Jonathan Davis - What It Is Lyrics






Pretty soon you have to deal
With the truth behind the way you feel
And I'd rather never know

I would do anything anything
Not to bring who I am to meet me
This useless suffering
Ugly part of me is screwing me
As it feeds me

But it is what it is
You don't know how to live with what it is
But it is what it is
It may seem impossible
But I will embrace who I really am
If it's a son of a bitch or a terrified kid
Then that's what it is

Pretty soon you'll have to face
You're a virus called the human race
And I'll never never know

I have done everything everything
Not to feel what it is I'm feeling
This basement devil is kicking the ass
Of my angel on the ceiling

But it is what it is
You don't know how to live with what it is
But it is what it is
It may seem impossible
But I will embrace who I really am
If it's a son of a bitch or a terrified kid
Then that's what it is

Don't push me, don't kill me
What it is cause it is what it is
Don't play games, don't mess with
What it is cause it is what it is
Don't ask me, don't tell me
What it is cause it is what it is
Don't push me, don't kill me
What it is cause it is what it is
Don't run from where you come from
Cause it is what it is
And I
And I

But it is what it is
You don't know how to live with what it is
But it is what it is
It may seem impossible
But I will embrace who I really am
If it's a son of a bitch or a terrified kid
Then that's what it is

    Pretty soon you have to deal

    I would do anything, anything

    Ugly part of me is screwing me
    As it feeds me
    But it is what it is
    You don't know how to live with what it is

    You're a virus called the human race
    And I'll never, never know
    I have done everything, everything
    Not to feel what it is I'm feeling
    This basement devil is kicking the ass
    Of my angel on the ceiling
    But it is what it is
    You don't know how to live with what it is

    If it's a son of a bitch or a terrified kid
    Then that's what it is
    Don't push me, don't kill me
    What it is 'cause it is what it is
    Don't play games, don't mess with
    What it is 'cause it is what it is
    Don't ask me, don't tell me
    What it is 'cause it is what it is
    Don't push me, don't kill me
    What it is 'cause it is what it is
    Don't run from where you come from
    'Cause it is what it is
    And I, I
    But it is what it is
    You don't know how to live with what it is
    But it is what it is

    3:10.....that's how my life is going right now......found out my mother has cancer....my life is unraveling...everyone says I have a black hole in my life.....it keeps sucking everything that I love into it.....😓 Before you judge I am disabled with lots of messed up diagnosis.....

    G.... B....

    Isn't a black hole collecting all the energy around it? Maybe you can find a way to use this - make it your own. And please don't be scared of the judgment by others - the judgement to be scared of will always be your own. Hang in!

    G.... B....

    @Chaze 00 Thank you dear soul.....your kind words have actually helped think of it in a different way. Much love to you ....surrounding you!

  54. B.... H....

    So he went solo? Good song.

  55. H.... ....

    To me, this is about living with depression. Embracing it. Facing the world feeling like a total alien. No matter how you try to change to make yourself feel like a different person, you will just keep coming back to it.

  56. N.... N....

    What it is is a sharp dry booger cutting up my nose

  57. L.... m....

    What it is??? A freaking awesome song ....such power of such amazing talent ....gifts that are received..... Remarkably done with a true force of nature ....

  58. C.... ....

    Been listening to Jonathan Davis since the 90's

  59. M.... N....

    This song saves my life every f.ckin' day. I have a very ugly personality disorder, because of many traumas in my life, and this beautiful song gives me strength and hope that maybe I'm not so alone on this planet as I always tought. Thank you very much! Love, peace...

    M.... N....

    I'm sorry that you've been hurt in such a profound way. Many in my family are personality disordered and they struggle. I have some traits, but not a full blown case. Struggle with genetic depression, anxiety, and my son's profound autism. Mental illness is cruel and needs to be treated with the same level of seriousness and respect that physical diseases like cancer, diabetes, and heart disease do. I teach at university in the psych department and I make it my mission to humanize mental illness. Nothing sickens me more than a person being disrespectful of someone else's mental trauma or pain...as if it is an amusement. Sadly, many people who are lucky enough to have escaped it or had Gene's to counteract it are often blissfully unaware of the hell that depression and other disorders cause those of us who aren't so lucky. I don't know you, but wherever you are I am thinking of you and hoping you heal with time. You are not alone. Take care of yourself.

    M.... N....

    @annmarieknapp thank you! 💕 I'm sorry for your family! I know it's hard. Sometimes it's like screaming inside all the time. And I know it's painful for the family. I am bloody borderline since I was 17-18. I'm 44 years old now. I was (rightly) diagnostized first 5 years ago. 😌 (#Hungary) In the same time I ended up with a narcissistic. 👌 Good girl! Congrats! 😄 It took 3 years till I understood what it is... 😔💔 And I escaped. Survived. And I'm wiser. But I am alive and dead at the same time. A sad little child and a wise and tired old woman. But sometimes hopeful and naive. And sometimes so angry.. 👿 And sometimes a bitch. Because the hurt me. They make me do it, but the don't realize. Yes, I'm a freak. I know. And I try. But I think they don't feel anything. 😔

    M.... N....

    @Marietta Németh I'm sorry Hon. Half of the battle is knowing what you're dealing with. You can't change how you were wronged back in time, but the monsters who hurt you don't get the right to keep doing it now. You can and should forgive yourself for being human and feeling the way you do. No one gets the right to tell you how to feel except you. Screw that! But, at the same time, love yourself enough to let to of the pain your were caused. And it isn't because the monsters deserve it, its because you deserve some peace and happiness. They have hurt you, but that stops now. You have the right to choose to be happy because you deserve it. Forgiveness isn't for the other person or people, it's for you to be okay living in your own skin.

    this song is so painfu and inspirational at the same time... I have had a wonderful life and still do, no real troubles, no bad thoughts. I`m a happy person, but the way John and the Korn boys convey their demons makes appreciate my life and really care for people less happy than me...
    If you need help, just to talk or just to let whatever bothers you out... I`m here

    Great song! I love your music both solo and with Korn. I was never the popular kid throughout my life. Your music helped keep me going. You rock man!

  70. B.... B....

    He always knows how to get to the heart of your soul and helps heal and sooth it. If it wasn't for his music and his work I wouldn't be here. I lost a set of twins in 97 and his music helped me through those dark days. So much so that I named my son Jonathan after him. Also how is it he keeps getting hotter as he ages?

  71. A.... W....

    Damn Son
