A "Heretic" is someone who opposes church doctrine. There is some religious context to this song, but the message is more broad in the sense of trusting your instincts and not blindly following the beliefs of others. Slipknot has always opposed convention and defied critics, which led them to great success. In this song, they encourage others to do so as well.
