It's All Wrong
Korn Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

What's it gonna be today?
Keep chipping at my soul
And why must it disobey?
The only thing I loathe

How many times a day must I die?
Nothing's gonna work today
I'm killing time
Looking all around to find a way
It's all wrong
Knowing that my demon won
I'm done!

Have I been lead astray?
Blaming the righteous
What do you think they'd say?
Attacking the altar

How many times a day must I die?
Nothing's gonna work today
I'm killing time
Looking all around to find a way
It's all wrong
Knowing that my demon won
I'm done!
I'm done

I'm done with faceless feelings
I'm done with anything
I'm done trying to support you
and sacrificing everything

Everything, everything!

How many times a day must I die?
Nothing's gonna work today
I'm killing time
Looking all around to find a way
It's all wrong




Knowing that my demon won
I'm done!

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Korn's song "It's All Wrong" express feelings of frustration and desperation as the singer grapples with his inner demons. The first and second verses speak to the constant pressure that the singer is feeling in his life. He describes the "chipping" away of his soul, and poses the question of why his soul must disobey, suggesting that perhaps he is battling forces beyond his control. He then laments the fact that he feels like he is dying over and over again each day, and that nothing seems to be working. The chorus repeats the phrase "it's all wrong," emphasizing the sense of hopelessness that the singer is feeling.


In the bridge, he questions whether he has been led astray and wonders what the righteous would say about his situation. He then acknowledges that he feels like he is attacking the very thing that he should be worshiping, which adds to his sense of confusion and despair. The final verse expresses a sense of finality, as the singer declares that he is "done" with everything. He is tired of feeling like he is sacrificing everything to support others, and he wants to break free from the cycle of negativity that he finds himself in.


Overall, the lyrics to "It's All Wrong" are quite introspective, and speak to the universal human experience of grappling with inner demons and feeling lost and hopeless at times. It's a powerful expression of the struggles that we all face, and a reminder that we are not alone in our battles.
