Therapist reacts to Coming Undone by Korn

[@stevenfehrenbach5343]

As a child, Korn was like my therapy band. It was like, if this guy lived an abusive childhood but could become this amazing artist and influence, maybe there was hope.

Same... Got me through a lot of bad days listening to them. My fav band by far

I've been listening to KoRn since I was a teenager, and they're still my therapy band! Don't let age keep you from connecting to good music

[@donavanantoine4576]

Fun fact, Coming Undone was written to go along with We Will Rock You. They even do a chorus of it when playing Coming Undone live.

[@bluddwyer789]

OMG I never actually put that together, I've seen them live 4 times and I always thought it was cool af when they did that haha

One year at Louder than Life when Korn performed they were playing this and then they changed it to We Will Rock You and then they switched it back flawlessly

[@JMulvy]

Korn has always been really good at turning these really tough subjects into memorable and joyous songs. To the point where people can get away with fudging their way through the lyrics, but when you read the lyrics your mind is blown. Like you had no idea that it was so heavy.

[@NogrimStoneson]

even in in suicide the fear of failure plays a part for men, the only thing worse than doing it is fucking it up..... one day at a time guys , one day at a time.

"Alone I Break" is another song by Korn that hits deep. Definitely recommend checking that one out.

[@thebattleshell]

Am I going to leave this place? What is it that Im running from? Is there nothing more to come?

[@michaelsutherland9337]

As someone who's spent a lot of time in therapy and inpatient/outpatient programs and juvenile programs for the way I was and slightly still am I can say that korn is truly a blessing. Allowing people like me to have a release and see that my pain isn't the end of me no matter how much I tell myself I just can't do it. Being able to put your feelings to words when you're at a complete loss is something so touching to the soul.

[@SurroundedByIdgets]

Someone needs to tell her. Most metal music is pain. Struggling in life and hating life and jamming out to express that pain. Which is why metal helps so many people

[@MatthewRiley-w4d]

She knows lol

[@andrewmcallister3903]

As an Army Infantry veteran, These lyrics Sink Deep, So Strong so delicate.... We're supposed to be the toughest and strongest, winning Battles and pulling people out of the fire, but our community doesn't reach out for the help that is needed, and this results is a heartbreaking💔 amount of Veteran suicide. We place this prideful stigma on ourselves, I wish that could be Undone. There is No Shame whatsoever in being in need of some help, Iron sharpens Iron. It's only with help from others that be can be the best version of ourselves. Can't do it on your own.

[@Erika.D84]

Well said. Ex army infantry as well. (Belgium, 2003-2004. ) I' m curious, where did you deploy? What was your job, and what vehicles did you ride? If I may ask. If you do not want to talk about it, that' s fine.

[@ondramusil3764]

This song is pure gift. I've been dealing with anxiety and panic attacks for few years and I refused to find any help just because of the mentioned reasons - be strong, keep it to yourself, it will go away somehow, just try to hide it to be "a man". Man, I didn't tell my lovely girlfriend, that I'm expieriencing something and I don't know how deal with it. But then I opened to her, scared as fuck by thoughts like, She won't love me anymore, cause these things are not manly, and it means I'm weak... Surprise, surprise, she helped me to find a psychologist to go to, she supports me everytime and our relationship is beautiful. KoRn music helped me, still helps me, when bad moments come just by listening to it and it reminds me, that I'm not alone. If anyone reading this feels like I did, I have to tell you, You ARE strong and great person and if you feel like you need help, don't be afraid to ask for it.

[@AppalachianChaplin]

I will never stop coming back to watch her enjoy life as much as she does. I've said a couple times in the comments how I just struggle to anymore due to going certain routes in life, but I always get a smile seeing others enjoy things, and let's be honest, ain't no one enjoying music more than this beautiful soul of a woman. Keep on bein you, and I'm sure all of us will keep on watchin🤘👍

[@davidward9737]

​​@@AppalachianChaplinthink what you wrote was very kind, and not being a simp or crude man in anyway. Glad you have joy in watching her videos. Don't worry about a internet clown, probably depressed themselves and wants to bring you down. Takes all kinds of people to make this world, just ignore the ones that dont bring value or have anything nice to say in your world. Have you ever hiked the Appalachian trail? Those mountains run through my home town state of VA. Try your best to keep your head up, I know it is a challenge I struggle everyday myself and don't find you most days in life.

