White Pony Lyric Meaning |
Commented by Chino
Feiticeira
"An old type of deftones song, with really cool rhythms and heavy soft dynamics. Its named after a Brazilian female, but its lyrically about a kidnapping scenario. it details a few hours of being held captive. there's a lot of dialogue in there that was fun to write."
Digital Bath
"Abe and I wrote this one, and I play guitar on it. its real celestial sounding with intimate singing. there's a big story behind it. most of the songs on this album are about different situations."
Elite
"probably the hardest song we have ever written. its really straight forward and doesn't have typical Deftones dynamics. its just heavy. I use a vocoder which gave my voice a demonic robot effect."
RX Queen
"The most futureistic sounding song. Abe and I created the drum loop - its a crazy, bionic rhythm. I wrote a seedy guitar line over it, and worked with Scott Weiland (Stone Temple Pilots) on the vocals for the bridge. he came up with a really cool harmony for me to sing"
Street Carp
"A classic Deftones song, with a rolling riff and some really interesting chords in the chorus. the vocals are kinda crazy - I'm singing out loud over the top of the music, like (The Smiths front man) Morrissey or something, a cool contrast"
Teenager
"This was originally a team sleep song. its acoustic and electric, with pink floydy keyboards. kinda trancey. lyrically, its a teenage love story, which sounds pretty goofy, but its actually alright"
Knife Party
the record company wanted this to be the first single, but I battled them because it was a little to weird. its a seductive song with a lot of violent imagery. people don't tend to like sex mixed with violence. the mid section has amazing vocals from a girl called Rodleen who worked next door tour studio"
Korea
"The first song we wrote for the record. we played it live on the us Ozzfest. real heavy and bouncy"
Passenger
this is the one with Maynard. its about being a passenger on a car journey - we have alot of car songs! Maynard and I trade off in the verses. its alot like a tool song, where it goes through different phases. me and Maynard have been friends for a while"
Change (In The House Of Flies)
"that's the first single we are putting out in America. its not mellow but very washy. its a bit like be quiet and drive. I play guitar on that one too. its a beautiful metamorphis"
Pink Maggot
"It starts off really spacey and freaky with just guitars, vocals and turntables. then it turns into just me, and ends up a triumphant anthem about being on top of the world and feeling like the coolest kid in school"| home | ||
