Trash
Korn Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

How did it start? Well, I don't know
I just feel the craving
I see the flesh and it smells fresh
And it's just there for the taking

These little girls
They make me feel so goddamn exhilarated
I fill them up, I can't give it up
The pain that I'm just erasing

I tell my lies and I despise every second I'm with you
So I run away and you still stay
So what the fuck is with you?

Your feelings, I can't help but rape them
I'm sorry, I don't feel the same
My heart inside is constantly hating
I'm sorry, I just throw you away

I don't know why I'm so fucking cold
I don't know why it hurts me
All I wanna do is get with you
And make the pain go away

Why do I have a conscience?
All it does is fuck with me
Why do I have this torment?
All I wanna do is fuck it away

I tell my lies and I despise every second I'm with you
So I run away and you still stay
So what the fuck is with you?

Your feelings, I can't help but rape them
I'm sorry, I don't feel the same
My heart inside is constantly hating
I'm sorry, I just throw you away

I tell my lies and I despise every second I'm with you
I run away and you still stay
So what the fuck is with you?

Your feelings, I can't help but rape them
I'm sorry, I don't feel the same
My heart inside is constantly hating
I'm sorry, I just throw you away (I hate)

(I) just thrown you away
(I) just thrown you away




(I) just thrown you away
(I) just thrown you away

Overall Meaning

The song "Trash" by Korn is a dark and disturbing depiction of addiction, lust, and the power dynamics of relationships. The lyrics paint a very unsettling picture of the singer's thoughts and actions towards young girls. The song is a confessional, with the singer admitting to being driven by an uncontrollable craving for flesh, which he finds exhilarating. The line "And it's just there for the taking" highlights the singer's complete lack of regard for the girls' feelings or well-being. He uses them to satisfy his own desires and then throws them away.


Throughout the song, the singer expresses his hatred and contempt for the girls he preys upon. He admits to lying to them and despising every second he's with them, yet they continue to stay with him. This speaks to the power dynamic at play, with the singer holding all the control and the girls seemingly powerless against his advances. The line "Your feelings, I can't help but rape them" is particularly disturbing, as it implies a complete disregard for consent and a willingness to inflict emotional harm.


The chorus of the song is particularly powerful, with the singer apologizing for his actions but ultimately admitting that he will continue to behave in the same way. The repetition of the line "I just throw you away" highlights the singer's callousness and lack of empathy.


Overall, "Trash" is a haunting and disturbing song that highlights the dark side of addiction and the harm it can cause to others.
