"This was one of Stephen's songs. There's a lot of aggression here. He spent whole weeks working on individual sections of this because the timing is really intricate. The song title is from a story I was reading about this old actress called Frances Farmer who went crazy. It was only afterwards that I realised Nirvana had also written a song about her."

I love his voice on this one. It's a bit higher and it flows so well compared to all the other screams on this cd. Intense lyrics. Love it.

@SaviorSalvation213 My mom actually met Chino on the phone which was cool.

seems like chino is not happy with some criticism the band has recieved regarding previous albums and he is saying this is a bit different to anything else we have done here it is is it our style?? just kind of saying in a humorous way get fucked i dont really care about your opinion. thats what i think probably not but anyway its a wicked song the composer and vibe in the chorus clever work with the timing deftones fucking rock!!

composition structure i mean to say

Cover art for Rats!Rats!Rats! lyrics by Deftones

his voice is def gettin old..the screams sounds real dry and horse, like he getttin over larenjitis, except every scream on the record is like this.but in a way i think it adds flavor to their sound for some reason and makes it sound cool. dont know why, just does.

=/ I always use relationship scenarios with songs... Decide if you like him ( your former guy) or me better. Don't be mixed up between the 2 of us!!! Decide who you want to be with! Only one of us! DOOO IITTT! OR it could be this scene: Someone shows their "true" self to someone. Was it everything they expected ( dreamed of). Decide if you want to accept me as I am or scamper off like those other fake frauds. That's just my interpretaton...

This song is cool. Very aggressive. Eh, I believe it's about getting fed up with someone's bullshit and their inability to see something.. sort of like what was mentioned in the comment above mine. But I suppose you could use it to fit other situations.

Thats a good interpretation, Lateralus518. By the way some of the lyrics are wrong. Hes actually saying "This Sun" at the beginning. At least thats what the booklet says, as well as azlyrics.com.

The very last scream in the song is fuckin awesome. Amazing album. Im seeing them live in 2 days. so excited.

Maybe if Steven spent ages writing little bits of the song the lyrics are about him? Chino getting annoyed?
