Make Me Bad
Korn Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I am watching the rise
And fall of my salvation
There's so much shit around me
Such a lack of compassion

I thought it would be fun and games
(It would be fun and games)
Instead it's all the same
(It's all the same)
I want something to do
Need to feel the sickness in you

I feel the reason
As it's leaving me
No, not again
It's quite deceiving
As I'm feeling
The flesh make me bad

All I do is look for you
And when I fix you needed to
Just to get some sort of attention
Attention

What does it mean to you?
(What does it mean to you?)
For me, it's something I just do (I just do)
I want something
I need to feel the sickness in you

I feel the reason
As it's leaving me
No, not again
It's quite deceiving
As I'm feeling
The flesh make me bad

I feel the reason
As it's leaving me
No, not again
It's quite deceiving
As I'm feeling
The flesh make me bad

I feel the reason
As it's leaving me
No, not again
It's quite deceiving
As I'm feeling
The flesh make me bad (does it make me bad?)

I feel the reason
As it's leaving me
No, not again (does it make me bad?)
It's quite deceiving
As I'm feeling
The flesh make me bad

(Does it make me bad?)




(Does it make me bad?)
(Does it make me bad?)

Overall Meaning

"Make Me Bad" by Korn is a song about the singer's struggle with addiction and his relationship with his darker impulses. The lyrics talk about watching the "rise and fall" of his salvation, acknowledging that the world around him is filled with "so much shit" and "a lack of compassion." The singer expresses his desire for something to do and a need to feel "the sickness" within himself.


The chorus brings up the idea of "the flesh" making him "bad," which can be interpreted as a reference to his addiction and the physical sensations that come with it. He describes feeling the "reason" leaving him, but also acknowledges how "deceiving" addiction can be in making him want to feel the sickness again.


The song is a powerful exploration of addiction and the singer's complicated relationship with it. The lyrics capture the struggle of wanting to give in to darker impulses while recognizing the damage that it can cause. The catchy chorus and heavy instrumentation help to drive home the emotional impact of the song.


Line by Line Meaning

I am watching the rise
I am observing the growth and improvement of something


And fall of my salvation
And the decline and abandoning of what could save me


There's so much shit around me
There are many problematic situations and people around me


Such a lack of compassion
People are lacking empathy and kindness


I thought it would be fun and games
I expected it to be enjoyable and amusing


(It would be fun and games)
(I believed it would be entertaining)


Instead it's all the same
However, it is monotonous and unchanging


(It's all the same)
(There is no variance or diversity)


I want something to do
I desire an activity or occupation


Need to feel the sickness in you
I crave the negative and harmful influence you possess


I feel the reason
I experience the cause or explanation


As it's leaving me
As it is departing from me


No, not again
This cannot happen repeatedly


It's quite deceiving
It is tricky or misleading


As I'm feeling
While I am sensing or experiencing


The flesh make me bad
My physical body causes me to become wicked


All I do is look for you
My sole objective is to search for you


And when I fix you needed to
And when I address your issues, you inevitably require further assistance


Just to get some sort of attention
Only to receive some form of recognition or notice


What does it mean to you?
What significance does this hold for you?


(What does it mean to you?)
(Do you attach importance to it?)


For me, it's something I just do (I just do)
But for me, this is something I simply engage in


I want something
I desire something


I need to feel the sickness in you
I require the sensation of your negative influence


(Does it make me bad?)
(Is this causing me to become wicked?)
