Therapist Reacts to Falling Away From Me By KORN

[@petrmilota6398]

Korn is a reason why I am still here.. Nu-metal and mostly their "sad" songs were ment for us - troubled kids - to cope with situations which we had so little knowledge about.. I'm 35 now.. still fighting my demons from childhood - still single, still enjoying my solitarity but at least I am not suicidal..

[@ericklandrud5356]

Same, 48 now... my first experience ever hearing KoRn was them opening for Marilyn Manson who opened for DanZiG And... as a musician at the time into that, KoRn scratched an itch that Ministry, Manson, Slayer and the harsher death metal couldn't reach... KoRn is hate, and pain, but with Head (let's ignore the stuff without him) it is also Love and Healing from the past injuries life deals

Korn represented a lost generation of kids. Such an undercurrent of rampant abuse in all of its forms in so many households. So many of us had disassociated by our teenage years. He gave us a voice. Something to stand behind. Brought us to others just like us, and showed us we werent alone. The anger in their music was like a lightning rod for the anger we lost souls felt. Still to this day one of my favorite bands.

Korn saved many lives, It represented a generation of "lost kids." It wasn’t just in the U.S.; in my country, Venezuela, many kids, including myself, sat on sidewalks and the steps of plazas, with bruises on our skin from hits (some of them at home others by bullies), wearing worn skate shoes and holding second-hand skateboards, trying to translate the songs. Even when we didn’t fully understand the lyrics, we could sense the message.... Today we are +30 years old and we are guarantors of not repeating the same mistakes with our children. issues, follow the leader and untouchables were very important in my life. I saw them live for the first time a few weeks ago at their 30th anniversary concert, it was spectacular.

I grew up in a very abusive household. I disassociated so much that I can't remember most, if not all of my childhood. When I got stuck in another one, I "flirted with suicide", just wanting out. "No more pain. No more sorrow" is what I told myself. I did get help, hospital and professionals. It's been about 5 years, im so happy I was able to reach out.

[@dsggoodbar]

The saddest part is that Jonathan Davis has first hand experience in abuse as a child. I've been through my own trauma, but fortunately it wasn't this severe. My favorite aspect of this video is that the kid ultimately used the box (music) to get away. Music saved my life many times. I deal with mental health diagnoses. Music can be a huge safe haven for relating to or working through emotions. Music is the heartbeat of my life.

[@Quizzy0000]

i did flirt with suicide like 20 years ago but not cause of this topic in the video but still. never told my mother tbh i dont think she could take it now so its my painfull secret i share to all of you. korn actually saved me from this feeling. it felt like i wasnt alone feeling all these feelings. my aunt kinda saved me she had korn on in the car 20 years ago and i looked them up and a whole world opened up for me.

[@lithiumkc8]

Korn was my version of a therapist growing up. So grateful for them. I’m glad you are stable. Thoughts of suicide are so heartbreaking. Everyone should know that they are loved and everyone deserves positive support. 🙏♥️

5:07 The trauma-related disassociation and out-of-body experience you mention is so palpable... That's exactly what I feel (vicariously) when watching this video. I think the box represents the inner turmoil/pain/grief/trauma that the girl is looking at from outside and above. Very powerful imagery and symbolism either way.

[@frankthedukes1564]

6:28 her having the band in her room and all the kids outside chanting is like a huge metaphor of how this music connected so many kids. even though we were in pain, we were in it together. we all made it through.

[@mewxtwo]

Id like to say, Korn's music hits on a different level when you start to watch their videos and listen to the lyrics. Especially if you have similar trauma. In my opinion, it is reaching out to others who have experienced CA, in the most effective way. The music captures the frustration, pain, and anger so well that even if you aren't a big fan of metal or nu metal, you can get down with it simply because of how real the subject matter is. It literally sounds like how these things make you feel. We can see this literally happen before our eyes as she watches the video, catches the vibe, and then starts to headbang to it. That is such a powerful thing to be able to do. And thats why Korn is one of if not the biggest, most mainstream nu metal bands of all time.

[@MindSawProductions]

This video is the embodiment of "find your tribe". The idea that family isn't blood [RED], but rather those who free you from pain. She stays behind until KoRn comes back into the box, The band represents her inside energy and will to escape her situation, the driving force that helps her finally open the window to make her escape into the arms of her new/true family. You're absolutely right where it continues off from Freak on the leash because it's a continuation of the idea of using art and creativity to release and/or understand the pain of life. Infact that's literally Jonathan's whole though process when it comes to KoRn lyrics in general. He's stated in many interviews before that they want to be the voice for the voiceless, a place for kids to understand they're not alone, that what they're going through isn't right, and that there is a way to escape it.

