Korn Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But don't give up your instincts
Hang onto you know what
They'll be gone fast as you blink
They're trained to seduce you
Suck you dry quickly as they can
They bite down, reduce you
Oh my God
How could you deny the flood
That's flowing through you?
Hey you
You're saying that she's all that you desire, liar
Hey you
You think you can throw water on this fire, liar
It's not wrong to let go
And let the woman ride you
For fuck sake, don't lose touch
With the dog that's inside you
She wanted what you had
You bet she smelt the spore
Don't wimp up, fuck her up
One more time, slam that door
Oh my God
How could you deny the flood
That's flowing through you?
Hey you
You're saying that she's all that you desire, liar
Hey you
You think you can throw water on this fire, liar
Oh my God
How could you deny the flood
That's flowing through you?
Hey you
You're saying that she's all that you desire, liar
Hey you
You think you can throw water on this fire, liar
Liar
Liar

Oh my God
How could you deny the flood
That's flowing through you?
The lyrics to Korn's song Liar talk about a man who is being seduced by a woman and is on the verge of giving up his instincts. The song starts with the lyrics "My brother, you love her, but don't give up your instincts, hang onto you know what, they'll be gone fast as you blink." These lines advise the man to hold onto his instincts as the woman he desires is trained to seduce him and suck him dry, reducing him to a barely recognisable man. The song urges the man to not lose touch with the dog that's inside him and slam the door on the woman who is after his desires.
The chorus of the song is a plea to the man to not deny the flood that's flowing through him and calling him a liar for saying that the woman is all he desires. The song warns against throwing water on the fire and denying what is natural to him. The lyrics "It's not wrong to let go and let the woman ride you. For fuck sake, don't lose touch with the dog that's inside you" encourages the man to let the woman ride him but not lose touch with his instincts and inner voice.
