| Deftones – Phantom Bride Lyrics | 6 years ago |
| @[XCrusherX:23225] I totally agree with everything you said! Your explaination of the phantom bride makes total sense, and it's something that I've done many times in life. Sometimes we fall in love with the image in our head of what that person is or should be, when in reality they are not. This harkens into the idea of unrequited love as well, falling in love with the image of a person but not the actual person itself. It's fun looking in hindsight at all the times I've done this and hearing songs like this, and reading comments like yours bring me so much closure. Makes me know I'm totally crazy and others have observed it as well! | |

| @[topolovich:21289] I agree with you about David Gilmore playing the right note at the right time. That in itself is a skill that even the finest of musicians cannot master. A lot of kids think that the panacea of good musicianship is to shred up and down the scale for 10 mins. But that IMO is not it. It's the ability to beable to take a simple scale and tell a powerful story. That is what truly separates Gilmore from the rest. He can write a novel with like 4 notes. | |

I think the song is about the general apathetic attitude people have adopted today. A "who cares" type of mentality, "just another life, people die everyday, it is what it is" and here chester is saying "You say its just another light (life) flickering away, but I care" even if the song is not about that, its still resonates with me in that way. |

I don't know why, but hearing this song and the lyrics really hit home with video game addiction, specially MMORPG (Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game) If you ever played World of Warcraft or Final Fantasy, etc a lot of the players (myself included) feel just like this: "Inside of this all you create You hide from yourself You separate every belief That is true and you spend your life Attached to this poison You don't feel anything out of the way And its true that You spend your life trapped in this void Where you will stay always" - Your trapped in an online world that you use to escape reality. You "create" your avator/character and "hide from yourself" in this character. You "separate all your beliefs" you act like a troll or you are super edgy online and yell at people but that's not really you in real life. You spend hours and hours "trapped in the void" and grinding for gear and for exp to get more levels , it's like a slow poison on your life and you don't even care because maybe your real life isn't all that exciting or fulfilling, so you slowly waste the months and years working hard to collect digital items and achievements that ultimately have no meaning in life and can go away in a heart beat (servers shutting down, like City of heroes) " Get rid of this part riding you The same cold space You don't want to feel anything new You decided to spend your life Safe from emotion This way you'll never be harmed again Or confused now" -Same cold space, people who are addicted to MMO's often complain about changes "don't want to feel anything new" read any MMO forum and you will see half the players always pissed that this changed or that changed. They prefer "The same cold place" because its familiar. "You decide to spend your life, safe from emotion" I've done this and know other players that literally play games all their life, scared to feel any real emotions in real life and subistute there MMO life for real life. All there emotions and achievements come from beating hard bosses or collecting a rare item or piece of loot , but all of this is taking place "In the void, safe from emotion" ultimately once again, none of it matters. "You spend your life trapped in this void Where you will stay always You waste your life relaxed in your void Where you will drain all of you You spend your life stuck in your void Where you will stay always You waste your life relaxed in your void Where you will stay always You spend your life trapped in your void Where you will stay always" This is the part that is most truest about any MMO addict. You spend your life stuck grinding for levels, replaying the same dungeons, rebeating the same bosses, regrinding the same content over and over again in a delusional attempt of trying to be fulfilled. The sadest part is you are okay with it, like the lyrics say "You waste your life away, relaxed in your void" a lot of these players use the excuse its just a form of relaxtion, etc. But they are trapped and continue to "stay always" because they have invested so much time and energy into it. I dunno, maybe some reading this may resonate with me. Others may think its a load of crap and disagree, but for some reason when I heard this song it just instantly made me think of all this. |
