Narcissistic
Korn/Skrillex Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Desecrate my mind and rely on you
I just wanna break this crown
But it's hard when I'm so run down
And you're so cynical, Narcissistic Cannibal!
Got to bring myself back from the dead!
Everything's wrong every time
Pushing on I can't escape
Everything that comes my way
Is haunting me taking its sweet time
Holding on I'm lost in a haze
Fighting life to the end of my days
Don't wanna be rude but I have to
Nothing's good about the hell you put me through
I just need to look around
See that life that has come unbound
And you're so cynical, Narcissistic Cannibal
Got to bring myself back from the dead
Sometimes, I hate, the life I made
Everything's wrong every time
Pushing on I can't escape
Everything that comes my way
Is haunting me taking its sweet time
Sometimes, I hate, the life I made
Everything's wrong every time
Pushing on I can't escape
Everything that comes my way
Is haunting me taking its sweet time
Holding on I'm lost in a haze
Fighting life to the end of my days
Holding on I'm lost in a haze
Fighting life to the end of my days

Narcissistic Cannibal by Korn is my favourite song by them besides Freak On A Lease with both pieces being some of the best music I have ever heard from a rock band.
Relate a lot to the lyrics of Narcissistic Cannibal as sometimes I felt used up by the narcissistics in my life and want a way to regain my strength to live my life and not be left behind and broken by these kinds of individuals.
Skrillex and Kill The Noise did a great job here with remixing the song and adding cool tunes that makes this song feel very futuristic.
The imagery on the otherhand was on point when capturing the message being said by the lyrics.
Nothing else to say but Korn, Skrillex and Kill The Noise are legendary artists and their collab song Narcissistic Cannibal is the very embodiment of coolness.
May these artists rock on and keep on energizing people with their incredible music.

@charleywaffles6366
The same band that has made a heavy metal nursery rhyme song can also mix with dubstep and absolutely kill it? Ladies and Gentlemen, Korn!
@Jaradis
This and 'Get Up!' are probably two of my favorite Korn songs, and I like most of them. I really was hoping these songs would have led more bands to go with this type of music.
