Therapist Reacts to Yen by Slipknot
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 тра 2024
- Therapist analyzes the lyrics of Yen by Slipknot to discuss the ways in which people often use victimhood to gain power in relationships. If a person is a victim in a relationship they use their pain as currency. The song is a call to instead use pain as currency for personal growth.

Your reactions/analysis is the best thing I've discovered on UA-cam in a long time
Yen also means a strong desire, propensity, urge and/or craving
Yen is Japanese currency, Yuan is Chinese currency.
For the purposes of this song Yen is an archaic term for an obsessive need, particularly used for opium addiction
@mediumvillain I was correcting the therapist, who said yen was chinese currency, not giving the meaning behind the song.
@@YTsupportsZionaziGenocide....its "yuan"
Yaun is when you're sleepy and your body without reason makes you open your mother really wide open. Yuan is the chinese currency.
@@joaoaugustolandim technically that would be yawn...
but yeah i had the vowel backwords. apparently "yaun" means "sexual"... good to know....lol
Yes, he did switch up the lyrics at the end to "I know that I had died for you - I'll die for you" which sounds to me like although they recognize what they were doing to the relationship, they still reverted to their old victim mentality in the end because now they feel attacked.
"HI REN" will be different than anything you have done, super powerful message for therapist.
@HeartSupport Thank you! I requested this yesterday, and have been trying to figure it out. I’ve had an internal struggle with personal growth and I relate to most Slipknot songs. Unsainted was a big one, and your breakdown made a lot of sense to me. This is one of my favorite songs, A Liars Funeral and Vermillion are up there as well.
Therapist, you're awesome! You love analyzing their songs.
I like your dance moves too.
React to “Disasterpieces” off of their Iowa album. In your first Slipknot reaction video you said you were expecting a certain sound from them. That song will give you Slipknot at their most brutal and aggressive. It’s definitely their best album. 🤘🏼
Disasterpiece helped save my life
Would love to hear your take on Disaterpiece @HeartSupport
YEEESSSSS WE ABSOLUTELY NEED THIS 🤘🤘🤘
These are the best Slipknot reactions I've watched yet. I wish I would have discovered this channel sooner.
Damn I love your reaction and what you said about the feelings and what we can see and cannot see ! This channel is so pure and interesting. The approach is genius to desiccate the lyrics with a therapist point of view, its explain so much!!
You seem so passionate when you speak, we can listen to you for hours, it's always pertinent, truthful and interesting
Thank you for your work 🙌🏻
You’re the best! Keep killin it! 🤘🏼
I love this song. Never had any idea what it might even be about. Nice perspective on it!
Thank you so much for this dissection of the song. This was my theme song for the first three months of 2023. I was fired from my job, my girlfriend dumped me, and then my grandmother died from cancer. The pain I experienced through those events led me to growth and being a stronger person.
Side note: The toy piano segment is not on the studio track and was recorded just for the music video.
So glad I found your channel.
Love this song so much
Wowww spot on. Your reacrtion videos are awesome as is, but this one hits different.
Great breakdown of the song!
First off, I love your interpretation of the song! I can most certainly relate in that sense!
On the other hand, though Corey actually said in an interview with Metal Hammer that this was a love song for his wife and that the term “Yen” is derivative of the slang, which means yearning! 🖤
I was about to say that ! Corey literally stated that it is a dark weird love song. To each his own interpretation but personally I think this song is truly about the desire you can develop for the person you love, almost like from a masochist POV wich makes it so mesmerizing
Alice in chains - down in a hole please!!!!! I just subbed i love ur analysis on these lyrics ive been listening to for years!
It’s Corey’s relationship with music as a whole it’s like a part 2 of kill pop
Everything ends by slipknot I think you'll like it
Listen to the end of the song again, and just know the pain that comes through as a small child curled up in a ball just listening to something that soothed them!! At one point in time! Music is a blessing! All there is too it! My son to be fiance and I share a song with each other everyday! Doesn't matter about genre, and until 2 months ago, when I started showing her reaction videos, even the ones where they do t like the song at all, she's starting to understand why I like them!! Watch some shit with some other people, and can't really argue with them, just a long for the same ride!!❤😂😢
Slipknot and it's lyrics are a very human experience. I'm so happy she got it in the end. pointing the finger after the fact is very much Slipknot.
I always loved the detail of unmasked Corey in the video. idk, it’s a cool concept.
