"De Sade" is the eleventh track on The End, So Far.
Background[]
In June 2021, the Diluted Maggot Tumblr page reposted eight pictures of Slipknot in the studio recording the album, originally for OT9 Members. One of these photos included an abbreviation for "De Sade".[1][2]
On July 19th, the album's full tracklist was leaked on Twitter.[3] And later in the day the band officially announced the album, The End, So Far, along with the music video for the second single; "The Dying Song (Time to Sing)".[4]
The title is most likely a reference to the French nobleman Marquis de Sade.
- "That's another song about giving in to the darker sensations that we're all born with, and reveling in them. It's a beautiful melody line, and it fits really well. It's just a great, dark love song that I think people will really dig, and it's got great guitar work by both Mick and Jim."
- —Corey Taylor[5]
Lyrics[]
[Verse 1]
I feel it now, a new restraint
The fool is only he who fools again, again, again, again
I needed all the pain you saved
To wash across my face like time began, began, began, began
[Pre-Chorus]
Everybody lies when they say "forever"
No one else will understand
Pull the stiches tight until we sever
Break me in your open hands
[Chorus]
Please, forget me not
I need your simple pleasures to be god
And please, my sweet De Sade
Just eat my heart and twist me into knots
[Verse 2]
I know I never had a chance, chance
I know I'm wretched and I stand, stand
Seeking all the things you have
If I die with you, it's worth the life, life, life, life
[Pre-Chorus]
I was just a nothing wanting something
Only you will only do
Everything and more it comes to nothing
If it doesn't come with you
[Chorus]
Please, forget me not
I need your simple pleasures to be god
And please, my sweet De Sade
Just eat my heart and twist me into knots
[Bridge]
Something dominating nothing
Nothing animate is something used
Fill me, wait a minute, kill me
Feel me, I am the mood abuse
Carve, carve, carve
I am starved, starved, starved
For the warmth of your will
And the edge of your purest thrill
[Outro]
De Sade, De Sade, De Sade, De Sade
De Sade, De Sade, De Sade, De Sade
