Slipknot - Yen

Slipknot's official audio for "Yen" off their album 'The End, So Far', available worldwide September 30.

LYRICS:
You’re the sin that I’ve been waiting for
The hands around my throat, it’s all I can think about
The Smell of Sweat and Blood
I would feed you all my pleasures just to drown in all of yours
Have you heard of me… are you hurting me…?
Let me savor what I’m waiting for, a chance to make me choke
You’re all I can think about… the Taste is Red and Rust
Can I hold you in my mouth until I fade into this form?
Can you cover me… will you BREATHE for me…?

AS THE KNIFE GOES IN- CUT ACROSS MY SKIN
WHEN MY DEATH BEGINS I WANT TO KNOW THAT I WAS DYING FOR YOU
I DIED FOR YOU
AS THE KNIFE GOES IN- CUT ACROSS MY SKIN
WHEN MY DEATH BEGINS I WANT TO KNOW THAT I WAS DYING FOR YOU
I DIED FOR YOU

Don’t know what has happened yet, a surge of panicked zeal
Worry when it’s not effect- this game is fine by me
All the words for retribution only add up to revenge
Overpower me…. And devour me…

AS THE KNIFE GOES IN- CUT ACROSS MY SKIN
WHEN MY DEATH BEGINS I WANT TO KNOW THAT I WAS DYING FOR YOU
I DIED FOR YOU
AS THE KNIFE GOES IN- CUT ACROSS MY SKIN
WHEN MY DEATH BEGINS I WANT TO KNOW THAT I WAS DYING FOR YOU
I DIED FOR YOU

Show Me All The Deaths Are The Same/Show Me You’ll Remember My Name
Show Me All The Deaths Are The Same/You Will Remember My Name

I wish this pain could last forever… forever
I wish this kill could make me suffer… for good

AS THE KNIFE GOES IN- CUT ACROSS MY SKIN
WHEN MY DEATH BEGINS I WANT TO KNOW THAT I WAS DYING FOR YOU
I DIED FOR YOU
AS THE KNIFE GOES IN- CUT ACROSS MY SKIN
WHEN MY DEATH BEGINS… I KNOW THAT I AM DYING FOR YOU
I’LL DIE FOR YOU…

"your hands around my throat" come on, Corey. Be realistic. With your neck, she would have to have some sasquatch hands to wrap that around

[yusri]

"As the knife goes in, cut across my skin, when my death begins
I wanna know that I was dying for you, I died for i love this lyrics!!!

[themarszeppelin]

3:39-4:11 is the most beautiful thing i have ever listened to in metal. I wish this was longer. God i love that part.

[roblankwx]

bro, this song is perfect on all levels, the guitar, the drums, the percussion feelings, and corey's voice is brilliant

[sttrogdor]

This is one of the best Slipknot songs ever written.

[xvor_tex]

The single most vocally unique song from Corey, the range on this guy is insane

[chrisxxc]

This gives me old school slipknot vibes even the drums in this I miss joey but this drummer is amazing let him go crazy

[EzraPaco]

Masterpiece! Love Sid's moment of shine there. The sliding guitar chords, the groove heavy but sultry, Craig even stands out, Perfection!

[axelmanuelmacedomendez]

Those guitar riffs are insane, I think all members from Slipknot are doing a great job on this record

[Ktaavfx]

This song just reminds me how much slipknot will always be a legendary metal band and why they will go down in metal history as one of the best metal bands

[gestatryputra]

Sid's solo is all I wanted. This shit hits me hard. Always play on repeat today

[Nothanks]

Slipknot is like an old friend that is always there at the right time. Thats what I think... Awesome track. Can't wait for the album.

[tylerblanchard]

As much as Corey always talks about how the next album is “Iowa heavy” I don’t even care at this point. They’ve evolved so far beyond Iowa. I’ve had the chorus of yen stuck in my head since it came out and I can’t wait for the full album. Don’t get me wrong though….mick….James…I want to hear you guys with an 8 string

[OmarRodriguez-vqpo]

Their music has gotten me through some of the darkest times in my life. Thank you Slipknot.

[banditsmurf]

As this song played, I was driving . Now I’m not sure if it was the time of day or the stars aligned perfectly but this song went with every twist and turn the road had . Song ended at a red light . Perfect timing . Perfect driving song . Bandit approved 🤘

[barcaforlife]

I don't care what the haters have to say about Slipknot, their music got me through some tough shit in life. Slipknot is a blessing

[andrewstableford]

I’m a 51 year old metal and hip hop fan. I can’t hang with most modern metal today but Slipknot always brings the heavy while keeping it listenable. Love this band.

[Daggz]

Can't believe this is gonna be my first album cycle with these guys. Started listening to them in early 2020 and now two years later, we're finally getting new stuff! I've listened to their entire discography from their beginnings, to now, and even some of their super obscure shit. It's gonna be crazy to now hear something new that is also new to everyone else. Can't wait for September 30th!

[ryanbeckett]

The transition from screams to melancholic clean vocals is what makes SlipKnot so amazing, amongst many, many other things
