Twist
Basically Gibberish, yet
some words can be made out.

Chi
Jonathan Davis:
"Chi is about a lot of alcohol and drug abuse. People turn to that when they
have problems so that they won't have to feel their pain. The song was named
after Chi Cheng from the Deftones. We named it after him because he used to
call it reggae, and he loves reggae music."

Lost
Jonathan Davis:
"It's the stereotypical thing about your best friend meeting a chick, and then
you're nothing."

Swallow
Jonathan Davis:
"That's about being paranoid. Drug-induced paranoia."
top
Porno
Creep
A melodic instrumental song, "Pleasant things I feel."
It's kind of a soothing interlude.

Good
God
Jonathan Davis:
"It's about a guy I knew in school who I thought was a my friend, but who
fucked me. He came into my life with nothing, hung out at my house, lived off
me, and made me do shit I didn't really wanna do." "I was into new romantic
music and he was a mod, and he'd tell me if I didn't dress like a mod he
wouldn't be my friend anymore."
"Whenever I had plans to go on a date with a chick he'd sabotage it, because
he didn't have a date or nothing. He was a gutless fucking nothing. I haven't
talked to him for years."

Mr.
Rogers
Jonathan Davis:
"Back in the day when I was a speed freak, um... even further back when I
was a little kid watchin' Mr. Rogers, that shit was scary. He was a freaky old
man... Land of Make Believe and Mr. fuckin McFeely and shit... made me
sick. So back when I was doing speed, like for 5 or 6 days I'd be trippin out
and my brain would start to get freaky and get schizophrenic and stuff, and I'd
tape it and watch it everyday over and over... I don't know, I was sick in the
head. As a kid he told me to be polite and all it did was get me picked on. I
fucking hate that man. Thanks for making me polite and trusting everyone,
and easy to take advantage of. So I spent 3 months on that one song, just tweakin' on it, and it was totally just my Mr. Rogers obsession, about how evil
I thought he was. Pretty much drug induced."

K
@ # Ø % (Kunt)
Jonathan Davis:
"People think it's sexist but it isn't. It's more subconscious bitching at all the
women who've been with me in my life. It's not about women in general, just
those women who hurt me." "Initially, we wrote it to send to American radio
for a joke, because they always chop up all the other songs. So we were going
to send a 'real' single seven days later."

No
Place to Hide
Can be seen as Jon feeling he is raped by the music industry to make money.
(insert your own meaning...) There's no place to hide from having what he is
taken.

Wicked
Originally an Ice Cube from the Predator album. Sung by Chino Moreno of
the Deftones.

A.D.I.D.A.S.
Jonathan Davis:
"It stands for all day I dream about sex. It's about how much of a pervert
my ass is, and how I day-dream about what a stud I am. But when it comes down
to it, I'm a fucking pussy and I'm in there jacking off."

Lowrider
Originally by War, it was sung by Head on his birthday. Head is trying to
imitate 80's rap artist Tone Loc.

Ass
Itch
Jonathan Davis:
"That was the last song I wrote, and I was so burned at writing out lyrics
because every time I write I get depressed because I start thinking about
things, you know? So the whole song is about that. In the chorus it says, 'Before day, my sun will be dying'. It's because I put myself on the line all thetime and for what? Because people aren't going to be listening to it anyway."

Kill
You
Jonathan Davis:
"It's about a relative I first met when I was 12. I fucking hate that
bitch. She's
the most evil, fucked up person I've met in my whole life. She hated my guts.
She did everything she could to make my life hell. Like, when I was sick she'd
feed me tea with Tabasco, which is really hot pepper oil. She'd make me drink
it and say, 'You have to burn that cold out, boy'. fucked up shit like that. So
every night when I'd go to sleep, I'd dream of killing that bitch. In some sick
way I had a sexual fantasy about her, and I don't know what that stems from
or why, but I always dreamt about fucking her and killing her."
