 The guitar during the verse plays in using a 2+2+2 phrasing while the heavy part ("somewhere between the sacred silence and sleep") makes use of a hemiola with the guitar switching to a 3+3+3+3 pattern while the drums remain in compound duple meter until the bridge.The song was ranked number 14 on VH1's 40 Greatest Metal Songs, and was called a nu metal classic by "Stylus Magazine".The video was directed by Marcos Siega and Shavo Odadjian.
