KoRn Lyric Meanings -Life Is Peachy

The meanings behind his Jonathan's lyrics as told by himself!


Chi 
"Chi is about a lot of alcohol and drug abuse; people turn to that when
 they have problems so that they won't have to feel their pain." The
 song is actually named after Chi Cheng from the Deftones. Jon says, 
"We named it after him because he used to call it reggae, and he loves 
reggae music." 

Swallow 
"That's about being paranoid. Drug-induced paranoia." 

Lost 
"It's the sterotypical thing about your best friend meeting a chick, 
and then you're nothing." 

Good God 
"It's about a guy I knew in school who I thought was my friend, but who
 fucked me. He came into my life with nothing, hung out at my house, 
lived off me, and made me do shit I didn't really wanna do. I was into 
new romantic music and he was a mod, and he'd tell me if I didn't dress
 like a mod he wouldn't be my friend anymore. Whenever I had plans to 
go on a date with a chick he'd sabotage it, because he didn't have a 
date or nothing. He was a gutless fucking nothing. I haven't talked to 
him for years." 

Mr. Rogers 
"Back in the day when I was a speed freak, um... even further back when
 I was a little kid watchin' Mr. Rogers, that shit was scary. He was a 
freaky old man... Land of Makebelieve and Mr. FuckinMcFeely and shit...
 made me sick. So back when I was doing speed, like for 5 or 6 days I'd
 be trippin out and my brain would start to get freaky and get 
schizophrenic and stuff, and I'd tape it and watch it everyday over and
 over... I don't know, I was sick in the head. As a kid he told me to
 be polite and all it did was get me picked on. I fucking hate that 
man. Thanks for making me polite and trusting everyone, and easy to
 take advantage of. So I spent 3 months on that one song, just tweakin'
 on it, and it was totally just my Mr. Rogers obsession, about how evil
 I thought he was. Pretty much drug induced." 

K@#ø%! 
"People think it's sexist but it isn't. It's more subconcious bitching
 at all the women who've been with me in my life. It's not about women
 in general, just those women who hurt me. Initially, we wrote it to 
send to American radio for a joke, because they always chop up all the
 other songs. So we were going to send a 'real' single seven days 
later." 

WiCkEd 
This song's by Ice Cube from his album "Predator". It's sung by Chino
 from the Deftones. 

A.D.I.D.A.S. 
"It stands for all day I dream about sex. It's about how much of a 
pervert my ass is, and how I daydream about what a stud i am. But when 
it comes down to it, I'm a fucking pussy and I'm in there jacking off." 

Ass Itch 
"That was the last song I wrote, and I was so burned at writing out 
lyrics because everytime I write I get depressed because I start 
thinking about things, you know? So the whole song is about that. In 
the chorus it says, 'Before day, my sun will be dying'. It's because I put myself on the line all the time and for what? Because people 
aren't going to be listening to it anyway." 

Kill You 
"It's about a relative I first met when I was 12. I fucking hate that 
bitch. She's the most evil, fucked up person I've met in my whole life.
 She hated my guts. She did everything she could to make my life hell. 
Like, when I was sick she'd feed me tea with Tabasco, which is really 
hot pepper oil. She'd make me drink it and say, 'You have to burn that 
cold out, boy'. Fucked up shit like that. So every night when I'd go to
 sleep, I'd dream of killing that bitch. In some sick way I had a 
sexual fantasy about her, and I don't know what that stems from or why, 
but I always dreamt about fucking her and killing her."
