Music and lyrics
During the songwriting process, the band members paired riffs with lyrics based on what Matthew McDonough referred to as "number symbolism".[1] According to McDonough, while he and Chad Gray wrote the lyrics to "Nothing to Gein", Greg Tribbett performed a riff which alternated in bars of four and five. Because the number nine is a lunar number, McDonough felt that the riff would fit the song's lyrics, which referred to murderer and grave robber Ed Gein, whose actions McDonough associated with nighttime activity.[1]