[@glendaly3344]

Korn have so many songs that are gifts. Sean Olson is a gift song, along the same theme as Daddy, but addressing the feeling of powerlessness and how as a kid you think that you are in control by giving what they want. Good God is a gift of a song.

[@Reacts2Reacts]

Love the way you turn the dark lyrics into a way of moving forward in a positive light, it is very true that people need to be able to release the things that have happened in the past that they can’t change, not saying to forget about it, but instead to accept it, to learn from it, and move forward in a positive light, love this reaction, well done!❤

[@mikebadjester940]

This song just reminds me of masking. I was having a terrible time with my mental health even asking friends for help and getting blank looks. Asking my work for support and not getting it because I didn't seem that bad. It took a support worker asking me to give him a numerical value of how I was feeling because I had been hiding my CPTSD and undiagnosed ADHD and my mask was too good to be seen through. Then my support worker saw the pain I was in and got me to push to see a psychiatrist to get a diagnosis and help. I am still on that journey and after 53 years I still get days when I am coming undone. I found this channel and love how you use music to discuss mental health as music has always been the way I survive and not end my days. Music is my way of seeing I am not alone. Thank you from a 53-year-old man still here and fighting.

@heartsupport you really should do a binge of Korn there are so many songs that are so good at portraying many different mental struggles that JD and many man go through. There are actually people who have thanked Korn for saving their lives because of their music.

[@chrisd7047]

"It doesn't sound sad." It isn't supposed to. The lyrics aren't filtered through sadness, they're filtered through anger, years and years of using anger as a coping and survival mechanism. "Don't be sad, get angry!" "Don't feel pain, get angry!" "Don't give up, get angry!"

[@tomspring213]

That’s what PanterA did for me, (The Great Southern Trendkill specifically). Anger was the “air” that kept my tires rolling. It was just up to me to keep the blow out from happening because I am the vehicle and the tires are a part of me. If that makes sense.

[@AIGeneratedUser]

Anger is one of the main ways depression is expressed through men. I found that out by being one of those angry young men myself not understanding what is happening to me or why. While at the same time desperately not trying to show weakness. I would get furious at myself for my emotions. Thankfully I’m much better now and would describe myself as a much calmer easy going adult :) Learning showing my emotions didn’t make me weak allowed me to process and heal instead of being angry

[@darkripper5187]

I love that how, in the beginning, it was day, later night and later just nothing...

[@JMulvy]

that has always been the part I identify with the most. The layers of outer shells falling apart leaving them exposed until they can do nothing but fall apart themselves. The happy go lucky sunshine phase, exposes the melancholy dark of the midnight phase, then what do you have left when both your light and dark side have been stripped away and you have nowhere to hide?

[@Khorn3]

[@russfed1120]

As a psychologist in training, who loves metal, who also has struggled and still struggles with my own mental health, your insight and passion is incredibly inspiring. Talking about coming undone being like a present to show our beautiful and vulnerable selves really hit hard. Please keep reacting to emotional metal/hardcore videos. You are incredibly valuable and entertaining.

[@larrywicks2037]

I've listened to Korn since I was a teenager. They, in fact, are one of my most favorite bands. They did write this song with the Queen anthem. Johnathan Davis himself has said so. I do listen to them when I am hurt. My pain and fear of situations that are perceived to be the falut from others is actually expressed in the form of anger. Interestingly enough, it makes me feel better because, at one point, it resonates within and sooths me. Mainly because I feel as if there finally is someone else who understands me and how I feel. It's almost like I'm not alone and someone gets me. Now, don't get me wrong, I am a nu metal guy through and through. This is my music on a daily and is my motivation. Linkin Park-Figure .09 great emotional feels from this as well, just like Coming Undone. Thanks for some lyrical insight though.

[@Sarahlouisseize]

The idea of the hard being soft is so real. Like you build a hard shell from your early shitty experiences and let yourself soften up through positive reinforcement but sometimes if that support is gone it's like there no bowl to collect the dripping parts as you're "coming undone".

