Coming Undone

"Coming Undone"
Song

"Coming Undone" is a song by KoRn and is featured on their seventh album, See You On the Other Side. It was released as the second single from that album on 13th March 2006.

The song entered Top 10 in both Billboard Mainstream Rock Chart and R&R Active Rock Chart, and a video has been recorded for the song. The track is KoRn's least representative yet, experimenting with hip-hop dynamics and a swelling, mid-tempo chorus, not at all like the fury of the past. The lyrics may be interpreted as Jonathan Davis expressing his recurring paranoia of his tragic childhood and the music industry; such interpretations are backed by the line 'Guess the black thoughts have come / Again to get me' and 'Since I was young / I've tasted sorrow on my tongue.' Others may feel the song to have political implications, as evidenced by the continuous references to confusion and discomfort in the lyrics: 'Wait / I'm coming undone / Irate / I'm coming undone / Too late / I'm coming undone / What looks so strong, so delicate.'

The accompanying music video directed by Little X is very strange. KoRn are performing in a desert in broad daylight. The sky shatters like glass to reveal a night sky. Then the whole background shatters, leaving a plain white background. Then suddenly, they are, literally, coming undone, and as they do, they resemble slinkies.

Recently KoRn and Atlanta crunk rappers, Dem Franchize Boyz did a mash-up of their two latest hit singles, "Coming Undone" and "Lean Wit It, Rock Wit It", titled "Coming Undone (Wit It)". It was produced by Jermaine Dupri and Scott Spock from The Matrix. It was first released on AOL on 28th April 2006.
