Counting On Me

The first time I listened to the "Take a Look in the Mirror" album I didn't even notice this song. Then after a few more times of listening to the CD I realized that I really, really liked this song. It's like once I started to actually pay attention to the lyrics I could understand EXACTLY what this guy was talking about. In the chorus I think basically what he is talking about is a bad relationship in which someone is co-dependent upon him. The woman in the relationship expects him to always be at her beck and call but in return she gives nothing back to him. This situation is literally destroying him from within (i.e. "you suck the life out of me). I think this is a song a lot of people in "one-sided" relationships can relate to. For me this ties with "Right Now" as the best track on the album.

The obvious meaning for this is a sour realtionship. But after hearing it a few times I got a new meaning out of it. I think this song is in a way about the fans. A lot of kids who are drawn to Korn most likely feel SOME kind of rage, emotional distress, ect, ect. I think some fans expect them to keeping writing and singing songs about how they feel and issues they go thru, but here he's saying "You need to solve your own issues. I'm not gonna be here forever."

Great song, my fave off of TALITM so far... This song seems pretty much obvious to what it's about, yet it can have different meanings to different people... in a way I think that yeah, it could very well be about the fan issues they have been seeming to have, with all the 'KoRn sucks now' bs.. but I find it to be about a relationship with someone who is basically dependent and never seems to be satisfied with you, yet you always try to be there for them when they need you but then you realize that nothing you can do will ever please them.

to me this song simblizes someone who constantly uses you yet is never happy with anything you do ( much life what runawayintheend and heirophant said in there articles above mine) this then leds the person to fucking hate the person whose putting them though this shit.

i totaly agree with disturbedone . the lyrics speak for themselves.

i love this song!! one of my favs... Korn is my All Time Fav Band!! they rock!! this song is sooo amazing... i would have to agree with you too disturbedone

i think of a couple of GFs ago, when this girl got with me to piss off her ex-dude. and when the girl before her cried on my shoulders forever. we were on and off. she was slutty and always asked me "why do people treat me like trash?"

now..heirophant iz right..the fans..keep a lot of pressure on Jon ,,without realizing that he has a personal life..all that ..created a hate deep inside jon that reflects into his lyrics....KoRn ownz'ya!!!!

MAn, I was in a relationship just like that. I hated that chick, but I couldn't leave. She was a sad type, and I was always there for her, but when it was my turn, she was gone. A badass song.

I love this song, Munk and Head's guitars kick ass in the chorus.
