when he was a child, or is it a far stretch of his imagination? For an example, the lyrics of “Daddy” indicated extreme sexual abuse from a father figure. According to what source you read, it either was his Dad or step Dad, or it was somebody else close to the family.

I’ve never been a fan of Korn or most of the bands of that sort of genre, but I saw a Guitar Center Sessions program featuring the band, and it got me wondering about it all.

Lyrics to “Daddy”,but I’d note that some folks would find them offensive…

He says he was abused by a female friend of the family, and the title of the song refers to his father not believing him and/or not doing anything about it.

Wiki article here, I’ve read a fair few interviews that say similar things.

So, based on his experiences but not directly autobiographical.
