About This Track

'Knuckles' by The Snuts is a 2022 indie rock track from 'Burn The Empire'. The lyrics look back at a long separation and the rough, bruising effort of getting back to a desired closeness, with the narrator questioning whether something higher was watching, before landing on a direct, confrontational energy. A single moment crystallises the attitude, with the line “Fuck, yeah” cutting through the doubt. By the end, the song shifts into a show-me stance, as if the argument has to be settled through grit rather than comfort.

"Knuckles" is a single by The Snuts, from the album Burn The Empire, released 29th September 2022. The track is 2:40 long. It's filed under Indie Rock. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 16 articles about The Snuts.

Lyrics

Knuckles

It's been a long time
Since you been all mine
And you are babe
It's been a long road
Since you found God
Was He up there?
Was He? (Fuck, yeah)

Took you a minute
You've been punching the light
It's been a hard day's nights

It's kind of like
When you fight your way out
Show me your knuckles, baby

I kind of like
When you fight your way out
Show me your knuckles, baby
I kind of like
When you fight your way out
Show me your knuckles, baby

It's like the sun was fear
And the moon was God
Tell me something I don't know
Put 'em up, let's go

Took you a minute
You've been punching the light
It's been a hard day's nights

I kind of like
When you fight your way out
Show me your knuckles, baby
I kind of like
When you fight your way out
Show me your knuckles, baby
(Oh yeah)

Took you a minute
You've been punching the light
It's been a hard days nights

It's kind of like
When you fight your way out
Show me your knuckles, baby
Show me your knuckles, baby

Show me your knuckles, baby

Show me your knuckles, baby

It's kinda like
When you fight your way out
Show me your knuckles, baby

I kinda like
When you fight your way out
Show me your knuckles, baby

I kinda like
When you fight your way out
Show me your knuckles, baby (oh, yeah)

Took you a minute
You've been punching the light
It's been a hard days nights

It's kind of like
When you fight your way out
Show me your knuckles, baby
Show me your knuckles, baby
