| KoЯn – Souvenir Lyrics | 20 years ago |

You are a revoltingly disturbed individual. In reality, members of KoRn may have experienced the "dirty uncle" paying one too many visits, but some doubt even that. If it were just a ruse, then I doubt they'd admit it, but the point is that there is some angst behind the words. One thing is certain: their childhood sucked, and Jonathan Davis was definitely mistreated by his parents. Now, let's clean up our brains and mouths and actually think about the song, hmm? Ironically, the guy who praised himself so highly about getting correct lyrics has a few mistakes... I never knew what I was gonna be somebody saw what I couldn't see and lifted me up now I never thought I could be worthy of lovin under the sky above Don't let the wonderful(?) Why does everybody have to fit in you should feel comfortable in the skin Does that mean I am the... (Fairly self-explanatory.) Souvenir of sadness Method to the madness Hands up if you feel this Anyone who has this (I know I'm not the only one...) Stand up! Nobody's dying to save you Speak up! Nobody's waiting to see you Wake up! Nobody's working to pay you Let me make it clear you have this (Stand up and be counted; nobody is going to do it for you. I will be the champion for our battered existences. Let me make it clear to the world that we have suffered.) Back then: Nobody new in the schoolyard Now then: You're grown up to be this hard Go then: Walk through this world with your heart scarred You're the souvenir of sadness (You've walked with it all your life. Be proud that you're the bearer of pain and don't deny your past. YOU can be the champion; you don't need me for that.) They never knew what I was gonna say punch me and kick me and drown Away you know who you are so Now look at me what do you have to say never cared much for you Anyway you know who you are so Now look at me what do you have to say never cared much for you We're happy childhood backlash (You schoolyard kids bullied me around because I was weird. Well, look who's made it big now by making songs out of his sadness? ME!) Seems like a fairly simple song to me... it's rallying those with crappy childhoods together and then empowering them to take charge of their lives, show those bullies that they were wrong to pick on the weird kids. Anyone (besides "be") got something different? |

| KoЯn – Twisted Transistor Lyrics | 20 years ago |

Aside from the unnecessary pissing contest going on here, you guys are analyzing almost entirely incorrect lyrics. Here's the real story, along with WHY it makes sense: Hey you, hey you, Devil's little sister Listening to your Twisted Transistor Hold it between your legs Turn it up, turn it up The wind is coming through Can't get enough (Masturbating with either music or a vibrator, doesn't really matter.) A lonely life, where no one understands you But don't give up, because the music do Music do [x6] (Take refuge in your music because it's as weird as you are... ironic that this song is a bit weird, too, no?) Because the music do And then it's reaching Inside you forever preaching Fuck you too Your scream's a whisper Hang on you Twisted Transistor (Orgasm, basically, from the vibrating device that "understands" you.) Hey you, hey you, finally you get it The world ain't fair, eat you if you let it And as your tears fall on Your breast, your dress Vibrations coming through You're in a mess (You're ugly, and this is probably the only action you're going to get. Every time you come, you cry because you know that nobody wants you for real. Double meaning from ejaculation being messy for some girls.) A lonely life, where no one understands you But don't give up, because the music do Music do [x6] Because the music do And then it's reaching Inside you forever preaching Fuck you too Your scream's a whisper Hang on you Twisted Transistor Music do [x4] Hey you, hey you, this won't hurt a bit This won't hurt a bit, this won't hurt Says who? Says who? Anesthetize this bitch Anesthetize this bitch, anesthetize! Just let me be Between you and me don't fit (A large "object" is going inside you now, and we'll dope you so that you don't feel it. Speculation: You're being mistreated because of your lack of options and subsequently low self-esteem... should have stayed with the "music" instead.) Because the music do And then it's reaching Inside you forever preaching Fuck you too Your scream's a whisper Hang on you Twisted Transistor It's actually a pretty awful message, but the song is too catchy to hate outright. I'd be willing to venture that most of the songs on this album are about sex, and this one definitely is. |
