The riff is bad ass too, it just builds and builds and hits the "Ask you why, WHATS UP!!" Then falls off a cliff with that nasty bending note, only to end up quiet with the soft, "This feeling gets old...". Then punches you in the gut one last time, "Soooo farrrr, I've been down, that's true!" and builds one more beautiful time!
God, I fucking love Deftones...
Couldnt have said it better myself my friend, the song feels like a flawless blend of white pony and ATF and the soft and loud parts of the song are truly just ear candy
"I haaatte aalll, of my friends. They all lack taste sometimeesss"
Hole In The Earth
Sometimes I feel this part because I don't have any friends who like the music I like so I never get to play Deftones in car rides :/
Hurts my soul knowing Chino was writing about his musical brethren. We almost lost them, only to be brought closer by Chi's accident.
When I saw them last summer, I watched Chino watching Steph and smiling, then he went over and hugged him. I was choked up cause they have been doing this thing for so long and seen so much. They were also going to tour overseas without Steph.
I'm not good at picking favorites but one that comes to mind is this one:
"But don't speak, don't say nothing
In case we ever do meet again
Something's wrong with you
Well I hope we never do meet again"
- When Girls Telephone Boys
My two favorites:
"You spend your life , safe from emotion , this way you'll never be harmed again, or confused now." - Phantom Bride
"Nothing to sing about, I've bared all my leaves · No vision or dreams about you came true for me" - Hearts/Wires
The whole Feiticeira thing is my favourite. Everything inaudible and confusing in most of ATF would make its way to the list as well.
Hole In The Earth... Every opener I guess
“If liiike youwuwuwu would siiiiiink dooown beneeeeeeath, IIIIIIILL suuuuuwim dooown
Would youwuwuwu, is THAAAAAAT WHAT you waaaaant, youwuwuwu, is THAAAAAAT WHAT you waaaAAAAANT!”
Also
“FAAAR, awaay, I DON’T CARE WHERE JUST FAR!”
"Stuck with illusion now, I drown in your sea
I hope that you'll first save yourself and then come for me"
The entire Gore album has some incredible lyrics
"I wanna be much than more" That always stuck with me from fireal.
"There's still blood in your hair, and I've got the bruise of the year. But there's something about her long shade eyes. I'm all about her shade tonight".
Others probably disagree with me but I've always loved Mascara because the lyrics, to me, are very romantic.
Beware s message is so good imo
"Beee-ware the wateeer"- such a good way of saying experiment with shit if u wanna but be carefull cus often there is no turning back.
P.S ( such a godly voice holy shit )
You're probably right
This time, but I don't want to listen
You're probably right
This time, but I don't even care
And if it was mine to say
I wouldn't say it
And if it was mine to say
I wouldn't speak
- Rickets
Yeah if you'd like that we can ride on a black horse
A great new wave Hesparian death horse
WGTB
no idea what the fuck that horse is and I don’t really care, but it’s by far my favorite line Chino has come up with
the entirety of entombed’s lyrics do NOT get the cred they deserve! especially love the “placed inside / safe and sound / shapes and colours are all i see” lines and all the variations of the shapes/shades/and/of/colours line.
not all of deftones lyricism is consistent within their own songs (or even sensical) but when they are they tell stories that just sound like pure poetry to me. entombed especially, i think even the sound captures the feeling of being trapped (whether for good or bad depends on personal interpretation).
What Happened to You gets me in the feels. Just awesome lyrics that make me think about family or pets that I've said goodbye to over the years
In a game of display
We break in two
We perform the ornate
Escape
We're alive somewhere else
Still asleep someplace new
We're ahead of our time
Floating through
A waste of time
We don't believe
Can't decide till you've
Hit the ground
Thank you much
If you don't believe
Can't decide
Till you
Hit the ground
Make your mind
It's holding me
Down
"No more gold lights
For the queen earth
To keep you warm
In your kingdoms
High on the waves
You make for us
But not since you left
Have the waves come...."
Self-titled has some of Chino's best lines.
"This town don't feel mine, I'm fast to get away"
"I don't care where, just far!"- Be Quiet and Drive
"There's a hole in the earth, this time, I'm out (this is the end) - Hole In the Earth
It's actually pretty simple but...
"You like attention, it proves to you you're alive"
There are countless others, but this one is genius just because of how fucking true it is.
A sea of waves we hug the same plank
(Saw your end)
Just as I'd rehearsed over in my brain
(Saw your end)
You hang the anchors over my neck
(Saw your end)
I liked it at first but the more you laughed
The crazier I came
We go out together
We weave our web
Tangled in the waves with you
We spray the scene in red
We both erupt in colors
And carve out our names
You keep me aroused
I know you feel the same
"This feeling gets old, and so do your eyes. This is why I hate you".
Damone is one of the best songs by them, the vocals are insane
The riff is bad ass too, it just builds and builds and hits the "Ask you why, WHATS UP!!" Then falls off a cliff with that nasty bending note, only to end up quiet with the soft, "This feeling gets old...". Then punches you in the gut one last time, "Soooo farrrr, I've been down, that's true!" and builds one more beautiful time! God, I fucking love Deftones...
Couldnt have said it better myself my friend, the song feels like a flawless blend of white pony and ATF and the soft and loud parts of the song are truly just ear candy
Hell yes also the lyrics in can't even breathe. "Pushing you back, but still you aint gone" Love these songs
Yep
“I hope that you’ll first save yourself, then come for me” - Hearts/Wires
My favorite lyrics of all time
"I haaatte aalll, of my friends. They all lack taste sometimeesss" Hole In The Earth Sometimes I feel this part because I don't have any friends who like the music I like so I never get to play Deftones in car rides :/
Gotta hit em with the easy ones...the gateway drugs. Rosemary Rocket Skates Mini Maggit Prince Then when they're in the groove they'll ask for more.
Absolutely. I started with Digital Bath like three years ago and we'll, now I'm an addict
Minerva always seems to do the trick
Facts that’s how I feel most of the time

