Here's a quote from Jacoby :
'"Dead Cell" is about kids who are infected with the "dead cell" virus, people like the Columbine kids who shot up the school: "Born with no soul/ Lack of control." It's about the kids who do these crazy-ass, stupid things. Some kids are just fucked up. I have a center - I know what's right or wrong - but some kids are born "dead cells." Maybe they don't have a good family and they grow up on the Internet or playing video games, all the "shoot 'em up" stuff. But you can't point a finger at one thing; it's a combination of the family, the government, and the media. When I say, "Let me hear the dead cells shout" during a show, I'm mocking the fact that there's a lot of them out there. '
I may be as fucked in the head as any other Papa Roach fan, but I can't relate to that. I guess insulting was the wrong word, but what he meant by dead cell was much more fucked up than anyone could imagine. It goes beyond being an outsider. It's about being mentally fucked to the point of murdering. It's not something that I would like being associated with, and I'm pretty sure neither would you.
