Composition

Jonathan Davis says about the song:

"It's about me watching people who are so narcissistic destroy themselves. They basically eat themselves alive because of their narcissism. That's the gist of the story."

Music video

The band filmed a music video for the track on September 27, 2011 at the legendary Roxy Theatre in Hollywood. The first 125 fans to show up got in for free to attend the shoot. It was directed and produced by ShadowMachine Films, best known for the Adult Swim television programs, Robot Chicken and Moral Orel.[1] The video was officially released on October 21, 2011.
