      Actually, no, as an adult, the lyrics to this song make me embarrassed to have ever be a KoRn fan

      Seriously…

      "I see the flesh, and it smells fesh, and it’s just there for the taking

      These little girls they make me feel so god damned exhilirated I feel them up I can’t give it up The pain that I’m just erasing…

      I tell my lies and I despise every second I’m with you"

      Reading this as an adult makes my skin crawl

        I always thought that was the intention.

        From what I’ve been able to understand, it’s supposed to be a reflection of how Johnathan felt about himself constantly hooking up with groupies (I think he was married as well while this was happening).

        Apparently the use of “little girls” isn’t meant to mean underage, but to berate the young women he was having sex with.

        How true any of this is will only be known by Johnathan and the women in question. We’d all love to think the best in the people we look up to, but they’re not always going to live up to expectation.

        “Don’t meet your heroes” and all that.
