Therapist Reacts to Falling Away From Me By KORN

All of the songs on the Follow the Leader album blend together from one to the next, so in a way the music never ends while you’re listening to the album.

Realize…we felt all these things when the album was released…just the music, no visuals. THAT’S was the 90’s and early 2000’s was like :slight_smile:

Like most ppl, I discovered Korn at a perfect time. Their music saved me. I had just left high school where I was being bullied and I had just got out of an abusive relationship with my then girlfriend who was abusive towards ME.
I wish so much I could thank the guys for helping me through and preventing me from committing suicide.

Trying to stop flirting with my demons. It’s not because of my childhood, it’s because of people in my circle who have betrayed me. I think i will never be free from what I have been through. It is something clinging to my soul, mind and my being. Korn have made it easy to say how it feels like flirting with suicide, and sometimes it kills the pain

So many bands at this time in the metal scene were bringing up the difficult topics that were still being avoided. Those that suffered found so much solace in this music and the community of people that could relate. Society saw metal heads as aggressive and often associated this music with psychopaths when actually it was often the complete opposite…Everyone seeks a way to process difficult emotions and experiences… Metal music helped get some anger out without it being directed physically towards others… music is so special

Your comment on disassociation is spot on. I have no idea who i am or ever was. Its a weird state of mind

Have you react yo Broken Home by Papa Roach?

Korn singer was abused when he was a child which is why he wrote so much about it

Sometimes, kill the pain.

It’s so weird, because I listened excessively to Korn and this song never made me emotional. But now over a decade later, with your commentary about suicidal ideation, made me cry. It took me years to realize why I “flirt with suicide”. On point explanation.

I’m 51. Korn has saved me in so many ways. I named my son Jonathan, after JD. He’s a lifesaver

I, unfortunately, experienced abuse as a child. It’s sad that so many of us have experienced that, the fact that someone we should have been able to implicitly trust was one of, if not the one, that hurt us the most. I don’t remember all of it because of disassociation.

I think one of Korn’s best music videos to analyze is also one of the least reacted on all of YouTube: “Thoughtless”…
That video helped me a lot since I also suffered a lot of bullying of that type.
GREETINGS FROM ARGENTINA.

I fell away from myself over 15 years ago and never came back and dont know how to and have been begging for help for years. So many times have i tried to end it and always came back. Now im just here but not here and dont know what to do and im scared of clouds.

IOWA is a Sonic masterpiece.

React to the song named f-a-g-g-o-t …. By Korn… it’s gonna hurt

HeartSupport You are doing important work. Thank you. Keep the torch burning!

Corn is a very powerful band. I was listening to them without understanding what are they saying about. English is not my first language, I have learned it about a year ago. And when I start listen to them again, just few weeks ago, I have been realized that my condition in the past was similar with many of their songs. I do not like to call to memory. there was violence, betrayals, alcoholism and drugs. depression, dissociative disorder, eating disorder, suicidal thoughts and failed attempts. then, 8 years of cleanliness from any substances. Now I am a grown man with a failed business due to the war in my country and i’ve has lost my family (my ex-wife left me six months ago, taking our child). The only thing I’m glad about is that all the people close to me are alive. And I don’t lose heart. I’m still not okay but this beautiful and disturbing music is worth listening to.

Author of the channel, thank you for your reactions and comments on the songs.

I wish everyone good mental and physical health. Take care of yourself.

I experienced abuse as a teenager, and these songs were so so perfect in resonating with the emotions i felt then. Not just the lyrics, the sounds. the heaviness, everything. Its now 14 years later, and listening back to them is bittersweet; there’s relief and pride and appreciation of how much this music impacted me positively back then, but it also acts as a time capsule. The minute this song comes on I can smell and feel the air around me exactly how it felt back then. It’s surreal.
