"Your Disease" comes from Every Six Seconds, Saliva's second album, and Island sent it out in 2000, with "Click Click Boom" coming along behind it. The band's former singer Josey Scott has explained it as a song about a relationship that curdles in a hurry once manipulation and sex get into the mix, and that's exactly how it plays: all clenched jaw and bad blood. He has said a lot of the band's songs come back to relationships, and not only because everyone can relate; for him the point was honesty.
The track got around, too. It turned up on the soundtrack to Dracula 2000 and in the video games Spy Hunter in 2001, Aggressive Inline in 2002 and Downhill Domination in 2003.
