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
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

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
