| Deftones – Good Morning Beautiful Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
I always thought it was "you, you wish away god/ before the wrath comes/ and you could take god/ before the wrath comes" or "before the rat comes" but the waking up makes more sense now. it goes with the title of the song. |

| Deftones – When Girls Telephone Boys Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
Maybe it's about dating a really needy and bitchy person. and not wanting to call them but if you don't they'll just call you over and over and be all "why didn't you call... I've been waiting all day and you said you would". And he just wants to stop it and pretend it didn't happen. Also the beginning she's saying/whispering: "There's no more cops outside. It just takes away. It's kind of why I want to talk to you. It's hella sensitive." And I'm not sure if she's talking about condoms.... |

| Deftones – Teenager Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
I think this song perfectly captures that sugar-sweet childhood feeling. That simple sitting in the grass withh people you love drinking lemonade. But also, as I say that, my childhood wasn't like that. When I was little, I knew nothing of the outside world, and couldn't appreciate the great things I had going. And with what I know of teenage romances (I'm a teenager, but I haven't had that many romances, however I have been in a situation like this. I really liked this guy. I guess compared to me he was on the "normal" side, even though he was sort of considered a weirdo in his grade (he was a grade ahead) or so that's the feeling I got. I liked him a lot, but he was a good little catholic boy and couldn't deal with the strangeness of me. We were never even friends. I don't even know what he thought of me. Whether I scared him or fascinated him, both, or her just didn't care... i have no idea) I know of they aren't like that. They are just awkward and frustrating, like the one I just described. You have no idea what your supposed to be doing... but I think this song captures the ideal tone of a teenage romance, which is interesting since it is about a failed romance |

RX is just the way you write the perscription sign when you don't have the symbol. It's really supposed to be a P with the X near it and slightly below, so it sort of looks like an R with a slash through the bottom part. the virus might refer to AIDS, which i think someone mentioned??? but i'm not sure about her having AIDS so I don't know |

| Deftones – Lucky You Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
alright, this is just a personal meaning, and maybe I've just been reading WAY too many vampire novels (which I most CERTAINLY have been!) but it reminds me of vampires. Or having sex with a vampire? Because if you do some research into the history of vampire lore, you would see that around the 1800's (right before stoker published Dracula), vampires had taken on a very sexual tone. Really it was just an outlet for eroticism in a desexualized society. Take Carmilla, for instance. I beleive it was published before Dracula (but I'm terrible with dates) and it's about a woman who comes to stay with a nobleman at his estate where she seduces his daughter or neice or somthing and convinces her to engage in a lesbian relationship. They find out later the woman coming to stay is a vampire and is turning the neice or daughter into a campire. I've never actually read the book or seen the movie, but the impression I got was that it was very sexual. So, this song just reminds me of luring in your prey, as a vampire. Also the term "getting lucky" means having sex so... I think that's a bit obvious that it's about sex. Aslo the "take me home" part. In conclusion, to me, it seems like a vampire luring a lover in and taking blood from them, and they "watched you kill/ you always have, you always will" refers to the vampire's long slew of victims. Or it could just be about having sex with a murderer or slut. They do call an orgasm a "little death" don't they? |

oh, and does rodleen do any work on other albums, and does she have a solo career? I really admire how she can blend high pitched singing, right into screaming, and back again. Screaming in key must be a bit difficult, especially since you can't really practice many places, the other tenents in you apartment/neighbors might call the cops if your not in a sound proofed room. unless of course they did pitch corection or alteration (such as alteration of octives, perhaps?) |

I think I mention this on every song I comment... look at the box your typing in. see the orange thing above it? look between the orange box and the text box and you will see the question... "What does this song mean to you?" Maybe Chi DID mean it as some whacked out little knife party... but it begs the question... why does he HAVE all those knives anyway... which begs the answer cutting, since some cutters have a collection of sharp things. Also, anemia (the medical condition) can sometimes be cause by loss of blood. And you can't control cutting completely, or hardly at all. It becomes an addiction. But the song could mean anything, since I think everyone knows he's a weird guy (in a fantabulous way). To me, this song takes on a sort of Sci-Fi aspect that really focuses more on the tone of the song, and some of the lyrics just accenting it. It makes me feel, I don't know, like reality is splitting or something. |

| Butthole Surfers – Pepper Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
This song is about different types of people. Also, I think while they were writing the song they started talking about something, and then drifted into something else. I sometimes do it when writing songs, and it happens with songs that tell stories. How it tells the different stories of people prooves how it's about different types of people. "They were all in love with dying," and "some will fall in love with life and drink it from a fountain" is about on different outlooks on life. "I don't mind the sun sometimes," refers to that life is good, sometimes, even when life is bad. I also feel that this song sometimes talks about heroin, but not so much in the "dancing with a train" reference. That's what people say when other people get run over by trains. Seeing as how people are hardly walking round train tracks and getting stuck in them then being run over, he probably threw himself in front of the train. I also agree with the point that, especially with this song, since it has so many topics, songs have a personal meaning to yourself, as well as what the band meant it as, that being the universal meaning. And look at the box you are typing in... above the box where you type doesn't it say "what does this song mean to you?" |
