• This is a track from American Heavy Metal band Korn's ninth studio album, Korn III: Remember Who You Are. Singer and lyricist Jonathan Davis dug deep for this cut. He said: "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 Korn III: Remember Who You Are that he is particularly proud of. The singer and lyricist 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 f--king 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 s--t 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 f--king poetic—that's not me. I try to get my point across in my own way and let it go."