[@meccancreel]

I loved and still love this band so very much. I listened to them a LOT! when I was very very young. As I got older I understood why I loved/love this band a lot. I liked them because I resonated with how honest and open he was. Things I couldn’t express Jonathan could. Got me through a ton and still does. Expressing raw emotion takes bravery and courage. ❤

[@boogeronthewall1373]

You wouldn’t happen to have a Spotify page where I can listen and learn about the different songs I grew up not knowing about. I was surprised with this one mainly because I was interested in the tune but since you broke it down it’s powerful. You do a great job at what you do and I’m happy to learn about the meaning behind these songs.

[@NotSure-e8z]

I recently had a long struggle with suicidal Ideation. And for the most part I have always been a mentally healthy person. I have had a lot of tragedy and struggle that has made life difficult for me. Despite that or maybe because of it I have developed positive coping mechanisms, such as opening up and "coming undone". The unfortunate thing from my last struggle was that as a man I was often told by the people I tried to open up to that I just needed to be positive in a very dismissive way. So even when men are open about their feelings it can be difficult to find people who are receptive to your needs. When the circle of support that you turn to reveals itself to be unsupportive it is important to seek new circles of support. It is out there.

Hi! I’m not a therapist but I am a veteran that struggles with his demons and I constantly fight to keep it together. I love the way that you interpret the song and you’re probably right but I always felt that this song was more of a celebration, not just because of the upbeat music but because he’s constantly winning his battle against coming undone. It feels like every time he gets close to the edge he’s able to fight back and pull himself together enough to keep going. Keep holding on

Surrender to Failure was what had me doing that silent, cant breathe, curled on the floor cry.

Therapist's dancing is so endearing because like, the instinctive motion is right, that's exactly what you do, her body's trying to headbang. But because of, like, the performance of doing a KZbin video, or habits maybe from how you dance to other genres, the other expressions are so incongruous. It's just so endearing, I wanna go to a million metal shows with her 🤘

[@seasickviking]

I remember when I first heard this, I thought about was about someone trying not to slip into madness. That the "So Strong Is So Delicate" was actually referencing their grip on their personal sanity. I was actually struggling with hallucinations in my teenage years and felt that this song reflected my lingering grasp on reality far better than I could articulate at the time. That being said, I could easily see why people compare it to suicide as well.

Metal is pain, but used as a force of strength. Endurance, survival, broken but held together. That’s why a lot of people find themselves drawn to it… because they identify with the pain but admire the strength gained from it.

[@fran_venegas_chile]

[@blueridge_ogre1714]

ya might want to give their song "right now" a look. full of self loathing / thoughts of self harm in that one (at least in the video depiction). the video version is edited lyrically but the animations get the the message across despite that. its been highly relatable for me at times, that deep look at yourself in the mirror and not liking what you see and wanting to destroy that version of yourself. In a weird way I think that song helped me to come to grips with myself and stop drinking, I was never addicted to it but foolishly used it to cope and numb the pain. I grew to hate that guy and stopped completely after being drunk daily for almost 3 years straight. I still have half a bottle of whiskey on my shelf now, its just for looks cause I haven't touched it in many, many years. I might have a drink 1-3 times a year on special occasions but thats it, dont even seek a buzz cause I know how much I hate drunk me.... that guy is a loser. One of my good friends will eventually drink himself into an early grave, none of us can seem to get him to stop. Its sad but you cant help someone thats unwilling to help themself.

[@JuggyFWB]

I am an adult survivor of long-term CSA. In my adult life, I have struggled with severe anxiety, CPTSD, depression, and suicidality. Five years ago, I met my current therapist, the first therapist to stay with me through the years, to learn who I really am, to take the time and care about my mental health. I've sobbed in so many sessions, talking about what happened to me, about how it made me feel, about the black thoughts that come so often. I've told him things I never told another living soul. It was like opening and infected wound, and watching the pus flow out. It was, is, painful and difficult. The only thing that would be more painful and difficult is going on like I was. Five years later, with twice monthly CBT sessions, I'm in an entirely different world now. My anxiety, depression, and CPTSD haven't disappeared, but they're *so* much more manageable. I feel like I've broken free of the chains I put on myself. I'm here to tell all of the other survivors who come to watch this video that reaching out for help doesn't mean you're weak. Showing vulnerability takes unimaginable courage and strength, especially after you've been hurt so deeply. And healing *is* possible. It's a tough road, what we've been through. It's never going to be easy for us. But it can be *better*.

[@Angelcain0666]
