According to vocalist and songwriter, Jonathan Davis, “Helmet In The Bush” is about his speed addiction:
It’s about a speed problem that I had. You know, you do a lot of speed and, if you’re a male, your penis retracts severely.

[Spoken Intro: Michael "La Caco"]
Hello. ¿Esta Caco?
¿Et eres Caco?
Pues, you know, you fuckin' call me "La Caco?" Okay?
[Verse 1]
I keep asking, "What's your lie?"
It is disturbing, this eases my mind
Days keep passing, one notch at a time
I don't feel right, please, God, let me sleep tonight
[Chorus]
Every day confronted, so called friends giving in
I just wanna know why
Want to give it up, no, I can't escape
Want to give it up, no, I can't escape
Want to give it up, no, I can't escape
Want to give it up, no, I can't escape
[Verse 2]
I keep asking, "Will you again please try?"
It is haunting, this takes my mind
Days keep passing, line after line
I don't feel right, please, God, don't let me die tonight
Die tonight
Die tonight
Die tonight
[Chorus]
Every day confronted, so called friends giving in
I just wanna know why
Want to give it up, no, I can't escape
Want to give it up, no, I can't escape
Want to give it up, no, I can't escape
Want to give it up, no, I can't escape
[Bridge]
Please, God
Please, God
Please, God, help me
Please, God, free me
Please, God, help me from my painful situation
Please, God, help me
Please, God, free me
Please, God, save me from my painful situation
Please, God, help me
Please, God, free me
Please, God, save me from my painful situation
[Outro]
Please, God, don't let me give in tonight, please God
Oh, please God, don't let me give in tonight, please God
Oh, please God, don't let me give in tonight, don't let me die
Please God, don't let me give in tonight, don't let me die
