Deftones – 976-EVIL Lyrics 13 years ago
I personally don't think this track is about Chi. I can somewhat see why one might think so, but I don't agree. Alot of Deftones songs are about sex, as I'm sure you are all aware, but 976 is a number often used for phone sex hotlines and other hotlines that charge more than most others. But the Deftones are a complicated band. They may give a song that has nothing to do with sex, a title that does have to do with sex. Their music is open for interpretation, but it all has a special meaning to each member, whatever meaning that may be, and they don't wanna make it obvious what that meaning is to them, because then it would take away from the sentimental value each song has to the individual artist in the band. Especially Chino. This is just my opinion, but it really makes a lot of sense to me. Also, I don't believe that the Deftones made any track on this album ABOUT Chi, they made the entire album FOR Chi, always having Chi in mind and the emotion that goes along with the hardship of what they are all experiencing. Which is why it's such an incredible record. Hope that all makes sense to somebody.
