Blind-
This song refers to when Jon was younger and he did drugs.
"Another Place I find to escape the pain inside"
The drugs helped him get away from all the pain in his life.
"See Through the grey that Clouds my mind"
He wants to get away from all the drugs in his life. But he's not confident enough to do it. He wants to start his life over again but does not know how. He uses the drugs to do it for him.
Ball Toungue-
"The meaning of ball tongue is simple. Some thought it had to do with oral sex, but infact its about a guy we had to work with on a t-shirt. He either had a pierced tongue or a wart or something on his tongue and he was a dick to us" Jon Davis
Need To-
This song is about relationships. When you are too frightened that if you get to close then the other person may stop loving you.
"You pull me closer, I push you away, You tell me it's okay, I can't help but feel the pain"
Jon was used to being betrayed by people he had loved. He thought that in all his future relationships. So anytime he thought he was geting too close he'd just push away.
"I hate you...fuck you bitch."
Jon hates the girl even before she has done anything, because he is so sure that she is going to break his heart.
Clown-
Before they were famous they were on the road doing a show when some asshole yelled "FUCK YOU GO BACK TO BAKERSFIELD!!" When he attemped to swing at Jon their road manager Jeff, aka Care Bear, knocked the mother fucker out.
Divine-
Jon wanted someone who didnt want him and then later on he found out that they wanted him now.
"You're suffering 'cause of me, it's divine"
"Did you really think you'd beat me at my own game"
He wants her to know how it feels to love someone that you cant have. Now that she does like him and he has no interest in her he is going to take advantage of her and have fun.
"You know what, Fuck you, I'm fed up with you, I'm not as good as you, Fuck no, I'm better than you"
Jon is gonna show her that hes better then her. And he cant be played around with like a toy. So hes basically showing her that hes better then her.
Faget-
"Everyone thinks I'm bashing gay people in this song, and I'm not. It's really about me going through highschool being called 'pussy', 'queer', and all that stuff, about getting picked on by all these jocks." - Jonathan Davis
Spend any time with Davis and one is likely to be subjected to an endless barrage of queer references and gay jokes. But what might initially come across as small-town homophobia turns out to be something more, a by-product of a lifetime of sexual confusion. One Davis-penned song, entitled "Faget," reflects on time spent as a Duran Duran-loving New Romantic, when the singer would don makeup and hang out in gay bars. "Everyone thought I was gay my whole life," says Davis, "so I have to joke about it just to deal with it." - Spin
Shoots And Ladders-
"It was written because all these little kids sing these nursery rhymes and they don't know what they originally meant. Everyone is so happy when singing but 'London Bridge' is about the Black Plague. All of them have these evil stories behind them." "The lyrics are all from nursery rhymes, and a lot of nursery rhymes go back to the Middle Ages. They're actually pretty twisted if you know the stories behind them, like about Black Death and stuff." - Jonathan Davis
Predictable-
This is kind of the same thing as Divine. He is just explaining that it is so predictable that she is just another ruin in to his life.
Fake-
This song explains that they are all just fake. Its not fair that Jon is harassed for being himself rather then just another person trying to fit in the crowd.
Lies-
Just like Fake. Jon explains that them too will be harassed if they step outside the line of individuality.
Helmet In The Bush-
"It's about a speed problem that I had. You know, you do a lot of speed and -- if you're a male -- your penis retracts severly." In the song he says: 'Please God let me sleep tonight.' Jonathan had trouble sleeping, becuase that's what it does to you. The guy heard at the beggining of the song is La Caco, a friend of the band. His real name is Michael and like taco bell. He's a really Nice Guy and he has been friends with the band for years." - Jonathan Davis
Daddy-
"People think Daddy was written because my dad fucked me up the ass, but that's not what the song's about. It wasn't about my dad or my mom. When I was a kid I was being abused by someone else and I went to my parents and told them about it. They thought I was lying and joking around, so they never did shit about it. They didn't belive it was happening to their son." - Jonathan Davis
