| Deftones – Wax and Wane (Cocteau Twins cover) Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| I'm not a Pagan..but it seems to me to have ritualistic conotations to it. Wax and Wane have meaning together when you talk about the lunar cycle. Wax: To show a progressively larger illuminated area, as the moon does in passing from new to full. Wane: To exhibit a decreasing illuminated area from full moon to new moon. The song is originaly by the band "Cocteau Twins"(1981) and they come from scotland. So the song has english scotish roots. (Stone Henge used to conduct rituals). This might add insite or not, to the song. Moon rituals are used in the pegan religion to add positive energy during the waxing of the moon and to take away negetive energy during waneing of the moon. So I think the song is about repenting. What the devil might steady in us. We have the ability to wax and wayne to become stronger. The first verse kind of sets up its going to be a rythmic chant. that is what a prose is. "Caring in a berry gin shot" might have to do with drinking to solve problems. "Up 'till he wanes" meaning he quits drinking. "Oh, we laugh in their faces." meaning getting over past problems and laughing in its face. This is my interpretation. I Would like to hear any other ideas. Check you all later. | |
