Slipknot – Vermilion Lyrics 7 years ago
Be a kid, thrown into state custody and you know exactly what this is about. Identity taken from you, watched 24/7 like a criminal, because you are unwanted. If you even speak out of turn, you are slammed & thorazined. You are extremely abused. A new girl comes into the place and you crush on her. If you even get caught looking at her, you again, are slammed and restrained. Abuse, rape, terrorized, adrenochrome. "I won't let this build up inside of me", What? The love for her or the fear, turns into terror, turns to adrenochrome, resulting in your death? You cannot make your mental fantasy of her, real. You aren't even allowed to look at her. One day, your youthful fear, turns into fearless rage. You beat the living ѕhit out of the "house parents". Resulting in your journey of unwanted kid, to forced criminal, being complete, as you sit in your cell, with your head in your hands. Telling yourself, "She isn't real. I can't make her real, just nothing is real."

Deftones – Hearts/Wires Lyrics 8 years ago
Hearts and Wires(hypodermic needles/medical monitoring equipment). Someone dies, they collect the wires. Someone uses drugs, they collect the wires.

It's about waves of the same situation.

The slit in the sky when you left, is all I see.

Someone died, it's all he can think about.
Also, a heroin user will nod off, only look up at the sky, unable to move but look thru slits in their eyes.

Also, someone in a coma, can't really move, but stares up at the sky thru slits of their eyes.

The song is layered with these stages all thru it.

Ultimately, he needs a way out, and shoves that needle down deep into his veins, all the way.

The drug says you're mine till the end.

It's dark and I think it continues with (L)MIRL, where they make the choice to kill themselves.

A Flock of Seagulls – I Ran (So Far Away) Lyrics 9 years ago
This song was done in the 1980s. To me, it's clearly about being with someone you care about and getting nuked. People are talking about aliens and crap, but pay attention to the lyrics, even discusses ICBMs going into orbit, people disintegrating, huge nuclear clouds. After, supposed alien beams hold you still, you can't run. Nukes you can run from, but you can not get away, you just die tired.

 ▶ Everyone,... I have a hint for you. Go look up "Erythropoietic Porphyria".

"The pain, burning, swelling and itching that occur in erythropoietic porphyrias generally require avoidance of bright sunlight. Most kinds of sunscreen are not effective, but SPF-rated long-sleeve shirts, hats, bandanas and gloves can help. Chloroquine may be used to increase porphyrin secretion in some EPs.[8] Blood transfusion is occasionally used to suppress innate heme production."

Deftones – Back to School (Mini Maggit) Lyrics 14 years ago
Actually, I'm pretty sure Nothingface555 is right.

It relates to how Fred tries to copy Chino vocally.

He is telling him, "You can pretend to be me, but I will take you back to school".

"Grab your backpacks, pens and pencils" it just saying that Fred needs to be ready to learn a lesson.

This song was a good way to convey those feelings, without causing relationship issues in the music industry and media.

Deftones – Riviere Lyrics 17 years ago
Dude, those are not even the correct lyrics.

You could be right, about the meaning of the song, but the correct lyrics are, "She Haunts, the ROSE".

Have no idea what it means, that's just what it is.

Deftones – Dai the Flu Lyrics 17 years ago
It's not about a couple AT ALL.

It is about CHI Drinking himself to death.

All of his close friends and band mates have LONG feared for his life, due to substance abuse issues.

Currently, Chi is barely hanging on to life, in a coma, in ICU.
Supposedly from Drunk Driving, But I have no idea what REALLY happened.

These songs are not always about little emo kids falling in love with anyone.

Don't you think that for a second, he could write about more issues then just bullshit love problems?
To constrain him to that area of music is pretty insulting, and seems selfish.

I highly doubt that he spends everyday of his freaking life, thinking about women and their BS tactics.
It just seems that most people WANT to think that about their music, and honestly, it IS somewhat insulting.

Deftones – Dai the Flu Lyrics 17 years ago
The Song Has Chi's name in it, because it is about HIM and his "Alcohol" issues.

"Look at what it's doing to you, that's ok, I'll just kill myself".

This song is about the same exact issue that KoRn's song "Chi" is about, from "Life is Peachy".

Deftones – Beware Lyrics 17 years ago
Chi is normally the one that almost destroys the band & kill himself by drinking too much, As his current situation testifies to. Chi is currently barely alive and hanging onto life by a tiny thread while in a coma, allegedly do to a drunk driving incident. However I don't know the facts about what REALLY happened to him, however I really hope he gets through it, not for the band, not for the music and not for us, but for himself and his family.

