Korn - Surrender To Failure Lyrics






Lost alone here in the dark
Looking for answers I will never find, I'll never find
God knew all along that he would take you
And the demons were set loose to claim their prize, I am their prize

Everywhere I turn, I can't escape you
Did everything I could to hide
For every good thing I've done, there's a price to pay
And that price has left me horrified, God I tried

Now I'm the one who never chose this
Now I'm the one who walked a narrow line
I would do anything to bring you back to me
If only God would let me turn back time

I've failed
I've failed
I've failed

    I truly feel Jonathan Davis's pain ever since the lost of his wife.

  15. D.... ....

    Bro...it wasnt your fault.....

  16. C.... ....

    You didn't fail boo boo chicken. 😭

  17. M.... V....

    The below I've written elsewhere*; but I think it applies the most here, as Korn is my favorite band..
    As someone who struggles with their own soul and sanity, Korn's music helps relieve the pressure on my own soul. (I live with night terrors and ... and I dont know why, I sleep with a bible under my pillow or within arms reach like a Linus blanket as it keeps the terror away from me)
    For some reason Korn's music helps keep the darkness at bay.

    ***
    Imo you know why most people go insane?
    Because all that, anger, rage, sadness, despair, love and angst... in most people have no talent in expression through art or music.
    It just bottles up inside twisting and turning, becoming a maelstrom of emotions until we eventionally explode into insanity or deep depression. Rage destructively against the world or spiral down into self destruction.
    However sometimes people are born with a talent of self expression in art, books, music...that they can share their stories with the rest of the human race where some people can find sweet release in the beauty of another's creation.
    Honestly artists of all types save more people's souls than they realise, even if they are only trying to prevent or repress their own insanity.
    ***

    I was scared of adding all this, but I've been crying listening to all this music...and it feels..good... to relieve the pressure just a little, even if I dont know where it's coming from.

  18. M.... E....

    This is the one that they needed that really shows the amount of heart that went into this record... I’m sure the recording was brutal

  19. N.... L....

    🔥🔥🔥

  20. S.... D....

    I can relate to this so much and it sucks I can relate to him

  21. J.... S....

    [Verse]
    Lost alone here in the dark
    Looking for answers I will never find, I'll never find
    God knew all along that He would take you
    And the demons were set loose to claim their prize, I am their prize
    Everywhere I turn, I can't escape you
    Did everything I could to hide
    For every good thing I've done, there's a price to pay
    And that price has left me horrified, God, I tried
    Now I'm the one who never chose this
    Now I'm the one who walked a narrow line
    And I would do anything to bring you back to me
    If only God would let me turn back time

    [Outro]
    I've failed
    I've failed
    I've failed

  22. H.... R....

    On one hand... I really feel his pain here, and I feel really sorry for his loss. But on the other hand... Damn, those drums though! Sorry, but for whatever reason I loved the beat in this song

  23. B.... Y....

    😥😥😥

  24. M.... L....

    His true voice from his soul

  25. c.... ....

    So fucking real..omg the pain we shall unfourntally go thru one day..bless all of us..find God find yourself..

  26. M.... ....

    These lyrics sound like they're pulled straight from the heart. Songs are great therapy and I just hope in reality Jonathon knows he didn't fail and it wasn't his fault he couldn't save her, it is too much of a heavy burden to weigh someone else's life on your own shoulders. It is better to have loved and lived than not at all. This album has bought a dark, beautiful art into the world and will surely bring healing to many others as well.

  27. C.... I....

    I don't think I've ever listened to an album with its heart this wide open. This song made me tear up a bit, I wont lie. Now I know why he seems like he is battling so hard internally. Praying for you John.

  28. D.... ....

    I just wanna start out by saying that I fuckin love Korn and always have since their first album, Korn has always helped me get passed some of the most fucked uhp times in my life, Thoughtless is my favorite by them 💯 along with so many others they have put out, but I can't help but feel disappointed when I hear this new album. I mean I know its something new and different and with everything that has happened with Jonathan, theres no doubt it all comes out in these songs💯 To me this is not the best album they've ever put, to me it seems kinda rushed and like the sound sounds like almost what every other metal band is doing now... Idk but for me I would've liked to hear some songs that sounded like Thoughtless, Here to Stay, Eaten up Inside, Beg for Me, Black is the Soul, Blind, Everything I've Known, Move On, Make me Bad, Bottled up Inside, Counting, Seed, It's On!, Justin, Oildale(Leave Me Alone), Move On, Deep Inside, Chi, Counting on Me, just to name ah few haha, Wish there were more songs like these classics on this album but regardless, Always love Korn 💯 Thanks for always helping me get through the fucked uhp times and making the happier times so much better, nothing but love and respect for you guys and all that you've done for all of us Korn fans!💯🤘✊😎😈❤

  29. R.... R....

    Korn really has outdone themselves, hail from Norway! Every album they`ve made is good. 12 good and unique albums. Few other artists can claim that.

  30. A.... M....

    Jonathan Davis you sing for me 😢. For my pain for my pain. May Allah lengthen your life. Ali from London Uk

  31. C.... Y....

    This is the best Korn album since Take A Look In The Mirror. Loved it from start to finish.

