| Deftones – Risk Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
I know Chino has said in interviews that he really tried to step out of his own experience and perception when writing the lyrics to this records. So it makes me that that he might write as if it was from the perspective of someone else. I can't help but think this song was at least a little influenced by Chi's coma if not directly about it. Maybe he is writing from Chi's mother or family's perspective dealing with their son in such a state. You're locked up You exhaled You did it before I seen it Come outside And breathe in Relax your arms And let me in I get the image of someone encouraging another to get back to a point they once were able to reach. But for some reason the person is crippled with something. Fear? Anxiety? Depression? Being in a coma? Who knows, but the message is extremely powerful. "I will save your life." Literally trying everything you can to prevent another human being from passing away. This song gives me the fucking chills every time. |

| Deftones – Royal Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| After only a few listens this has already become one of my favorite Deftones records, and this song is one of the reasons. Stephs 8 string is heavy as fuck, but then Chino's spacey vocal harmonies smooth that shit out like velvet. This song is defining. | |
| Deftones – Sextape Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| This song is absolutely perfect. I wonder if it would be a potential single. What a crazy name for a single. This song is BEAUTIFUL. | |
| Coheed and Cambria – Pearl of the Stars Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| Damn this is a great song. Yes, there is raw emotion is this one. But you can totally hear the "writer" Claudio speaking here when he refers to "angel from the west" Claud's wife is originally a model from L.A. and he is from the East Coast. | |

| Where did you hear it was a story? That would be sick. | |
| Thrice – In Exile Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
reminds me of the Isrealites in the desert for forty years. For FORTY years those people were looking for a place that had been promised to them by a leader who died even before he could see it (Moses). They had nowhere to call home, and they were just wandering. These lines in particular remind me of it. I am a pilgrim, a voyager I won't rest until my lips touch the shore Of the land that I've been longing for as long as I've lived Where there'll be no pain or tears anymore |

| Thrice – Child of Dust Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| So is this supposed to be the earth conversing with man? It seems that the earth is saying towards the end that all life must end and man is now dying. Earth will show man how to sleep for eternity. And at the last part of the song my version gets muffled more and more as it comes to the end. Is it supposed to be the sound maybe of someone being burried? In the making of videos I saw them recording a shovel digging into the ground. Is this what they were trying to capture at the end? | |

| dubbaeww dont be so sure you are not right. Dustin is know to play a shitload of WOW and Warcraft. He might just have been inspired by that story. | |
| Thrice – The Arsonist Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| I hate to be the guy bringing too much Bible into this but its almost impossible not to get a sense that Dustin might be a little influenced by the images of Sodom and Gomorrah. In the Old Testament God Sodom will be destroyed by "brimstone and fire from the Lord out of heaven" because there are too many evil men living in it. In Genesis 18, God informs Abraham that he plans to destroy the city of Sodom because of its gross immorality. Abraham pleads with God not to destroy Sodom, and God agrees that he would not destroy the city if there were 50 righteous people in it, then 45, then 30, then 20, or even ten righteous people. The Lord's two angels only found one righteous person living in Sodom, Abraham's nephew Lot. Consequently, God destroyed the city. | |

It's funny how everyone argues about if it has to do with Christianity or not. It doesn't have to be one or the other. The song can have references to both the philosphical and religious aspects of the band. Plus "daylight, they tell me that it’s just a myth daylight, they tell me that it can’t exist they try to betray me with a kiss" betray with a kiss? Dude thats totally a referance to how Judas one of the deciples, betrayed Jesus by kissing him on the cheek to as a sign to the romans to let them know hes who they want. |
