Jonathan Davis:

" 'All I want in life is to be happy', it's that simple. People say that it's become their own anthem. It's like

whenever I start to feel good, something comes and takes it away and I feel like I'm nothing again, like I'm

dead."

Jonathan Davis:

"The song is about domestic abuse and that there ways to get help whether it's telling someone or calling a

help line, there are ways to get out of those situations. No one has to be treated like that."

Jonathan Davis:

"'Trash' is about how I threw my world and everything out. I threw her away. I threw my old self away. It

basically comes back down to the sex thing. The battles I did on the road, this whole album is what I went

through because I was on the road and I went crazy."

"Am I still damned to a life, of misery and hate?" "You will never know, What I've done for you" Davis is

questioning his fate, and if his accomplishments will amount to anything/be appreciated.

Jonathan Davis:

"'Beg For Me' is more of an angry thing because the whole thing for "Beg For Me" is the crowd. The only time

I was good on tour was when I walked up onstage and that's what the song is about. Feeling wanted is

something one thing I've always needed. I was shuffled around so much when I was a kid...Being up onstage

was the only point was the only time when my anxiety would go away for an hour."

Jonathan Davis:

"'I need to feel the sickness in you' ... It's spawned from f**kin', basically, from having

sex. That's where

that line comes from, but it means a whole bunch of things to me. "Make Me Bad" was about the battles I

had being on the road, being married and being with other women. I'm not married anymore...because of my

lifestyle, and I just couldn't do that to my wife anymore. So that ended. But does it make me bad that I

have a dick and I have f**ken other feelings to be with other people? Why should I be with just one? It

seems like human beings are genetically engineered to procreate. That's what we do, f**k everything, and

that's what our natural insides want to do. It is hard to find someone like that. But she was a good woman

and I didn't want to keep on... I did the right thing, I was a man about it. It was better for me to tell her

and let her go on with her life and find someone who could help her and be like that. So that song was

spawned by that, does it make me bad to want to be with other women? In a sense it was

my only drug,

why... because I don't drink anymore, I cant drink. I've been sober for a year. I don't have any other vices. So

at least doing that could be something."

It's Gonna Go Away. The Pressure of life is going to go away......(via death?)

Jonathan may be talking about the feuds the happen between different artists (especially since it was

written during times of band feud, family values area). "I'm not happy I wish they just...Wake the f**k up!"

They need to realize that rivalries are stupid and "Wake Up" to common sense. "What are we fighting for?

You are my brothers.....Please just let it go....Let's just take the stage....And remember why we play for."

(play music for the right reason, not to fight among themselves.)

Am I Going Crazy?.....

Jonathan Davis:

"'Hey Daddy' where I was schizophrenic and there were these voices telling me to do sh*t... To kill myself,

basically. Daddy is one of my nicknames, so its like I'm talking to myself the whole time. It's hard to

explain."

I need Somebody..Someone "Inside to help me out" He needs Somebody Someone.

"So I came too far...To end up this way...Feeling like I'm God...Feeling is no way...To live this way." There is

no way he can live with people "Picking at me...Ripping at me."

"I want to be the one...To make myself sign"

John wishes someone else could be him to see how he is ripped and sold. "At least you could look at me While

you are ripping me...You are taking my life and selling it."

He is counting the days that his feelings will no longer be taken advantage off. That time when "One day you'll beg for me."

Jonathan Davis:

"I feel like a f**king whore to record companies." "You know how it is...the way we are used and marketed."

"How they make all the money off us and we don't make sh*t!" "The only way we make money is to go out

on tour and sell merchandise" "Basically we write all the music and turn in and they make all the money." "So

I feel like that and also I feel like a sl*t cuz I'd go out at night and f**king girls and so I said f**k it, I'm

going to do it. The only way to escape is to have sex." "Its all kind of different issues."
