Cast It Out Lyrics
Casted out I'm watching your eyes
Casting out my visions of nine
Blacking out
Casted out I'm watching your eyes bleed dry
Touch with frustrated lips
Love is like starting over
With every step engraving the problems of memories
Casted out I'm watching your eyes
Casting out my visions of nine
Blacking out
Casted out I'm watching your eyes bleed dry
Drunks on failures regrets
Letters of silence confess burdens within
Speaking as loneliness listens
While hopelessly feeling
Casted out I'm watching your eyes
Casting out my visions of nine
Blacking out
Casted out I'm watching your eyes bleed dry
There's a definite pattern to our behavior
Somehow the end draws us closer
Casted out I'm watching your eyes
Casting out my visions of nine
Blacking out
Casted out I'm watching your eyes bleed dry
Blacking out
Cast it out
Casting out my visions of nine
Blacking out
Casted out I'm watching your eyes bleed dry
Love is like starting over
With every step engraving the problems of memories
Casting out my visions of nine
Blacking out
Casted out I'm watching your eyes bleed dry
Letters of silence confess burdens within
Speaking as loneliness listens
While hopelessly feeling
Casting out my visions of nine
Blacking out
Casted out I'm watching your eyes bleed dry
Somehow the end draws us closer
Casting out my visions of nine
Blacking out
Casted out I'm watching your eyes bleed dry
Cast it out

here I go again, you know how some people have themes to their Cds? Sounds like someone speaking here that has done something against someone they love and is ashamed and wants it to go away."cast it out" Possibly told the person and broke their heart "your eyes bleed dry" . There's a "definite pattern to our behavior" "Somehow the end draws us closer" Kinda makes me think of people who fight to make up. Maybe there is an infidelity problem from both sides and confession makes their relation strong for a time being.
Again I didnt write the song so I dont know and am not saying I am right. I am just saying what I think of when I hear it
It does have a bit of a concept album feel to it. I'm inclined to agree with SCo88 because that's the most in-depth interpretation I've heard of this song (especially that "Vision of 9" line. That always threw me off). For awhile, I just listened to the whole album like it was Deftones cd (feeling the music instead of the lyrics). One of the first "non-single/b-side" tracks I heard off the album that attracted my attention. It's too bad they couldn't make a good follow-up album.

I could be wrong, but from what I get, it seems like a couple goes through the same problems over and over again. But instead of learning from their mistakes, they choose to forget them and the problems are never fixed.
Therefore, they are forming a "definite pattern to our behavior" and each time it happens, their relationship gets closer to its end as they say in "the end draws us closer."
i think this songs about a couple with problems and its frustrating because they know they love eachother and they know they can't work but they keeep trying but it only makes things worse and theres nothing that that he can do anymore but watch it fall apart and whoever this song is about probably doesnt care as much as him because there "eyes bleed dry" which im guessing means they're not crying
thats just my guesss, but anywaysss AMAZING song. i love it.
The main message: have the inner strength to 'cast it out' - the past if it is past (memories) and the present if need be - relationships often end way after they are over, and in the meantime, you can feel more alone than if you were actually alone and single.

I like anonymous girl's interpretation best (and no, i didnt read them all i just found the first one that spoke to me), it is exactly how I feel except for one thing. The eyes bleed dry part, I think refers instead to the opposite. It is crying (like...
I like anonymous girl's interpretation best (and no, i didnt read them all i just found the first one that spoke to me), it is exactly how I feel except for one thing. The eyes bleed dry part, I think refers instead to the opposite. It is crying (like bleeding it is a flowing) tears until your eyes are red and dry (the blood reference's explanation is in the metaphor of color and because you cry from wounds like you bleed). This supports the idea that there is love there, they DO care, but the incompatibility is too prominent. The end draws them closer because once they give up the obligation of the relationship and realize they were trying to be what they could not, they can have a better relationship. They can still love things about each other, they can be friends. They need to cast this painful thing out, and move on. That is the resonant last line, simply put 'çast it out'. Symbolically, the song continues without words, it represents an end but one that continues - On to less painful things.
In addition I think that this may be from a third view person observing someone in this relationship, not a person in it. Maybe the suggestion of a new suitor that they are not the one from the past. OR maybe not, but if it is someone in the relationship, they feel more like they are observing. Loneliness listens to their problems, they don't talk about things anymore. They are observing more than acting. I looked up the symbolic meaning of the "nine". One of the symbolic representations is, 3X3 = 9, thus, it is perfection, the symbol of virile power and associated with the couple. Casting out visions of nine is like casting out your belief in the relationship, in it's ability to be perfect or even the specific relationship mentioned's ability to exist at all. This seems negative until you love again, wherein it is necessary to TRULY start over. Cast out the past:
Love is like starting over With every step engraving the problems of memories

It's a message of encouragement essentially. Nice job on the research & development.

From what I've read from other sources it has cryptic messages, and has an undertone of losing somebody (possibly by death) and how that ironically brings people closer together. I don't know, I had a hard time deciphering the meaning myself but it does sound really good.
I have absolutely no idea what this song can even mean. Casted out is obviously a term that I'm not familiar with... =/ I love this song though. Ehhh!

i think this song is about how someone is just fed up with life and is just going through so much shit but they need to learn to deal with it themselves while the others just stand by in the sidelines watching it all happen.
this song is awesome!!! i love it!!! i love the way the drum beat sounds in this song.
I love this song but what I love most about it is the music at the end...how its not exactly part of the song itself of the song after. It's just there.
awesome song. is it really 'casted out'? i mean the song is called "cast IT out", not "casted out". shouldn't there be at least one instance where it's 'cast IT out'? whatever. it's one of favorites off the album.
There's no communication in the relationship and its a never ending patter because when they're at the end they just start it up again.