I was a teenager when all these groups came out. It was all I listened to and that anger/raw rage was the only thing pushing through those years of apathy/depression/suicide attempts. Without it, I just curled into a ball, unable to move. As I found my footing and purpose in my 20s, I was able to let go of the heavy music. Still love the classics!

[@Burning_Rocket]

Recently, after watching this clip, I couldn't hold back my tears. As a child, I was physically abused and lived in fear, expecting it to happen again every day. I was able to leave there and live separately from my parents, but I still can't forget it. I don't think about it, but the reminder of those times can awaken emotions in me. I just wanted to share it.

[@HeartSupport]

From lu2910: @Burning_Rocket I'm so sorry that you lived through such a time in your life, I'm very grateful you're still here and in a better place. The hurt we experience, especially such unjust and traumatizing one, oftentimes will linger with us under our skin. We are able to build ourself up and move past it, but the memories still will spark up and make us feel as if we are reliving it all over again. One example I've heard about what trauma is like is a big ball bouncing rapidly around a box with a button. When the ball hits the button, we feel everything all over again and it hurts. As we grow as a person and find ourself and process our hurt, the ball shrinks and becomes slower. The effects drastically decrease, but the ball can still hit the button at any time. You are an incredible person and you are so much more than your hurt. You've come so far that the button is rarely pressed to remind you of these emotions, but the emotions will still come up to be processed at times. Know that your past is no longer your reality, and when you feel this way you are not going through this alone, and the feeling is only temporary. I am here with you my friend, I've very proud of you and I will be with you as you continue to persevere forwards <3

From reem182: @Burning_Rocket Hey there, thank you for sharing a part of what you've endured. That is strong and courageous and your perseverance proves to me that you are meant to be here. I can't begin to imagine all the pain and trauma that weighs on your heart so many days from what you've experienced. I don't know why such horrible things happen to people, but I do believe that there is purpose and beauty in your life exactly as you are with all you have lived through. It's okay to still be broken by the evil that has happened to us. It's okay to not feel okay. Those emotions are brutal and they might always linger. I see your pain and your story is heartbreaking. But every hard thing you've endured gives me hope that you probably can't see right now. You have persevered where so many would give up, and I believe that your strength is serving as an example to people you might not even know. The fact that you are still here might be the example of hope someone else needs to stay alive today. I can't tell you how grateful I am that you are here and are willing to be vulnerable. This world needs more of that and you are a bright light in it. This pain does not have the power to overshadow your beauty and worth. I see you as someone so much more wonderful than the horrible ways you have been mistreated. You do not deserve to be abused and you are not defined by what others do to you. I believe in the hope you can't see right now, my friend. I am sending you all my love today and I am so proud of you for exactly who you are.

I suffered physical and psychological abuse as a child at the hands of my mother, and I remember watching this video as a kid, feeling completely identified with it. Even though I dissociated from myself to cope with the pain, this song helped me understand I wasn’t the only kid experiencing violence. If it weren’t for this song, I wouldn’t be alive today, and I wouldn’t be a metalhead. Korn changed my life, and they’ll probably never know the impact they’ve had on me.

A thing I feel that is overlooked is the fact she has the band/music in the box and seeks them out in her worst times. Basically the music is there when you need it, also it can be a release/protection for those times and ultimately can help you escape the situation. It never leaves her and she carries the music with her. That’s my interpretation of the band in the box.

Bands like Korn are powerful in that write songs with lyrics and content that brings awareness to things that are usually swept under the carpet and not talked about it.. They do it in a way that throws it in societies face so that it cant be hidden and so that people cant just look away. it brings awareness all while giving those who are in those situations a feeling of not being alone in their struggles in living hell..

[@pandamanda3182]

This is why I will always go back to Korn, they are a form of therapy for us. All of these songs came out when I was going through similar things and my only outlet was music. They not only made lyrics I could feel and relate to, but the rage is something I understood. Even if I go years without listening to them consistently, I always come back and it's usually at a time I need to work through something. I sleep listening to them at times. People always told me 'If you listen to that you'll just get more depressed and angrier', but it helps me get that out. I've learned how to disassociate whenever I want to now. I'm in therapy now but this still helps.

[@bradhaines3142]

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.

I can't even put into words how much Korn has helped me when I have been completely down and out. Jonathan has such a way with words that is simply just RELATABLE, and I use it to power through. Then I come out stronger. and when i am down, I never stop and think of all the things he has been through. The last time I hit rock bottom they released the Nothing and I felt the struggle and misery with every lyric, however now i listen back and feel like it fixed me. It is unbelievable how music can alter your frame of mind and Jon just really is one of us but happens to have one of the most amazing voices of all time.

It's like I always have a place to go, no matter what happens or how badly I mess up. This realisation has been my rock since early teens, and my further life experiences only solidified it. Ironically it's the thing that kept me alive at my lowest, and after I failed previous attempts. At the bottom I found solace, seeking what I once thought the end.

