10 or a 2-way
Korn Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Lick it dip it and for no particular reason
She crawls on the floor
Slides against the door
Precious fingers shows her blossom in this season
Doesn't matter she'll be doing it her way
Doesn't care if it's a 10 or a 2 way
Every night, every day
I!
Never meant to show up here anyway
I'm!
Only fucking you till the seasons change
Treasure deep between the places that you hold dear
Came to her to act as if we are in love here
Lying across this chair
Fingers everywhere
To the follies of the angels up above, yea
Doesn't matter she'll be doing it her way
Doesn't care if it's a 10 or a 2 way
Doesn't matter she'll be doing it her way
Every night, every day
I!
Never meant to show up here anyway
I'm!
Only fucking you till the seasons change
When you come (be a good girl)
Hold your breath (make it last long)
It is called (death)
The little death (death girl)
I!
Never meant to show up here anyway
I'm!
Only fucking you till the seasons change
I!
Never meant to show up here anyway
I'm!
Only fucking you till the seasons change
The lyrics to Korn's song "10 or a 2-Way" are dark and suggestive, reflecting the mindset of a woman who knows how to hold and handle "poison." The singer describes how this woman "licks it" and "dips it" without any particular reason, crawling on the floor and sliding against the door. Her behavior is reckless and erratic, as she shows off her "blossom in this season."
The woman's disregard for convention is emphasized in the chorus, where the singer repeats that "it doesn't matter, she'll be doing it her way" whether it's a "10 or a 2-way," referring to a single or a double connection. The singer admits that he never meant to end up in this situation, but he's "only fucking" her until the seasons change. The woman is described as a "death girl," and the singer tells her to "hold her breath" when he comes, emphasizing the dangerous, almost vampiric nature of their relationship.
Overall, the lyrics to "10 or a 2-Way" paint a picture of a woman who is addicted to risk and pleasure, and a narrator who is caught up in her web despite knowing it's not a healthy situation.

Precious fingers she knows how to hold the poison
She is experienced with dangerous substances
Lick it dip it and for no particular reason
She indulges in the poison without reason
She crawls on the floor
She moves seductively on the ground
Slides against the door
She uses the door for support while dancing
Precious fingers shows her blossom in this season
Her skilled fingers show her expertise during this time
Doesn't matter she'll be doing it her way
She is independent and will do what she wants
Doesn't care if it's a 10 or a 2 way

He did not intend to have a relationship with her
Only fucking you till the seasons change
He is only interested in a short-term sexual arrangement
Treasure deep between the places that you hold dear
She has secrets that she keeps close to her heart
Came to her to act as if we are in love here
He is pretending to be in love with her
Lying across this chair
She is sprawled out on a piece of furniture
Fingers everywhere
She is touching him all over his body
To the follies of the angels up above, yea
She is engaging in sinful behavior
When you come (be a good girl)
He is giving instructions for sexual behavior
Hold your breath (make it last long)
He wants her to prolong the sexual experience
It is called (death)
He views their sexual escapades as dangerous
The little death (death girl)
He is referring to the French term for orgasm as a metaphor for death
