“Evolution” is the lead single from Korn’s untitled eighth album, the other one being “Hold On”.
The song is about how humans are regressing and destroying their own environment, while they’re advancing and adapting to their conditions.
[Verse 1]
I'm digging with my fingertips
I'm ripping at the ground I stand upon
I'm searching for fragile bones (Evolution)
I'm never gonna be refined
Keep trying, but I won't assimilate
Sure, we have come far in time
(Watch the bow break)
[Pre-Chorus 1]
And I'm sorry I don't believe
By the evidence that I see
That there's any hope left for me
It's evolution, just evolution
[Chorus 1]
And I, I do not dare deny
The basic beast inside
It's right here, it's controlling my mind
And why do I deserve to die?
I'm dominated by this animal that's locked up inside
[Verse 2]
Close up to get a real good view
I'm betting that the species will survive
Pull back, I'm getting inside you
(Evolution)
And when we're gonna find these bones
They're gonna wanna keep them in a jar
The number one virus caused by (Procreation)
[Pre-Chorus 2]
And the planet may go astray
In a million years, I say
Those motherfuckers were all deranged
It's evolution, just evolution
[Chorus 1]
And I, I do not dare deny
The basic beast inside
It's right here, it's controlling my mind
And why do I deserve to die?
I'm dominated by this animal that’s locked up inside
[Bridge]
Take a look around (Take a look around, take a look around, take a look around, take a look around, take a look around)
Nothing much has changed (Take a look around, take a look around, take a look around, take a look around)
Take a look around (Take a look around, take a look around, take a look around, take a look around, take a look around)
Nothing much has changed (Take a look around, take a look around, take a look around, take a look around!)
Take a look around
Take a look around
Take a look around (Nothing much has changed)
Take a look around
Take a look around (Nothing much has changed)
Take a look around
Take a look around (Nothing much has changed)
Take a look around
[Chorus 2]
I, I do not dare deny
The basic beast inside
It's right here, it's controlling my mind
And why do I deserve to die?
I'm dominated by this animal that's locked up inside
[Outro]
Why?
Why do I deserve to die?
