Predictable
Korn Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can in every way
Mistake the pain I feel inside
It comes to me
Evil thoughts just creeping through my mind
Who are you to say
It runs away
It's so predictable
I can in every way
Feel the stress that tangled up inside
Too blind to see
Emptiness and sorrow of their lives
They run away
To the cover of their pointless ties
You ask me
It's so predictable
I'm gonna try
But I'm gonna die
I'm gonna try
Another day
Silence overwhelms my mind
But who is to say
If I have the time or why?
Should I pray
For all the hate to go away?
Another day
I can never break free
You wait for me
I call out to you
Another day
I'll live forever
Why should I?
I'm gonna try
But I'm gonna die
I'm gonna try
(Ugh) fuck
I'm gonna try (should I?)
I'm gonna try (should I?)
I'm gonna try (should I?)
I'm gonna try, should I?
I'm gonna try
But I'm gonna die
I'm gonna try
The lyrics to Korn's song Predictable explore themes of internal turmoil, stress, and the struggle to be heard. The singer expresses a sense of pain and evil thoughts creeping through their mind. They push back against those who would silence them, insisting on their right to speak their mind. However, despite their efforts to escape the emptiness and sorrow they feel, the singer remains stuck in place, unable to break free from the predictable cycle of their life.
The repetition of the phrase "it's so predictable" throughout the song emphasizes the singer's frustration with their own inability to change their circumstances. Despite their desire to try and break free, they feel like they will eventually fail and die. The song concludes with a series of question marks, adding a sense of uncertainty to the already intense emotional landscape of the lyrics.
Overall, Predictable is a powerful anthem for anyone who has felt trapped or suffocated by their circumstances. The song's heavy instrumentation and raw vocals perfectly capture the intensity of the emotions being expressed.

I can in every way
I am fully capable of doing so
Mistake the pain I feel inside
Confuse my inner emotional turmoil with something else
It comes to me
I feel it deeply within myself
Evil thoughts just creeping through my mind
Disturbing and dark ideas invade my consciousness
Who are you to say
Why do you have the authority to forbid me from speaking my mind?
That I can't speak what's on my mind?
Expressing myself openly and honestly is prohibited by someone else's rules
It runs away
The opportunity to express myself openly escapes me
It's so predictable
This situation has occurred before and will happen again in the future
Feel the stress that tangled up inside
Sensations of pressure and anxiety intertwined within me
Too blind to see
Unable or unwilling to recognize something
Emptiness and sorrow of their lives
The people around me are struggling with a sense of worthlessness and sadness
They run away
Those individuals choose to escape their problems in futile ways

I'm gonna try
I will make an effort
But I'm gonna die
Nonetheless, I anticipate this will lead to a failure or negative outcome
Another day
A repetitive, monotonous existence
Silence overwhelms my mind
A lack of sound leaves me feeling uneasy and anxious
But who is to say
Why should anyone get to make a judgement about my life and experiences?
If I have the time or why?
Am I even guaranteed enough time to pursue my desires?
Should I pray
Is it even worth it to hope for a better outcome?
For all the hate to go away?
To eradicate all of the negativity and animosity in the world.
I'll live forever
I will achieve immortality of some kind.
You wait for me
I know that someone is counting on me or waiting for me.
I call out to you
I am reaching out for help or support.
Why should I?
Why do I have to do whatever everyone else thinks is best?
(Ugh) fuck
Expressing frustration or anger.
I'm gonna try (should I?)
I am considering whether or not to attempt something.
I'm gonna try (should I?)
I am unsure of whether or not I should take a risk.
I'm gonna try (should I?)
I am weighing the potential outcomes of my actions.
I'm gonna try, should I?
I am conflicted about taking a specific action.
I'm gonna try
Regardless of my hesitations, I will give it my best effort.
But I'm gonna die
Despite my best efforts, my death is inevitable.

