I can relate to and understand this since when i was a young(er) girl (im only 14 atm), i was verbally abused and bullied really badly and was, at one point, suicidal because of it, this song (and some other korn songs) showed me i wasnt alone and helped me pull through. Twisted Transistor, meaning messed up radio/messed up music, is about a young girl who's self-hateful and abused verbally and/or physically, and how music comforts her no matter what she goes through, even if shes locked in her room sobbing and completely alone, how the lyrics can make you feel so much less lonely and almost become an addiction. JD is saying how no matter how misunderstood you are, music while always understand. "A lonely life where no one understands you, but dont give up, because the music do" People dont understand these things unless theyve gone through a similar situation and ive been through exactly what this song is about, its about how you can drown out your pain with music. So think before you assume what a song means. And I KNOW all of your have felt that before. Then she's crying, and the music is vibrating, the sound so loud that she can feel it. In this last area, the song goes on to say that the girl finally understands that the world isn't at all fair, and that if she doesn't hold strong, the world will destroy her, or consume her, hence the term eat. 'Your scream's a whisper' meaning that even when she screams, no one can hear. Obviously, the music is deeply affecting her, and the term 'forever preaching', just means that she's always gonna remember it. The chick is lonely, obviously, and misunderstood, but she feels a sense of understanding in the music, I mean, don't you have songs that just click? Anyone ever turned up your base real loud and felt the vibrations? She's holding onto a radio, and 'Turn it up, turn it up, The wind is coming through' means SOUND, as in music, which travels through the air. Transistor was a term used for radio way back when. You idiots, can you not see that there is nothing sexual about this song? Now go back and read the lyrics. The world ain't fair, eat you if you let it I get excited to write with the guys and a lot of people in bands that have been in bands as long as us, they hate each other – they can't even be in the same fucking room," Davis told Music Feeds about the excitement of writing new material.A lonely life, where no one understands you "It's nice being in a band with guys you get along with and you love.
Twisted transistor lyrics full#
While the frontman admitted he does "like the record," he said it wasn't a fun one to make and that Korn " failed miserably" in their attempt to recapture a particular sound and style.Įven though the group just dropped a new album, their 14th full length, they've already got their sights set on another record. The track features a number of homophobic slurs and, despite being the lead single off Follow the Leader, "All in the Family" has mostly been shunned live. According to setlist.fm, Korn have performed songs off that album more than 3,600 times and, of those times, "All in the Family" has only been played 26 times and has never made it into the set since 1998.Įarlier this year, Davis spoke about another low point, in his estimation, which was the Korn III: Remember Who You Are album. At the time, we were having a good time, but now I just cringe," he continued and clarified, "I’ve got nothing against Fred, it just sucks! We were out of our minds drunk! It shouldn’t have made the record." "We were all drunk in the studio and I was trying to rap.
It’s horrible," Davis said of the first official single that came out in advance of the record's release. "'All In The Family' is the worst song ever.
