Alone I Break
Korn Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Pick me up
Been bleeding too long
Right here, right now
I'll stop it somehow

I will make it go away
Can't be here no more
Seems this is the only way
I will soon be gone
These feelings will be gone
These feelings will be gone

Now I see the times, they change
Leaving doesn't seem so strange
I am hoping I can find
Where to leave my hurt behind
All this shit I seem to take
All alone I seem to break
I have lived the best I can
Does this make me not a man?

Shut me off
I am ready
Heart stops
I stand alone
Can't be on my own

I will make it go away
Can't be here no more
Seems this is the only way
I will soon be gone
These feelings will be gone
These feelings will be gone

Now I see the times, they change
Leaving doesn't seem so strange
I am hoping I can find
Where to leave my hurt behind
All this shit I seem to take
All alone I seem to break
I have lived the best I can
Does this make me not a man?

Am I going to leave this place?
What is it I'm hanging from?
Is there nothing more to come? (Am I gonna leave this place?)
Is it always black in space?
Am I going to take its place?
Am I going to leave this race? (Am I going to leave this race?)
I guess God's up in this place?
What is it that I've become?
Is there something more to come?
More to come

Now I see the times, they change
Leaving doesn't seem so strange
I am hoping I can find
Where to leave my hurt behind
All this shit I seem to take
All alone I seem to break
I have lived the best I can
Does this make me not a man?

Now I see the times, they change
Leaving doesn't seem so strange
I am hoping I can find
Where to leave my hurt behind
All this shit I seem to take
All alone I seem to break




I have lived the best I can
Does this make me not a man?

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Korn's "Alone I Break" are full of powerful emotions of pain and suffering. The song touches on themes of depression, loneliness, and isolation. The lyrics suggest that the singer is tired of suffering and wants to end their life. The opening lines "Pick me up, Been bleeding too long," shows that the singer is hurting, and they have been suffering for a long time and cannot take it anymore. They want the pain to go away and will do anything to stop it.


The chorus of the song is a plea for help. The singer is struggling to find a way out of their pain and feels they cannot be alone anymore. They want to stop the pain, and they see suicide as the only way out. The line, "Can't be here no more, Seems this is the only way, I will soon be gone," suggests that the singer has lost all hope and has given up on life.


The verse, "All this shit I seem to take, All alone I seem to break," shows that the singer has been carrying a heavy burden for a long time. They feel like they are alone and that no one understands their pain. The line "Does this make me not a man?" suggests that the singer is questioning their masculinity, which is common in people with depression.