People knew this would happen at some point.
As the KoЯn song "Chi" on "Life is Peachy" attests to and is very prophetic to the current situation.

God Bless you Chi, I pray that you recover fully, every single day of my life.

Deftones – Beware Lyrics 17 years ago
People, this song is about being treated horrible and being perceived as too damn weak to defend yourself or fight for yourself, BUT doing just that. Unleashing a reckoning filled with sadness, anger and fucking PURE hatred, resulting in the death of the protaganist.

"Do you like the way the water tastes?"

Is another way of saying, "I just fucked you up, using YOUR own methods."

Deftones – Lifter Lyrics 17 years ago
Come on people.

This song is obviously about a pedophile and the urges that drives them. They are aware that the behaviour is illegal and morally wrong, They HATE it, but simply cannot stop.

Deftones – Commanche Lyrics 17 years ago
Comanche was the working title.
Scraped due to political pressure.

I still use the name.

And damn it people, at least TRY to get the damn lyrics RIGHT.

It is, "She haunts, THE ROSE."

Deftones – Rx Queen Lyrics 18 years ago
The RX is NOT about drugs or prescriptions.
I used to think this song was about prescription drugs too.
However, from Chino,...

RX is the computer term. RX is the receive function of a modem. TX is the Transmit function.

This has to do with the internet I would ASSUME it means "Internet Queen" or "Receive Queen"

Deftones – Riviere Lyrics 18 years ago
Guys,
The Original name of this song was "Comanche".
I am pretty sure its about the tribe face death in a fight against the new US government and how they did it with such pride. They died willingly. If they killed people they would rip out the heart of a leader during battle.

The Comanche are know in history for responding to a General in the meeting on the battlefield before battle, when face with 1,000 to 1 odds against them, they would bravely claim, "I'll cut your armies down and tear out your heart."

The "She" could be the spirit of the native tribes of America.

It could also have double meaning.
It could also be about a prostitute.

Deftones – Rickets Lyrics 18 years ago
Ok, let me point out one thing.

This COULD be a sont, from the point of view of a kid that has RICKETS.

Being in a Hospital, the rehab/nurse people tend to bitch at you an awful lot.

The parents might also communicate the burden onto this person.

Could also be about a relationship with him and a girl that nags to much and he is figuring out he doesn't really like her anymore.

I think most of his songs have two or more legit meanings.

Deftones – MX Lyrics 18 years ago
No people, its a conundrum.

He is talking about just fucking some girl, or girls.

CLOSURE TO THE LUNG!!!!!

Think about it.

He wants them to be in love with him. The HEART is close to the LUNG.

Maybe I am wrong, I just don't think so.

Deftones – Lifter Lyrics 18 years ago
Guys, AGAIN the Lyrics are ALL wrong, all of them!!!
I will post the real ones and then follow up with what I personally think the song means. I want to point out that I perform this song on a normal basis and it holds important meaning to me.


Watch me, with your eyes,
Been giving god, a pedophile
I want to, be just like you,
Then I'd be cool, maybe not
But,
We lift our eyes,
Big surprise,
Kiss me goodbye,
Whore.

Without, you being here,
I've been giving fear, been a bore,
I wish I, could feel like you,
When I fuck like you, getting sore
But,
We lift our eyes,
Big surprise,
Kiss me goodbye.....

And it makes you burn! all that you work for
Every knuckle wiped into her
I know if i get more style I will never get what I want..
Inside,.. I Burn.

This gift of mine
Resing, restring, unwind
My eyes are closed
A part of me gets pissed, a part of me gets sore
A part of me gets pissed, a part of me gets sore
A part of me gets pissed, a part of me gets sore

And it makes you burn all that you work for,
Every knuckle, wiped into her,
I know if i get more style I will never get what I want
Inside I Burn.

A part of me gets sick, a part of me gets sore
Deep Inside, I burn
A part of me gets sore, a part of me gets sick
A part of me gets sore, a part of me gets sore
I get fuckin' sick, Fuck.


Now this prolly isn't 1000% correct.
I change some of the words when I sing it, for personal reasons. I say, "It makes you Smile, While I burn." during the chorus.
Also,..
"I know if i get more style I will never get what I want.."
I change to,..
"I know that I'm a Monster and I will never get what I want."

Take it however you want to take it.


I think the song is about the illness of being a pedophile. Knowing what you want is SO wrong, but having the burning inside of having to have it/do it no matter who it hurts.

I don't think it has anything to do with Chino, and it might just be a song he wrote from a news story "Polly Class" he heard at the time.
