Lindemann Yukon lyrics

Your soul is black
Your blood is cold
Your skin is rough
You have a heart of gold

Your face so dark
Feel clammy hair
Upon your flesh
Wet creatures everywhere
Gives me a shiver

Wild river
You stole my eyes
Never gave them back
You tried to kiss me
Set a shiver on my neck
Wild river
Wet golden shrine
You stole my mind
And tried to kill me
Sent a shiver down my spine

You hate the sun
But rain is nice
You love the snow
But you are afraid of ice

You’re dressed in mud
Unsafe to dive
I want your gold
But you, you want my life
You want my life

Wild river
You stole my eyes
Never gave them back
You tried to kiss me
Set a shiver on my neck
Wild river
Wet golden shrine
You stole my mind
And tried to kill me
Sent a shiver down my spine

You tried to drown me
Never mind to swim
And tried to eat me
Put a shiver on my skin
You tried to hold me
With million fins
And tried to heal me
Wash off my sins

Your kingdom come
We’re kneeling on the planks
All the trees bend over
On the banks gives me a shiver

Wild river
You stole my eyes
Never gave them back
You tried to kiss me
Set a shiver on my neck
Wild river
Wet golden shrine
You stole my mind
And tried to kill me
Sent a shiver down my spine

You tried to hold me
With million fins
And tried to eat me
Bite off my sins
You tried to drown me
Never mind to swim
And tried to kill me
Set a shiver on my skin

Till Lindemann about the song meaning:

Till: I was with a close friend, I was on a canoeing trip in southern Canada and we passing the border to Alaska and we canoeing down the Uconn last summer, it was an amazing experience. In the middle of nowhere, if something was happen there is no help their passing you, you’re going to die in seconds, it was kind of dangerous but kind of really, really exciting for me so I had to write about it. It was neat.

Q: That’s awesome do you do much canoeing or outdoor activities frequently?

Till: Once in a while, we have a lot of, where I grew up we have a lot of lakes and rivers and stuff so of course I go canoeing in the summer time but I’m not a frequent canoe guy, not at all.

  1. This album is brilliant. It ranges from ridiculous (Golden showers) to sublime (Yukon). How one’s head can contain such diametrically opposed concepts is anyone’s guess. Thank you guys for being funny and philosophical at the same time and thanks for not taking yourselves too seriously.

  2. I could’ve sworn that it was “White river” instead of “Wild river…” oh well. Either way, this is one of the best songs on the album!

  3. This is only the first two verses. Where’s the rest of it? Here:

    You hate the sun,

    but rain is nice

    You love the snow

    but you are afraid of ice.

    You’re dressed in mud

    unsafe to dive

    I want your gold

    but you want my life

    Wild river

    you stole my eyes

    never gave them back

    you tried to kiss me

    set a shiver on my neck

    wild river

    wet golden shrine

    you stole my mind

    and tried to kill me

    Send a shiver down my spine

    you tried to drown me

    never mind to swim

    and tried to eat me

    put a shiver on my skin

    you tried to hold me

    with million fins

    and tried to heal me

    wash off my sins

    your kingdom come

    we’re kneeling on the planks

    all the trees bend over

    on the banks gives me a shiver

    Wild river

    you stole my eyes

    never gave them back

    you tried to kiss me

    set a shiver on my neck

    wild river

    wet golden shrine

    you stole my mind

    and tried to kill me

    Send a shiver down my spine

    You tried to hold me

    with million fins

    You tried to eat me

    bite off my my sins

    You tried to drown me

    Never mind to swim

    you tried to kill me

    Set a shiver on my skin
