liar
Korn氀 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But don't give up your instincts
Hang onto you know what
They'll be gone fast as you blink
They're trained to seduce you
Suck you dry quick as they can
They tried to reduce you
Now you're barely a man
Oh my God
How can you deny the blood
That's flowing through you
Hey you
You're saying that she's all that you desire
Liar
Hey you
You think you can throw water on this fire
Liar
It's not wrong to let go
And let the woman ride you
For fuck sake, don't lose touch
With the dog that's inside you
She wanted what you had
You bet she smelt the spore
Don't give up, fuck her up
One more time, slam that door
Oh my God
How can you deny the blood
That's flowing through you
(Scat)
Oh my God
How can you deny the blood
That's flowing through you
Oh my God
How can you deny the blood
That's flowing through you
The lyrics of "Liar" by Korn talk about a man who has fallen under the spell of a woman who is trying to seduce him. The song warns the man not to give up his instincts and to hold onto his base instincts as a man. It is implied that the woman he is involved with is trying to change him, to "reduce" him to less than a man. The lyrics suggest that the man is in danger of losing touch with his true self, his "dog" or primal nature.
The chorus is a strong condemnation of the man's behavior, calling him a liar for saying that the woman is all that he desires. The song suggests that the man is lying to himself and trying to put out the fire that burns inside him by giving into her.
Overall, the song is a critique of relationships where one person tries to change the other, to make them into something they are not. It celebrates the primal nature of man and the importance of holding onto that nature, even in the face of seduction and temptation. It warns against giving up one's instincts and identity, even when under duress.
