Korn - Issues Lyrics






Dead

All I want in life is to be happy (happy).
It seems funny to me.
How f*cked things can be.
Everytime I get head.
I feel more dead.

Falling Away From Me

Hey, I'm feeling tired
My time has gone today
You flirt with suicide
Sometimes that's okay
Do what others say
I'm here standing hollow
Falling away from me
Falling away from me

Day is here fading
That's when I'm insane
I flirt with suicide
Sometimes kill the pain
I can't always say
"It's gonna be better tomorrow"
Falling away from me
Falling away from me

Beating me down
Beating me, beating me down, down
Into the ground
Screaming some sound
Beating me, beating me down, down
Into the ground

Falling away from me
It's spinning round and round
Falling away from me
It's lost and can't be found
Falling away from me
It's spinning round and round
Falling away from me
Throw it down

Beating me down
Beating me, beating me down, down
Into the ground
Screaming some sound
Beating me, beating me down, down
Into the ground

Twisting me
They won't go away
So I pray
Go away

Life's falling away from me
It's falling away from me
Life's falling away from me
F*ck

Beating me down
Beating me, beating me down, down
Into the ground
Screaming some sound
Beating me, beating me down, down
Into the ground

(Falling away from me) Beating me down
Beating me, beating me down, down (falling away from me)
Into the ground
(Falling away from me) Screaming some sound
Beating me, beating me down, down (falling away from me)
Into the ground

Trash

How did it start?
Well, I dont 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 god damn
exhilarated.
I feel 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 f*ck 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 f*cking cold?
I dont 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 f*ck with me.
Why do I have this torment?
All I want to do is f*ck 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 f*ck 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 just throw you away.
I just throw you away.
I just throw you away.
I just throw you away.

For You

This shit right here is for you.
On your faces I can see.
You all think it's up on me.
I'm about to break.
This is my fate?
Am I still doomed to a life?
Of misery and hate.

You would have never known.
What I've done for you.
What you may put me through.
I'd do it for you.
I could have never lived.
If it wasn't for you.

Beg For Me

Everyone is looking at me.
I can't get out of bed.
There is evil in my head.
Everyone just let me be.
Because when I hit the stage.
It is gone and I am free.
Goddam you say you'll get up for me.
You're the crowd, come on give it back to me.
You won't beg for me, beg for me, beg for me.

Goddam you say you'll get up with me.
You're the crowd, come on give it back to me.
You won't beg for me, be there for me, beg for me.

Tell me, how could this fade?
I am going in shame.
And I could not have my pain.
Everyone please let me be.
Because when I hit the stage
It is gone and I am free.

Goddam you say you'll get up with me.
You're the crowd, come on give it back to me.
You won't beg for me, beg for me, beg for me.

Goddam you say you'll get up with me.
You're the crowd, come on give it back to me.
You won't beg for me, be there for me, beg for me.

I feel the shame.
I'm not insane.
The things I feel now.
Arent the same.
Who gives a f*ck..
If my life sucks?
I just know one day.
I won't give up.

Everyone just let me be.

Goddam you say you'll get up with me.
You're the crowd, come on give it back to me.
You won't beg for me, beg for me, beg for me.

Goddam you say you'll get up with me.
You're the crowd, come on give it back to me.
You won't beg for me, be there for me, beg for me.

Be there, for me.

Make Me Bad

I am watching the rise
And fall of my salvation
There's so much shit around me
Such a lack of compassion

I thought it would be fun and games
(It would be fun and games)
Instead it's all the same
(It's all the same)
I want something to do
Need to feel the sickness in you

I feel the reason
As it's leaving me
No, not again
It's quite deceiving
As I'm feeling
The flesh make me bad

All I do is look for you
And when I fix you needed to
Just to get some sort of attention
Attention

What does it mean to you?
(What does it mean to you?)
For me, it's something I just do (I just do)
I want something
I need to feel the sickness in you

I feel the reason
As it's leaving me
No, not again
It's quite deceiving
As I'm feeling
The flesh make me bad

I feel the reason
As it's leaving me
No, not again
It's quite deceiving
As I'm feeling
The flesh make me bad

I feel the reason
As it's leaving me
No, not again
It's quite deceiving
As I'm feeling
The flesh make me bad (does it make me bad?)

I feel the reason
As it's leaving me
No, not again (does it make me bad?)
It's quite deceiving
As I'm feeling
The flesh make me bad

(Does it make me bad?)
(Does it make me bad?)
(Does it make me bad?)

Never let it up, let it up, let it up.
Ah! Let it up.
I dont want this to go away (Go away).
I'm so scared (Going away).

Hey Daddy

Let me see (let me see).
How my life has been (taken).
Taken.
This demon (haunts me).
Haunts me.
They're waiting (help me).
Help me.
You f*ck me up.
I'm gagged and bound.
You pick me up when I am down.
I can not live without them.
I do not live without them.

Hey, daddy (Daddy).
They are taking me (away).
Biting.
Facing him (my soul).
My soul.
They're eating.
Please help me.

You f*ck me up.
I'm gagged and bound.
You pick me up when I am down.
I can not live without them.
I do not live without them.

They say this thing inside of me.
Wants to get out.
All it does is scream and shout.
I'm trying not to let them out.
They tell me to hurt myself.
They tell me to hurt myself.
They tell me to hurt myself.
But I'm not going to listen.

You f*ck me up.
I'm gagged and bound.
You pick me up when I am down.

I do not live without them.

