Korn Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We have no faces
Soon our lives they'll be erased
Do you think they will remember?
Or will we just be replaced
Oh I wish that I could see,
How I wish that I could fly
All the things that hang above me
So what can it be?
No one hears me call,
Echoes back at me
No ones there.
To all these nameless feelings
I can't deal with in my life
To all these greedy people
Trying to feed on what is mine
You've got to fill your hunger
And stop fucking with my mind
I know its time to leave these places far behind
You and me
We have no faces
They don't see us anymore
Without love as they had promised
And no faith for what's in store
Oh I wish that I could see
How I wish that I could fly
All the things that hang above me
To a place where I can cry
So what can it be?
No one hears me call,
Echoes back at me
No ones there.
To all these nameless feelings
I can't deal with in my life
To all these greedy people
Trying to feed on what is mine
You've got to fill your hunger
And stop fucking with my mind
I know its time to leave these places far behind
Where are all these feelings hiding?
Dancing in and out my mind
Burning up all that I long for
Feeding me till my decline
Where are you? My soul is bleeding
I am searching am I blind?
All alone and bound forever
Trapped inside me for all time
To all these nameless feelings
I can't deal with in my life
To all these greedy people
Trying to feed on what is mine
You've got to fill your hunger
And stop fucking with my mind
I know its time to leave these places far behind
I know its time to leave these places far behind
The song "For No One" by Korn seems to be about the feeling of being forgotten and replaced in society. The lyrics present a feeling of despair and hopelessness towards life. The two people in the song have no faces, which could be interpreted to suggest that they have no identity in society, and nobody seems to care about them or their existence. The song talks about how society is greedy and consumes individuality, causing negative emotions that individuals can no longer cope with.
The lyrics talk about the desire to leave behind society and find a place where one can freely express their emotions without the fear of being judged or forgotten. The line "So what can it be? No one hears me call, echoes back at me, no one's there" can be read as an expression of loneliness and the feeling of isolation that one might feel in society. The repetition of "To all these nameless feelings I can't deal with in my life" and "Trying to feed on what is mine, you've got to fill your hunger and stop fucking with my mind" presents the feeling of being consumed by the society's greed and selfishness.
Overall, the song expresses a sense of hopelessness, loneliness, and the desire to break free from societal constraints. It highlights the feeling of being forgotten and replaced in society and the struggles one may face while trying to find their place in a society that demands conformity.
