It's On
Korn [Follow the Leader] Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Come on!

Save some for me, it's what I like.
I wanna play, you know it's time.
Something is calling, I can't keep from falling.

Come on!
It's on!

You'll see it's my fault, angels stabbing me inside.
Nothing changes, just rearranges, for me this time.

Once I give in, what can I fight?
I can never win, my self I don't like,
I don't like, I don't like, I don't like.
Something is calling, I can't keep from falling.

Come on!
It's on!

You'll see it's my fault, angels stabbing me inside.
Nothing changes, just rearranges, for me this time.

This time.
This, time.

Pull me inside.
Put me inside.
Hold me this time.
Put me inside.

Come on!
It's on!

Come on!
It's on!

Come on!
It's on!

Come on!
Come on!





IT'S ON!

Overall Meaning

The song "It's On" by Korn from their album "Follow the Leader" is a hard-rocking and emotionally charged track that encapsulates the pain and struggle of the singer who is fighting against his own demons. The opening lines "Save some for me, it's what I like. I wanna play, you know it's time. Something is calling, I can't keep from falling." express the singer's desire to give in to his inner demons and indulge in his dark desires. The chorus "Come on! It's on!" further fuels his desire and pushes him into a state of recklessness and abandon.


The lyrics in the second stanza, "Once I give in, what can I fight? I can never win, my self, I don't like, I don't like, I don't like," express the singer's realization that he is trapped in his own destructive cycle and can't overcome his inner demons. He is constantly being pierced by the "angels stabbing me inside" which could be a reference to his own guilt and self-hatred. The repetition of the phrase "This time" adds a sense of urgency to the song, accentuating that this moment is a tipping point for the singer.


Overall, "It's On" is a powerful song that conveys the struggle of the singer against his own darkness. It deals with themes of guilt, self-hatred, addiction and the power of temptation.

Lyrics:
Come on
Save some for me
It's what I like
I wanna play
You know it's time
Something is calling
I can't keep from falling
Come on
It's on
You see it's my fault
Angels stabbing me inside
Nothing changes, just rearranges
For me this time
Once I cave in
What can I fight?
I can never win
Myself I don't like
I don't like, I don't like, I don't like
Something is calling
I can't keep falling
Come on
It's on
You see it's my fault
Angels stabbing me inside
Nothing changes, just rearranges
For me this time
This time
This time
For me inside
Put me inside
Hold me this time
Put me inside
Come on
It's on
Come on
It's on
Come on
It's on
Come on
Come on
It's on

This song brings back good memories seeing Korn in concert in this song was playing right before they hit the stage.

@alarak2159

Wished I saw them during the 90s. Only managed to see them first by 2011(?) - still, absolutely brilliant.

@ChillingWithMel22

@@alarak2159 Everytime I saw them it was awesome. I’ve seen Korn a total of four times in concert.
