This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
I get all numb
When she sings, then it's over
Such a strange numb
And it brings my knees to the earth
And God bless you all
For the song you sang us
You're the same numb
When you sing, it's over
Such a strange numb
It could bring back peace to the earth
So God bless you all
For the song you sang us all
For the hearts you break
Every time you moan
I get all numb
We're the same numb
And it brings our knees to the earth
So God bless you all
For the song you sang us all
For the hearts you break
Every time you moan
And God bless you all on the earth
When she sings, then it's over
Such a strange numb
And it brings my knees to the earth
And God bless you all
For the song you sang us
You're the same numb
When you sing, it's over
Such a strange numb
It could bring back peace to the earth
So God bless you all
For the song you sang us all
For the hearts you break
Every time you moan
I get all numb
We're the same numb
And it brings our knees to the earth
So God bless you all
For the song you sang us all
For the hearts you break
Every time you moan
And God bless you all on the earth

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
To me the message is quite clear. So hopefully I am able to clear it up for all of you. I'll start with this. In an interview with Chino, he stated that he is so captivated with the beauty of women. Not young women, but older women who carry with them a true sense of beauty. "They can change shit" he says.
Now I myself have an affinity towards women. I think they are so incredibly beautiful, especially when involved with some form of art. My gf draws pictures and paints and to see her work just completely puts me in rapture.
"Such a strange numb It could bring back peace to the earth"
The musical voice of a woman is capable of pacifying everyone, even while everyone stands with differing opinions and points of views, the beauty is what reminds us that we all have a heart and it can truly be interconnected.
"And God bless you all For the song you saved us... "
He is thanking all of the women singers of the world. For the song and the sweetness in their voice has truly brought him back to that place of warmth and love.
Minerva is the goddess of handicrafts and arts, as well as war, in roman religion. Chino sees how powerfully eloquent a woman can be in the dawn of her maturity. It doesn't have to be an old women, just one who has truly developed herself in good ways.
Wow thank you very much for ur explanation... is really clear and is such a beatifull song...
minerva was also thought to be the inventor of music. so that also says alot.
good interpretation.
For me it's all about art, and what it does to you and the emotions that blossom as a direct result of art. This website is a perfect example of how art/music moves hundreds of thousands of us to share our feelings with each other. The numbness is so strange because it is usually the second step after pain. The difference here is that beauty is what causes the numbness, which is enough to bring anyone to their knees in wonder.
A lot of people tell me Deftones is a horrible band, and they don't get why I love them. I myself, as an artist, can't understand why you wouldn't see anything beautiful at all in a song like this. It's peaceful, and it's lyrics definitely just fit in with the whole song. Most of my old friends just listened to screamo bands that all had lyrics to do with sex and drugs, and there really was no point to the songs, but Deftones makes pure ART. And yeah, art can be basically anything you want.... But I like this art better. :P This song seems to be about how everyone everywhere can be affected my music/art, feel peace and it's like a universal understanding. I just like how it all fits.... yeah.
I think it's def. all about the fans. How he feels about his fans and the way performing and making music makes him feel
I always sorta thought that there were many meanings to this song, but the most obvious to me is that it was about a woman that someone breaks up with many years before. Longing for their relationship to be back, they both are numb.
And yes, It's got many meanings, another one, is of course about the Deftones fans and the relationship between the fans and the band.
Holy smoke...what in the world does this song mean??
I don't know but its beautiful man
not too sure bout the meaning of this song.. but it grows on me more and more everytime i hear it... DEFTONES KIK!!!!!!!
i think it is a dedication to the fans...like how songs can save people..ya know?
awesome song with, i think, a very deep hidden message
