Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ain't it funny how time flies, huh?
Out of sight, out of mind (yeah right)
Once again back it's the incredible
Subliminal the incredible d
Once down in the dirt,
Now I ain't even gotta shave
When I'm goin' to work
Tomorrow I'll be sippin' on some pedialite (c'mon)
Rock, rock to the planet rock, don't stop (c'mon)
Rock, rock to the planet rock, don't stop (c'mon)
Ain't it funny how time flies, huh?
Chit chatter, that shit don't matter
Check the flow, I organically grow,
Like the weed I for sheezy, be letting ya know
Oh yeah, kinda feelin' horny,
Who that is? what it say? what it look like?
20 eyes in my head misfit,
And I ain't never gonna change. (c'mon)
[Chorus]
? don't think you know
What the hell I'm all about
(Phenomenon, something like a phenomenon)
? don't think you got
My shit all figured out
(Phenomenon, something like a phenomenon)
I'm a make ya bounce ba bounce
Ma ma ma move ma move
Ba ba ba break you off
A little somethin' like this
A little somethin' like this
OK chaps, let's take it from the top, go
All you hollywood rockstars
Hollywood ass, wishin' you had big cash
Rollin' like your pimpin'
But you ain't really got shit goin'
'Cause you ain't limpin' like the bizkit
You're just sittin' on the sidelines
You just fake kid, if there's a title then I'll take it
Who-yeah hit ya with the boo-yeah
And I ain't fuckin' playin' around
Rock, rock to the planet rock, don't stop (c'mon)
Rock, rock to the planet rock, don't stop (c'mon)
[Chorus]
The song "Phenomenon" by Limp Bizkit is an anthem of pride and confidence. The lyrics speak of the progress the artist has made in their career, from being in the dirt to now being successful enough to not have to shave for work. They highlight the fact that time flies and things change, but they themselves are still the same misfit with 20 eyes in their head. The chorus has a defiant tone, stating that people don't know what the artist is all about and they haven't figured them out yet. There is also a sense of aggression towards Hollywood rockstars who wish they had the same success as the Bizkit.
The verses have a playful tone and contain some humorous lyrics such as "Tomorrow I'll be sippin' on some pedialite" and "kinda feelin' horny, Who that is? what it say? what it look like?". There is also a reference to the old-school hip-hop classic "Planet Rock" by Afrika Bambaataa in the repeated line "Rock, rock to the planet rock, don't stop". Overall, the song is a celebration of success and individuality, with an unapologetic attitude towards those who may doubt or underestimate the artist.
