“Ass Itch” Is about lead singer Jonathan Davis losing motivation to write music because he feels like it’s taking over his life.
[Verse 1]
I hate writing shit, it is so stupid
What's my problem today?
Maybe I'm depressed, maybe I'm helpless
To what comes out my pen
[Pre-Chorus]
Pain!
Pain!
Pain!
Pain!
[Verse 2]
I hate writing shit, it is so stupid
Why do I feel this way?
Feelings in my heart, I'm in way too far
Can't it, won't go away?
[Pre-Chorus]
Pain!
Pain!
Pain!
Pain!
[Chorus]
Before long, my song is dying
Before long, my song is dying
[Verse 3]
I hate writing shit, ain't looking forward to it
What's fucked up today?
Writing all this time, feeling all that's mine
Come right out my hand
[Pre-Chorus]
Pain!
Pain!
Pain!
Pain!
[Chorus]
Before long, my song is dying
Before long, my song is dying
[Bridge]
Tell me now, I want to know
Is it me inside you see?
Life isn't fair, I got a little son
Now set me free
[Refrain]
Set me free!
Just set me free!
Just set me free!
Just set me free!
It just set me free!
It just set me free!
It just set me free!
It just set me free!
It just set me free!
It just set me free!
It just set me free!
It just set me free!
[Chorus]
Before long, my song is dying
Before long, my song is dying
[Outro]
That's why I died
That's why I try!
