You can't talk
I'm anxious
I'm off the walls
I'm right here just
Come outside
And see it
But pack your heart
You might need it
[Chorus]
I'll find a way
I'm confused though
But I think I can try
I will save your life
I will save your life
I'll try for you
You're locked up
You exhaled
You did it before
And I seen it
Come outside
And breathe in
Relax your arms
And let me in
[Chorus]
I know what to say to take you
Higher, higher
No one else can take you higher
But I will try
[Chorus: x2]
For you
I'm anxious
I'm off the walls
I'm right here just
Come outside
And see it
But pack your heart
You might need it
I'll find a way
I'm confused though
But I think I can try
I will save your life
I will save your life
I'll try for you
You exhaled
You did it before
And I seen it
Come outside
And breathe in
Relax your arms
And let me in
Higher, higher
No one else can take you higher
But I will try

This song is about Chi
It certainly is, my friend.

I have heard someone tell me this about practically every song on this album, but for this one it's definitely true.

@Drumline161 Yes...indeed. Chino is incredibly vague in most of lyrics. However to this day if someone were to ask me theoretically "whats a good song about Chi?" i'd point to this one...

Yes, yes it is 100% about Chi. I got my first black eye watching that legend perform. He was a HUGE guy. He grinned right at me while he was playing. RIP legend ????

Well I think he's telling this girl that, things may be shitty now but if you give me the chance, I would make you happy. Or damn well try my hardest too. He says "pack your heart you might need it" so it's not just come with me but come prepared to fall in love. I think he wants her to take the chance, let him take her away from her life and show her the beauty of the world.
@mordsith that’s a nice thought that it’s about love stuff… but no… this song is for Chi, who was still in his 4 year long coma at the time. RIP legend.

A full decade after their masterpiece White Pony, at a point where it seemed unlikely the Deftones would make another contribution to music at a level that high, the band creates another solid and remarkably cohesive album. Created after the tragedy that befell their bassist Chi Cheng, the Deftones find an outlet for their grief in crafting an album that is consistently on-point without fault - an album that stands as the best of 2010. The entire album evokes feelings of nighttime rides, solitude, occasionally peace, and occasionally violence. 'I will save your life' indeed.
"I'll find a way I'll confuse them But think I can try"
should be...
"I'll find a way I'm confused ooo But I think I can try"
@BamBam57 i actually think that it's "im confused though, but i think i can try"

it makes more sense.

This song is amazing..! its obviously about Chi. Either from a family member or chino's perspective...
You can't talk I'm anxious I'm off the walls I'm right here just Come outside And see in But pack your heart You might need it
--Chi cant talk cuz hes in a coma, they are waiting for him always and they want him out of the hospital. hmm not sure how to interpret the last two lines.
I will find a way I'm confused, ohh But I think I can try I will save your life I will try for you
--He'll find a way to make Chi feel better altho he's confused about everything thats happening.
You're locked up You exit You did it before Yea I've seen it Come outside And breathe in Relax your arms And let me in
--here chino is telling Chi that he's been in worst situations before and has gotten out of them successfully.. "relax your arms and let me in" - come to me and give me a hug....?
I will find a way I'm confused, ohh But I think I can try I will save your life I will try for you
I know what to say to take you Higher, higher No one else can take you higher But I will try
--Chino or Chi's family know how to make him get thru this, words of inspiration, or music perhaps will help him.
hmm theres my 2 cents.. hope it helps.
This is the only song on the album that's directly about Chi and the feelings the accident brings to Deftones. They saved my life with this song in any case.
it's about a person who's stuck in an anxious position in its life, and it's subconscious telling him to get out from the room come outside !! and he says I will try, it's not easy as it seems..
This is one of those songs that is so powerful it controls your emotions. These are the songs i look for on the deftones albums. Beautiful work guys if u ever read this. Buy this cd.
This song is so amazing! My first time listening made hit that Diamond Eyes type repeat. He's definitely talking about more than a love song!
I know Chino has said in interviews that he really tried to step out of his own experience and perception when writing the lyrics to this records. So it makes me that that he might write as if it was from the perspective of someone else. I can't help but think this song was at least a little influenced by Chi's coma if not directly about it. Maybe he is writing from Chi's mother or family's perspective dealing with their son in such a state.
You're locked up You exhaled You did it before I seen it Come outside And breathe in Relax your arms And let me in
I get the image of someone encouraging another to get back to a point they once were able to reach. But for some reason the person is crippled with something. Fear? Anxiety? Depression? Being in a coma? Who knows, but the message is extremely powerful. "I will save your life." Literally trying everything you can to prevent another human being from passing away. This song gives me the fucking chills every time.
