    This is what you can find about the song and what ball tongue means in this case.
    - This song is about a man who worked with the band on T-Shirt designs. He did work with the band but he was the band's main meth supply during the first CD when they all did meth behind each other's back. The reason he was called Ball Tongue because he would get so high on meth he would sit, eyes wandering aimlessly with his tongue hanging out in a ball. As is common with heavy methamphetamine users. Ball Tongue eventually turned on them, stealing electronics and other musical instruments, hence the lyrics "You were my brother, the friendship ends."

    the guitarist, Head, is the one yelling "ball tounge" definitely Trash or Seed should be the next song and yes its a song done on meth but the real song about meth related subject from them is called"Helmet in a bush"..Head had a huge problem with meth which led him to leaving the band in 2004 leading him to becoming a Christian but then luckily for us fans coming back to korn in 2013 check "Love and meth" from them thats the album where he came back

    Ball Tongue" is the second track off their debut self-titled album, Korn. This song is about a man who worked with the band on T-Shirt designs. In Brian "Head" Welch's book "Save Me From Myself," he specifically comments on Ball Tongue. He did work with the band but he was the band's main meth supply during the first CD when they all did meth behind each other's back. The reason he was called Ball Tongue because he would get so high on meth he would sit, eyes wandering aimlessly with his tongue hanging out in a ball. As is common with heavy methamphetamine users.

    I never considered Korn nu metal. I always considered them Korn. They are their own genre lol. Nu metal is what came after them but they themselves, are not nu metal. That is a disservice to the originality Korn brought starting in 1993 (or 1994 with the official release). You should react to more from the first album like Clown, Divine, Faget, Lies, Helmet in the bush... the whole album!

      Idk man Korn is pretty nu metal. In this song specifically the guitars are mimicking a DJ and the bassline is straight outta hip hop. This is definitely nu metal.

    One might say, KoRn invented mumble rap, a decade before - people even tried copying them in their own genre of music.....
