Open Up
{F.B.R} - Korn Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

What were you thinking?
I guess I'll never know
See your eyes blinking, pupils begin to grow
Killing you softly
Pulling you in
Making your mind up of whats sick or a sin

Open up now
Let it all go
I'm quite certain
Say it ain't so
You're corrupted by some sick fuck
Oh no
Open up now
Head in the sky
Pierce the tongue that keeps telling lies,
Still, it's in my mouth,
You breathe in but can't breathe out.

What you been taking
It makes you talk real slow
How come I'm thinking you'd be the last to know (you'd be the last to know)

Choking you gently
Gaining control
Hand you the shovel
To dig your own hole

Open up now
Let it all go
I'm quite certain
Say it ain't so
You're corrupted by some sick fuck
Oh no
Open up now
Head in the sky
Pierce the tongue that keeps telling lies,
Still, it's in my mouth,
You breathe in but can't breathe out.

Choking you gently
Gaining control
Hand you the shovel
To dig your own hole

Open up now
Let it all go
Open up now
Let it all go
Open up now
Head in the sky
Pierce the tongue that keeps telling lies,




Still, it's in my mouth,
You breathe in but can't breathe out.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Open Up" by Korn address a sense of powerlessness and manipulation. The verses of the song appear to be spoken by someone who is puzzled and concerned about the behavior of a person close to them, possibly a friend or a lover. The singer notes that the other person's eyes are dilating, indicating that they are under the influence of something or someone. They suggest that this influence, embodied in a "sick fuck," is shaping the other person's beliefs and decisions ("Making your mind up of what's sick or a sin").


The chorus, with its insistent repetition of "Open up now" and emphasis on breathing in and out, seems to be giving the other person a way out, urging them to confront their situation and take control. However, the second verse suggests that the other person may be too far gone to listen. They are taking something that makes them talk slowly and seem unaware of their own behavior. The final repetition of the chorus takes on a desperate, almost pleading tone, as though the singer is trying to break through some mental barrier and get the other person to see the truth.


Overall, the lyrics of "Open Up" express a sense of frustration and urgency in the face of someone else's apparent self-destructiveness. Through its use of vivid and often disturbing imagery ("Choking you gently...Hand you the shovel/To dig your own hole"), the song creates a sense of unease and creeping dread, reflecting the singer's growing concern for the other person's well-being.
