It's On
- Korn Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Come on

Save some for me
It's what I like
I wanna play
You know it's time

Something is calling
I can't keep from falling
Come on
It's on

You see it's my fault
Angels stabbing me inside
Nothing changes, just rearranges
For me this time

Once I cave in
What can I fight?
I can never win
Myself I don't like
I don't like, I don't like, I don't like

Something is calling
I can't keep falling
Come on
It's on

You see it's my fault
Angels stabbing me inside
Nothing changes, just rearranges
For me this time

This time
This time
For me inside
Put me inside
Hold me this time
Put me inside

Come on
It's on
Come on
It's on
Come on
It's on
Come on




Come on
It's on

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Korn's song "It's On" convey a sense of internal struggle and self-loathing. The repetitive chorus "Come on, it's on" could be interpreted as the singer being both taunted and compelled by his own inner demons. The opening lines "Save some for me, it's what I like, I wanna play, you know it's time" suggest a desire for embracing darkness, almost as if the singer is asking for suffering and pain.


The phrase "Angels stabbing me inside" represents the conflicting emotions within the singer's mind. The word "angels" adds a deeper layer to the meaning, implying that the pain inflicted upon him might be coming from a place that should be good or pure. The line "Nothing changes, just rearranges for me this time" hints at a cycle of self-destructive behavior, where the singer feels trapped and unable to break free.

This song brings back good memories seeing Korn in concert in this song was playing right before they hit the stage.

@alarak2159

Wished I saw them during the 90s. Only managed to see them first by 2011(?) - still, absolutely brilliant.

@ChillingWithMel22

@@alarak2159 Everytime I saw them it was awesome. I’ve seen Korn a total of four times in concert.
