the goosebumps are so real, deftones is the only band to consistently give me chills when i heard their songs for the first time. my favorite band of all time for sure
While they intentionally leave most of thier song meanings open ended, It always seemed to me this song was about being in a relationship where you are the one doing everything and the other party is not near the same level of dedication.
A lot of Deftones songs are about toxic relationships if you dissect them. Dynamics and themes you can find in narcissistic and borderline relationships
to me the song is about mental illness. The “waves” are sucking someone into a deep depression and “cherry” alluding to blood and suicidal ideation. If someone were to sink deep under the waves, gasping for air, wanting to come back up but stuck he would get them and pull them back up, but he’s just asking would they do that for him? or would they let him drown?
Thanks for the reaction. There so are so many other gems they have. Like Passenger, Minerva, Knife Party, Diamond Eyes, Sex Tape, My own Summer… So many out there
The song is about the struggles with addiction. The waves keep sucking you in and you drown. If I stay down would you swim down with me. Is that what you want? One trying to swim to shore but the waves keeps pulling you back in and you start to drown together. It's haunting sound gives it that edge of emotion and pain you feel when consumed by an addiction.
I listened to this album for the first time when i was like 12 years old, and it's still one of my favourites, if you liked it you should listen Xerces, Hole in the Earth or Kimdracula
So stoked you listened to this song! For ambiance, Rosemary is gonna be a fantastic one. As for lyrics, Deftones is one of the only bands I don't really focus on lyrics for. They tend to be more of a vibe than something to ascribe true meaning to in a relational aspect.
To answer your question about the lyrics - this song is about trust. "If like, you should sink down beneath, i'll swim down. Would you?" He's using the visual of two people hugging a plank of debris in the open ocean as a metaphor. He knows he'd risk himself to save the other person, but isn't sure if he could trust the other person to do the same thing for him
Soooo HAPPY you enjoyed this.. ill do a little dive to see what youve heard and maybe tell you of some of the rest that are MUSTS!! ❤❤❤ I dont think im alone in saying to absolutely soak up each song as its new..and you are falling in love with it for the first time! Id love to go back and experience this band all over again.. ugh 😂 Enjoy the ride man..enjoy it!! ❤Much Love, Brandi, Detroit
A sea of waves we hug the same plank (Saw your end) Just as I'd rehearsed over in my brain (Saw your end) The waves suck you in and you drown If like, you should sink down beneath I'll swim down, would you? You? You hang the anchors over my neck (Saw your end) I liked it at first but the more you laughed The crazier I came The waves suck you in then you drown If like, you'd just stay down with me I'll swim down with you Is that what you want? You Is that what you want? Wave Wave Inside If like, you should stay down beneath I'll swim down Would you? Is that what you want? Would you? Is that what you want? With you? You Escape Below Escape Below
That bassist is Chi Cheng RIP

deftones is the only band to consistently give me chills when i heard their songs for the first time. my favorite band of all time for sure
Deftones songs, like this one, continue to give me goosebumps after hundreds of listens even!
100% this. Me too
Deftones has mastered the heavy backgrounds with the soft melody
While they intentionally leave most of thier song meanings open ended, It always seemed to me this song was about being in a relationship where you are the one doing everything and the other party is not near the same level of dedication.

Could not have said it better myself brother.

I relate this song to death of someone special.

A sea of waves we hug the same plank
(Saw your end)
Just as I'd rehearsed over in my brain
(Saw your end)
The waves suck you in and you drown
If like, you should sink down beneath
I'll swim down, would you?
You?
You hang the anchors over my neck
(Saw your end)
I liked it at first but the more you laughed
The crazier I came
The waves suck you in then you drown
If like, you'd just stay down with me
I'll swim down with you
Is that what you want?
You
Is that what you want?
