Skinny Puppy - Addiction Lyrics






Desperate deranged talking in my sleep again eyes twitch
Retain a sentimental something looked lorn and we burned and burned
I was a cinder body soul in my dreams breakdown amidst the mixtures
Avoid addictive plea responding disillusion encrusted cruelty decribe
Why nails enclose me eating so evenly there exists a lot of reasons
To support fatality abstience possessed hardly what you think it is
Hearts beat positive provided there's progress ignorance does insist of
The right coffin took some food offered me can't see myself drank the
Wine wished the feverish burst of terror breakdown amidst the
Mixtures avoid addictive plea insist that nothing happened chilled
Bloodless fatigue recharge with bitterness fanatics beckoning mistook
A look impassioned absorbed with clarity consciousness drifts away
Discarded memory packaged shelf life bad display breakdown amidst
The mixtures avoid addictive plea excessive near romances comfort
Is treachery so pound the nails in tight eyes screaming out of sight
Against a grain like curtain unbearably alive

    I LIKE SKINNY PUPPY !!!...

  2. D.... N....

    This song slaps so hard I had to go to the ER.

  3. J.... R....

    Aimalistic raw tone

  4. P.... 6....

    "Abandon all hope, ye who enter here; Fluted and Bored Muskets and 9mms"
    As near as I can tell, Hell is where they mix the remedial with the scholarly and that perfect average and Heaven are those cities of average intelligence and sophomoric wits on either side of the bell curve...either way, Dante' was only partially right and his sign needs some work...Hey, a prince is the least of his people. That's what so twisted. Would you pass a rifling test?

  5. Z.... Z....

    Going through a bad breakup and I can't stop listening to them.. this was one of his fav industrial bands.

  6. e.... t....

    Crazy never heard any thing close to this quality of electronic music.

  7. S.... P....

    Who is still jamming SP in 2020?🤘

    S.... P....

    I will be until I drop dead.

    S.... P....

    Skinny Puppys older tracks age like a fine bottle of wine,...just keeps gettin betta....as do we. Peace.

    S.... P....

    This, Godflesh, Ministry, Front, NIN., everything when in this specific mood

  8. P.... M....

    My first encounter with sp was a room full of dudes on acid listening

  9. B.... N....

    I Love Skinny Puppy

  10. N.... I....

    When you understand that the entity Skinny Puppy stands upon broken glass enveloped within smoldering ashes then you will accept their continuing works as the vomit of reality exposing itself for fodder of new glimpse of what is to come.

  11. B.... W....

    Best 5 bands ever in no particular order.
    Skinny Puppy, Fugazi, The Beatles, Prince and Beastie Boys

  12. C.... ....

    ...against the grain I cut and, I'm barely alive...

  13. R.... P....

    I opened one of the gates and fell in , but i looked to the side and became over taken , and still cant get out .. but i dont want to get out , but thats my addiction .

  14. T.... T....

    I always preferred the First Dose mix.

  15. M.... ....

    Desperate deranged talking in my sleep again
    Eyes twitch retain a sentimental something
    Looked lorn and we burned and burned
    I was a cinder body soul in my dreams

    Breakdown amidst the mixtures
    Avoid addictive plea
    Responding disillusion
    Encrusted cruelty
    Describe why nails enclose me
    Eating so evenly
    There exists a lot of reasons
    To support fatality

    Abstinence possessed hardly what you think it is
    Hearts beat positive provided there's progress
    Ignorance does insist of the right coffin
    Took some food offered me can't see myself
    Drank the wine wished the feverish burst of terror

    Breakdown amidst the mixtures
    Avoid addictive plea
    Insist that nothing happened
    Chilled bloodless fatigue
    Recharge with bitterness
    Fanatics beckoning
    Mistook a look impassioned
    Absorbed with clarity

    Consciousness drifts away
    Discarded memory
    Packaged shelf life bad display

    Breakdown amidst the mixtures
    Avoid addictive plea
    Excessive near romances
    Comfort is treachery
    So pound the nails in tight
    Eyes screaming out of sight
    Against a grain like curtain
    Unbearably alive

    M.... ....

    I named my little girl kaiya Clarity

  16. N.... R....

  20. T.... A....

    Amazing

  21. S.... S....

    Skinny Puppy and Portion Control . The Kings of type this of music.

  22. P.... 6....

    Morgoth in the media, One ☝ ring rules them all. Sword training near the park, taking-off on the falchion, Archimedean simple machines, the conquests of Herna'n Corte's, the tactics of 508, the wise man from the pyramid in "The Black Pullet" , A society increasingly historically inept and on drugs.

  23. F.... ....

    The addiction is real, people disgrace us the professional ask us if we are real... I feel like this system is built on money and no trust

  24. D.... L....

    who are the 49 assholes that gave this a thumbs down???

