| 10 Years – 11:00am (Daydreamer) Lyrics
| 14 years ago
|
|
This song is about Jesse and the band's friends who are envious of the band being famous and living "dream lives" while they are stuck in a cubicle, "9 to 5 in a suit and tie." Jesse is telling them to follow their dreams, just like he and the band followed their dreams. |

| 10 Years – Beautiful Lyrics
| 14 years ago
|
|
This song is about all of the celebrities who live their lives acting so stupidly in front of paparazzi. It's also about the misconstrued priorities in our society, where celebrities like Lindsay Lohan and Paris Hilton and Kim Kardashian are famous for nothing. They're beautiful, but pitiful at the same time. |

| Cold – Gone Away Lyrics
| 14 years ago

|
This song was written for the singer's daughter Starr. It's about their relationship, and about how he's always on the road touring ("gone away"). It's written TO Starr, because in the lyric "To keep you close I keep singing the same song" points to how he has to work to support his daughter, even though they're apart. Beautiful song. |

| System of a Down – Chop Suey! Lyrics
| 14 years ago

|
This song is about Jesus and religion in general. There are a lot of references to suicide ("self-righteous suicide") and God ("father, why have you forsaken me?"). It's about hiding from religion and disbelieving. |

This song is about alcoholism.
"Like father, stepfather, this son is drowning in the flood" obviously hints at alcoholism. Plus, there are a lot of references to beer and other alcoholic drinks. |

| 10 Years – Wasteland Lyrics
| 14 years ago
|
This song was written by Jesse about his cousin Brad Renfro, who passed away in 2008 after a long-time drug addiction. This song was written a few years ago, when Brad was still alive. Jesse was struggling with whether or not to interfere with Brad's addiction and try to help him, but Jesse recognized that it was too late to help Brad. The lyrics are from Jesse's viewpoint (Should I? Could I?) and Brad's viewpoint (But I will not hide you through this. I want you to help.)
RIP Brad. |

| 10 Years – Alabama Lyrics
| 14 years ago
|
Actually, Sic is wrong. I listened to Lewis and the guys in an interview, and he said that this song is called "Alabama" because of how it sounds (like Alabama blues/rock).
Also, when Jesse writes lyrics, they usually aren't political in connotation, but personal to his life and his friends' lives. This song is about someone in Jesse's life, someone he and the band knows, who acts this way, selfishly, and without remorse. |

| Deftones – Hexagram Lyrics
| 14 years ago
|
|
This song is about the relationship between the band and fans. "Worship" refers to the fans; "play" refers to the band. The lyric "all the animals make their way through the crowd" is a reference to concerts and the audience at concerts. At least, that's how I interpret the song. I also agree with the interpretation that the song is about war and religion. |

| Deftones – Cherry Waves Lyrics
| 14 years ago
|
This song is about sex...because the title is "CHERRY Waves." It's about the feelings and emotions attached to sex, most noticeably love. The lyric "It's like you, to stay down underneath. I'll swim down" is sexual in connotation.
Deftones lyrics aren't as literal as all of you are giving them credit for. |