Yeah, and it’s not just the name of money and currency. It also means it’s a yearning for some one or something and I’ll guarantee you he knows that other definition because the man is a freaking genius.
Yen is by far my favourite on the album 🙏
"because If I am the victim then it is not my responsibility to change. It is your responsibility". She never said it in so many words but holy shit did she ever convey the message constantly in our relationship. Sadly, we both used pain as currency over each other. The difference now is that she still thinks she is the victim, that she is always the victim and I refuse to let myself be victimized any longer. Twenty-three years was long enough. ❤🩹
Not sure if you take suggestions from comments or not, but a song that rarely gets discussed in regards to mental health is Plastic Man from Seether. The song's written about the brother of the guitarist/lead singer who was struggling with depression at the time and sadly took his own life a couple years after the album the song was on released.
I always heard this song as a positive song. Like he'd finally found someone worth giving his life to. Worth dying for. He wants to feel like in his dying breath he gave her everything he had. He died fighting for her until the last breath.
You should react to Left Behind and Til we Die! 🤟
keep up the amazing work i love how into the music you get. more songs by slipknot would be sic, surfacing, spit it out, people = shit, the heretic anthem, aov, killpop, nero forte. should also checkout stuff from the singer corey taylor's other band stone sour as well as his solo stuff more singing less screaming and growls.
from stone sour: bother, through glass, 30/30-150, made of scars, digital (did you tell), say you'll haunt me, gone sovereign/absolute zero, tired, do me a favor, song #3, fabuless.
from solo stuff: black eyes blue, cmft must be stopped, from can to cant
Hi, love your vids! Could you react to Slipknot Vermilion or Vermilion pt2? Those are really same song but different vibes and styles. The song is about distance in society. The song is based on the caracter who imagined her perfect soulmate which doesnt exist. The song video showing her soulmate reflecting his self through her. The butterfly meaning is the symbol of immortality of his imaginery soulmate in his mind which he will never find
I actually have this song on repeat like half the time because I have a tendency to end up in abusive relationships so instead of being in relationships, I find controlled pain through BDSM because you're right it gets to a point where we need the pain. And I do this until the need for it is gone. I grew up in trauma and have my bs in psych and I still have tons of work to do on myself. Look up maclaren hall lawsuit in la. That is only one example. But for me the well dressed people in suites not wearing mask are the dominant people and everyone wearing mask are the submissive in the slaves because we were beneath the dominance and our identities their identity they want us to have that’s what I get from that video and believe it or not it doing that helps me find myself forth after I leave an abusive relationship or get it to be around my family too muchI don’t understand how that works
Would love to see a breakdown/reaction of Skeptic.
Me gustas y me gusta tu amor por Slipknot ❤
This is maybe not metal in essence but I think you will *LOVE* this one as therapist 🤩
Can you do any falling in reverser, breaking Benjamin or five finger death punch plz. Love this series keep it up!!
Please react to Likin Park Giving Up, love the reactions btw 😊
Corey said that Yen is an old form of Yearning and it was about his wife and how she bought out things in him he didn’t think he was capable of
Hi ! Could you listen to Sean by Trophy Eyes ? It's the most devastating song about suicide I've ever heard and I'd love to see you react to it.
Please react to "Falling away from me" of Korn, that theme talks about mental issues. thx
Please do motionless in white Burned at both ends 2❤
Please, please do KillPop!!! One of my favorites!
would be awesome to see you react to some Radiohead
Check out remembering never - Allison’s song
If you haven’t reacted to Daddy by Korn. I would really like to hear your analysis of that song.
I think yen is sort of the spiritual successor to an early song called "prosthetics." A great song I think you should rect to next.
You should react to orphan or spiders by slipknot
Definitely orphan. Maybe even red flag?
I relate to this a lot I feel like if things are going too well then something's not right that there has to be some kind of turmoil in order for things to feel comfortable because throughout my entire childhood I was surrounded by physical abuse drugs and alcohol
From ThriceTheThird: @nickroschnow2802 Well I hope things are going well for you now! Even if there is that uncertainty of whether or not it is okay for things to be going well. Thank you for sharing how you relate with us. I hope you are having a wonderful day today!
From taylor: @nickroschnow2802 Hey friend,
Thanks for reaching out here. It's so common for people who grow up with turmoil to feel a little bit discombobulated when things are going well. It feels like you're waiting for the other shoe to drop, because that's all you ever knew when you were growing up. Things being bad became familiar. So although you didn't WANT those bad things to happen, it was what you were used to, so you became comfortable in the discomfort. And now when things are good it feels hard to trust that they would stay good, because they never have in the past.