  25. T.... B....

    The music matched the war in my head and in my soul......the battle is real.

  26. G.... ....

    Look. Do not fick with me

  27. A.... S....

    Talking in my sleep again.
    Hmmm?????
    Wonder how many here actually find this as close to the bone after trauma as can be? This was not ever a let us get to the top 40 nor let us relate approach the ppl to obtain validation.

  28. J.... G....

    Man, this brings back memories... 1987.. groundbreaking mind shaking good stuff

  29. M.... ....

    this is one of the best songs of skinny puppy! it has a hidden magic, revealing a great beauty - like many of puppy songs. very best albums: all from "Bites" till "Rabies" and "Brap" (what a huge discover of never before released old stuff!) - and watch out for puppy side projects!! shows the wide spectrum of genius they had (specially Rudolph Goettel R.I.P.): Hilt, Doubting Thomas

  30. A.... S....

    Still beautiful after all these decades

  31. S.... G....

    I think she'd like to retire, but her privious plan has been to move to Mexico with a Sociopath to grow olg with. I would rather send her back to Covina or to her Granddaughter in Hollond. If My fucking Sister would talk to Me about it...

  32. s.... f....

    I think, the devil is very involved with all these kind of projects, that´s why this band is so good.

  33. S.... F....

    Skinny Puppy is so dark and nasty, it's like being really high and pissing razor blades out your dick hole. I had no idea what I was listening to when I was 14... my parents would of died knowing this is what I was zoned out listening to in my bedroom.

  34. J.... L....

    James's Addiction.

  35. M.... ....

    Mind bending music! Thank you Skinny Puppy for what you do!!!!

  36. S.... M....

    i love it

  37. B.... W....

    Skinny Puppy, Killing Joke, NIN, KMFDM, Prodigy, Chemical Brothers, Apex Twins...🕯🕯🕯

    Skinny Puppy created dark industrial rock.

  38. J.... L....

    Live version from the In Solvent Seas Concert may be even vvay better.

  39. w.... ....

    dat bass guitar synth

  40. E.... C....

    "I wa s a cynder bodied soul in my dream" is this partially based on Behind The Wall Of Sleep By Hp Lovecraft

  41. D.... v....

    Although I’ve pleasant memories about this album, it’s not their best. Maybe their most succesfull though in the sense that it established their name as one of the leading acts in the genre.
    Best album imo are Bites and Mind. But I love the disco esque atmo of Remission as well
    Great band, hate the noise bullshit from later period in which they obviously sufferd from a major creative anaemie.

  42. J.... L....

    Best Drug song .....EVER!!!!

  43. D.... A....

    con skinny te van a pasar muchas cosas menos pasar inadvertido das..

  44. J.... B....

    Taken from a great album, a great tune

  45. N.... 0....

    Throbbing gristle + fad gadget + meth + heroin = skinny puppy

  46. N.... P....

    i was 17 when this came out, I was in Vancouver at a record store and asked the guy at the counter what kind of music wasn't selling that people hated, he told me "you look like you need skinny puppy"... I brought the cassette to the Island and pirated tapes for some friends and that's pretty much how we found industrial music in Port Alberni back then... we used to be into Day-Glo Abortions and GBH, a lot of Canadian punk back then and local area gigs in Nanaimo and Victoria... this was embraced with glee

    N.... P....

    " what kind of music wasn't selling that people hated" lmao OG hipster

    N.... P....

    I bought their cassette out of the discount bin at a record store for a near giveaway price ... listened a few times and then recorded something else over it - it was actually cheaper than buying a blank cassette ..... then changed my mind and went back to buy another skinny puppy cassette and been a fan ever since.

    N.... P....

    This wasn't on MTV in the 80s...would have been a big hit....

  47. b.... m....

    the hell is pacquia0 doing there

  48. F.... ....

    I love skinny puppy... they make more sense when it comes to psychiatries who just won’t listen to reason. :3

  49. N.... P....

    I used to skateboard to school with a cassette player and headphones when I first got to Port Alberni on Vancouver Island in British Columbia. I was the first "alternative" that town had ever seen... a few metalheads wanted to know what a skateboard was and we became the pariahs of that town until we all graduated a couple years later... showed them what a tag was, we taught kids how to skate, we even dared each other and I did coffin skated on a road under semi trucks that would freak out ... you had to turn your head sideays not to get your face ripped off from the axles

    N.... P....

    And I thought my childhood was dangerous...doing homemade pyro...

    Skinny Puppy, as it's best for the time.

  52. n.... ....

    "yesterday"

    brap on!

  53. s.... ....

    Arguably one of the best industrial songs ever made just because it's effectively epitome of everything the genre represents before and after in its rawest, purest form.

    s.... ....

    sorcerykid 💯 fucking percent dude. Thank you

    s.... ....

