I’m not the hugest fan of KoRn, but I really like this song. I think I like it more because it’s an actual song as opposed to a series of odd sounds (KoRn–in my opinion–have some great moments in their songs, but they rarely add up to a great song). There’s a verse, a bridge, a chorus–it’s a classically composed pop song really.
As regards the song’s meaning, from Wikipedia:
“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.” – Jonathan Davis
And of course, the lyrics:
Hate, something, sometime, someway, something kicked on the front floor…
Mine? Something, inside.
I’ll never ever follow.
So give.. me.. some.. thing.. that.. is.. for.. real.
I’ll never ever follow.
Get your boogie on…
Get your boogie on…
Hate, something, someway, each day, feeling ripped off again. NO!
Why? This shit inside.
Now everyone will follow.
So give.. me.. no.. thing.. just.. feel.
And now this shit will follow.
God paged me, he’ll never see the lie, who wants to see?
God told me, I’ve already got the life, oh I say…
God paged me, he’ll never see the lie, who wants to see?
God told me, I’ve already got the life, oh I say…
Each day I can feel it swallow, inside something took from me.
I don’t feel your deathly ways.
Each day I feel so hollow, inside always beating me,,
You will never see, so come dance with me.
Dance with me
Dance with me
Dance with me
Dance with me (Rumbiddieboo Rumbiddieboo
Dance with me Rumbiddieboo Rum bum dee dum dee
Dance with me bum diddie doo Rumbiddieboo)
ME!
God pains me, he’ll never see the lie, who wants to see?
God told me, I’ve already got the life, oh I say…
God pains me, he’ll never see the lie, who wants to see?
God told me, I’ve already got the life.
Got the life
Got the life
Got the life
Got the life
Got the life
Got the life
Got the life
Got the life
Got… the… life.
