As the title suggests (“The Worst Is Yet To Come”), the song is based on a singer who believes in some kind of imminent misery. As lead singer Jonathan Davis explained in his own words and in the second verse, he didn’t feel like he was predicting or worrying about any particular event. Instead, what we are dealing with here is a sentiment based on the common understanding that life tends to bring us unhappiness at the same time.
So coming back to Jonathan’s explanation, it’s as if we’re caught in a perpetual cycle of peace balanced by misery. While the reader may not be amiss at the moment, inside he is still concerned about this tumultuous outlook on life.
