IS THIS ABOUT DEPRESSION? 🎵 Korn Falling Away From Me Reaction

Damn. U totally ruined the surprise of what the song is

[@nyxx7813]

@@Bay-Raker poor richard man your good bro it happens. Just be glad you didnt say mufasa dies.

[@JesseWinford69]

The meaning of the song is that we are taught these nursery rhymes as a child but they are all based on terrible things that have happened. Ring around the Roseys about the Black plague the ashes ashes we all fall down is about burning the bodies that were diseased. London bridge falling down is about when the London bridge collapsed when it was first built killed several people. The this old man came Rollin home is about a war veteran that's disabled in a wheelchair who gave his body for the country. However when returning home they don't take care of him they won't throw him a bone. Mary had a little lamb I'm not sure I think it's about a newborn lamb that survived being malnourished and abandoned by the mother. Mary saved it and it followed her everywhere.

[@elisandrotrevino2586]

When the beat drops and the heavy guitars start playing lex gets the biggest smile and it makes me smile cause she's really enjoying the music.

[@KiteBear]

I totally agree with you when the heavy guitar and bass kick in. Lex Just lights up with the biggest smile ever! She is a metal rocker for sure!

[@DarkAngel1985Mike]

This song hits deep for me being someone who had an abusive childhood with my father and later society and peers in general and had issues with depression, anxiety and suicide attempts

[@crusigala]

I was bullied relentlessly and abused by my step father. Literally wrestling and being punched. My mom only watched. My dad was effectively cut off because we just up and moved 6 hours away and be swore he thought he'd never see us again. It made me into the man i am today. I'm pretty emotionally dead though because suicide was always in the back of my mind and learning to kill emotion helped.

[@jenslindberg1152]

I wouldn't pick it for a reaction to be honest, I think it's a pretty basic song with terrible lyrics. I'm not a guy who hates on newer KoRn, I just don't think it's them at their best.

Jonathan Davis did a solo cover of Get Money by Lil Wayne that is catchy as hell. Since they're numetal legends, they've always had a hip hop vibe to them as well and have had guest performances on their albums with Cube, NaS and also covered Devil Went Down to Georgia last year with Yelawolf. They also covered One by Metallica! I could go on forever.

Korn and other bands helped me thro depression and from committing I also had my guitar to help

[@reecealger6991]

The lead singer used to do drugs early in the band. And he quit drugs cold turkey with no rehab during the recording of this album. And he said he thought he was really losing his mind. But he realized he was just detoxing from not doing any drugs and alcohol. If you look up the background to some of their albums every album is about something the lead singer was going through at the time. Korn is awesome I’ve seen them live twice they’re probably one of the best bands to experience live in concert.

[@charliekunkel]

I totally used to fall asleep to shit like this cranked up to 11. Metal is cathartic and therapeutic and stimulates deep emotions and thoughts. (More than any other type of music IMO). It's appeal is almost primal.

[@mjvdg4194]

This song was my introduction to Korn and to metal in general, been one of my top Korn songs ever since, as well as Got the Life.

[@dandanman95630]

When he said "You can say 'It could always be better tomorrow'" he said it in a mocking tone as if it is someone telling him that while he is depressed.

[@dandanman95630]

And he is praying that these people who dont understand what he is feeling would go away, they are beating him down aka kicking him while he is down.

[@themightis1306]

Love your reaction videos, keep it up! Here is an answer to the meaning of this song from an interview with the lead singer: Korn lead singer Jonathan Davis said: "The song is about domestic abuse and that there are ways to get help. Whether it's telling someone or calling a help line, there are ways to get out of those situations. No one has to be treated like that."

[@queenshersei896]

I think the line “I can always say it will be better tomorrow” was sarcastic. Meaning he can say that but it’s just masking.

[@the_ZAMURAI]

“Is this about depression?” they ask, on a song with a music video that very clearly shows domestic violence

[@Mark_W3]

That’s definitely a song that the video makes it make a lot more sense. But yeah great video ☺️

Being a metal head (who also loves all music in general, but metal is my ture love) I feel Lex gets it more than Brad. Brad, ypu understand it, ypu get the lyrics and all that, but Lex, you seem to GET IT. Its a release of innner demons, frustrations, anger, hate, lonliness, confusion, all the negativity, being released. Its like therapy. I am 30 this year, I have suffered with depression, being medicated for it, since I was 18. My only true releases I get is gaming with my friends a couple times a week, and music. And metal seems to be the best for that. Its like the therapy activity, write your feelings down, then rip it up, burn it, throw it away. Metal; scream it out, let it out, feel the weight lift for a while. Keep it up! Ove your vids! Would love to hear you react to Linkin Park - Breaking the Habit, or From The Inside, or Crawling. 🤟

korn is one of the bands that got me through some seriously dark times. i found so much to relate to in their lyrics that pulled me up because i knew someone else was going through the same crap. i couldn’t talk to anyone about it, so music was (and still is) my therapy 💜

It’s unfortunate when the makers of lyric videos don’t even bother to find the correct lyrics, but you got the gist of the song regardless.

[@mattnoonan6519]

As a Korn kid in high school, I didn’t stop listening to their music in high school. Their first album was my favorite, and I would just listen to it on repeat. Their music can be HARD to listen to, but me being what I perceived as one of the freaks or rejects, they were the soundtrack to my life in high school. Seeing them live in 1998 the year I graduate was the highlight to my year. Love Korn. You should check out the Deftones as well. Start with shove it or change. You guys will really dig the Deftones. A lot of Korn and Tool fans are also massive Deftones fans. So they’re in that same era of metal and rock… also the song Rocket Skates by the Deftones, which is from one of their later albums is a good intro to them.

[@murph3194]

I love seeing black people give rock a chance. You guys hit home when you said there are lyrics, issues and topics for everything in rock. I love hiphop. Well, 90s hiphop. But for decades it seems hiphop is all the same message with different words where with rock...you never know what it's going to get into which makes it so interesting. Anyway...Lex is adorable!

[@thecoogs]

That beat is fresh no matter the subject matter. Jonathan is a twisted genius

[@clintonnovak4640]

About 90% of metal in that era, referred to as New Metal. Korn took the lead and paved the way. Most the music in that era touched on depression, suicide, anger, abuse. And dealing with it... the new Metal scene influenced hip hop into the scene trying to bring fans from both sides in. Try Korn, twisted transistor

[@undone14]

Hell yeah! More Korn! Love your Korn reactions! Don't get discouraged if the record company they were with for the first 6 albums are punks and give yall a hard time (Epic/Sony records I believe). So many awesome Korn songs for yall to react to. Edit: Just a few suggestions. Their catalouge is awesome and unique which makes Korn a special band under the Metal umbrella. Many imitators, but none can replicate. Upbeat Korn - Got the life, Twisted Transistor, Get Up, Never Never Angry Korn - Right now, good god, lets do this now, divine Sad Korn - No Ones there, Dirty, When Will This End?

[@TeamSilver137]

The “it’s going to be tomorrow” part is the lie you tell yourself when you’re in that headspace. You WANT to think it will be better tomorrow, but you know it won’t. He’s denying his depression as a problem. At least that’s what I took from it as someone who went through suicidal depression.

@6:05 that background music Lex is talking about is one of my favorite things too!
