Interesting facts and trivia about Boiler. By Songfacts®.

This song is about the frustration and confusion that comes along with being left by someone you love... essentially about being played.

"Boiler" was the last single from Limp Bizkit's third album, Chocolate Starfish And The Hot Dog Flavored Water, issued in late 2001 about a year after the album came out. It was chosen by fans in a poll on limpbizkit.com. By this time, the nu metal movement was abating, as was the band's popularity. The song was a minor hit in parts of Europe and got some attention on Modern Rock radio in the US, but there was no way the band could keep up the momentum from 1999, when their album Significant Other propelled them to stardom. Guitarist Wes Borland left the band in 2001, and their next album, Results May Vary, didn't do nearly as well as their previous two.

Dave Meyers and Limp Bizkit frontman Fred Durst shot the video in Lisbon, Portugal, while the band was on tour in Europe. Durst directed most of the band's videos himself but sometimes teamed with more experienced film-makers. Meyers was known for his videos for Missy Elliott ("Get Ur Freak On" and Dave Matthews "The Space Between"). The "Boiler" video is heavy on special effects and has an animation sequence.
