Here To Stay 

Jonathan Davis:
"Here To Stay is basically about being fed up with people taking advantage of you. I wrote it when being angry of basically being born a nice guy. Nice people always get taking advantage off. And lashing out basically I'm tired of this and I'm not going to let you do this to me, I'm here and I want to be this way.

Make Believe

Where ever he goes, something is following him. A deep sorrow comes out of even the things I love. The things that are supposed to bring comfort, just end up bringing more  hatred, and a place full of  broken dreams.

Blame   

Jonathan is tired of people hanging on his every word. In the end, wishing for them to tear him out of there hearts. Wishing to be removed before it's too late. These people live through him, but never get in touch with there true feelings. It's made him go crazy, but they are the one's who really lose. They never lived, and now they are to blame, for inner nothingness (hell) at death. ("a bed of flames", possibly a reference to hell")

Hollow Life    

Hidden, there lies a desire to fall, by your own hand (did your own hole). Existence is spent asking questions, point to the heavens, trying to find something meaningful...where is my God? There are no true answers, life could be just a dream of a dream, so there is peace, and death my have already come.  I'm already dead, awake me?

Bottled Up Inside

Time goes by, and things just get worse. Emotions of helpless keep persisting, and I'm laughed at, while trying to escape them. Hate builds, it's bottled deeply in him. Hoping the sorrow will cease, those laughing would die, and finally let everything out.

Thoughtless    


Its, a song of imagining revenge. How people are made fun of and abused in high school to the point where they snap (like columbine), and the song is  sympathetic with how they must of felt (and how Jon felt and was put down in high school) Fantasizing and half desiring those who hurt him to take a swing, so he could knock them down. Turn the tables around, laugh at them, and make them cry. They just plan pain for him, and took every chance to inflict damage.  Yet, all there trying amounted to nothing, and you see them screaming (He wins).

Hating

Jonathan Davis:
"I mean, basically this whole song is about I've been hating everything for so long, and I think that's just basically negative energy that I've been just putting out."

One More Time

Jonathan Davis:
"It's basically about these feelings always chasing me, like I have an alter-ego."

Alone I Break 

He gave everything he could, but has been drained of the will to go on. Isn't he worth something? He is leaving, destroying all feelings of hurting. Why is it that things fall on him, and he is there alone broken. I get a sense of praying for a sort of death, "heart stops", appears fairly death-like.  There just might be something after, a heaven, instead of just vast empty space.

Embrace

What is there to do, to take, to rape from? He is "falling of the world". Falling is one of the most reoccurring words in untouchables. Jonathan can never escape from the holes (of hate, hurt, depression) . The only way out  is death, "onto death's embrace." Maybe, death is a latter to climb out.

Beat It Upright   

Fieldy:
"It's a booty song, you know, talking about freaky sex, or whatever" It's a kind of a mockery of constant insisting of other people that Jonathan was gay, throughout his life. (homo-erotic undertones) Turning the jokes around, to his advantage.

Wake Up Hate 

Jonathan Davis:
"The whole song is a fuck-off. It's a song about feeling hopeless — how kids have no reason to live anymore. What do they have to fucking live for? Back when I was growing up there were lots of opportunities for kids that seem to have fallen off. They skirt through school and get meaningless jobs or just go kill people and rob and shit. It's about starting a riot — really fucking rebelling."

I'm Hiding   

Everywhere he looks, he feels he's to blame, face peering back, that are only his.  The faces of when he was innocent, and free (before fame). All they do is make fun of him now, how he could "fly".  He wants to hide, but he can't and just remembers what used to be.

No One's There

Somehow, we all die. The sands of time erode any history of us, and we get washed in the sea. Do we get remembered or just replaced? Again people are feeding on Jonathan's feelings, but does anyone care, will anyone even know in the future. He can scream and scream, search and search, yet there is no one there. Sincere emotions remain undiscovered by others, just eating him up inside, until it all ends. No wonder, why " its time to leave these places far behind",  there has to be someone or something out there...
