“The Darkness is Revealing” is the fourth track on Korn’s 2019 album “The Nothing”. In the song, Jonathan expresses confusion regarding his emotional state, not knowing whether it’s a new beginning (as stated in the chorus) or something genuinely trying to kill him.

[Verse 1]
Here behind the curtain lies a darkness feeding
Pooled inside, in hunger cries, and still it's eating
Everything I had to hide is all on my sleeve
And behind the curtain lies my soul, I’m bleeding
[Pre-Chorus]
And I see it
Can't believe it
And the sun goes down
Taking my heart
[Chorus]
What is this I'm feeling?
Is it a new beginning?
Am I purging past regrets
Facing the hurt I’m dealing?
How does one start healing?
The darkness is revealing
The bittersweet reality
That this is the help I'm needing
[Verse 2]
Why must I be bastardized? My essence flees
Search my mind and all I find is banded feelings
Once you pull the bandage off, you feel the sting
Only way to fix it is through painful suffering
[Pre-Chorus]
And I see it
Can't believe it
And the sun goes down
Taking my heart
[Chorus]
What is this I'm feeling?
Is it a new beginning?
Am I purging past regrets
Facing the hurt I'm dealing?
How does one start healing?
The darkness is revealing
The bittersweet reality
That this is the help I'm needing
[Bridge]
Take a look around at the morning star, he's coming for me
Take a look around at the morning star, he's coming for me
Take a look around at the morning star, he’s coming for me
Take a look around at the morning star, he’s coming for me
Take a look around at the morning star, he's coming for me
Take a look around at the morning star, he’s coming for me
Take a look around at the morning star, he's coming for me
Take a look around at the morning star, he's coming for me
Is he friend, is he foe, is he high, is he low?
Where the fuck I'm supposed to go?
Where the fuck I’m supposed to go?
Take a look around at the morning star, he's coming for me
Take a look around at the morning star, he's coming for me
Is he friend, is he foe, is he high, is he low?
Where the fuck I'm supposed to go?
Where the fuck I'm supposed to go?
Feel me, heal me
All that's in me
Give it all back
I can't have this
Feeling, failing
All that's creating
[Outro]
Fuck out
Get the fuck out
Get the fuck out
Get the fuck out
Get the fuck out
Get the fuck out
