According to Sully Erna, the song is about how every time he tours to New Orleans with Godsmack, he gets sick. Erna attributes this to having been killed in New Orleans in a previous life and being haunted by "evil spirits" every time he visits New Orleans. [2]

There are two versions of "Re-Align". The original version appeared on Godsmack's third studio album, Faceless . [3] The second version, which is an acoustic recording, appeared on The Other Side EP.
