| Deftones – Tempest Lyrics | 12 years ago |

I don't think your wrong, in fact "dead" on, but I think you have to dig deeper. I never noticed Deaftones before this, but this song really speaks to me. In my opinion this is about life and death, except look at the bigger picture. Think life and death in the cycle of re-incarnation and multiple lives, ie "circles". The "end" is actually enlightenment and being in "stasis" is the repeating cycle of re-incarnation. Being "taken apart from the inside" and "getting rid of stories in your mind" I interpret as the process of enlightenment. For example ridding oneself of attachments and removing the karma (negative energy) that keeps us bound to this existence and dimension. I would suggest he is referring to Buddhist principals here or something similar. "The Glory" is enlightenment and returning to your original form of existence, which is not here. The lyrics "cut to the end" suggest to be a longing for this process to be complete. |
