Rotting in Vain Lyrics
I wouldn't be angry if you'd just fucking cry
Your tears would arouse me, refreshing my supply
The suffering is fading, I scream into the sky
Repulsion invades me, I say goodbye
[Chorus]
Digging deep inside of me
Getting past this agony
I can't seem to get away
Another day rotting in vain
[Verse 2]
I wouldn't be angry if things would stay the same
You're fighting the torment that helps me feed my pain
The suffering is fading, I scream into the sky
Repulsion invades me, I say goodbye
[Chorus]
Digging deep inside of me
Getting past this agony
I can't seem to get away
Another day rotting in...
[Bridge]
I can't hear this (scat singing)
I can't fuck it (scat singing)
I can't take this (scat singing)
I hate... (scat singing)
Digging deep inside of me
Getting past this agony
I can't seem to get away
Another day rotting in...
Digging deep inside of me
Getting past this agony
I can't seem to get away
Another day rotting in vain

From a Rolling Stone interview, Jonathan Davis states,
‘Rotting in Vain’ was written about being in that black place, being in situations that I don’t like in life – be it relationships, or feeling when you’re stuck and you’re just being abused or you don’t like where you’re at, and you just sit there and rot[…]It takes you years and years to figure out how to claw your way out. That’s where ‘Rotting in Vain’ came from. I’m just sitting there, fucking dying and letting it happen for years and years and not helping myself to get out of that place. That’s the vibe that inspired the song
