Korn: Freak on a Leash Meaning

Song Released: 1999

Featuring: Amy Lee

Freak on a Leash Lyrics

Something takes a part of me.
Something lost and never seen.
Everytime I start to believe,
Something's raped and taken from me... from me.
Life's got to always be messing with me. (You wanna see the light)
Can't they chill and let me be...

   "The huge single from that album was called "Freak On A Leash." It was about Jonathan being a freak on a leash--sort of a kinky dominatrix thing." -Brian "Head" Welch

   It's all about everything isn't real, you can see but you can't touch, you can touch but you can't taste, you can taste but you can't swallow
   Feels like I am inmate & don't know when you'll be judged
   It's like your head wanna be explode!

   It's about completing suicide, severe depression, anxiety and suicidal thoughts. He hates himself, he thinking of killing himself. He's had enough. This helped me when I was going though all this. Love the video too.

   Think that he sings something like "So, fine! somethings they´re meant to be, fine, somethings they die! and so on with a bit of changes here and there!

   I think what Jonathan Davis is telling us that he is being controlled by his some assholes(freak on a leash) losing his freedom to the point I think its about fighting for freedom

   I belive that this song is about an addiction in which makes the speaker want to kill himself as expressed in the lyrics in parentheses and wanting to take away all the pain and tryng in vain. It is also about how he can't live without the addiction expressed in "you and i are meant to be" the next line can be interpreted as having a postitute around him that he feels connected with.

   The song freak on a leash is about being molested by priests as a child. The weird (but fuckin awesome) screamo jukebox thing is just showing the repeated insanity of the situation. Another song that helped me live. Thank you jonathan

    The music video "Falling away From Me" (Falling Away From Me discusses child abuse and domestic violence from the abused child's perspective) is a continuation on the music video Freak on a Leash".. Can it have the same theme perhaps..

    It's basically like, he came up with all the lyrics and spent the time putting songs together and he's seen as sooo many things in the media, yet through good publicity and bad, sleepless nights and whatever else he's endured, there's a political sewer line there draining him of EVERYTHING he's worked for. He's worked hard, been the freak show, put his ass on the line sooo many times and THEY reap the benefits of what he sowed. It sucks really.

    I was told this song was about him or someone's obsessive coke addiction.
