NO WAY
KORN (USA) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Lately things won't go my way
Lately everything is grey
It feels like something
It feels like nothing

So I came too far
To end up this way
Feeling like I'm God
Feeling there's no way

So I'm angry for today
Anger's the only thing I've made
It feels like something
No it's nothing

So I came too far
To end up this way
Feeling like I'm God
Feeling there's no way

To live this way
Hating, feeling, falling
To the place where people haunt me
I can't help but give up
Falling to the place where people know me
I can't wait
To give them these feelings of hating
Keeping inside me
For all to take
Picking at me
They're ripping at me
Ripping at me

So I came too far
To end up this way
Feeling like I'm God
Feeling there's no way





To live this way
To live this way

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to KORN's "No Way" are heavy and somewhat difficult to decipher. The song seems to be about feeling powerless, angry, and trapped in a dark, negative place. The lyrics suggest a sense of hopelessness, as if the singer has lost any confidence in themselves or their ability to rise above their circumstances. The repeated line "So I came too far to end up this way" speaks to a feeling of disappointment and frustration that despite all their effort, things still haven't worked out.


The use of the word 'god' in the lyrics is interesting because it can be interpreted in a few different ways. It could be seen as the singer feeling like they are all-powerful and superior, or it could be seen as a sarcastic or bitter reference to feeling like they have no control over their life. The lyrics also reference anger repeatedly, and it's possible that this is seen as a coping mechanism for the singer. The line "Anger's the only thing I've made" suggests that the singer has channeled all their energy into this emotion, perhaps as a way to keep from falling apart completely.


Overall, KORN's "No Way" is a dark, introspective song that explores themes of powerlessness, anger, and despair. It's not a happy song by any means, but it's a powerful expression of the frustration that can accompany difficult times.
