"Privilege," track 1, deals with people not doing their own thing and waiting around for things to happen versus making it happen yourself. It's hard to confuse lines like, "Isn't it strange that a gift could be an enemy. Isn't it weird that a privilege could feel like a chore. Maybe it's me but this line isn't going anywhere. Maybe if we looked hard enough we could find a back door. The day you were born you were born free. That is your privilege." It's a very powerful song. Track 4, "The Warmth" deals with how the world has the ability to jade a person if they don't remain true to themselves. "Don't let the world bring you down. Not everyone here is that fucked up and cold. Remember why you came and while you're alive experience the world before you grow cold." "Stellar," track 6, now getting airplay all over the nation, is a love song about how a girl makes him feel and effects his life. Brandon Boyd discusses this song in the September issue of Rolling Stone. And track 12, "Pardon Me", also getting a lot of airplay, the best song on the CD in my opinion. "Pardon me while I burst into flame. I had enough of the world and its people's mindless games. Pardon me while I burn and rise above the flames." Few can deny that at times in their life they simply want to explode due to all the seemingly senseless shit that goes on around them. If so, this is your anthem.
