Knife Party Lyrics

My knife is sharp and chrome
Come see inside my bones

All of the fiends are on the block
I'm the new king
I taste the queen
In here we are all anemic
In here anemic and sweet

So go get your knife
Go get your knife
And come in
So go get your knife
Go get your knife
And lay down
So go get your knife
Go get your knife
Now kiss me

I can float here forever
In this room
We can't touch the floor
In here we're all anemic
In here anemic and sweet

So go get your knife
Go get your knife
And come in
So go get your knife
Go get your knife
And lay down
So go get your knife
Go get your knife
Now kiss me

For me, this song symbolizes the balance of a relationship. The Knife is symbolizes an emotional weapon for hurting your partner, which happens in every relationship. The chorus is the re-claim between being hurt (or to hurt) and the positive aspects..

I guess, I cannot explain this in English :D But it's one of my favs! :)

Rodleen Giecek reminds me of Clare Torry who sang on Pink Floyd's "The Great Gig in the Sky"

Cover art for Knife Party lyrics by Deftones

it was inspired by a bizarre party on the tour bus. abe collects knives and everyone was dancing round the bus with a knife. it became a band joke because of how silly is was and then chino made up a fake scenario from it -

"I made up this fake scenario of some kind of underworld society of knives, people who just get off on these erotic fantasies," he says. "Or something like that. An 'Eyes Wide Shut' kind of thing." - Chino

@nayr Most interviews I find with Chino on this song relate to it being about "sex and violence" no mention of this party.

When that woman starts singing it gives me gooseybumps!

"It's based on a actual party Abe and I invented. It's kind of spooky, but it's kind of funny in the way it all came about. Abe ended up getting hurt at the last knife party, so I don't think we'll be having one for awhile." -C. Moreno

Knifes are phallics symbols that play as images in our dreams, or heavy unconcious psychedelic use. I think the song has some reference to the act of a rape, hence the girl screaming in the bridge of the song. "Go get your knife, go get your knife, and lay down"

My Interpretation

I was always hoping for some crazy weird meaning behind this song. But nope.

@Synaptik This song is about heroin.

Cover art for Knife Party lyrics by Deftones

This song is about how drugs (meth in particular) are how Chino gets the feeling of a teenager cutting their wrist (this may be a reach) "all of the friends are on the block" I think this is talking about finding for meth which can make you "anemic". "Go get your knife and kiss me" explains how he is doing meth with his partner and they are dragging each other down in my opinion. Now cutting your wrist can also make you anemic which I feel like could be the reason why he says we are all anemic because we all have different ways to cope with hardships of life. His are drugs and other are cutting. Both of which can give you a floating sensation hence "I can float here forever".

Negative
Subjective
Sadness
