The music of Korn speaks to those on the fringes of society. The band's trademark hip-core has evolved into a more clearly defined but equally urgent musical vision. Korn's sense of musical urgency and its ambition to make its mark on music is furthered with ISSUES.
"Beg for Me" is a track likely to incite the swirling pits at the band's legendary live shows. Showing that the group hasn't lost its down-to-earth sensibility, Korn invited fans to compete for the cover art of ISSUES, releasing versions featuring the winning piece as well as the efforts of three finalists. The emotional journey undergone by vocalist Johnathan Davis on tracks like "Hey Daddy" is truly strengthened by his movement away from his more abrasive vocal style and toward a more dominantly melodic approach. Davis digs more deeply into his tortured emotions on efforts such as "No Way," where he sings: "lately things aren't going my way / lately everything is gray / it feels like something / it feels like nothing." That hazy emotional landscape is what strikes a responsive chord with Korn fans and makes ISSUES a landmark album.
Make Me Bad
I am watching your eyes
And follow 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 nothingness
In You
I feel the reason, as it's leaving me
No, not again
It's quite deceiving, as I'm feeling
The flesh made be bad
All I do is look 4 U
And when I fix you
Needed to, just to get some sort of attention
Attention
What does it mean to you
For me, it's somtehing 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 made be bad
Dirty
Keep knocking
No ones there
Pouring down
My head
By myself
All alone
Ripping my head off
I hurt so bad inside
At least you can see
The wealth in my eyes
It stays the same
I just wanna live again
Keep hoping
Nothing to spare
So my life
Isn't quite there
Feel like a whore
A dirty whore
Such a whore
Dirty
My head
By myself
All alone
Ripping my head off
I hurt so bad inside
I wish you could see
The wealth in my eyes
It stays the same
I just wanna live again (I just wanna live again)
I'll die again
I'll die again
I'll wilt again
Into you
You dirty little fuck
Dirty little fuck
You dirty little fuck
Dirty little fuck
You dirty little fuck
I will take it (dirty little fuck!)5x
I hurt so bad inside
I wish you could see
The wealth in my eyes
It stays the same
I just wanna live again (4x)
just wanna live again
(4 minutes of static till end)
