Korn - Here to Stay Meaning

Song Released: 2002

Here to Stay Lyrics

This Time I'm Taking It Away
I´ve Got A Problem With Me Getting In The Way
Not By My Side
So I Take My Face And Bash It Into Mirror
I Won´t Have To Feel The Pain (Bleed, Bleed)

This Pain Is Elevating
As The Hurt Turns Into...

   "Here to stay" is a message to fans that he is not going to act on his suiciudal thoughts, which repeatedly surface in JD's lyrics.
   
   "The Hurt Inside Is Fading (he is challenging his thoughts)
   This Shits Gone Way To Far (his self-destruction)
   All This Time I´ve Been Waiting
   Oh I Cannot Grieve Anymore (for himself)
   For What´s Inside Awaking (his ego)
   I´m Done, I´m Not A Whore (self-affirmation)
   You´ve Taken Everything And Oh I Cannot Give Anymore (either he is blaming himself for his destructive thoughts, or he is referring to former abusers; and he feels that he has run out of emotional energy thinking about his past/his worthlessness)"
   
   This is actually one of very few Korn songs that has a positive message! A happy ending might have been if Korn had made this their last ever miserable song? Yeah, a silly idea, but there you go.
   
   "Remember Who You Are" shows that JD has decided the not follow his own advice, because there is some seriously dark thinking behind it.

   My guess about this song is about being taken advantage of and how Jonathan Davis is tired of being there for everyone and being mr nice guy. Awesome song btw :p
