Pepper Keenan: It’s just this crazy song that evolved. In the southern United States a backslider is some one who knows the ways of God and still chooses to turn his/her back on it. There’s a lot of hypocritical in that type of religion, especially down south. I was just taking little observations of that. How they treat each other, how they treat other people, without giving a history lesson. It’s a good topic to tackle. It had a lot of imagery in it. It’s a cool song.
