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".
