Got The Life
. Korn Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Something kick off the front floor
Mine, something inside I'll never ever follow
So give me something
That is for real, I'll never ever follow
Get your boogie on
Get your boogie on
Hate, something, somewhere, each day
Feeling ripped off again now
Why? This shit inside, now everyone will follow
So give me nothing, just feel
And now this shit will follow
God paged me
"You'll never see the life", who wants to see?
God told me
I've already got the life, oh, I say
God paged me
"You'll never see the life", 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 they took from me
I don't wanna feel your deathly ways
Each day I feel so hollow
Inside I was beating me
You will never see, so come dance with me
Dance with me
Dance with me
Dance with me
Dance with me
Dance with me
Dance with me
Me
God paged me
"You'll never see the life", who wants to see?
God told me
I've already got the life, oh, I say
God paged me
"You'll never see the life", 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
The lyrics of Korn's "Got The Life" are open to interpretation, but the overall theme seems to be about rejecting societal expectations and finding one's own path in life. The song begins with the repeated phrase "hate something sometime someway", which could refer to the frustration and anger felt towards societal norms and expectations. The lines "give me something that is for real" and "give me nothing just feel" suggest a desire for authenticity and genuine experiences.
As the song progresses, the lyrics take a more spiritual turn, with references to God and the light. The line "each day I can feel it swallow, inside something they took from me" could refer to the loss of individuality and the pressure to conform to societal expectations. However, the chorus, with its repeated emphasis on having "got the life", suggests that the singer has found their own path and is content with their choices.
The lyrics are complemented by a heavy, guitar-driven instrumental that is characteristic of Korn's nu-metal sound. The repeated "Rumbiddieboo" and "Rum bum dee dumb dee bum diddie doo" add a playful and almost nonsensical element to the song, which contrasts with its more serious themes.
