The song is notable for being longer than most of the band's songs, building steadily to a climax instead of following music formulas of pop music, ending with an electronic meets scratch ending section by the band's DJ Lethal. Guitarist Wes Borland cites this song as one of his favorites by the band.
The music video for the song was made as an answer to all the controversy surrounding Woodstock '99, in which Limp Bizkit was blamed for inciting riots, among other things, although it could also be where Nookie left off with Durst getting arrested. The video portrays the band in prison cells at the beginning, where they are soon taken and put on trial for Woodstock. They are found guilty, and the video shows them performing the last portion of the song from inside a metal container, as onlookers watch while milk pours into the container to drown the band. When the song ends, the milk drains from the container, and the band is nowhere to be seen.
Only Durst's baseball cap, and a copy of the album Significant Other lies at the bottom of the container. This, according to Durst, was to show that while the critics will continue to assault the band until they are gone, their music will continue to live on forever, regardless. After they are drowned, they are seen floating in heaven. Wes Borland asks, "Are we in heaven? I think we're dead!" and Durst replies, "Dude, if we were in heaven, man, I'd be kickin' it with Method Man right now..." At that point, Fred falls from heaven and supposedly falls into the music video for N 2 Gether Now, which featured Method Man. Matt Pinfield made an appearance in the video, and so did Durst's mother.

Limp Bizkit Lyrics

Just think about it
Lately, I've been skeptical, silent when I would use to speak
Distant from all around me who witness me fail and become weak
Life is overwhelming, heavy is the head that wears the crown
I'd love to be the one to disappoint you when I don't fall down
Because you know it all and I guess things will never change
But you might need my hand when falling in your hole
Your disposition, I'll remember when I'm letting go
Of you and me
We're through and rearranged, yeah
It seems that you're not satisfied, there's too much on your mind
So you leave, and I can't believe all the bullshit that I find
Life is overwhelming, heavy is the head that wears the crown
I'd love to be the one to, disappoint you when I don't fall down
But you don't understand when I'm attempting to explain
Because you know it all and I guess things will never change
But you might need my hand when falling in your hole
Your disposition, I'll remember when I'm letting go
Of you and me
We're through and rearranged
You and me, we're through
And rearranged, yeah, yeah
You're no good for me
Thank God it's over
You make believe
That nothing is wrong until you're crying
And you make believe
That life is so long until you're dying
You make believe
That nothing is wrong until you're crying
Crying on me
You make believe
That life is so long until you're dying (dying)
Dying on me
You think that everybody's the same
I don't think that anybody's like you
(You ruin everything and you kept fucking with me)
You think that everybody's the same (thank God it's over, and I won't be the same)
(You ruin everything, you kept fucking with me)
I don't think that anybody's like you (thank God it's over, and I won't be the same)
Just think about it
You'll get it
In "Re-Arranged," Limp Bizkit's lead singer, Fred Durst, is expressing his weariness and frustration regarding a relationship that has ended. The verses depict him as experiencing self-doubt, feeling overwhelmed by life's challenges and his responsibility towards others, and uncomfortable with those close to him perceiving him as weak. The refrain expresses Durst's exasperation towards his former partner's emotional manipulation and their inability to see eye-to-eye, ultimately stating that their relationship is over and that Durst has resolved to move on.
The lyrics describe a turbulent and bitter romance coming to a close. Durst is so drained that he can no longer take the emotional toll of the situation. The lyrics also suggest a sense of frustration toward his former partner who seems to make believe that nothing was wrong in the relationship, but then cries and pretends that everything is wrong.
Overall, "Re-Arranged" is Durst's lament of an emotionally fraught relationship that caused him to second-guess himself and doubt his ability to connect with others.
