Rocket Skates Lyrics

Cover art for Rocket Skates lyrics by Deftones

its about being in a long term relationship with someone, and having a mutual dislike for each other:

[You're red, soaking wet I'm right next to you You're red, soaking wet]

Since you cant stand each other, you just do all these things to piss each other off

[Let's writhe, let me see you trip One move that will keep you wet]

because they know each other so well, and give each other their deepest vulnerabilities,

[[Let's fall in a long sadistic trance Put the keys in our hands]

They have an assortment of things they can threaten to say to seriously hurt each other emotionally:

[Guns, razors, knives Fuck with me]

and with knowing how to piss them off, they also know how to charm each other like no one else can; something special and romantic for them is being under the stars together, and all the fighting and negatives feelings wash away:

[Let's sail in this sea of charms Let's drown underneath the stars]

So they continue being together and do the things they both enjoy doing, like drinking, partying, whatever, and mutually know they want to always be together in this 'trance' even if they have to up with the guns, razors, and knives:

Let's drink with our weapons in our hands Let's sleep in this trance