Somebody Someone

I can't stand to let you win
I'm just watching you
And I don't know what to do
Feeling like a fool inside
Feeling all the love you hide
Thought you were my friend
Seems it never ends

I need somebody, someone
Can't somebody help me?
All I need is to be
Loved just for me

Giving you with this and that
Giving gave nothing back
It's all related to
All the things I do
Feeling like a fool inside
Seeing all the things you tried
I am nothing

I need somebody, someone
Can't somebody help me?
All I need is to be
Loved just for me

I look, I sign
I need someone
Inside to help me out
With what?
I'm trying, I'm crying, I'm prying
In a pile of shit
I'm dying, I'm dying
I'm dying

I need somebody (someone)
Somebody (somebody)
Someone
I need somebody (someone)
Somebody (somebody)

No Way

Lately things won't go my way.
Lately everything is grey.
It feels like something.
It feels like.. nothing
So I came too far.
To end up this way.
Feeling like I'm god.
Feeling there's no way.

So I came too far.
To end up this way.
Feeling like I'm god.
Feeling there's no way.

So I'm angry for today.
Anger's the only thing I've made.
It feels like something.
No it's.. nothing.

So I came too far.
To end up this way.
Feeling like I'm god.
Feeling there's no way.

To live this way.

Hating, feeling, falling to the
Place where people haunt me I can't
Help but keep from falling to the
Place where people call me I can't
Wait to give them these feelings of hating.
Deep down inside me for all to take.
picking at me.
They're ripping at me.
Ripping at me.

So I came too far.
To end up this way.
Feeling like I'm god.
Feeling there's no way.

(Hating, feeling, falling to the
Place where people haunt me I can't
Help but keep from falling to the

Lets Get This Party Started

A man is crying, takes me to a certain place.
Which I don't often find.
You see a family walking.
Always thinking of being somewhere else in
time.
So I fall face down in a rut.
I can't seem to get out of.
Please wake me.
Please give me some of it back.
The feelings I had.

Sometimes I wish I could be strong like you
. It doesn't matter.
Each time I wake I'm somehow feeling the truth.
I can't handle.

Let's get this party started.
I'm sick of being you.
You make me feel insane.
We don't give to you.
Let's get this party started.
You make me feel insane.
I want to be the one.
To make myself sane.

Time is ticking, it makes me feel content.
With what I have inside.
Constant paranoia surrounds me.
Everyone I see is out to get me.

So I fall face down in a rut.
I can't seem to get out of.
Please wake me.
Please give me some of it back.
The feelings I had.

Sometimes I wish I could be strong like you.
It doesn't matter.
Each time I wake I'm somehow feeling the truth.
I can't handle.

Let's get this party started.
I'm sick of being you.
You make me feel insane.
We don't give to you.

To make myself sane.

You make me feel insane.
You make me feel insane.

Sometimes I wish I could be strong like you.
It doesn't matter.
Each time I wake I'm somehow feeling the truth.

Wish You Could Be Me

I am going insane.
This shit is all about pain.
I cannot retain as the shit oozes out my brain.
I wish you could be me.
And then as you would see.
How tired I am.
And how she kept the best of me.
At least you could look at me.
While you are raping me.
You are taking my life.
And sellin it tee hee.
Why should I complain.
At least it helps my pain.
I am very cool now.
And it doesn't blot my fame.
I am going insane.
This shit is all about pain.
I cannot retain as the shit oozes out my brain.
Wish you could be me.

Counting

I can't bare to face what's growing in my head.
Please get away from me.
Take advantage of what I still guess you do.
One day you'll pay for me.
So I'm saying nothing.
Each day taking that much more.
As I'm screaming all my pain.
You will be there counting.

You just see me as something you throw around.
you weren't there for me (there for me).
Beating down to the ground, yes it always
seems.
You take more from me (from me).

So I'm saying nothing.
Each day taking that much more.
As I'm screaming all my pain.
You will be there counting.

It's funny how we get started.
They get their money from the things on you.
They get your money and the girls and the fame.
I only do it for the fun.
That's my game.

So I'm saying nothing.
Each day taking that much more.
As I'm screaming all my pain.
You will be there counting.

Dirty

Keep knocking.
No one's there.
Pouring down.
Near be felt.
I'm out here, by myself.
All alone.
Ready to blow my head off.
I hurt so bad inside.
I wish you could see the world through my eyes.
Each day is the same
I just wanna laugh again.

Keep hoping.
Nothing to spare.
So my life.
Isn't quite there.
Feel like a whore.
A dirty whore.
Such a whore.
Dirty.

I'm out here, by myself.

Back to: Korn


Issues is the fourth studio album by American nu metal band Korn. It was released on November 16, 1999, through Immortal Records. The album was promoted throughout 2000 by the band's highly successful Sick and Twisted Tour.

During one of the band's recording sessions, journalist Chris Connelly asked about how the recording was coming along, to which drummer David Silveria responded that it "Sounds like the music is a little more simplified and heavier. Kind of heavier grooves, more than the last couple. So kind of more similar to the beginning, except Jon is a much better singer now, so it's all coming together."

In October 1999, Korn posted "Falling Away from Me" on their website as a free MP3 download, although it was against the advice of its attorneys. A statement on the band's site relates: "We're so psyched about [the new album] that we wanted to give all you guys, the true Korn fans — a gift from us." Also at this time, the band attempted to start an online chain email, by posting the letter online and asking fans to email the letter to 10 other people and to then sign the "I Downloaded the Korn Single for Free" guestbook on the band's site. For each person who signed, Korn donated 25 cents to the charities Childhelp USA and Children of the Night. It raised over $250,000.

The album featured four different covers each designed by Korn fans as part of an MTV contest (the winning cover, submitted in a pizza box, was designed by Alfredo Carlos; another album cover for special limited edition of the album features a cartoonish half-caricature for the band). There was also a fifth cover selected for the limited tour edition of the album.

In 2021, it was named one of the 20 best metal albums of 1999 by Metal Hammer magazine.
