Korn

Blind

Are you ready?

This place inside my mind, a place I like to hide
You don't know the chances, what if I should die?
A place inside my brain, another kind of pain
You don't know the chances, I'm so blind

Another place I find to escape the pain inside
You don't know the chances, what if I should die?
A place inside my brain, another kind of pain
You don't know the chances, I'm so blind

Deeper, deeper, deeper as I journey to
Live a life that seems to be
A lost reality that I can never find
No way to reach, my inner self-esteem is low
How deep can I go in the ground that I lay?
If I don't find a way to see through the gray that clouds my mind
This time I look to see what's between the lines

I can see, I can see, I'm going blind...
I'm blind

Ball Tongue

There you are alone
With no hope of ever having something to be proud of
Something earned without begging
Yes, I know you're a person a person close to me
Who do you think you are?
What more do you want from me?
Ball Tongue (You got the dykes off, I think they'll mind me)
Ball Tongue (The rag I'm on, we are justified)
Ball Tongue (Congrats you just fucked up my make-up and shit)
Ball Tongue (What have you done for me?)

Why are you at home buried in your own self-pity?
Why do you insist on living the life clean out of me?
Yes, I know you're the person, the person that took time with me
Does it give you the right to expect your life revolves around me?

Ball Tongue
You have come to take from your buddy
Ball Tongue

Ball Tongue

Ball Tongue

Ball Tongue

Ball Tongue
Can I die? Can I die?
Ball Tongue
And then, the man kept kickin me
Ball Tongue
He gets him on, they're cool
Ball Tongue
He wasn't dead, and then they knocked him on the head
Ball Tongue
No more, he's rid of you. You're a Dyke

Need To

I, I am confused, fighting myself
Wanting to give in, needing your help
Skin cold with fear, feel it when we touch
Outside I don't know you, but inside I'm fine

Can you see it in me?
Skin cold from touch
Each day confronted with what I have done
You pull me closer, I push you away
You tell me it's okay, I can't help but feel the pain

I hate you
Why are you taken?
I love you
I feel so helpless
Why is it you?
Ripping my insides each time I'm with you
Why do I cry?
Why do I really need to?
Why?
fuck you, bitch

Need to... fuck?

I hate you
Why are you taken?
I love you
I feel so helpless
Why is it you?
Ripping my insides each time I'm with you
Why do I try?
Why do I fuckin need to?

Anger inside builds within my body
Why you hit me?
What have I done?
You tried to hit me

Try and hit me again, if you like
Throw your hate at me with all your might
Hit me 'cause I'm strange, hit me
Tell me I'm a pussy and you're harder then me
What's with you boy? Think hard
A tattooed body to hide who you are
Scared to be honest, be yourself
A cowardly man

I don't run around
Trying to be what's not within me
Look into my eyes, I am free
You're just a wanna-be

Chorus

To come out
Hit me clown, because I'm not from your town, hit me clown X 4

Clown you ain't shit, turn around and get your face split

Divine

I hide only to defy you
Take away the only life inside you
I see your face through everyone
Inside I've just begun
You think I'm out to scare you
I'm only out to prepare you
For when you stop and turn around
Your body's going down

Chorus
You're gonna waste your time,
Your life will soon be mine,
You're definitely one of a kind
You're suffering 'cause of me, it's divine

Tell me why you never liked me
Tell me why it is you fight me
Pull down and wait for the perfect time to take what is rightfully mine
You think they're dumb to defy me
You said you don't want to fight me
You wait, you don't want anyone
Oh well...

Chorus

Well fuck you
I'm fed up with you
I'm not as good as you
fuck no, I'm better than you X 8

Chorus

Did you really think you'd beat me at my own game?
You try to see what you got
Me ripping at your brain

Faget

Him

Here I am different in this normal world
Why did you tease me? Made me feel absurd
Fucking stereotypes feeding their heads
I am ugly, please just go away

Chorus
Him
I can see inside you fine
This blessing in disguise
Him
Why do you treat me this way?
Made the hurt stay

I sound like I can never seem to escape
All the laughing, all the pain
If you were me, what would you do?
Nothing probably, you'd just throw me away

Chorus

Faget X 3

Here I am different in this normal world
Why did you tease me? Made me feel absurd
Fucking stereotypes feeding their heads
I am ugly, please just go away