  32. F.... H....

    NIN vive

  33. m.... o....

    First time i cried

  34. F.... G....

    Love this so much

  35. T.... D....

    Got the chills listening too this one can feel the lyrics

  36. i.... m....

    What he hasn't failed on is making a badass album

  37. B.... U....

    This song man!...

  38. M.... J....

    Heart shredded

  39. T.... R....

    Rest in peace to Jon's mommy and deven. 🙏

  40. S.... A....

    Was listening to heavyweight metal, than there was blind, now this, when the first tone of the music poped out, It immediately blocked me, and at the I failed I weeped, damn.
    I've failed ... to keep my self together. I'm not that .. weak, damn.

  41. B.... P....

    I'm not crying you're crying T_T

  42. B.... M....

    I don't do it, but I want to hug Jonathan for going through that and releasing an awesome masterpiece

  43. D.... E....

    Oh sweet mercy this man is hurting

  44. T.... F....

    Always been loved heavier metal but The Nothing, Serenity of Suffering and Slipknot's The Grey Chapter have made me appreciate the more melodic side that can come with it.

  45. S.... H....

    I can f#@@& relate !! Korn fan from word go btw

  46. D.... B....

    Korn is life

  47. t.... d....

    One of the saddest songs I've ever heard...

  48. D.... ....

    Knowing where this song comes from... it's fucking brutal. 🤗🌷

  49. G.... M....

    Nothing matters anymore. This is the best thing ever created. It's over, the end begins.

  50. A.... N....

    Since we finished the album let’s vote!
    Korn’s The Nothing or Slipknot’s We Are Not Your Kind?

    A.... N....

    I've always loved slipknot, but Korn wins this one. The Nothing is art. :)

  51. N.... D....

    Oh JD... 😢 im so sorry.. my dad hanged himself 13 yrs ago. Unfortunately we cant always save the ones we love. We can, however, be the best parents we can in order to break the cycle. Syay vigilante of our own mental health and our childrens. I dont believe in god or heaven but energy cant be made nor destroyed, only transformed and thus our energy or "soul" or w/e you want to call it, musy go somewhere. Its transformed in to something. Maybe its grass if we are Properly buried instead of being embalmed in a concrete shell, that it. & maybe that grass feeds an animal and our energy is then transformed again and again and again. All i know is our energy goes somewhere into something and we never truly cease to exist. Your wife gave you gorgeous children and loved all of you with every fiber of her soul, unfortunately mental illness isnt rational and it sometimes makes us do irrational things. Ppl say suicide is selfish but whats more selfish, making someone stay alive even though they're in excruciating pain every secons of their life JUST to make your own life better? Or someone ending their pain and misery? Not that I am promoting suicide! Suicide isnt the answer, but if you've lost someone to suicide thinking of it that way might help the pent up anger, rage, pain, sorrow and hurt thats inside of you. In the mind of someone suicidal they believe they re doing something good for the ones they love. They become convinced everyone is better off without them, that theyre a burden thats dragging everyone down... so if youre suicidal and you read this, pls know thats not true and those of us whove lost someone to suicide would endure almost anything to have them back. Im 32 & still need my dad everyday but he killed himself when i was 18 which has completely wrecked my entire existence so no matter how bad it gets, just remember the ppl who love you will be irrevocably changed forever.

  52. A.... R....

    This is the song I can barely listen to becouse it makes my hearth and soul to bleed.
    I dont know what will I do if there is no KoRn anymore.
    I`m not religious but I pray every night for those guys. I dont believe in god or anything its just...
    I just imagine there is something bigger and stronger than us, higher force that will protect KoRn and help me with my issues, help us.


    It`s a sad that if U R different, people are looking at U like U R some kind of freak. Dont bother to comunicate with you or try to help.
    I fight 17 years with a lot of stuff, It doesnt matter.
    And when I read comments like " Oh look at KoRn they are rich and they still cry and bitch!n "


    I have the money. Does money solves your issues? NO!

    Can it help you to cure your depression? Can you feel at least one day happy?
    Money is just for survival in this cruel world full of hate, anger, bulling etc...
    Its a stage with a giant hand and you are just a puppet.

  53. N.... D....

    I love that the beginning sounds like the jungle

  54. S.... ....

    so painful(

  55. L.... O....

    OHHH,😭🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️

  56. M.... R....

    Another great album out to add to my iPod.

  57. H.... S....

    Wow, this album is painful. While it's often okay to accept failure and move on or try again, you really can't fail in a task that wasn't yous to succeed in. When it comes to others addiction and mental health, we are at best a slightly influential observer. Just like their success is not ours to claim, neither is their failure. All we can do is be a cheering audience. Although I think he is referring to his own fight with the nothing here, and if that's the case it's really sad. That's what the nothing does to you - it makes everything good irrelevant, and everything bad somehow your fault. But, don't give up just yet, we the audience are still here cheering you on.

    Btw I love the higher vocals of that song

  58. N.... ....

    Wow!! What a great fucking album. Great to hear that Korn still makes great music unlike Tool whose new album was boring dribble besides 2 songs.

