About This Track

'Appears' by Korn is a 2005 track from 'Twisted Transistor'. The lyrics revolve around a fractured, unreliable communication link, and a mind caught in internal conflict, with shallow breathing and a sense of pain. “This warzone of my soul” frames the emotional battleground, while the outside world is suggested as slipping in and contamination follows, even as the narrator admits to underestimating it. The chorus turns reflective, implying the problem has not been examined in depth, and reducing it to something almost dismissible, at least in how it is initially considered.

"Appears" is a track by Korn, from the album Twisted Transistor, released 6th December 2005. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 4 articles about Korn.

Lyrics

Appears

[Verse 1]

Cracked phone line means nothing

My brain's in fights and vain

My breathing so shallow

It helps to curb the pain

What's outside, sneaks inside

How we contaminate

This warzone of my soul

I underestimate

[Chorus]

I've never really thought about it that much

It's only ever violence that's in my touch

Appears, appears, appears, I am built this way

Appears, appears, appears, I am built this way

[Verse 2]

The pills they, quit working

They take more than they give

Emotions on flat line

It's all that I can give

The rising, the falling

My mind keeps tricking me

It throws me a life raft

Then leaves me out at sea

[Chorus]

I've never really thought about it that much

It's only ever violence that's in my touch

Appears, appears, appears, I am built this way

Appears, appears, appears, I am built this way

I've never really thought about it that much

It's only ever violence that's in my touch

Appears, appears, appears, I am built this way

Appears, appears, appears, I am built this way
