reveals the idea behind The Devil In I is to become one with your past devils then to do away with them.

As such the various members of Slipknot are killed in different but significant ways - Sid Wilson eats his own hands and fingers so he can no longer DJ, Chris Fehn (who has a genuine fear of birds) chose to be eaten alive by crows and Corey Taylor chose to have his head explode.
