WARNING: GRAPHIC CONTENT AND EXPLICIT LYRICS
Korn, the self-titled debut studio album, was released in 1994. Themes included on the album are child abuse, drug abuse, and bullying.
“Daddy” was a song written about a painful experience (molestation) and the victim not being believed. Many assumptions were made about the song, and many years later Jonathan Davis, Korn’s lead singer, admitted the song was written about a family friend.
Korn’s guitarist, Brian “Head” Welch, and Korn’s bassist, Reginald “Fieldy” Arvizu, have become very outspoken about their Christian faith. Brian and his daughter, Jennea, were featured in a documentary entitled “Loud Krazy Love.”
“I had to put my kid before my career and all the money I was making. I decided to do the right thing. I was dying inside. If I didn’t have my daughter, I would be dead right now, for sure.” – Brian “Head” Welch
“Daddy”
song lyrics:
Mother, please forgive me
I just had to get out all my pain and suffering
Now that I am done, remember I will always love you
I’m your son
Little child, looking so pretty
Come out and play, I’ll be your daddy
Innocent child, looking so sweet
I’ll rape your mind and on your flesh I’ll eat
You raped!
I feel dirty
It hurt!
As a child
Tied down!
That’s a good boy
And #*$&%^!
Your own child
I scream!
No one hears me
It hurt!
I’m not a liar
My God!
Saw you watching
Mommy why?!
Your own child
Little child, looking so pretty
Come out and play, I’ll be your daddy
You raped!
I feel dirty
It hurt!
As a child
Tied down!
That’s a good boy
And #*$&%^!
Your own child
I scream!
No one hears me
It hurt!
I’m not a liar
My God!
Saw you watching
Mommy why?!
It’s alright
You raped!
I feel dirty
It hurt!
As a child
Tied down!
That’s a good boy
And #*$&%^!
Your own child
I raped!
No one hears me
It hurt!
As a child
Tied down!
No one hit me
And raped
Your own child
I scream!
No one hears me
It hurt!
As a child
Tied down!
That’s a good boy
And #*$&%^!
Your own child
I speak!
No one hears me
It hurt!
As a child
Tied down!
No one hears me
Mommy why?!
Your own child
I didn’t touch you there
Mama said she didn’t care
I didn’t touch you there
That’s why mama stopped and stared
Little child, looking so sweet
I’ll rape your mind and on your flesh I’ll eat
You raped!
I feel dirty
It hurt!
As a child
Tied down!
That’s a good boy
And #*$&%^!
Your own child
I scream!
No one hears me
It hurt!
I’m not a liar
My God!
Saw you watching
Mommy why?!
Your own child
You raped!