Recognizing this about yourself is a HUGE step toward healing. Awareness is the first step toward change. I'm so sorry that you were surrounded by abuse and addiction as you were growing up, that's not fair, and it's not the environment any child deserves. I'm so proud of you for being able to recognize the ways that growing up in that environment impacts the way you experience the present. It's really hard to come to this realization, and to have this awareness gives you more currency to use toward your healing.
Sending love
From Micro: @nickroschnow2802 Thank you so much for sharing this here, friend. Somehow, this is particularly relatable to me, and it's always comforting to know that someone out there gets it - even if I wish you didn't experience any aversity as you grew up.
Somehow, there's this feeling of finding comfort in chaos, right? It's as if chaos and turmoil were your default state, and anything that transforms it feels odd, uncertain, like an unknown territory for your mind. Which makes sense when you think about it: as a child, you've learned to be familiar in a chaotic/adverse environment. It has built standards that you've learned to accept in order to survive. As an adult though, you have the possibility to be in different environment and experience different ways to be. It challenges what you've already known and have learned to be familiar with. It makes sense that, even now it's difficult to take objectively good or healthy things/events/people as being suspicious and to be questioned. Too good to be real. But you are aware of this process, of this dichotomy within, of how the "good" seems labeled as "bad", and the "bad" as good. If anything it makes completely sense to experience this contradiction given the environment you've known as a child.
The very fact that you are aware of this pattern at play is huge, and such a great sign of your own growth and resilience. X years ago you may have not been aware of this way to view things, at least maybe not with such an acute and detailed understanding. What was learned can be unlearned, and thankfully you haveand will keep having the possibility to reinvent yourself, away from the abuse you've known and suffered. I believe in you wholeheartedly, and I belive in your ability to learn to welcome good things in your life and embrace them without feeling too guilty, too weary of it either. You got this, friend. :heart:
Get the point guys. She is hitting the Point.
"the taste is red and rust" is such an interesting way to describe blood
Yen can also mean longing. "As my death begins, i want to know that i would die for you"
Meaning he wants a partner he would be willing to die for..... there are always many ways to look at the meaning of songs
you should check out 'Coming Down' by FFDP (I know therapists always say you don't have to say 'TW' but I'm putting one anyway) and 'Inside The Fire' by Disturbed (another TW) and 'Make It Stop' by Rise Against all talk about suicide
Please react to Enterprise Earth-Teeth and Blood. Please please. I need to know more about this song it emotes so much
Can you reacto "Left behind" from slipknot?
You should react to -the virus of life by slipknot.
you should react to snuff if you didnt, it is one of their softer songs and yet is the hardest of Slipknot entire carreer at thr same time due to the lyrics, corey also said this song reminds him a lot of Paul Gray because he was the one who saw a huge potential on that song
Please react to Given up, lost or crawling by Linkin Park. All super deep songs.
👍🏼
React to asking Alexandria.❤
Yen is the Japanese currency, but great video it helps.
You should dive into somgs that domt have videos to they have a lot more to give
Like to see reaction to Kim Dracula
Solway firth pls
You need to watch From can to can't by Corey Taylor you will enjoy it I promise you please 🙏🏻 ❤️
Yen = Yearning
This channel needs more Mudvayne
Please please please do disasterpiece live 2002 or people = sh*t live 2002 or even heretic anthem again live 2002 lol
My personal opinion is that he is not using the term “yen” to mean currency. It’s to mean a yearning, desire or urge for something or someone.
I'm pretty sure you did not see this part coming 6:26
Listen to shade astray by invent animate
Disasterpiece from Slipknot will take you on a heck of a ride. Would be worth a gander at some point.
The dying song is the second part to this song do that one next
Last Caress - Misfits
Pls react to "do nothing/bichslap"
@heartsupport This is probably a super corny interpretation but I always thought of this song like a conversation between me and my eating disorder that I personify as a coping mechanism (and literally romanticize as in pretending he's my gay lover LMAO) EDdy as I call him is the sin I've been waiting the hands around my neck I want to give him all of my joy and pleasures and I'm willing to die for him because I feel like I need and deserve and even crave the pain and suffering and I need to sacrifice enough to be worthy in his eyes even though I know it will never be enough and the only way I can be worthy is if I choose to value my worth because EDdy doesn't even exist LMAO but I've been living in this maladaptive Daydream for the last 20 years so it's hard to walk away
From tromboness: @raymondmurdock8603 Thanks for sharing your experience with us! And your interpretation is not corny; it is very relatable.