Chorus

Faget ? pussy

I'm just a pretty boy, whatever you call it
You wouldn't know a real man if you saw it
It keeps going on day after day, son
You faget, get off we don't want none
I'm sick and tired of people treating me this way everyday
Who gives a fuck?
Right now I got something to say
To all the people that think I'm strange
That I should be out of here locked up in a cage
You don't know what the hell is up now anyway
You got this pretty-boy feeling like I'm enslaved
To a world that never appreciated shit
You can suck my dick and fucking like it

He had my gun but he had to find the money any say
He had my gun but he had to find the money anyway
He had my gun but he had to find the money don't wanna say
He had my gun but he had to find the money anyway
He had my gun but he had to find the money any say
He had my gun but he had to find the money going away
He had my gun but he had to find the money don't wanna say
He had my gun but he had to find the money don't anyway
I'm just a pretty boy, I'm not supposed to fuck a girl
I'm just a pretty boy, living in this fucked up world X 2

All my life, who am I? X 12

I'm just a faget X 3
Faget
I'm a faget
Faget

Shoots and Ladders

Ring around a roses
Pocket full of posies
Ashes, ashes, we all fall down X 2

Chorus
Nursery rhymes are said, verses in my head
Into my childhood they're spoon-fed
Hidden violence revealed, darkness that seems real
Look at the pages that cause all this evil

One, two, buckle my shoe
Three, four, shut the door
Five, six, pick up sticks
Seven, eight, lay them straight

London bridge is falling down, falling down, falling down
London bridge is falling down, my fair lady

Predicable

I can, in every way
Mistake the pain I feel inside
It comes to me
Evil thoughts is creeping through my mind
Who are you to say?
That I can't speak what's on my mind?
It runs away
It's so predictable

I can, in every way,
Feel the stress that tangles up inside
Too blind to see,
Emptiness and sorrow of their lives
You run away
To the cover of their pointless ties
You ask me
It's so predictable

I'm gonna try
I'm gonna die
I'm gonna try

Another day
Silence overwhelms my mind
Who is to say?
If I have the time, oh why
Should I pray?
For all the hate to go away
Another day
I can never break free
You wait for me
I call out to you
Another day
I'll live forever

Should I?

I'm gonna try
I'm gonna die
I'm gonna try

fuck
I'm gonna try, Should I?
I'm gonna die, Should I? (fuck)
I'm gonna try, Should I?
I'm gonna try, Should I? (fuck)

I'm gonna try

Fake

I can't stand the sight of you
I can't stand what you put me through
Your life's a lie that you hide
Is it that terrible being you inside?
I can't stand, oh the thought of you
I can't stand all the things you do
What do you try to justify?
You were just too scared to be you inside

Let it all go X 4
Look at you, all I see, is a man too afraid to really be X 2

I can't stand what you put me through
I can't stand even the thought of you
Your secret lies that you hide
Is it that terrible being you inside?

Let it all go X 4

Look at you, all I see, is a man too afraid to really be X 4

You try so hard to be wanted
False emotions tells you fronted
I think being a person relies on one thing,
Be yourself, let you come through

You're too afraid to really be (Be yourself, let you come through)
Someone who isn't false, who doesn't care to be (Be yourself, let you come through) X 2

Fake X 4

Fake, you'll regret it, you'll regret it X 8

Let it all go X 4

Lies

I would like to search inside
For all of the things that you will hide
What's the problem?
Can't you seem to?
Search through these problems that haunt and taunt you
I smile, while you're afraid
You run, while you're so in pain

Do you ever see outside your fears?
Thinking about your life
Thinking about your inner fears
Do you ever see out from inside your fears?
Thinking about your life
Thinking about your inner fears

I would like to search inside
For all of the things that you will hide
What's the problem?
Can't you seem to open your body and let me touch you?

Do you ever see outside your fears?
Thinking about your life
Thinking about your inner fears
Do you ever see out from inside your fears?
Thinking about your life
Thinking about your inner fears

I want you to see the life you have disguised
The world of things that hurt you
Kept all these useless lies
I want you to fear, fill you on up inside
Once I took you in, I'll throw you out next time
I tried, you win
My life is ripping your heart out and destroying my pain
Go

Do you ever see outside your fears?
Thinking about your life
Thinking about your inner fears
Do you ever see out from inside your fears?
Thinking about your life
Thinking about your inner fears X 2

Daddy

Mother please forgive me
I just had to get out all my pain and suffering
Now that I am done, remember I will always love you
I'm your son

Little child, looking so pretty
Come out and play, I'll be your daddy
Innocent child, looking so sweet
A rape in mind and on your flesh I'll eat

