Songfacts®:

  • The Path of Totality is comprised entirely of songs made with electronic music producers. This track features production from Los Angeles based drum and bass knob twiddler and DJ 12th Planet, along with dubstep producers Flinch and Downlink.
  • Frontman Jonathan Davis told Billboard magazine: "I didn't really have hope for that track to begin with, then it really came around. We laid the vocals down, just smooth. I love the groove, the tempo of it. And it's huge - it's one of the hugest tracks on the album."
  • Video director Joshua Allen was the man behind the lens for the song's comically surreal visual, which shows each of the band members going "Way Too Far." Allen also helmed the clip for "Chaos Lives in Everything."
  • Jonathan Davis explained the song's meaning to Artist Direct: "It's about human beings and myself," he said, " it's about myself; sometimes I do take things way too far, something so stupid I shouldn't waste my energy on – I'll freak out and make it into something humongous when it should be nothing. I think a lot of people can relate to that."
