SONG MEANING Freak On A Leash Korn

"Freak On A Leash" is a song about Jonathan Davis' feelings about the corporate music industry.

"That's my song that rails out against the music industry... Like I'm this freak paraded around, but I got corporate America fuckin' making all the money while it's taking a part of me. It's like they stole something from me–they stole my innocence and I'm not calm anymore. I worry constantly. I'm not just talkin' about the record business. Everything's involved. I've lost something. I'm not all there anymore. I love what I do, but I wish I could have it all back. It's like the "Peter Pan syndrome." I wish I could still fly." - Davis, "A Cut-by-cut Look at Korn's 'Follow the Leader' With Jonathan, Mitch Schneider Organization, quoted through Ultimate Guitar (last edited Jun 22, 2017)

"[I wrote “Freak On A Leash” about] the music industry, entertainment in general — how the machine worked. The label, management, publishers, everything that it involved. Looking back on it, “Something takes a part of me” was [about how] they were taking the fun [out] of making music and making it a business.
You can ask anyone in my band, I hate the f****** music [industry] ... I love singing and I love f****** making music... I know it’s stupid, but this is how I roll. It was me lashing out, because when [we] started getting bigger after Life is Peachy and got a bigger budget, I [was] watching it become more of a business." - Davis, The definitive oral history of Korn's "Freak On A Leash", NM Mashurov, Fader (Aug 14, 2018)
