LIFE
IS PEACHY SONG MEANING
Twist
A
lot of heavy guitars, bass, drums and skat.
As
with Ball Tongue and numerous other songs Jonathan has said
there are no lyrics. Regardless of this it is hard to deny
that words cannot be heard which make sense.
Chi
"Chi
is about a lot of alcohol and drug abuse. People turn to that
when they have problems so that they won't have to feel their
pain." - Jonathan Davis
The
song was named after Chi Cheng from the Deftones. "We named
it after him because he used to call it reggae, and he loves
reggae music." - Jonathan.
Lost
"It's
the sterotypical thing about your best friend meeting a chick,
and then you're nothing." - Jonathan Davis
Swallow
"That's
about being paranoid. Drug-induced paranoia." - Jonathan Davis
Porno
Creep
The
only instrumental Korn song with a few spoken words. It seems
that Porno Creep represents one or all of the band members,
or even someone else. Notice how the self titled and Follow
the Leader CD covers both feature pornography magazine covers.
Good
God
"It's
about a guy I knew in school who I thought was my friend,
but who fucked me. He came into my life with nothing, hung
out at my house, lived off me, and made me do shit I didn't
really wanna do. I was into new romantic music and he was
a mod, and he'd tell me if I didn't dress like a mod he wouldn't
be my friend anymore. Whenever I had plans to go on a date
with a chick he'd sabotage it, because he didn't have a date
or nothing. He was a gutless fucking nothing. I haven't talked
to him for years." - Jonathan Davis
Mr
Rogers
"Back
in the day when I was a speed freak, um... even further back
when I was a little kid watchin' Mr. Rogers, that shit was
scary. He was a freaky old man... Land of Makebelieve and
Mr. FuckinMcFeely and shit... made me sick. So back when I
was doing speed, like for 5 or 6 days I'd be trippin out and
my brain would start to get freaky and get schizophrenic and
stuff, and I'd tape it and watch it everyday over and over...
I don't know, I was sick in the head. As a kid he told me
to be polite and all it did was get me picked on. I fucking
hate that man. Thanks for making me polite and trusting everyone,
and easy to take advantage of. So I spent 3 months on that
one song, just tweakin' on it, and it was totally just my
Mr. Rogers obsession, about how evil I thought he was. Pretty
much drug induced." - Jonathan Davis
K@#O%!
"People
think it's sexist but it isn't. It's more subconcious bitching
at all the women who've been with me in my life. It's not
about women in general, just those women who hurt me. Initially,
we wrote it to send to American radio for a joke, because
they always chop up all the other songs. So we were going
to send a 'real' single seven days later." - Jonathan Davis
No
Place to Hide
No
Place to Hide appears to have various themes. One could be
that while Jonathan exposes his painful past to the world
he has no secrets left, and no comfort zones. He feels raped
because Korn is becoming the next big thing and the media
takes advantage of him pouring his soul out. This theme follows
that of Freak On A Leash where he feels he is just used by
the industry to make money.
Wicked
Wicked,
a song originally from Predator by Ice Cube, features guest
vocals by Chino Moreno from the Deftones.
A.D.I.D.A.S
"It
stands for all day I dream about sex. It's about how much
of a pervert my ass is, and how I daydream about what a stud
I am. But when it comes down to it, I'm a fucking pussy and
I'm in there jacking off" - Jonathan Davis
Low
Rider
This
song by original artist War was sung by Head on his birthday.
The deep voice he uses is meant to imitate 80's rap artist
Tone Loc.
Ass
Itch
"That
was the last song I wrote, and I was so burned at writing
out lyrics because everytime I write I get depressed because
I start thinking about things, you know? So the whole song
is about that. In the chorus it says, 'Before day, my sun
will be dying'. It's because I put myself on the line all
the time and for what? Because people aren't going to be listening
to it anyway." - Jonathan Davis
Kill
You
"It's
about a relative I first met when I was 12. I fucking hate
that bitch. She's the most evil, fucked up person I've met
in my whole life. She hated my guts. She did everything she
could to make my life hell. Like, when I was sick she'd feed
me tea with Tabasco, which is really hot pepper oil. She'd
make me drink it and say, 'You have to burn that cold out,
boy'. Fucked up shit like that. So every night when I'd go
to sleep, I'd dream of killing that bitch. In some sick way
I had a sexual fantasy about her, and I don't know what that
stems from or why, but I always dreamt about fucking her and
killing her." - Jonathan Davis
