Jonathan Davis - “A lot of people dwell on the past, and they feel guilt. There’s nothing you can do about the past because it’s gone, and it’s blown up. We’re here now.” During an interview with Artist Direct, Davis was asked if there is a lyric on this album that he is particularly proud of. The singer replied: “One that stands out is, ‘Love without affection is like hate without the pain. Life is a connection separate from the brain.’ I like that one. When I do lyrics, every song is done in like a half-hour. When I write, I just let it flow. It fucking comes out, and I do it. I don’t second-guess it. I don’t spend time sitting there and trying to make it better or anything; that’s why I think it’s so real. The shit flows out, and I let it go. It’s stream-of-consciousness, and it’s simply real. I remember Ross Robinson (producer) saying he was so happy that I trusted myself to put down what was coming out of my head on paper, and there’s no one singing it. A lot of other vocalists spend hours and days on lyrics just rewriting and rewriting trying to be so fucking poetic. That’s not me. I try to get my point across in my own way and let it go.”
