Seen It All
Atticus Ross/Korn/Matrix Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm the answer to your prayers
I'm a witness on a witch hunt
I'm the monster up the stairs
I'm the ghost that's in the mirror
I'm everything that you fear
I'm the ripped heart, I'm the soul shot
I've seen it all, still can't taste it
Smashed to the wall, it brought me to my knees
I've done it all, fucked up, wasted
Still in my blood, but now inside I'm sane
I'm the hunted, I'm a predator
I'm the answer to the riddle
I'm the upbeat, I'm the headfuck
I'm the way I've left in the middle
I'm the player undenying
I'm the one who's not addicted
I'm the logic to the fuck up
I'm the broken one who fixed it
I've seen it all, still can't taste it
Smashed to the wall, it brought me to my knees
I've done it all, fucked up, wasted
Still in my blood, but now inside I'm sane
I've seen it all, still can't taste it
Smashed to the wall, it brought me to my knees
I've done it all, fucked up, wasted
Still in my blood, but now inside I'm sane
I'm just a child
With tears in its eyes
I am holding this gift that is broken
What do I have left now?
I've seen it all, still can't taste it
Smashed to the wall, it brought me to my knees
I've done it all, fucked up, wasted
Still in my blood, but now inside I'm sane
I've seen it all, still can't taste it
Smashed to the wall, it brought me to my knees
I've done it all, fucked up, wasted
Still in my blood, but now inside I'm sane
Now inside I'm sane
The song "Seen It All" by Atticus Ross, Korn, and Matrix is a powerful exploration of the complexities of human experience. The lyrics are full of contrasts and contradictions, highlighting the duality of human nature. The singer claims to be both an animal and a victim, the answer to someone's prayers and the monster under the stairs. They are simultaneously the hunted and the predator, the broken one who fixed it, and the logic to the fuck up. All of these dichotomies come together to paint a picture of someone who has truly seen it all and emerged on the other side with a sense of clarity.
The chorus repeats the sentiment that the singer has "seen it all" but still can't taste it. They have been through everything, they have been smashed to the wall and brought to their knees, they have fucked up and wasted away. But despite it all, they are still sane. This last line is a powerful testament to the resilience of the human spirit. No matter how much darkness we may experience, there is always a chance to find sanity and clarity on the other side.
Overall, "Seen It All" is a hauntingly beautiful song that speaks to the contradictions at the heart of the human experience. Through its powerful lyrics and driving beat, it captures both the pain and the beauty of being alive.
