Wait and Bleed is the debut grammy-nominated single released by nu metal band Slipknot from their eponymous 1999 debut album, Slipknot. The song is Slipknot's only entry on the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at #67. The song is about a man who is dreaming that he slit his wrists and is sitting in his bathtub, bleeding. He later realizes that he is not dreaming, and all he can do is "Wait and Bleed."

[edit] Music video
There are two music videos for "Wait and Bleed". One was a live performance on Welcome To Our Neighborhood; the other was done in claymation. In the claymation version, the band are doll-like clay figures inside a lab inhabited by a man trying to catch the band. Eventually, the band makes the man trip, and causes insects to sting him from dropping a jar. The man then looks over the band once Chris covers him in a fuel, before Shawn sets the man alight.
