Korn: Coming Undone wit It Meaning

Song Released: 2006

Coming Undone wit It Lyrics

Keep holding on
When my brain's tickin' like a bomb
Guess the black thoughts have come Again to get me
Sweet bitter words
Unlike nothing I have heard
Sing along mocking bird
You don't affect me

That's right
Deliverance of my heart
Be...

   coming un done is about when your life goes to hell and you feel confused like every thing is falling apart. when we found out that my stepdad raped my little sisters last year i coudn't think straight. all i knew was that i was going to kill him in the most brutal way possible. i know that feeling.
   than u jonathan

   Sure JD meant this song to mean something specific but who cares what the fuck he meant. The song means whatever the hell you think it means, whatever you want it to mean.

   I think this song is about killing yourself. he says "since I was young ive tasted sorrow on the toung, but its sweet sugar gun does not protect me. this is saying that even though he has experienced alot of sadness is doesnt make sadness any easier to deal with. He also says " thats right, trigger in between my eyes, please strike, make it quick now." the trigger means Death and he is encouraging it. the line "What looks so strong so delicate" means that he can hide his suicidal thoughts and noone else will know his troubles. Awesome song anyway

   This is just my interpretation.. So take it as you want it.
   "Keep holding on
   When my brain's tickin' like a bomb
   Guess the black thoughts have come Again to get me"
   As most of you said it's about losing control of himself.
   Trying to keep his thoughts together while paranoia rears its head.
   "Sweet bitter words
   Unlike nothing I have heard "
   Suspecting that someones opinions and words have double meaning..That it sounds friendly but is in fact hostile or demeaning.
   Real problem being that he cannot be sure which meaning is real.
   "Sing along mocking bird
   You don't affect me "
   Unable to deal with words with double meaning he decides to ignore them.Not let them effect his opinion.
   "That's right
   Deliverance of my heart
   Be straight
   Be deliberate "
   Saying that he is giving out his emotions,giving a warning to be straightforward.no double meanings. and to be carefull with your words.
   the chorus is talking about him opening himself and his feelings(coming undone)the tone of the song and the words tell you that it is something very hard for him to do.The outside appearance of strenght of character indiference to outside opinion is false.The inside is delicate and words affect him greatly.Enough to suffocate and try to stop in coming undone.
   "Choke choke again
   I thought my demons were my friends
   Getting me in the end
   They're out to get me"
   Connected to the chorus I think it means trying to open to someone but realising that some people who he considered friends prove otherwise in delicate times.So he chokes all those feelings back.The whole song is saying that the burst is inevitable. but he is keeping it for someone else.
   "Since I was young
   I've tasted sorrow on my tongue
   And this sweet sugar gun
   Does not protect me "
   That event of betrayal happened while he was young and the denial and strong shell he created (sweet sugar gun) is just a temporary solution.
   "That's right
   Trigger between my eyes
   Please strike
   Make it quick now "
   He needs to let it out fast, can't take it anymore.
   "chorus"
   Expresing that he cannot keep it together much longer.He needs to come undone.
   "I'm trying to hold it together
   Head is lighter than a feather
   Looks like I'm not getting better
   Not getting better "
   Having doubts about it.Not knowing if he should go all the way or keep going as he was.But that way he won't get any better.
   The song ends with the chorus.Opening up in the end for better or for worse.

   First I would like to say to the person who talked about the sex slave thing, you sir, are a moron of the highest caliber, how you got "sex slave" out of a song about a person clearly going insane, is beyond me, the song is about him being in a world of shit while he was a child and how things arent exactly looking up for him now, like in freak on a leash, that's about him being screwed over by the music industry, coming undone is about him tryin to not go insane, which him fighting a losing battle, he's slowly losing his grip on sanity despite how hard he's tryin not to

   I personally think this song is sexual related. That it's about person who has had a bad life and very sensitive penis.
   
   "Keep holding on When my brain's tickin' like a bomb Guess the black thoughts have come again to get me Sweet bitter words Unlike nothing I have heard Sing along mocking bird
   You don't affect me
   That's right Deliver it to my heart Please strike
   Be deliberate"
   
   In that line I believe he is getting a blowjob from some sexual slave and since he has a problematic penis he tries to have some form of sex each time to try and prove that he can have good proper sex
   The Chorus of the song is about him being in orgasm. The words "so strong so delicate" probably talk about his penis going off too quickly.
   
   "Choke choke again I thought my demons were my friends Getting me in the end They're out to get me Since I was young I've tasted sorrow on my tongue And this sweet sugar gun Does not protect me"
   This part is probably about how his semen is choking the sex slave and how he starts telling them about his life and how his friends betrayed him. "I've tasted sorrow on my tongue And this sweet sugar gun does not protect me."
   Probably about how he has been sad throughout his life and how his penis hasn't helped him at all because it hasn't ever given him a proper orgasm to shield against all the sorrow.
   Finally the last verse before the final chorus of the song is about how he is going through his third orgasm from that same sex slave and how his head is starting to feel dizzy.
   Well that's it :D. You may not approve of my interpretation but whatever everyone has their own opinion right? I am a Korn fan as well so don't think I am dissing them.

   This interpretation has been marked as poor. view anyway

   I think this song is about overcoming drug abuse and the battle that rages inside people when they are addicted to a substance, but are trying to stop.
   "I thought my demons were my friends."

   I think the whole I always thought demons were my friends line was like how he was able to take his horrible childhood and put it into song for rock hits but then the kids & teenagers that listen to koRns lyrics freak out and are all theyre advocating rape drugs violence and "devil worshipping" when really they don't look deep enoguh into it and it pisses him the fuck off

    I think you're mostly right except that it's not necessarily about Jonathan specifically

    What he is saying is, that though he seems strong he is actually delicate. Hence why he says, "What looks so strong so delicate"
    
    "Keep holding on when my brains ticking like a bomb against the black thoughts.."
    
    As in he holds it all in even though he wants to explode
    
    And he is slowly coming undone and due to him being delicate he might just explode, but he is trying to hold it together.
    
    Like he also says, his friends are really his demons

    He doesn't want the pain to stop... He is so used to pain "since I was young I tasted sorrow on the tongue" It becomes almost a comfort.

    Hmm.. I don't really understand this all, but "head is like a feather" kind of reminds me of Head quitting the group for spiritual "lighter than a feather" reasons.