Dealing with ED is not an easy task, especially for as long as you have. There can be conflicted feelings about it too. You know it's not a healthy practice, but you crave what it gives you.
I commend you in recognizing that you don't need to feel worthy from EDdy. You are worthy to live a healthy life because you exist.
Hold Fast.
From Micro: @raymondmurdock8603 This is definitely a strong interpretation, and I'm personally so thankful you chose to share it. Just because it makes a LOT of sense, and even though it may feel like something you are struggling with on your own, the way you describe this can be very relatable to other people who have been through something similar. Having struggled with eating disorders for roughly 15 years now, I defiintely resonate with what you say. Even though I have not personified my ED, I've heard other people who did. Somehow, it's a powerful way to separate thestruggle from *you* as a unique individual. It highlights the subtle difference for example between saying "I am depressed", and "I struggle with depression". The struggle happens to be a part of your life, of your journey, of your thoughts... but it does not define *you* as a person, and even less your worth.
To me ED always felt like something I had to live with too. It's not me, but it's also such a significant part of me at the same time. I can't escape it, yet I can "dialogue" with it. I know it by heart yet I keep falling into its hands over and over. It's so hard when there is this double dialogue in you, these two voices battling almost all the time. One that knows rationally that you have worth even if you may not feel like it... and one that is this call to darkness, to diving deep into your struggles and surrendering to self-destruction. It's hard as the second one always feels so right and powerful *at the moment*. But it's always a response in the moment, a repeated cycle that doesn't bring your perspectives for the future. It feels as if it leaves you stuck living the same day on repeat.
EDdy is not your enemy as it is a part of you that, somehow, is trying to tell you something about what your heart needs the most. But the language he speaks and the messages he give you are not the right ones. He's displaying *hurt* and wounds that needto be cared for, but he identified ways to respond to this pain that are not serving you - on the contrary. It's the paradox of having such an "ally" in our life. It soothes, gives illusion of control, make us feel like darkness and pain are *safe* while good things are not. But as you said so well, what he needs and feeds from will never be enough. He is stuck in the same patterns and serves only one purpose. You, on your side, are *so much more* than he is. To me personally, trying to see and hear what was behind my ED, depression and PTSD is what helped me the most. I stopped seeing them as allies or enemies, but as *voices* that were expressing a pain that needed to be said. My role was then to re-learn how to respond to it appropriately, how to re-parent myself, how to meet them with *kindness*, how to meet my own heart with gentleness. It's a tough journey when we've been so used to see our worth in the act of destroying our selves. But oh man, it's one journey that is so worth walking on. Even if it feels like a rollercoaster, even if it feels uncomfortable, even if it doesn't feel *right* sometimes... any step taken towards helping/supporting/encouraging yourself to be safe and to not need EDdy anymore, is worth it. He exists because he has a job, but that role may be clearly outdated now, and you are allowed to walk towards freeing yourself from him, while recognizing while he had to exist.
I believe in you.:heart:
React to Tool - Vicarious. There is more in this world than Slipknot you know 😁
Kill You by Korn.
Please react to Golden Buzzer: Putri Ariani receives the GOLDEN BUZZER from Simon Cowell | Auditions | AGT 2023
ua-cam.com/video/Wyb0ExKOE4w/v-deo.htmlsi=d_xbtrgut-CEkXfN
React to something super intense like SPITE caved in
The victim mentality gives someone power because they no longer have to have any accountability for themselves and their own actions. If you don't always make yourself the victim you're more likely to look inward and fix your own shortcomings and behaviors first.
Those lyrics are totally borderline.
You should try Mudvayne's Discography
enough slipknot for now, how about some Suicidal Tendencies - Institutionalized :D
Mmm
Not about a relationship for me
Mm. This is a suey side note.
look for happiness is overrated by letdown
Got to do so far away from Avenged Sevenfold.
In case you didn’t know, all slipknot videos are directed and created by the clown. :)
Your interpretation is correct from a face value perspective. 90% (if not more) of slipknot’s music is allegorical. This song in particular is referring to the music industry and despite how toxic it is they can’t stay away even though it’s done nothing but cause them pain and suffering.