  59. U.... K....

    Is this will be new "4U'' ???

  60. S.... P....

    RIP Deven. ...I love you Jonathan, you don't failed your band saved me from myself, i love you Ray, James, Bryan, i love U guys ! Thank You. @

  61. T.... S....

    Your an amazing man Jonathan, the new album expresses your feelings well. Korn #1

  62. E.... T....

    Like my f*cking theme song

  63. R.... S....

    this is the most raw and powerful song from KoRn ever!!!

  64. R.... S....

    This whole album broke my heart and made me headbang at the same time.

  65. D.... Y....

    damn, poor JD. beautiful song.

  66. J.... P....

    Go back an album and listen to “When You’re Not There” then listen to this album.

  67. C.... G....

    This album truly smacks. Very powerful.

  68. M.... ....

    Guys I like this one wish you could of made it longer it's to short

  69. R.... F....

    I love you so much, always have for the last 20...or so...years that I've listened to you. You reflect me, and no one else understands! Keep doing what you do...for no one else can

  70. T.... �....

    The first acoustic Korn song!

  71. M.... D....

    Part of this song makes me think of Batman!!!!!! Dark Knight style!

  72. E.... ....

    Holding All These Lies was the only KoRn song I heard for the first time that had me tear up...that was until now

  73. r.... p....

    The nothing came out to be a masterpiece 😀

  74. J.... M....

    All love your way Jonathan. Thoughts and prayers for you and yours. Great album!

  75. G.... R....

    Them Drums are wonderful!!

  76. M.... S....

    It feels like there is a lot more Korn to come. It feels like this album is cut into a couple of different parts this album only seems like part of more music that is to come. This is a very interesting record it feels very unfinished but good. You can tell Jonathan put his pain into this record. Jon we are all here for you keep continuing to do great things.

  77. P.... ....

    I love how Jon talks about God a lot in this album. He acknowledges his existence, that's why I always loved Korn. You can hear his pain, real pain, adult pain, something all of us old Korn fans can relate to as we get older and lose people the friends and fam we love. I dont understand how some people abandoned Korn. I wouldnt like to live without it. It grows with me as I grow, it's a remedy.

  78. S.... R....

    Goodbye Jordan, I'll miss you dude

  79. B.... ....

    you didnt fail JD, i feel your pain brother, we all feel your pain in this album

  80. l.... p....

    J'en perds mes mots tellement cet album est exceptionnel 🤘🤘🤘🤘

  81. a.... ....

    Grief can really fuck you up. You never failed, Jonathan. I really hope you feel better

  82. M.... U....

    Poor fucking Jonathan. I really hope his friends are there for him and he finds a way to be happy in this life. ALL OF YOUR FANS LOVE YOU!

  83. L.... C....

    god this is amazing

  84. G.... W....

    Thank you Jon for allowing us to hear your past, your present and your future.

  85. D.... T....

    Reminds me of Queensryche at first. Then straight into Queen of the Damned. Dope.

  86. C.... G....

    The last song ....i feel so Nine inch nails...its cool

  87. J.... -....

    Love this song, need more...


    Surrender to Failure / Alone i Break / Hollow Life / No One's There / Throw me Away etc...

  88. B.... J....

    As a teenager Korn always helped get me through tough times. I'm 32 now and just last week lost my older brother to suicide. Once again Jon's lyrics are helping me to find strength and heal. I am so thankful for this band and all they've helped me through and deeply sorry for Jon's loss. I met Head randomly at an airport once and should have given him a hug.

  89. G.... C....

    You haven't failed JD. Sending love to you and your family 🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤

  90. T.... j....

    Wow I'm blown away by this track his beautiful voice the lyrics flow and beat I'm in complete awe

  91. D.... J....

    You re good wish your pain and struggles will broken down with out thé back up from thé ghost of pain 👍

  92. S.... ....

    Jonathan has this amazing ability to translate such severe emotional pain into something so depressingly beautiful. I truly do hope he'll be able to recover from this, I can only imagine the pain he's feeling.

    S.... ....

    Love your comment, I agree 100%. JD is an amazing dude, Korn forever.

    S.... ....

    Because all the words truthfully comes out from his heart and soul and deep pain .

  93. x.... ....

    Really solid album intensity and sorrow, this had a higher impact than the new tool album. That one seemed lax mjk doesn't yell no more cuase of that wine sauce

  94. A.... M....

    Excelente Trabajo💯💯
    KORN🔯🔥🔥👿😈
    SALUDOS DESDE MÉXICO👍

  95. V.... A....

    This one hit me hard, the words, the sadneas in his voice. At the end my eyes watered up.

  96. P.... K....

    This... This one is more sad... Darker... Than Daddy

  97. R.... J....

    This song really hits hard for me. Well my wife didn't die though and I'm not married but my mom passed away a few months ago and the lyrics, the whole album just hits so heavily for me

    R.... J....

    Jonathan's mom also died two months before his wife did, so maybe you relate more than you know. Sorry for your loss

    R.... J....

    @Hellion Shark Oh I didn't know, yeah I guess I sorta do. I appreciate it man.

  98. H.... B....

    Shit, this is heart breaking