Ok I'm seeing this now as an important channel. A therapist who can relate to metal. That's big right there. Music has always been cathartic, and at least somewhat reflective of the inner landscape of the writer. Metal music is there to express pain, rage, frustration, defiance, rebellion. I've often thought of metal as a therapeutic tool. It's a gift to have someone knowledgeable and empathetic to dig into the feelings expressed in metal, and the feelings that arise from it. Metal can be an incredible catharsis. It can be a way of feeling some form of belonging, of being seen and understood. A template for rebellion. A shout of solidarity. I think in the right hands it can be an awesome therapeutic tool. You seem insightful and supportive. I'm excited to see this! Thank you for bringing this channel to the world! Big thumbs up! ❤

It's fun to watch someone discover music that I can't picture my life without

[@djmastergroove946]

Jonathan Davies had a very painful and traumatic childhood. The 2 song's Freak on a Leash and Falling away from me, the video's we're an expression of that time! Powerful, Raw, Emotion.

I’m a huge KORN fan and listening to these brings me back to my childhood… sitting in my room alone just me my bad thoughts and korn blasted in my headphones

[@BrokenStrings231]

Through of these 24 years that I've been on this earth, I've struggeled with so much abuse due to the way I looked when I was a kid which resulted in me stuttering, which I still do to this day. It caused me so much trauma, destroyed me so many times, always creeps around the corner, but it also taught me a lot on how I can start loving myself, how I can move forward and that I'm not alone. It's different listening to bands like Korn and listening to lyrics now that I'm older, that I started to work on my issues and that I'm studying social work so I could help other people. It's nice not feeling alone.

[@Lymsley]

Was a Korn fan from the jump… yeah I’m old. When Falling Away from Me dropped, it was one of the first times, I can remember, feeling a part of something larger than myself… probably a mixture of timing & Korn’s popularity reaching a critical mass… but, people around me where starting to wise up to this music, that it wasn’t just angry, angsty self indulgence. This music has soul, intelligence, emotion & a message. 1st time seeing your channel, hope to see more soon.

[@hed_rollins]

Korn is my favorite band. I give Jonathan the highest respect. There is a video where he talks about how he is struggling with depression. It inspires me a lot!

[@furinteeth5845]

KoRn has been my therapy for over 30yrs now. Welcome Home.

[@LJ-yz4ob]

Korn is so good! They sing songs that are uncomfortable, and force it into the limelight, which is good. It needs to be out there and talked about. I wasn’t abused as a child, but at 16 I was pregnant and got married. My former husband mentally, physically, and sexually abused me. At 21 I left and got divorced. I did start standing up for myself and fighting back.

[@dylancrosby6891]

I've always taken this song to be a "we know, we care" type message, released in 1999 that's pre smartphone, and pre internet for most normal families, these days if you're a kid being abused you can google and seek help or forums and find support, back then, you kept it to yourself in the fear that anything you said would just get back to your abuser, this was Korn saying, we've been there, we get it, and we're going to get you through this

[@RikkeMyE]

Hi, 37 year old woman from Denmark here / this is still my favourite song, 20 years…. And yes its the continuation and they are next to each other on the album 😅

[@kenhoward2340]

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

[@olafurjohannsson5165]

Holy shit this woman gets it. Korn saved thousands of people from going the suicide way. Me one of them.

[@yoiitsthenoid9461]

I've seen this music viceo god knows how many times, but I never really noticed that the box she has is very symbolic. When she opens it up it's all her bottled up emotions coming out, and when she leaves and she turns back and it all goes back into the box, it's her traumas and pain going back inside her because no matter where she goes, it'll always be there.

[@adamv1715]

All the rage, sadness, disassociation, grief etc kids feel can all be worked out within one hour in a pit. It's a place to let it all go and truly be yourself.

[@benjithefox1278]

Most of my days I often get feeling disassociated with myself because my childhood made me wish I could escape. By the time it was proven that I needed help away from it, I was mostly disassociated with myself. Music has this healing ability to me to help me through my struggles. I did the best I could to hang on and gotten myself therapy when I needed it. Sometimes the isolation abuse has me feel like I haven't had much experience with life enough to connect very well. I just do the best I can to survive and be myself.

