Mushroomhead everyone s got one only mix
Singles
Insomniac", "I Can't Imagine The World Without Me" and "Close… But"" were all released as singles, and "Bellyache" was released as an EP. This EP also contained "Give her a gun". Videos were made for all of the singles (besides "Bellyache").
Album meaning
The album's title was fuelled by Sonya's fascination for wordplay. It was titled so that the first letter of each word spelled "EGO", a common theme throughout the album.
Song Meanings
Source:
Today, Tomorrow, Sometime, Never
This song is about Sonya's feeling of alienation, because of the fact she is Indian. In an Interview, Sonya said "Even though I have a brown skin, I didn't feel Asian. I felt alien".
Father Ruler King Computer
This song is about her anger towards arranged marriages. "I was brought up, I've been told, that a husband is the goal. What connotations in these loaded words, a spinster and a bachelor, I am whole all by myself, I don't need nobody else"
Give Her A Gun
Sonya feels that men have too much power and woman should have more power. The title is a metaphor for this, saying that woman should have guns. This suggests she even wants woman to be more powerful.
I Can't Imagine The World Without Me
This shows Sonya's self-confidence, hence the name.
Bellyache
This song is about the pain a friend of Sonya's went through when having an abortion.
Call Me Names
This song, similar to "Today, Tomorrow, Sometime Never", also expresses Sonya's feeling of alienation, but the lyrics are more obvious. "Outside, you will come out and play with me, I've been scrubbing at my skin you see but the colour remains on me . . . . I don't know, is it the same for everyone? Maybe that i've done something wrong. Why do you call me names?"
Close... But
In this song Sonya tries to express her feeling off loneliness, despite all of the friends that she was getting to know around this time.
