Lyrical themes
At the beginning of the song, Chad Gray repeats "All work and no play makes me a dull boy" four times, elevating his voice from a whisper to a scream with each repetition. This is a reference to The Shining. The band has stated in numerous interviews that Stanley Kubrick is Mudvayne's favorite director.
Video
For the video the band made a green screen contest in which they record themselves in a green screen and upload it to their website so that anyone can do their own version of the video and upload it.
