Sleep in this hole
Stinging in your eyes
Ashamed, for you, cause
So far, i've been down that's true
Shake in lie
About to fall
Ashamed, for you
Cause,
So far i've been down that's true
Except for your arms
You start, stand still
And shove regret back at me
Ask you why
What's up?
Ask you why
One, two
Why, why why why
Soon i've been you
Laughter, sigh
So ashamed for you, cause
This feeling gets old
And so do your eyes
This is why, i hate you, cause
So far, i've been down that's true
Except for you're arms, you just
Smile, stand still
While you look right back at me!
Stinging in your eyes

nu metal does not exist. it is a stupid term the record companies made up so that the mainstream public wouldn't be confused by the terms emo, emo-core, hard-core, or anything relative. please don't ever use that term when refering to the almighty deftones.
it's a real bastard having to skim through the bit between mx and this to get to, in my opinion, one of the best songs off 'around the fur'. but it's worth the wait. fucking kickass song. anyways, that's what i think...
why does chino likes the word "shove"..i think there are 3 lyrics on this albun with shove involved......anyway deftones is the best new metal band ever..they have their own style and there's no other band like them.
@brohymn_hxcx highly agree
@brohymn_hxcx highly agree
my best guess is that he likes a girl, and he told her, but she doesn't do anything about it, and he hates feeling that way about her. like when he says "smile, stand still, while you look right back at me" like she just looks at him and doesn't say anything, making him feel like an ass. also when he says "shove regret back at me" as though he regrets telling her. but really i have no idea what it's about.
I hate all that secret track crap, this song should've been instantly playable.
the noises start at 19:30 and the actual secret song it starts at 32:35 and yes i also agree that this song is good and should be able to have a seperate track because i dont really like mx
If you listen closely to the noises at 19:30, it's some of the band members toking up.
You can sort of tell what the people putting their opinions up have been through... being cheated on. losing their jobs, haha.
I think to OP is right though. Sounds like he was into a girl, he told her, and she totally wasn't into him ("you start, stand still, and shove regret right back at me"... it's sort of like she's saying "you're a great guy but... pause ...I'm not into you."). It almost sounds like he's gone back home and is laying on his bed, and he feels ashamed for her because he's "been down;" he's kind of a loser/loner/etc. and now he's like "well of course she wouldn't like me..." He feels ashamed for her for making a really bad lie about why she doesn't want to see him (something like, "oh, well, uh, I'm like, not looking for a relationship right now...") when he knows it isn't true. He's hurt and wants to know why she really isn't into him, and while they stay friends he eventually gets sick of her ("this feeling gets old, and so do your eyes, this is why I hate you") and the tables turn when he doesn't have feelings for her anymore and she has them for him ("soon I've been you" = they've switched places). And when she comes after him with open arms, he tells her he's not into her and she just stands and stares right back at him.
Moral of the story, kids: don't squander love. Haha
i think maybe this song is about people falling out of love with eachother. but they don't want to believe it. ????
Of course, nobody wants, in this situation, to face truth. He's had truth shoved in his face, knowing that he no longer loves her (his own independant decision). He doesn't want her arms, but can't escape her gaze.
