Jonathan Davis has stated that the song is about his painful experience of being molested as a child and not being believed.

However, he denied it was about physical or sexual abuse at the hands of his father, and the title and some concepts within the song stem from his parents not believing him.

The song caused many to assume Rick Davis (Jonathan’s father) had molested his son. It is a source of embarrassment for him, though his son has gone on the record in many interviews saying it was written about a family friend who sexually abused him. When a 12-year-old Jonathan tried to turn to his family, he said, they ignored him. Neither Jonathan nor Rick will say who the person was, though both say it was a woman.

In an early Kerrang! magazine interview, Jonathan was asked about the song, responding:

“When I was a kid, I was being abused by somebody else and I went to my parents and told them about it, and they thought I was lying and joking around. They never did shit about it. They didn’t believe it was happening to their son…. I don’t really like to talk about that song. This is as much as I’ve ever talked about it….” – Jonathan Davis
