Spike In My Veins
Korn Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Falling on our faces
They don't care anyway
Anyway, now
You're the one that makes me feel like I'm alive
You're the one that pushes me all the time
All the time, now
Always fate, to do what they say
Calling me deranged
Feeling power, I must take its place some way
Never gonna run away
Seeking out the path
But the pain always gets in the way
Slowly watch me die
I'm insane, so dangerous
Don't you dare get in my way
Throwing in the towel
Got me strained, so betrayed
Get the fuck out of my way
Looking at my thoughts, I take my time
Pounding all these spikes in my veins
We are the ones reaching out in vain
Trying to solve our problems
They won't go away, go away now
You're the one that makes me feel like I'm alive
You're the one that pushes me all the time
All the time, now
We are hard and grey
Always fate to do what they say
Calling me deranged
Feeling power, I must take its place some way
Never gonna run away
Seeking out my path
But the pain always gets in the way
Slowly watch me die
I'm insane, so dangerous
Don't you dare get in my way
Throwing in the towel
Got me strained, so betrayed
Get the fuck out of my way
Looking at my thoughts, I take my time
Pounding all these spikes in my veins
Pounding all these spikes in my veins
Pounding all these spikes in my veins
Pounding all these spikes in my veins
Never gonna run away
Seeking out my path
But the pain always gets in the way
Slowly watch me die
I'm insane, so dangerous
Don't you dare get in my way
Throwing in the towel
Got me strained, so betrayed
Get the fuck out of my way
Looking at my thoughts, I take my time
Pounding all these spikes in my veins
Pounding all these spikes in my veins
Pounding all these spikes in my veins
Pounding all these spikes in my veins
Pounding all these spikes in my veins
Pounding all these spikes in my veins
Looking at my thoughts, I take my time
Pounding all these spikes in my veins
The lyrics to Korn's "Spike In My Veins" describe a feeling of disillusionment and desperation in the face of societal pressures and expectations. The opening lines suggest that the singer and their peers are the ones who bear the brunt of the pain and struggles in life, while those in power and authority do not care. The chorus then shifts to a more personal focus, with the singer addressing a particular person who makes them feel alive but also pushes them to their limits.
The second verse returns to a more societal critique, with the singer describing how they and others are expected to conform and follow the rules, even as they are considered "deranged" for not fitting in. The pain of this pressure is emphasized again, as the singer declares that it "always gets in the way" of their attempts to find their own path. The repeated lyrics about putting "spikes in my veins" can be interpreted in multiple ways, perhaps as a reference to drug use or as a metaphor for literal self-harm. Regardless, the intense repetition of this phrase and the overall aggressive tone of the song suggest a deep frustration and anger.
Overall, "Spike In My Veins" can be seen as a commentary on the suffocating nature of conformity and the power dynamics that exist within society. The singer is caught between a desire for individuality and a need for connection, but finds themselves constantly battling against those who hold the reins of power.
Line by Line Meaning
We are the ones taking all the pain
We are the group of people who bear all the sorrow and grief
Falling on our faces
We are constantly failing and facing defeat
They don’t care anyway
The people around us are oblivious to our struggles
You’re the one that makes me feel like I’m alive
You are the person who brings life and vitality to my otherwise mundane existence
You’re the one that pushes me all the time
You are the driving force behind my progress and success
We are hard and grey
As a group, we are stoic and emotionless
Always praised to do what they say
We are constantly lauded for following orders and blindly obeying authority
Calling me deranged
People think I'm crazy
Feeling power, I must take its place some way
I crave power and will do whatever it takes to seize it
Never gonna run away
I will never back down from a challenge
Seeking out the path
I am in search of my destiny
But the pain always gets in the way
However, the agony and discomfort always hinder my progress
Slowly watch me die
I am slowly dying inside, consumed by my inner demons
I’m insane, so dangerous
I am mentally unstable and pose a threat to others
Don’t you dare get in my way
You shouldn't interfere with my plans or you'll face the consequences
Throwing in the towel
I'm giving up and surrendering to my inner turmoil
Got me strained, so betrayed
I am feeling overwhelmed and deceived
Get the fuck out of my way
Get out of my way and let me do what I want
Looking at my thoughts, I take my time
I introspect and contemplate my innermost thoughts
Pounding all these spikes in my veins
I am addicted to drugs, and I am injecting them into my veins to numb the pain
We are the ones reaching out in vain
We are attempting to solve our problems, but our efforts are futile
Trying to solve our problems
We are attempting to fix everything that's wrong in our lives
They won’t go away, go away now
Despite our numerous attempts, our issues persist
