In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
I hide, but only to defy you. Take away the only love inside you.
I'll see your face through everyone, inside I've just begun.
You think I'm out to scare you? I'm only out to prepare you.
For when you stop and turn around - your body's going down.
You're gonna waste your time. Your life will soon be mine.
You're definitely one of a kind. You're suffering because of me.
Is divine.
Tell me, why you never liked me? Tell me, once that you'll fight me
Bold, and you wait for the perfect time,
to take what's rightly mine.
You pave the dumb, don't bother me. You say your dumb that to defy me. You wait, you're dumber than anyone.
Oh well....
You're gonna waste your time. Your life will soon be mine.
You're definitely one of a kind. You're suffering because of me.
It's divine.
Fuck you! I'm fed up with you. I'm not as good as you?
Fuck no, I'm better than you. 8X
You're gonna waste your time. Your life will soon be mine.
You're definitely one of a kind. You're suffering because of me.
It's divine.
Did you really think you'd beat me at my own game?
You tried, you see what you got, me ripping at your brain.
I'll see your face through everyone, inside I've just begun.
You think I'm out to scare you? I'm only out to prepare you.
For when you stop and turn around - your body's going down.
You're gonna waste your time. Your life will soon be mine.
You're definitely one of a kind. You're suffering because of me.
Is divine.
Tell me, why you never liked me? Tell me, once that you'll fight me
Bold, and you wait for the perfect time,
to take what's rightly mine.
You pave the dumb, don't bother me. You say your dumb that to defy me. You wait, you're dumber than anyone.
Oh well....
You're gonna waste your time. Your life will soon be mine.
You're definitely one of a kind. You're suffering because of me.
It's divine.
Fuck you! I'm fed up with you. I'm not as good as you?
Fuck no, I'm better than you. 8X
You're gonna waste your time. Your life will soon be mine.
You're definitely one of a kind. You're suffering because of me.
It's divine.
Did you really think you'd beat me at my own game?
You tried, you see what you got, me ripping at your brain.

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him.
There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

Page

Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
This song refers to a girl Jon really liked but she didn't give a shit about him and then one day Jon was done with her and said fuck it, and then she realized what kind of person she had just given up and she tried to get Jon to go with her but he decided to show her how it feels to want something that you can't have and to show her that he isn't a puppet that can be picked up and thrown down at he will.
I love this song, this is one of my favorites of KoRn! KoRn kicks major ass, and Untouchables is an awesome Cd go out and buy it!!!!
yeah i'm definetly going to do what jon did from now on... it does work!
if i remember from some interviews with john davis he said the first album is mostly about him growing up and how he was an outcast and this song shows what he merely wished he could do, because everyone was "afraid" of him or avoided him this didnt physically manifest itself
its like a deep dark insight into all the teenage angst and hatred john davis had in school and looking at it that way can make him seem creepy, sadistic, or flat out sick, but the truth is its a real emotion, wanting another to suffer because you were wronged in some way is a very real feeling many people experience and John Davis is even more godlike for putting that out there
also the self titled was a very extremely daring album to have out for the first album, because songs like divine clown and daddy are among the darkest songs john davis ever wrote in my opinion and issues is a very dark album but to me just cant compare to the self titled and i say daring about the album because many americans despise such ideas as those and prefer to just "sweep it under the rug" then deal with the darker parts of life
Thank you John Davis, you didnt eliminate the outcast's but you gave them hope, in a dark and understanding way, something we needed
I really like Jon's attitude. It hapened to me and I did the same.
My interpretation: It's about a social predator who, through spite and sarcasm, torments and irritates another person. The victim tries to retaliate, but the predator is sly and hard-headed to the point where the victim is so overcome that he eventually becomes a slave to the predator. Eventually, the victim also becomes so upset that he isolates himself from others.
This is one of my top three koRn songs. It's about not giving a fuck about what someone else thinks about you.
I agree I used to listen to this in 90's before my soccer games to get amp up!!!@bytheway
This korn song is really good!... its about having someone u really like.. and them not loving u back!! and then when they realize they do like u! .. the best thing to say to them .. is FUCK OFF!!!!
Its about how people love to watch other people suffer by the hands of them. You're suffering because of me, Is divine.....

"Fuck you! I'm fed up with you. I'm not as good as you? Fuck no, I'm better than you"