    Not so sure it is the best, although one of their coolest. Assimilate. Still my favorite of them.

    s.... ....

    @Jürgen Rösemeier-Buhmann Jah, Ministry, Front 242, NItzer Ebb they all were "instrumental" in the industrial legacy.

  54. s.... ....

    great song from lp one time one place
    joya joyita joyareli

  55. J.... J....

    I don't trust anybody who doesn't curse & who doesn't enjoy this type of music. Fucking period!

  59. G.... C....

    Reading most all of your comments makes me feel so happy. As I am approaching the age of 50 now which with many of us is hard to believe, I smile listening to this music. I love them to this day. And, it makes me smile even more when I share this music with others and they are silent. haha. This was my youth, and it brings me back to my youth every time I listen to them.

    G.... C....

    I haven't listened to this in at least twenty years, but it brings it all back.

  60. m.... ....

    This is one of the most perfect songs ever created. I have spent hours upon hours reflecting on my existence with this rolling in the background.

  70. L.... J....

    Complètement accro à cEvin Key.

  71. M.... B....

    I'm no end all source of knowledge for this band, but, to me, this looks like an exaggerated image of Hitler. Perhaps this song is in relation to the parasitic and hulking mass that feeds on and off of larger than life ideas like fascist regimes claim they represent? #cultofpersonality

  72. S.... G....

    walk or take a drive or bump it in you ipod one thousand take a walk. make sure its at night I perfer to listen to this goes well in darkness moon lit

  73. S.... G....

  79. M.... ....

    so great! has ever anyone sampled voices and noises in this perfection? not to believe how deep and sensual organized

  80. J.... M....

    Influenced the first NIN album.Pretty Hate Machine!!

    J.... M....

    @Mark Pippins finally someone said it

    J.... M....

    @Mark Pippins Wrong.

    J.... M....

    @Mark Pippins Umm, no! It's actually pretty good, Trent obviously had influences, but who the fuck didn't? NIN doesn't sound like SP, they're both just really solid industrial groups. Facts.

    J.... M....

    ​@BishopOfHexen192 - All these years later, it doesn't make so much difference, Trent's body of work is what it is. I don't like much of it, some is impressive, it's occasionally surprising.

    PHM, though? That was like Journey Finally Heard Ministry. True facts.

    J.... M....

    @Mark Pippins yeah I hear ya.. I just remember head like a hole and something I can never have being the best tracks. Background world is a solid track he put out a little while back, besides that his peak was The Fragile in my opinion.

  81. A.... ....

    Hello, i know ... this guy shows my husband.
    He was an atari programmer in 80s in germany and programmed sequencer
    for skinny puppy. Thank you for that artwork.
    I´m glad to see that.

    What does he show him?

    VarnaVix she's talking about me, I'll PM you what I showed her husband

    ALL drug's except weed were better in the 80's but that's not what made SP great. The drug's just made the experience better. sp's side project Pig face was also good for industrial music, It was made up of Ministry,NIN, SP and someone else that slips the mind at moment.

    K.... G....

    If you think drugs were better in an era before peer reviewed, deliver-to-your-door, verified strong (through testing kits) deep web drugs, you're an idiot.

    K.... G....

    @TruSkoolHooligan Way better than Pigface, for sure. See also The Tear Garden.

    K.... G....

    Talbot Eric Cyberaktif with Bill Leeb was a great record during the Wax Trax era.

    K.... G....

    Wax Trax Records. KMFDM. Revolting Cocks. Thrill Kill Kult. etc Metropolis Records. Cocksure. n of course... Metal Blade Records

    Or front242, or wasn't that industrial? Or was that called ebm?

  93. N.... D....

    the single guitar strum at the chorus beginning #hail

  94. S.... ....

    I think the first reaction I had to Skinny Puppy was the band's sound was like inspecting the underside of a dead animal...I don't mean that as a bad thing!

    S.... ....

    SweetSweetWaldo Orwell and SP... good combo

    S.... ....

    SO FUCKING TRUE

    S.... ....

    It took me a while to get into sp when I was 13 my friend was playing there albums over and over. I was more of a iron maiden black Sabbath slayer mudvayne etc. Fan I couldnt stand sp back then lol. Think when I turned 15 is when I really started liking them

    S.... ....

    If you're...
    inspecting the underside of dead animals, this is way beyond Skinny fucking Puppy.

    S.... ....

    My first thought was I'm home, now.

  95. C.... F....

    man this songs gives me goosebumps. hail SP!

    C.... F....

    +Chris Farley it should. it always does!

    C.... F....

    Sure your right... especially after a good fix

  96. M.... B....

    Prime Puppy.

    M.... B....

    +Michael Bath Agreed.

  97. G.... G....

    if uve been hooked....this is the best song ever
