| Jacoby: This is about a conversation that me and my friend Sid Wilson, the DJ from Slipknot, had. It's, like, "Okay, I'm sick of this skin; I'm sick of this body. I want to trade it in. I want to be a different person. I want to move on to the next life." Then the chorus is: "Biological, spiritual, electrical, digital." The biological is the body, and the spiritual is our soul. What the soul is to our body is what the digital is to the electrical - it's the zeroes and ones. If you meld them perfectly together, biological/spiritual and electrical/digital, you'll have this singular indestructible droid. This person gave up his soul to live forever, but to live forever in a physical instead of a spiritual being. The song is also about man's use of the electrical/digital to his advantage or his destruction. It's the clash of the two. Dave: We asked my uncle, John Olmedo, and his Indian Vocal Group to come into the studio. They sat around the drum, did the chanting and the singing, and we just turned on the mic and recorded them. The next day I was listening to the playback. The song we were working on was "SID." I was listening to the Indian chant, and the tempo totally matched up with "SID." It also felt right thematically: The chant was written by a member of the group. He was having a child, and the song was written to welcome this new life into the world. So when we put it with "SID" - where you hear Coby singing, 'Blood of my blood, skin of my skin' - in this weird way, it matches up with the meaning of this Indian chant.
