About This Track

‘Layla’ by Korn is a 1995 track from the album ‘Immortal In-House Casettes’. The lyrics place the narrator in a cycle of repeated hurt and frustration, obsessing over the idea that the person causing it keeps returning, even as they offer a taunting calm. Rage is treated as something built up and then confined, with the song’s central refrain addressing ‘Layla’ directly, while later lines suggest the narrator’s confusion at being cast as the one left to deal with it. One short phrase nails the address, with the repeated cry of “Layla! Layla!”.

"Layla" is a track by Korn, from the album Immortal In-House Casettes, released 1995. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 4 articles about Korn.

Lyrics

Layla

[Verse 1]

Once more pain is thrown my way

Can't she stay away?

Every single time

She's fucking with my mind

Built up all this rage

Trapped inside some cage

While she sits and smiles

[Chorus]

Layla!

Layla!

[Verse 2]

Once more oh you're going through a phase

Why am I the one to blame?

Every single time

She's screwing up my mind

A pest in a locked up cage

In your life born and aged.,

Why can't I stand up and just say "goodbye"

[Chorus]

Layla!

Layla!

[Bridge]

The pain and rage and fear I feel!

Pain and rage and fear I feel!

Pain and rage and fear I feel!

Pain and rage and fear I feel!

Pain and rage and fear I feel!

Pain and rage and fear I feel!

Pain and rage and fear I feel!

Pain and rage!

[Verse 3]

Once more pain is thrown my way

Can't she stay away?

Every single time

She's fucking with my mind

Built up all this rage

Trapped inside some cage

Life's not meant this way!

[Chorus]

Layla!

Layla!

[Verse 4]

Inside I'm afraid

Afraid of who I am

Can't you even feel?

You've taken who I am

I have fought to find a way

I am afraid

To feel who I am

Fuck!

[Chorus]

Layla!

Layla!

[Outro]

That's why I cry!

That's why I try!
