What We Do
Korn Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can't take this
All my life is wreckless
All our lives our dangerous
But we fake our way through
That's what we do

Sometimes things don't go away
In turn you just run away
It's all coming back for you
Betrayed, life is in decay
Your thoughts you cannot obey
Right now, what cha gonna do?

I can't help this going down

I can't take this
All my life is wreckless
All our lives our dangerous
But we fake our way through
That's what we do

We do, we do, we do, we do,
We do, we do, we do, we do, we do

I hear the calling of the helpless stranger
He's all alone and no one hears his anger
I feel his pain every time I'm here with you
With you
All the heartache and the fucked up insults
I find you begging on your knees, I figured
This is how it's supposed to be with you
With you

I can't wait for your life to be broken down
I gave you hate

Ah!

I can't take this
All my life is wreckless
All our lives our dangerous
But we fake our way through
That's what we do
I can't take this
All my life is wreckless
All our lives our dangerous
But we fake our way through

That's what we do

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "What We Do" by Korn revolve around the themes of love, betrayal, and desperation. The song reflects on the complicated and sometimes destructive nature of relationships. The opening verse suggests frustration in communication, the difficulty of expressing thoughts and emotions to another person. The following verse indicates the consequences of unreciprocated love and how it can lead to a recklessness that characterizes life. The chorus then reinforces this idea of faking their way through life, suggesting that the characters are struggling to find a genuine connection that has been lost amidst their struggles and their inability to communicate.

The last verse of the song shifts the focus to a helpless stranger, which could represent the other side of these relationships that the singers are in. Through the stranger's situation, they understand the pain and desperation that their own partner could be feeling, even if they do not understand this in the moment. The repetition of the chorus at the end emphasizes that this cycle will continue, with each partner faking their way through life despite the pain that they may be causing each other.

Overall, "What We Do" by Korn is a poignant reflection of the struggles within relationships, and the self-destructive tendencies that can emerge in response to feelings of love and loss.

Иногда что-то встает на пути
Мои мысли, которые я не могу передать
Все это указывает прямо на тебя
Мы ненавидим любить каждый день
Наши жизни закрутились во всех отношениях
Я возвращаю тебе все это обратно

Я ничего не могу поделать с тем, что это происходит

Я не могу этого вынести
Вся моя жизнь безжизненна
Вся наша жизнь, наша опасная
Но мы притворяемся, что пробиваемся сквозь
Это то, что мы делаем

Иногда вещи никуда не уходят
В свою очередь, ты просто убегаешь
Все это возвращается к тебе
Преданный, жизнь приходит в упадок
Своим мыслям вы не можете повиноваться
Прямо сейчас, что ты собираешься делать?

Я ничего не могу поделать с тем, что это происходит

Я не могу этого вынести
Вся моя жизнь безжизненна
Вся наша жизнь, наша опасная
Но мы притворяемся, что пробиваемся сквозь
Это то, что мы делаем

Мы делаем, мы делаем, мы делаем, мы делаем,
Мы делаем, мы делаем, мы делаем, мы делаем, мы делаем

Я слышу зов беспомощного незнакомца
Он совсем один, и никто не слышит его гнева
Я чувствую его боль каждый раз, когда я здесь с тобой
С тобой
Вся эта душевная боль и гребаные оскорбления
Я обнаружил, что ты умоляешь на коленях, я подумал
Вот как это должно быть с тобой
С тобой

Я не могу дождаться, когда твоя жизнь будет разрушена
Я подарил тебе ненависть

Ах!

Я не могу этого вынести
Вся моя жизнь безжизненна
Вся наша жизнь, наша опасная
Но мы притворяемся, что пробиваемся сквозь
Это то, что мы делаем
Я не могу этого вынести
Вся моя жизнь безжизненна
Вся наша жизнь, наша опасная
Но мы притворяемся, что пробиваемся сквозь

Это то, что мы делаем
