You thought a lighthearted, party-oriented Nu Metal band like this wouldn’t have scary moments? WRONG.
  • The music video for "Re-arranged," which features the band being scapegoated for Woodstock '99, and they are executed by being drowned in a flood chamber.
  • The humanoids on the cover art for Chocolate Starfish And The Hot Dog Flavored Water are nothing short of Uncanny Valley.
  • The Surreal Music Video for "Boiler," some scenes in particular include:
  • "The Priest" off of The Unquestionable Truth, which might just be not only the darkest song that Limp Bizkit ever wrote, but one of the darkest metal songs ever. Similar to most of the EP, the song lacks all of the hamminess and fun that they are usually known for and is played completely serious throughout. The song describes a Crapsack World where it is scarily accurate to real life.
    Oh, what's this world coming to?
    I see someone in rage, killing Dimebag on stage
    What the fuck is this? What the fuck is this?
    I got a kid
    Should I send him to Sunday School?
    I got a kid
    Should I send him to Sunday School
    So you can FUCK HIM?
    • In general, most of the lyrical content on The Unquestionable Truth is pretty disturbing, particularly the mention of selling propaganda to the innocent on "The Propaganda."
  • The intro track to "Gold Cobra." It simply features a loud blaring sound, complete with people screaming in terror. Not to mention the Last Note Nightmare at the end.
  • The track "You Bring Out The Worst In Me," from "Still Sucks" could be considered this. Never before has Fred’s voice sounded so threatening.
