| Deftones – Rosemary Lyrics | 4 years ago |

This song is about a plane crash, and is written from the perspective of the passengers of said plane crash after the plane breaks apart in the sky but before they lose consciousness and hit the ground at 600 mph, obviously dying on impact or in some cases before impact. It is one of the most incredible songs I've ever heard in my life. I have been certain this song is about a plane crash since the very first listen. I realize the lyrics are referring to planes of existence, while also describing a plane crash, which can make some believe I mistook the meaning of the lyrics. But I remain confident, having just listened to this song once again, that it is about a plane crash. Discovering the entry to other planes (of existence) is referring to the minds of the passengers being completely open due to the enormous stress and fear of what is happening. The song speaks to accepting ones mortality, especially under the most extreme circumstances, during which the mind's full potential is finally unlocked for the first time...and the futility and irony of such a profound state of enlightenment only being attainable moments before one's own death. The silver lining being...of course...that we might all achieve this state, even if only for a fleeting final few moments. I absolutely love this song. I absolutely love this band. This album, the album before it, the albums after it, are some of the best music Deftones have ever created. Which makes me think of the incredible music that might have been if Chi were never in that car accident, even tho Diamond Eyes was one of the best albums I've ever heard in my life...I'd give that away if Chi were alive and well. |
