[edit] Music and structure
The song is nearly six minutes long, and does not really conform to a set structure, being more amorphous in style.
[edit] Concept
Lead singer Jonathan Davis has stated that the song was inspired by his childhood, in which he was bullied by unidentified individuals and called a "faget" (intentional misspelling of the insult faggot).
"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."[1] – Jonathan Davis
[edit] Music video
Like "Good God", a song from Korn's second studio album, Life Is Peachy, a video for this song was shot, but was never officially released, nor was the song released as a single, probably because of incessant profanities. The video can be seen in Korn's first documentary video, Who Then Now?, which also features in their 2002 DVD release, Deuce. It simply features the band playing the song in a red-curtained room.
