Korn Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Something must be wrong
Emotions in my space
Tight grip holding on
I can't control the events around me
I can't console the stress inside me
And once I turn off my brain
I want you to see I'm trying to please
Everyone around me
I'm down on my knees, the stress makes me bleed
It feels like they're all stabbing me
Feeling out of place
Why must I hold on?
Anger I can taste
Tight-lipped self is gone
I can't control the events around me
I can't console the stress inside me
And once I turn off my brain
I realize I am alive
I want you to see I'm trying to please
Everyone around me
I'm down on my knees, the stress makes me bleed
It feels like they're all stabbing me
What the fuck do you want from me?
I am just a human being
Living my life to please everyone
I can't do this anymore
Being everybody's whore
Being everybody's whore
Being everybody's whore
Being everybody's whore
For once
I'm gonna stand up
And please me
I want you to see I'm trying to please
Everyone around me
I'm down on my knees, the stress makes me bleed
It feels like they're all stabbing me
Being everybody's whore
Being everybody's whore
Being everybody's whore
Being everybody's whore
The lyrics to Korn's song "Move On" express the feeling of being overwhelmed and stressed by the pressure to please everyone around us. The singer feels out of place and senses that something is wrong, but tight grips on their emotions keep them from speaking up. The stress that they feel is so intense that it feels like they are being stabbed by those around them.
The lyrics suggest that the singer is tired of being a people-pleaser and being everyone's "whore." They're "down on their knees" trying to please everyone and feeling like they're bleeding from the stress. But the singer has had enough, and in the end, they stand up and ask, "What the fuck do you want from me?" They're done with trying to be everything for everyone and are ready to take control of their own life.
The song is a raw and emotional expression of the weight that we can feel from trying to keep up with the expectations of others. It speaks to the struggle many people face in finding their place and feeling like they belong, without sacrificing their own well-being and desires.
