No Place to Hide
Korn Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Each time I dream you're standing there, right by my side
Why do you make me? You take my pride and in my eyes
You come and rape me inside
I have no
Place to run and hide
I have no
Some who look at the time, I looked back into my life
You wanna touch me to see what's in my eyes
Why do you make me remember my hate, all this shame?
Don't you hate me sometimes?
I have no
Place to run and hide
I have no
Place to hide, which I like
I have no place to run, so come and follow me
I have no place to run, so come and follow me
I have no place to run, so come and follow me
I have no place to run, so come and follow me
I have no place to run, so come and follow me
I have no place to run, so come and follow me
I have no place to run, so come and follow me
I have no place to run
Which I like, I like
Which I like, I like
Which I like, I like
Which I like, I like
Which I like, I like
Which I like, I like
Which I like, I like
Which I like, I like
I have no
Place to run and hide
I have no
Place to hide, which I like
I have no
Place to run and hide
I have no
Place to hide, which I like
In "No Place to Hide," Korn explores themes of trauma, violation, and powerlessness. The lyrics reveal a sense of confusion and betrayal as the singer dreams of those who have hurt him and feels violated repeatedly. The opening line, "I see your faces and I do not understand why," suggests the singer is haunted by someone from his past who has left a deep impression on him. He dreams of this person who continues to hold power over him and leads to dark thoughts about his own sense of worth.
The next stanza, "Why do you make me? You take my pride and in my eyes / You come and rape me inside," suggests a level of powerlessness and defeat. The word "rape" brings to light an obvious sense of violation and pain, and the word "inside" indicates a deeper type of violation rather than a physical one. The chorus, "I have no place to run and hide / I have no place to hide, which I like," seems to indicate that the singer has resigned himself to his trauma and feels as though there is no escape. The repetition of "which I like" serves to highlight the resignation and despair that the singer feels.
The final three stanzas of lyrics reinforce the singer's powerlessness and his attempts to find relief. He recognizes that others want to know his thoughts and catch a glimpse into his heart, but he continues to struggle with the trauma that he has gone through. The song ends with the singer reiterating his helplessness and his acceptance of the situation, indicating that there is no escape from the trauma that he has experienced.
