Songfacts®:

• Tyler wrote this from the perspective of Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold, the two kids who were responsible for the Columbine school massacre in 1999. He told NME: "I tried to write a song from their perspective, to try and figure it out. Those kids were nerds, f---ing dweebs. I'm intrigued as to how they thought, not what they did. How do regular kids become what they became?"
• This is not the first reference Tyler has made to the Columbine school massacre. He got into trouble in 2011 after tweeting that Harris and Klebold were "prolly cool ni--as.".
• Here are more songs inspired by the Columbine School shootings:
  "Cassie" by Flyleaf.
  "Thoughtless" by Korn.
