About This Track

'Trash' is a portrait of emotional numbness and cruelty. Korn's narrator is someone who recognises his own capacity for harm, the conscience that troubles him, but cannot or will not stop. He cycles through relationships with indifference, aware of the damage he inflicts but unable to feel genuine remorse. The song's power lies not in shock value but in this unflinching self-examination: a man who knows he is broken and continues anyway. The track moves between confession and defiance. Verses establish the pattern of seduction and abandonment; the chorus pivots to a kind of anguished self-interrogation, asking why empathy exists only to torment him. There is no redemption here, no turning point. Instead, Korn sustains the tension between self-awareness and self-destruction, letting the repetition of "I just throw you away" become both admission and refusal.

"Trash" is a track by Korn, from the album Issues, released 15th November 1999. The track is 3:27 long. It's filed under Rock. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 4 articles about Korn.

Lyrics

Trash

How did it start?
Well, I don't know, I just feel the craving
I see the flesh, and it smells fresh
And it's just there for the taking
These little girls
They make me feel so goddamn exhilarated
I fill 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
So I run away, and you still stay
So what the fuck is with you?

Your feelings, I can't help but rape them
I'm sorry, I don't feel the same
My heart inside is constantly hating
I'm sorry, I just throw you away

I don't know why I'm so fucking cold
I don't know why it hurts me
All I wanna do is get with you
And make the pain go away
Why do I have a conscience?
All it does is fuck with me
Why do I have this torment?
All I wanna do is fuck it away

I tell my lies, and I despise
Every second I'm with you
So I run away, and you still stay
So what the fuck is with you?

Your feelings, I can't help but rape them
And I'm sorry, I don't feel the same
My heart inside is constantly hating
I'm sorry, I just throw you away

I tell my lies, and I despise
Every second I'm with you
And I run away and you still stay
So what the fuck is with you?

Your feelings, I can't help but rape them
I'm sorry, I don't feel the same
My heart inside is constantly hating
I'm sorry, I just throw you away

I just throw you away
I just throw you away
I just throw you away
I just throw you away
