"Falling Away from Me" is a song by American nu metal band Korn. It was released as the first single from their fourth album Issues, where it appeared in an episode of Comedy Central's animated series, South Park, entitled
"Korn's Groovy Pirate Ghost Mystery". The song went on to become one of Korn's most popular singles, with an anti-domestic abuse themed video topping MTV's Total Request Live for ten days.
"Falling Away from Me" 174
Concept
Jonathan Davis explained;
"The song is about domestic abuse and that there are ways to get help whether it's telling someone or calling a help line, there are ways to get out of those situations. No one has to be treated like that."
Music video
The video, which received its world premiere on MTV in November 1999 during Spankin' New Music Week,[1] was directed by Limp Bizkit singer Fred Durst. It begins as a continuation of the famous video for "Freak on a Leash", starting with its closing animation. The video shows a young woman clearly distraught by an abuser (her father).
Inside her room, she opens a box and appears to see the band inside, performing below hanging lightbulbs. The band is then surrounded by flashes of green electricity, and then appear inside her bedroom with flashes of red electricity.
A crowd of young people have gathered outside the window, raising their arms in time to the beat. As her father angrily approaches her room with a switch in his hand, someone appears outside her window and helps her get outside. She leaves the house as the song ends and the crowd scatters. The band dissolves into red electricity and goes straight back into the box in her hands. She then runs off into the night.
In the original version of the video, shortly before the band disappears into the box (once the teenage girl escapes through the window), Fred Durst made a "cameo" appearance in the video - his face appearing for a brief moment during one of the close-up shots of Jonathan Davis. Due to reasons which are somewhat unclear (it's rumoured that Davis spotted the cameo and objected), subsequent versions of the video have had the Fred Durst cameo removed.