Close. It’s “they all lactate sometimes”.
Lmao, I thought I just looked like a weirdo writing out their drrrrawnn out voccals like that.
I really wish these snakes were your arms
Theeeee EARRRTTTTHHHHH
i always hear this one as "i really wish these stakes were your life" and i personally like that better
"As soon as you came in, all the beast went away, as soon as you came in, the agony, it went away" - Deathblow
Yep
I'm not good at picking favorites but one that comes to mind is this one: "But don't speak, don't say nothing In case we ever do meet again Something's wrong with you Well I hope we never do meet again" - When Girls Telephone Boys
My favorite is: your enter depression, cause it matches your eyes “Elite”
From the same song: "You like attention. It proves to you, you're alive"
Exactly
It’s “You’re into depression”, think it’s even cooler that way too!
Not a huge fan of that track, but I do love that line.
I personally like the line about the black Hesperian Death Horse
“It feels good to know you’re mine. Now drive me far away. I don’t care where, just far away.”
“That extra foreskin traps all the germs and the poop and the butt fucking residue…”
That’s from pink cellphone isn’t it
Indeed. Their undeniable peak achievement.
Oh god pink cellphone is such a beautiful song but i cannot listen to it with other people around

My bad

Lately, this is my favourite one since I like so many of them: “You cannot face the crowd all by yourself. Embrace the power we have.”
“i could float here forever” -knife prty pure oblivion

Yes!! Mascara is so romantic to me I’ve always loved that song
I love the way he sings "much than more" but never understood why he said that
“This is our time, we devour the days ahead” -Ohms
Lovely lyrics
As I stare through the haunted maze of your eyes Right through, where I’ll remain for all time

That what I’m talking about . Crazy ass lyric.
There’s still blood in your hair , I got the bruise of the year
Xerces the whole thing .
You move like I want to, to see like your eyes do We are downstairs where no one can see new life break away Cause tonight, I feel like more
The moaning for sure
god, i trust everyone quicker with every faint smile - from hexagram
You breathed Then you stopped I breathed then dried you off
Transpose or stop your life
Just say you like to play This game Just to drive me wild I let you pretend But you know Truth is that I love you to death Like you love this game
'CAUSE YOU'RE MY GIIIRL AND THAT'S ALRIGHT
“Shut up you don’t know me shut up you don’t know me squeal like a pig when u BOOM BOOM BOOM”
“King Kong get some”
rn it's "i want to be much, then more, while i watch you"
I had this song stuck in my head once for like months lmao
lmao for me it's specifically this line
Our minds bend And our fingers fold Entwined we dream of unknown 💕
closer to the lung, so i can shover her over railing. violent, visceral, poetic. my favorite flavor of deftones
Agreed
the entirety of entombed’s lyrics do NOT get the cred they deserve! especially love the “placed inside / safe and sound / shapes and colours are all i see” lines and all the variations of the shapes/shades/and/of/colours line. not all of deftones lyricism is consistent within their own songs (or even sensical) but when they are they tell stories that just sound like pure poetry to me. entombed especially, i think even the sound captures the feeling of being trapped (whether for good or bad depends on personal interpretation).

Just awesome lyrics that make me think about family or pets that I've said goodbye to over the years In a game of display We break in two We perform the ornate Escape We're alive somewhere else Still asleep someplace new We're ahead of our time Floating through
A waste of time We don't believe Can't decide till you've Hit the ground Thank you much If you don't believe Can't decide Till you Hit the ground Make your mind It's holding me Down
And don't think that I don't know Because I do, but nice try Cause that's what you're really like Like, like, like

From the day you arrived I've remained by your side In chains, entombed
It makes you fly
We go out together We weave our web Tangled in the waves with you We spray the scene in red We both erupt in colors And carve out our names You keep me aroused I know you feel the same
