This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Ring around the rosies
Pocket full of posies
Ashes, ashes, we all fall down
Nursery rhymes are said, verses in my head
Into my childhood they're spoonfed
Hidden violence revealed, darkness that seems real
Look at the pages that cause all this evil
One, two, buckle my shoe
Three, four, shut the door
Five, six, pick up sticks
Seven, eight, lay them straight
London bridge is falling down, falling down, falling down
London bridge is falling down, my fair lady
Chorus
Nick nack paddy wack, give a dog a bone
This old man came rolling home
Mary had a little lamb who's fleece was white as snow
Mary had a little lamb who's fleece was white as snow
(Baa baa black sheep have you any wool)
Mary had a little lamb who's fleece was white as snow
(Yes sir, yes sir, three bags full)
Mary had a little lamb who's fleece was white as snow
(Baa baa black sheep have you any wool)
Mary had a little lamb
(Yes sir, yes sir, three bags full)
Ring around the rosies

Ashes, ashes, we all fall down

London bridge is falling down, falling down, falling down

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,

“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
Nursery Rhymes that kids sing and think they are really nice songs... but their about fucked up nasty shit and have hidden meaningss.
Jonathan Davis wrote this song because of all the nursery rhymes the little kids sing on the playground, they really have deeper, darker meanings, like for example, "London Bridge" is really about the Black Plague. Kids are singing them and they're all happy and they just don't know what they really mean.
ring around the rosie was about the plauge, not london bridge is falling down...london bridge was about london bridge actually starting to collapse which is why the original was moved brick by brick to nevada or arizona by some rich fucker...other than that little correction, I have to agree with king_nothing...and the drug one makes no sense at all there pal
Nursery rhymes and brutality have much in common sometimes. Look at fairy tales. They are not made for children and always feature violence and profanity. Due to these facts this song is close to brilliant. The intro is smashing.
@LordElfstone agree nursery rhymes and fairy tales were originally much darker than what we are told now ... the originals are making a big come back with older generations though.
this song took the innocence of childhood nursery rhymes and made them into a twisted track. To me this song points out, how complicated, twisted and shamefully sad childhood has become. The bagpipes are an interesting choice on this song, but work very well. good song.
@stoogie13 I like the different way you have interpreted this song ... I must admit I hadn't thought about that before, but I can definitely see the point
this song is so great, the bagpipes.. are so awesome
yeah...korn is one of the few bands that can really rock out with bagpipes
Korn is touring with Deadsy. 2 great metal bands. What a show. I hate that I missed it when it came by here!
this song kiks, my fav song in the whole damn world!
i agree with everyone else bout the rhymes havin darker indepth meanin, and, omg, wtf, shadowman what the fuck you goin on bout coke for, u must hav sum far out mind :S
