| And perhaps by being "safe inside" in terms of being "entombed" from being able to do anything about Chi's condition, he is therefore protecting himself from further pain if the worst possibility happens to Chi in the future. Basically it's about uncertainty, and the protecting of one's self from getting one's hopes up. I don't think this is necessarily a Chi song, but at the same time, I feel it is the closest to being one as of yet by Deftones. | |

I agree that it could be interpreted as a song about Chi.. But it could also be interpreted as a song about someone else. Basically, in my opinion, the lines "From the day you arrived, I've remained by your side, in chains, entombed" stands for describing a relationship with a person who is outside the realm of possibility to provide assistance for. This could be about Chi as much as it could be about a possible past relationship with someone else. However, I feel it is closer to being about Chi than anything else. The lines "On the day you arrived, I became your device to name and soothe" could also be interpreted as representing the situation in which, perhaps, Chino attempted to connect with Chi during which he was in a coma by trying to remind himself of his name and their shared memories together, and to provide him with hope for a future. Overall, I do feel it could be about Chi, but at the same time especially with the nature of Chino's lyrics, you can never be sure of anything being absolute about them. They're open to interpretation as always. |
