I'd meet you in wrong
Bury all, then I would be right with her
In whole, cherished by two

It makes you fly; yes, I'll lie
God, I'll even lick her fucking picture
In whole, drinks won't stain this birth

It's just me; I'm bored
Carried lung now, I could be right in her
In whole, cherished by two

It makes you fly; yes, I'll lie
Drink one more so I could go right in her
In whole, drinks won't stain this birth

It makes you fly inside
It makes you fly inside
It makes you fly inside
It makes you fly inside

In spite I want to lie
In spite I will lie

In spite, I'll still lie
In spite, I'll still lie
In spite, I'll still lie
In spite

    General Comment:Reading Chino's early lyrics, I really hope he's transcended these issues....i think we can all relate though in some way or another.

    My Interpretation:i see it as chinos first temptation with a ridiculously hot groupie but having to cheat on his gf for it.

    I'd meet you in wrong
    (just a fan backstage)
    Bury all then I would be right with her
    (ignore that everyone says that he shouldnt)
    In whole, cherished by two
    (overall, it does take two to tango, right?)

    It makes you fly, yes I'll lie
    (sex with her would be the best drug ever, so he will tell her he is available)
    God I'll even lick her fuckng picture
    (well, she is THAT hot)
    In whole, drinks won't stain this birth
    (drinking more wont ruin this new experience, it will help him forget about his gf at home)

    It's just me, I'm bored
    (feels lonely w/o his girl around him so..)
    Carried lung now I could be right in her
    (fuck it, hes the singer of the band and can easily do whatever he wants)
    In whole, cherished by two
    (lets get it on)

    It makes you fly, yes I'll lie
    Drink one more so I could go right in her
    (has one more drink to trick himself to going thru with it)
    In whole, drinks won't stain this birth

    It makes you fly (4x)
    In spite I want to lie
    In spite I will lie
    In spite I'll still lie(3x)
    In spite!
    (in spite of knowing its wrong he will go ahead and fuck this chick anyway)

    General Comment:Maybe he has a girlfriend that is pregnant, and he's and alcoholic. She decided to leave him because of his drinking problem, hence, he's obsessed with getting her back, so he'll even lie about being an alcoholic.

    General Comment:cherished by two may symbolize the character (chino most likely) cherishing this girl that he will take advantage of and the girl cherishing him because she doesnt know better. its a common deftones topic imo,

    General Comment:"Have you ever received a phone call (mobile) while you were listen to music, near to a speaker? For example in the car?
    If yes, you sure know that it makes a weird sound...some kind of a sound interference or something. That's just what happens on "Birthmark" (Adrenaline's track no.8). It starts after Chino says "In spite I will lie..." and before he starts screaming "In spite I'll still lie!".
    It's between 3:10 and 3:20 in "Birthmark's" running time. Every time I listen to it seems like my mobile phone is ringing...

    Note: That sound is actually produced by gently rubbing the flat part of your pick on the upper 3 or 4 strings in a fast circular motion. Start at the pickups and slowly move down the strings towards the nut - this causes the pitch of the "interference" sound to drop, and also leads naturally into the next chord in the song. Depending on your pickup buzz and level of distortion, you might have to lightly mute the strings with your left hand around the 3rd or 4th fret as you do the circular pick scrape. (thanks to Andrea)"


    thats that guitar cat choking sounding damn thing i always wondered what it was, its sick tho

    General Comment:Chino is pro feminism, it's clear in songs like Lotion, Minerva, Moana.. etc But I still dont know what the hell it means. He seems to contradict himself at certain points in the lyrics

    General Comment:Adrenaline is a great album

    I have to say its about a one night stand

    maybe taking a girls virginity and convincing her
    like in the movie KIDS

    General Comment:Love this song.

    I pretty much agree with everyone else. I think he wants this girl and wants to take advantage of her. And maybe she ran into him at the wrong time because he just wants someone to have sex with...anyone. Maybe this girl is gullible and just dreamy all the time. He's going to lie to her, because he knows that she'll fall for whatever he says. " It makes you fly" He's probably trying to get her drunk so she'll sleep with him. That's just how I interpret it.