You've raped
I feel dirty
It hurt
As a child
Tied down
That's a good boy
And fuck
Your own child
I scream
No one hears me
It hurt
I'm not a liar
My God
Saw you watching
Mummy why?
Your own child

Little child, looking so pretty
Come out and play, I'll be your daddy

You've raped

Mummy why?
Your own child

I didn't touch you there
Mama said she didn't care
I didn't touch you there
That's why mama stopped and stared

Why'd you fuckin do it to me?
I Hate You

Piece of shit

Song Meanings

Blind

It's about my drug use during the early years. "Another place I find to escape the pain inside" The drugs controlled my life. They provided an escape from the pain I endured as a young adult, and I couldn't see any future direction for myself. "see through the grey that clouds my mind" I wanted to escape the confusion in my mind but my self esteem was so low that I wasn't confident enough to make the change for myself. I wanted to leave the world and start again but I didn't know how, so I used drugs to distort reality.

Ball Tongue

The meaning of ball tongue is simple. Some thought it had to do with oral sex, but in fact its about a guy we had to work with on a t-shirt (Jeff Creath). He either had a pierced tongue or a wart or something on his tongue and he was a dick to us.
Different live: Jonathan goes into a Rap (by Coolio) Called "Loddi Doddi" in the middle of the song.

Need To

Need To is about being in a relationship with someone you love so much but you are too scared to get close to them because you're paranoid that they may stop loving you. "You pull me closer, I push you away, You tell me it's okay, I can't help but feel the pain" I was used to being fucked over by people I loved and any future relationship was going to feel the same. Every time I thought I was getting too close, I would push her away. "I hate you .... Fuck you, bitch" Jonathan already resents the girl because he's so confident that she will end up breaking his heart. He hates her before she has even done anything.

Clown

Korn was playing a show in San Diego for a clothing card. This skinhead guy came up and started flippin' me off. When we started, I bent down and the guy took a swing at me. Our tour manager, Jeff, got into it and knocked the guy out. I wrote this song about him: 'Scared to be honest with yourself/you're a cowardly man.

Divine

Divine is about the sting of revenge. I wanted someone who didn't want me. Then the tables turned and I found that this person wanted me now. "You're suffering 'cause of me, it's divine" "Did you really think you'd beat me at my own game" I wanted to show her how it felt to want someone you can't have, and I know now that since I lost interest in her she realizes what she's given up. Now it's my turn to have some fun, and I was enjoying it. "You know what, Fuck you, I'm fed up with you, I'm not as good as you, Fuck no, I'm better than you" I knew I was a better person than her by showing that I'm not a doll that can be picked up and put down at will.

Faget

Everyone thinks I'm bashing gay people in this song, and I'm not. It's really about me going through high school being called 'pussy,' 'queer' and all that stuff, about getting picked on by all these jocks.

Shoots and Laddars

It was written because all these little kids sing these nursery rhymes and they don't know what they originally meant. Everyone is so happy when singing but 'London Bridge' is about the Black Plague. All of them have these evil stories behind them." "The lyrics are all from nursery rhymes, and a lot of nursery rhymes go back to the Middle Ages. They're actually pretty twisted if you know the stories behind them, like about Black Death and stuff.

Predicable

Another relationship cliche that I found so predictable. Every relationship I go into I'm going to find myself hurt at the end. I wondered why there is any point in it at all because I'd rather die than feel the pain. "I can in every way, mistake the pain I feel inside. It comes to me, evil thoughts is creeping through my mind" How can he deal with the situations of a failed relationship but to remove himself from the world, or remove the other person. If he can't have them, no one can.

Fake

Lies

Lies picks on those who are too afraid to be themselves. People who hide behind a conformed society "I want you to see the life you have disguised" "Do you ever see from outside your fears" I am pointing out those who fear they too will be laughed at if they step outside the line of individuality.

Helmet In the Bush

It's about a speed problem that I had. You know, you do a lot of speed and -- if you're a male -- your penis retracts severly. The guy heard at the beginning of the song is La Caco, a friend of the band. His real name is Michael and likes taco bell. He's a really Nice Guy and he has been friends with the band for years.

Daddy

People think daddy' was writen because my dad fucked me up the ass,thats not what the song's about. It wasn't about my dad or my mum. When I was a kid I was being abused by someone else and I went to my parents and told them about it. and they thought I was lying and joking around, they never did shit about it. They didn't belive it was happening to their son. I don't like to talk about that song, this is the most I've ever talked about it...
