It's On "It's
On" is my shit peer pressure song. Me being so stressed out going out and partying.
Everybody's just going 'Come on dude, it's on.' That's partying, it's alcohol,
cocaine, women. All that wrapped into one. I wrote a song about it. And the chorus
I talked about Why am I really doing this? It's all my fault that I'm doing this
because all the alcohol, the booze an the chicks do is just make it worse. They
just rearrange all the problems in a different order that I can deal with at that
moment."
Freak
On A Leash "One of the best
titles I've heard ever for a song. That's my song against the music industry.
Like me feeling like I'm fuckin' a pimp, a prostitute. Like I'm paraded around.
I'm this freak paraded around but I got corporate America fuckin' making all the
money while it's taking a part of me. It's like they stole something from me,
they stole my innocence and I'm not calm anymore. I worry constantly."
Got the Life "That's
a song baggin' on myself. How everything's always handed to me. How I look up
to God and don't want this anymore. Like I want something more out of life than
all this. And I've got everything I really need but I sometimes don't like.
I don't know how to explain it. I have to let it sit through the songs more to
actually get into what I write. I truly know, really, the meanings of the songs
almost. That's what I'm getting out of it right now." Dead
Bodies Everywhere "That was the song about my parents
trying to keep me out of the music business. My father was in it and he knew
how it was and I totally understand now that I have a son. I want Nathan to be
a musician but I him don't want him to go through the hell I went through. That's
the same thing my Dad was doing. A lot of people can relate to it, because it's
like the Dad's wanting their sons to be football players and their sons want to
be doctors or something. That peer pressure its like trying to make them something
they're really not. And the Dead Bodies thing is like so I did it and all I got
out of it was dead bodies everywhere and got all traumatized. Thanks a lot Dad,
Mom." Children
of the Korn "That's
the song that Ice Cube is on Cube came up with the title. I fed off of what he
wrote, he was talking about growing up and puberty. Dictating what he can do,
like how you gonna tell me how to live and who to fuck? And all this stuff.
And I took that and in my stuff I was talking about being a kid always known as
the fuckin' town faggot. It's funny how things change. That some of these people
picked on me and all of a sudden look who's laughing now. Also in another of
the verse I talked about all these parents fuckin hating me for what I do, saying
I'm corrupting their children, but in turn these parents need to step outside
of themselves and really listen to what I'm talking about. Then I think they
can understand that they were kids before. They're just really quick to judge
me. All the Children of The Korn are all our Korn fans. All those kids going
through that shit and feeling what I feel." B.B.K "Big
black cock! That's what I call a jack and coke. Those little glasses they serve
in Europe and everything. That's what I named it, big black cock. And that's
another song about me dealing with the pressures of this album and how I, you
know, I'm trying to kill myself, but you know? Do I really want to kill myself?
Things I'm just questioning myself. Most of this is self-structured." Pretty "It's
a story about this little girl that came into the coroner's office when I was
working there and she was fucked by her dad. She was an 11 month old little baby
girl. Her legs were broken back behind her and he just fucked her like a toy
doll and chucked her in the bathroom. It was the most heinous thing I've ever
seen in my life and I still have nightmares about it." All
in the Family "Fred was there after Korn TV and we
said, 'Let's do a song together, Hey, man, let's go back and forth and rip on
each other like an old school battle.' I don't know who's idea it was, I can't
remember if it was mine or Fieldy's or Fred's but we came up with the idea and
we started writing and we worked on it together. I came up with some bags on
myself for Fred to say. It was all in good natured fun."
Reclaim
my Place "This one
is about the whole band and about all my life being called a homosexual. And
then I became this big rock star in a band and I'm still called a fag even by
my own band. So it's like I was fuckin' pissed off at them. It's like erase
them all because I'm gonna reclaim my place and say hey, they owe a lot to me
for what I did, and I owe a lot to them back. But, it still kinda sucks. I've
never ever gotten away from that fag fuckin' title. Just because I'm a sensitive
kinda guy. Kinda feminine it really sucks."
Justin "Justin,
that was the kid dying terminally with intestinal cancer. His last dying wish
was to meet us and it really freaked me out. That threw a whole bunch of new
kind of pressures on my head. That's really intense. Someone's gonna die and
his last thing he wants to do is come hang out with us. So I truly just freaked
out. It's like why would you want to meet me? What makes me so special? And
in turn I talk about how I admire his strength and his life. I couldn't stare
at him because he was so content he was gonna die. No one could look him in the
eyes. And I totally admire his strength. I wish I had it."
Seed "Seed.
That's all about the same thing again. I, laying in bed in my hotel room, thinking
about do I really need all this stuff? All this pressure on me? Because I'm
a stressed out freak. It's about Nathan, it's about every time that I look into
his eyes, I see myself how I used to be, innocent and stress free. I'm kind of
jealous of it. It really sucks, I used to be that way. It's like I have to work
so hard at this thing in my life. I have to become a stressed out freak. I
put food on the table for my child. Every time I look in his eyes, I just see
myself staring right back at my ass laughing. I was like care free, innocent
as a child. It's really weird and I'm really jealous of it."
Cameltosis "That's
a love song. It's about women in general, women who hurt me. It's Tre's lyrics.
He's going on about chicks and my chorus is like I'm so scared to love anyone
and really let them in after I got hurt really really bad by a girl. I've let
Renee in a little bit, to be honest, but I'll never be that in love ever again.
That's what I'm saying, if you've loved twice, you're gonna get fucked, 'cause
you usually do."
My
Gift to You "Renee
always wanted me to write her a love song and that's why I called it My Gift To
You. It's my gift to her, you know how I get sick. I always had a fantasy of
fucking her and choking her to death. I fantasize about what it would look like
me in her body and watching me do it. So it's like a really sick fucked up song.
I did it totally like, I love her so much, I want to take her out of this world.
It's really strange. She used to leave notes on my pillow like 25 ways she'd
like to kill me. She's got this weird death fetish. We're kinda fuckin' freaky.
She got it. She's all 'Thank you that's kinda fucked up. I was expecting a fuckin'
I love you, baby kinda song.' I'm all, 'No, you know me.' I mean I can't do that."
