  One of the best "GO!"'s in all of music.

  I was 18 when this came out, this was truly the music of our generation. Now I'm 43, fighting diabetes and trying to figure out how to prepare for retirement. Life is so damn short and quick.

  The song is about KoRn putting their pain on display and how monetizing that - especially for the benefit of record companies - makes you feel like a freak on their leash at times. That necessarily begs the question: &quot;Why do it, then?&quot; This video is the answer<br><br>The bullet is trauma, unwittingly fired at kids by even well-meaning adults and ricocheting chaos and destruction through the world. It finds its way to a KoRn poster, entering their world, which has clearly received a lot of these bits of trauma. He defuses it with his music and turns it back on the world, destroying symbols of work, media, and government pressure. By the time it gets back to the girl, it&apos;s been rendered inert enough for her to simply pick it out of the air and go back to enjoying her life

  You have to watch the continuation of the video then &quot;Falling Away from Me&quot;. This song is very strong and touches on delicate things that many of us also identify with.

  The whole can&apos;t feel your face is often used to refer to many drug users as they often describe a very numb feeling in the face, especially coke addicts, which is what The Weekend song is all about

  This was Jonathan Davis portraying his teen years growing up... He was not the popular guy in school and was often bullied and called &apos;gay&apos;... He had also survived trauma and sexual abuse as a child... His parents divorced and his mom remarried a catholic and had to sign a document to get married in that church that basically declared Jonathan an &apos;illegitimate child&apos; (Catholics don&apos;t recognize divorce). &nbsp;He hated his stepmom who would apparently have cruel means to handle him (Thankfully, his dad divorced her too!) <br>Despite being a very creative individual, he was big into goth culture and became a fan of The Cure... then came the drugs and alcohol abuse. That was basically what &apos;Freak on a leash&apos; was about - that was what he felt like he was growing up. &nbsp;He was not in a good place working as an assistant in a mortuary where he worked w/ dead bodies, but he was introduced to the band L.A.P.D. in Bakersfield, California and he joined forces w/ them to form KoRn in 1993... The band&apos;s early success likely saved his life, but his struggles w/ drug abuse carried on well over decades in KoRn&apos;s career. <br><br>In fact, all 5 original members of KoRn came from similar backgrounds - broken homes... neglect... abuse... They all struggled w/ drug and alcohol addictions over the years.

  Korn is one of those bands that you really need to dive into their early stuff to get the internal message going on. Jonathan Davis had a very broken childhood to say the absolute least. He wasn&apos;t allowed to be himself and he was terribly abused. Their first couple of albums they put out dove into that pretty hard. While I highly recommend giving them a listen, strap in for a real emotional journey. These albums hold a fair number of songs that people listen to so they don&apos;t feel alone with their torment.

  From one “weird embracer” to another, loved the reaction. &nbsp;For me the bullet represents all of the criticism and personal attacks, whether they originate externally or from our inner demons. &nbsp;These bullets don’t necessarily have to be intentional attacks (the guard didn’t intend to shoot, but shit still happens), but their impact doesn’t care if it was intentional or not. &nbsp;I was labeled as a freak when I was a kid. &nbsp;The bullets seemed to come from everywhere, and came often. &nbsp;Hearing someone else sing with such visceral expressions about this was a refuge for me. &nbsp;As always, much love and thank you.
