| Deftones – Rocket Skates Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| From the first time I heard this song, two things were obvious: it was pure fucking magic, and also probably about a very dysfunctional, yet very addictive relationship with a shitload of drugs and dirty sex thrown into the mix. She's "red soaking wet," and he's "right next to" her because she is injured, and he caused it (she abuses him, too, when he says, "Guns, razors, knives, fuck with me." Probably meaning she has more than one way to hurt him)..."Let's writhe, let me see you trip," has several meanings. First, it is obviously sexual. Second, it is obviously drug-related. Third, it refers to the endless cycle of argument/violence in their relationship, and wanting the other person to be wrong, or "trip." The lyrics that follow in that stanza also have the same double and triple meanings as above. A love-hate relationship topped with a heroin-cocaine-soaked cherry....Mmmmmm!!!! That sounds like a wholesome evening! When he says, "Let's drink with our weapons in our hands," that's like saying, we're gonna get fucked up and everything will be fun for a temporary period, but the rage/dysfunction/hatred is still right there underneath the surface, and it's only a matter of time before it explodes again. BUT, we will fuck each other rotten after our violent fight (notice how he says, "Fuck WITH me," as in "hurt me," but then later says, "Fuck me," as in, "fuck me." Hey, I don't represent the shit, I'm just breakin it down for ya.). Watching the video later only further affirmed what I thought this song was about all along. Copyright Leah White, bitches! | |