[@HeartSupport]

From GaryYounOG: @benjithefox1278 It sounds like you've been through a lot, and I truly admire your strength taken to navigate such challenging experiences. Music’s healing power is remarkable, offering solace and a form of escape when the weight of past trauma feels too heavy. It’s heartening to hear that it helps carry you through tough times. Dealing with dissociation, especially as a result of a difficult childhood, is incredibly tough. This coping mechanism, while protective at times, can make it challenging to stay connected with yourself and the world around you. It’s understandable that you might feel as though your experiences have isolated you, limiting your ability to fully engage with life and connect with others. This feeling of being somewhat outside of normal experiences is a common aftermath of enduring abuse. I'm glad to hear that you’ve taken significant steps towards healing. That’s a powerful decision and a vital part of caring for your mental health. You’re actively working towards recovery, and every effort you make is meaningful. You mentioned doing your best to survive and be yourself-this is incredibly important. Each day you continue to push forward, you are asserting your strength and your commitment to living your life despite the difficulties you’ve faced. It’s okay if the journey feels slow or if the path forward isn’t always clear. What matters is that you are moving, that you are striving, and that you are acknowledging your struggles while also working through them. Perhaps exploring new activities or interests could further assist in creating connections and enriching your life experience. Joining groups or classes that align with your interests, whether they’re related to music or something entirely new, can be a good way to meet new people and form connections. This doesn’t have to be a big commitment-a casual meet-up or even online forums and groups can be a starting point. When I’m under similar situations, I found volunteering to be beneficial as a way to step outside of my own experiences and contribute to something larger. This was incredibly fulfilling for me and it helped me forge new social bonds and add to my life experiences in meaningful ways. Thank you for sharing your journey with such openness. Please remember, your best is absolutely more than enough. You're doing what you can to heal and grow, and that deserves acknowledgment and respect. Keep taking care of yourself, and know that it’s perfectly fine to take things one step at a time.

[@HeartSupport]

From Micro: @benjithefox1278 There is no doubt that you are doing more than enough to survive and to keep on seeking what life has good to offer to you, friend. Numbness especially is such a frustrating and difficult reaction to overcome, especially when it stems from trauma. Although it serves us and help us cope in adverse circumstances - or what feels like it in the present. I'm so proud of you for not giving up on yourself and for letting things such as music be a healing funnel to you. It's amazing what it can do. Rest assured that you are not alone. :heart:

[@phillipkylekinsel1601]

I watched my dad drag my mother across the hallway. I was 8. I tried to help and got hit. The rage in his eyes! I dissociated. I still do. I’m a fighter, mentally I’m fighting him.

[@Jason-yy8os]

I just think you are absolutely amazing, thank you

[@Steve_P_B]

Another Korn video absolutely packed with symbolism dealing with similar themes to this is Thoughtless

[@fyisic]

As a teen i was really into Korn and while i didnt have abuse issues i had a lot of insecurity issues and suicidal thoughts. What Korn did for me was with the brutally honest lyrics come down and grab me and with the instrumentals give me strength and help me proccess those intense teenage emotions. In other words, with lyrics say " hey your not alone" and with the instrumentals "lets fight together".

[@soberlifehardcore]

Victim of abuse. Korn got me through Marine Corps boot camp. No matter what they said to me, i always though, "this is better than home"

[@thefightbyfriday1613]

KORN IS THE REASON I SURVIVED.

[@thomasmorisette9042]

Graduating in 1999 I only listened to rap, about 2001 I started listening to they by accident and quickly related to not only this song but the full Issues album, really got me through some tough times and 23 years later just saw them perform for the 20th time live 😎

[@dave42038]

I love your reaction to this video!!!

[@kaylzshter6153]

2:00 you're right, i wish I knew how to guide people who are at risk, away from me, and to actual help.

[@Saiyan7R]

The very first song that got me into Korn. I used to listen to the song to cope with suicidal thoughts and many many other feelings. The chorus beating me down, I used to think of it as if life is just beating me to the ground. When there's no one else, Korn is the safe place to go to. I never experienced domestic abuse, but sending prayers to anyone out there experiencing such horror or any shit overall. There's always light at the end of the tunnel.

[@stevenbanks1548]

This music video did a lot for me at the time it came out. I was right around the incredible young actresses' age. I used to watch this video and dream about saving her from her situation. It wasnt until much later in my life and therapy that I understood this obsession for what it was.

[@gstevenson7781]

This is genuinely turning into one of my favourite channels due to the content and your reactions. I’d like to recommend “Poet and the Pendulum” live at Wembley by Nightwish. It is not the normal song people start with when it comes to Nightwish, however it is the song that suits this channel the most as it deals with depression and struggle. It was written by Nightwish’s song writer the keyboardist Tuomas during the hardest time in the bands history and he basically ended his life in the song to stop himself doing it in real life, however the new song finishes positively with a new beginning. It is one of the best written pieces of music you will come across and is broken into Acts. I won’t say more about it. Nightwish hold the record for most reacted song in KZbin history with “Ghost Love Score” (normally what people start their Nightwish journey with. However, as previously mentioned, “Poet” suits this channel perfectly, especially if the research is done on the songs meaning beforehand.
