Seen It All
Korn Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm the answer to your prayers
I'm a witness on a witch hunt
I'm the monster up the stairs
I'm the ghost that's in the mirror
I'm everything that you fear
I'm the ripped heart, I'm the soul shot
I've seen it all, still can't taste it
Smashed to the wall, it brought me to my knees
I've done it all, fucked up, wasted
Still in my blood, but now inside I'm sane
I'm the hunted, I'm a predator
I'm the answer to the riddle
I'm the upbeat, I'm the headfuck
I'm the way I've left in the middle
I'm the player undenying
I'm the one who's not addicted
I'm the logic to the fuck up
I'm the broken one who fixed it
I've seen it all, still can't taste it
Smashed to the wall, it brought me to my knees
I've done it all, fucked up, wasted
Still in my blood, but now inside I'm sane
I've seen it all, still can't taste it
Smashed to the wall, it brought me to my knees
I've done it all, fucked up, wasted
Still in my blood, but now inside I'm sane
I'm just a child
With tears in its eyes
I am holding this gift that is broken
What do I have left now?
I've seen it all, still can't taste it
Smashed to the wall, it brought me to my knees
I've done it all, fucked up, wasted
Still in my blood, but now inside I'm sane
I've seen it all, still can't taste it
Smashed to the wall, it brought me to my knees
I've done it all, fucked up, wasted
Still in my blood, but now inside I'm sane
Now inside I'm sane
The lyrics of Korn's "Seen It All" describe a person who feels like they have lived through everything and experienced everything, both good and bad. The singer refers to themselves as an "animal," a "victim," and a "monster under stairs," representing the different parts of themselves that they struggle with. They also mention being a witness and a witch hunt, suggesting that they have been both the accuser and accused at different times. The line "I'm the ghost that's in the mirror" indicates that the singer may not recognize themselves anymore, haunted by their past and their mistakes. Yet despite all this, they are still holding on and trying to find meaning in their life.
Throughout the lyrics, there is a sense of desperation and hopelessness, illustrated by lines such as "Still can't taste it" and "Brought me to my knee." The repetition of "I've seen it all" emphasizes the singer's feelings of being exhausted and drained from their experiences. However, there is also a sense of determination and resilience, as they declare "Now inside I'm seeing" and "I'm the broken one who fixed it." Despite their struggles and mistakes, they are still fighting to move forward and find meaning in their life.
Overall, "Seen It All" is a powerful and emotional song that explores universal themes of struggle, pain, and resilience. It shows that even when we feel like we have seen and experienced everything, there is still hope and the possibility of healing and growth.

Fucked up wasted
Damaged and ruined due to addiction or self-destructive behavior
Still in my blood

Now inside I'm seeing
I am finally recognizing and understanding the truth
I'm the hunted
I am being pursued or chased
I'm the predator
I am the one doing the chasing and hunting
I'm the answer to the riddle
I hold the key to the mysterious puzzle

I am in possession of something valuable
That is broken
That is damaged and unable to be fully enjoyed
What do I have left now?
What is there left for me to hold onto?