PICTURES ON THE WALL(FLYING)
Run away with the lights on
Keep what's uncovered tied up under his light bulb bomb
Now I can see he's gotta strong arm
Whew! But where did the charm go
Make one small mistake and you'll be pushed out the nest
Trying to learn to survive and fly like the rest
Catch a call in the wild
Meet dust from the ground
Everytime I tell you I love you
You sit back and smirk and jerk around what you found
Cuz she ain't perfect Thursday
Stumbling in the shade with a feather in her braid
Trying to figure out after five years abstinent
What it could have meant to rub a dent or get laid
Down in his bed where he thinks his guy thoughts
While I'm lost in disguise of a poetic wise shop
Caught into pretty stationary paper, pens and forget me nots
Forget you I cannot
Dare even try
Easier to lay myself down and for no reason die
Sigh from the bright lights
With no lamp shield overhead
Dream of being weak and fascinated
On each step where you tread
Like a step on a staircase
And a railing I embrace
With your face in that hoodie
And your eyes in that knowing place
Going by
As the wind keeps blowing by
Like a tree ledge up high
The only way to fly or something
Is jumping
Right in your pupil
I stare in your eyeball
With the colored lightbulb doing something funny against the wall
Looking right at you
Your a doll
Before I fly to you
I'm going to fall
There's no way through you so I'm going to crawl
With the light putting pictures on the wall.

Lyrics
Go
I can in every way
Mistake the pain
I feel inside
It comes to me
Evil thoughts just
Creeping through my mind
Who are you to say
That I can't speak
What's on my mind?
It runs away
It's so predictable
I can in every way
Feel the stress that
Tangled up inside
Too blind to see
Emptiness and the sorrow
Of their lives
They run away
To the cover of
Their pointless ties
You ask me
It's so predictable
I'm gonna try
But I'm gonna die
I'm gonna try
(Guitar Solo)
Another day
Silence overwhelms my mind
But who is to say
If I have the
Time or why?
Should I pray
For all the hate
To go away?
Another day
I can never break free
You wait for me
I call out to you
Another day
I'll live forever
Why should I?
I'm gonna try
But I'm gonna die
I'm gonna try
Ooh
Fuck
I'm gonna try,
Should I?
I'm gonna try,
Should I?
I'm gonna try,
Should I?
I'm gonna try,
Should I?
I'm gonna try
But I'm gonna die
I'm gonna try

Scoot on forward
Dripping fish line
Your the warmest
Chill within a bass rhyme
As I call a rewind about
Straight fucking you out
As I let your heart shout through the drought
Pour it all over my sand castle
South west
Out on the coast moving
Stop signs near your address
Wear me out
I'll put your wrecked neck
Under test
Bleed like your blessed from the scratches
I don't want to wrestle u to find out where the matches
Caught the room on fire down the hall
Where the broken spliff stash is
I can't be honest about the blues
Just another guy who wants to use
Me hidden
Falling under treble
U purposefully hid me in
Try to make me look stupid
Crying at the rain rampage
Purple falling color
Disinegrate my heart
When you mention
My mother
I could care less to care more
You'll just rip her heart out the frame for sure
And echo back pain
Till I'm drained
Refrain from sleeping
On the hard dusty floor
Now this desert doesn't become me
Getting much of numb anymore
And the door I used to shop your tracks in
Keeps clearing out
Into my black vinyl wax again
So I can pretend through boredom
I got some more time to ignore him
And press a saucer through a small hole in a glass shoe
Dance bleeding feet on the tile
Near the pile
Of three pillows
Underneath
Where the ceilings low
Everything I love goes
But him arriving
In a hatchback car full of stars
Blueberries n straws
Diss me
Nick me
Sick me
Sick boi scars

That moment when every song in the album is Amazing.
It's a rare phenomenon.
LosMatesdePochita
It´s a classic

I can only think of Pink Floyd’s The Wall as a contender.
I’d still pick this one. Every fucking song is so good. I hear the end of one, and I’m so hype for the next, every time.
