I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
Can you explain to me how
You're so evil, how?
It's too late for me now
There's a hole in the earth (hole in the earth)
I'm out
There's a hole in the earth
(I'm out)
Can you explain to me now
If you're still able (whilst)
I think you know the truth
There's a hole in the earth
I'm out
There's a hole in the earth
There's a hole in the earth
I hate all of my friends
They all accept our time
There's a hole in the earth
Let's think about
This is the end
Somewhere
This is the end
Somewhere
There's a hole in the earth (a hole in the earth)
There's a hole in the earth (a hole in the earth)
There's a hole in the earth
You're so evil, how?
It's too late for me now
There's a hole in the earth (hole in the earth)
I'm out
There's a hole in the earth
(I'm out)
Can you explain to me now
If you're still able (whilst)
I think you know the truth
There's a hole in the earth
I'm out
There's a hole in the earth
There's a hole in the earth
I hate all of my friends
They all accept our time
There's a hole in the earth
Let's think about
This is the end
Somewhere
This is the end
Somewhere
There's a hole in the earth (a hole in the earth)
There's a hole in the earth (a hole in the earth)
There's a hole in the earth

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield

I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
This song is noted as KIMDRACULA on deftones.com... ??
yeah it's called Kimdracula not earth
These lyrics are wrong.
Yeah, you just blindly copied yours of deftonesworld.com I will change them, as soon as the official are released.
I got the real lyrics out of a Deftones bulliten.
ya this song is called kimdracula. someone on the net mistakenly ID3 tagged the song with an incorrect name. they also incorrectly tagged riviere but that mistake hasnt been spread as much. It's kimdracula on the back of the cd, they've already arrived at retailers (as of oct 28th) so that is the real name of the song. I've already set myself aside a copy since we only got 45 in.
i cant believe that even after they waited for the album to come out they still posted the wrong lyrics on deftonesworld.com. doesnt make any fuckin sense to me
