Lifter Lyrics

Cover art for Lifter lyrics by Deftones

This song, for some reason, makes me think that the narrator (chino) Is wanting a child and he’s wife/the woman he’s seeing doesn’t want a baby. “I want to be just like you” he is thinking that if he was her, he would be able to have the child for her. ”then I’d be cool… Maybe not” He becomes angry, and wants to leave her “kiss me goodbye, Whore” .. “Every knuckle wiped into her “ He beats her. Rapes her, just to get what he wants.

”I know, you fucking monster . I will never get what I want Inside... of her” She gets pregnant, and gets the baby terminated.. he yells at her “ I know what you did, you fucking monster” but later, he is grieving over what he has done to her and he feels horrible for putting her through all this shit, and he soon realises how pointless it all was. “a part of me gets pissed, a part of me gets sore”

as I said before, it's probably very wrong. Its just what comes to mind.
