About This Track

'Addict' by Slayer is a 2001 track from the album 'Soundtrack to the Apocalypse'. The lyrics stage a predatory, coercive address, insisting on taking away someone’s innocence while craving takes on the character of something relentless. The singer imagines seeing deception exposed and watching people collapse, with the language of craving and compulsion running through the verse and pre-chorus. One moment frames desire as “a primitive craving”, then keeps it grinding forward, as if satisfaction is never the end point.

"Addict" is a track by Slayer, from the album Soundtrack to the Apocalypse, released 11th September 2001. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 1 article about Slayer.

Lyrics

Addict

[Verse 1]

I won't cover your eyes

I want your innocence

Glisten before me in a cold sweat

I want you to see your lie spill on me

Spill on me

[Pre-Chorus 1]

Manifested as a primitive craving

The craving never seems to go away

I want to see the face of everyone fall

Fall into the cold embrace of death

[Chorus 1]

You're in my nightmare

I decide when it stops

It's my fucking drug

Makes my rush intensify

Hardcore, the overdose

Your fear gets me high

[Verse 2]

Unbound, I'm the weapon made to sterilize

Sterilize all the idiot victims

Anytime, anywhere, anyone I want

Everyone's addicted to this torture

[Pre-Chorus 2]

I'm the agony in every breath

Every breath brings you closer to me

You'll do anything, anything

You'll do anything to make it stop

[Chorus 2]

You're in my nightmare

I decide when it stops

It's my fucking drug

Makes my rush intensify

Chaos deep inside, it makes me

[Bridge]

It makes me feel surreal

It makes me need to kill

It makes me feel surreal

It makes me need to kill

[Verse 3]

Do you want to feel eternity?

Your eternity lies within me

I am the terror of your final breath

Your final breath brings light to my darkness

[Pre-Chorus 3]

Like an act of fucking God unleashed

On the innocence, innocence of mankind

You'll do anything, anything

You'll do anything to make it stop

[Chorus 3]

It's my fucking drug

Makes my rush intensify

Hardcore fucking overdose

Your fear gets me off like fuck

[Outro]

It makes me feel surreal

It makes me need to kill

It makes me feel surreal

It makes me need to kill

It makes me feel surreal

It makes me need to kill

It makes me feel surreal

It makes me need to kill

It makes me feel surreal

It makes me need to kill

It makes me feel surreal

It makes me need to kill
