Full Nelson

Limp Bizkit's 'Full Nelson' is a song that encapsulates the band's signature nu-metal sound and confrontational lyrics. The song addresses the theme of being targeted and talked about negatively by others, a situation that many can relate to. The lyrics express frustration with people who criticize and spread rumors without truly knowing the person they're attacking. The repeated question, 'Why's everybody always picking on me?' suggests a sense of victimization and a desire for understanding.

The chorus of the song, 'You'll get knocked the fuck out! 'Cause your mouth's writing checks that your ass can't cash,' serves as a warning to the detractors. It implies that there will be consequences for their words, suggesting a physical confrontation as a response to verbal attacks. This aggressive stance is typical of Limp Bizkit's style, which often includes themes of rebellion and standing up for oneself. The song's aggressive tone is matched by its heavy guitar riffs and rhythmic intensity, which are characteristic of the nu-metal genre.

The latter part of the song shifts to a broader perspective, questioning why people feel the need to 'verbally rape us with talking' and whether it's possible for everyone to get along. This reflects a deeper commentary on human behavior and the nature of conflict. The song ends with a call to action, 'We've got the fire to burn this motherfucker down,' which can be interpreted as a metaphor for dismantling the structures that allow such negativity to thrive, or simply as a cathartic release of anger and frustration.
