The song is simply about watching a loved one (whether it be a romantic partner, friend, or family member) change negatively and how it's one of the most heartbreaking things you'll ever see in your life.
I watched you change Into a fly I looked away You were on fire I watched a change in you It's like you never had wings Now, you feel so alive I've watched you change I took you home Set you on the glass I pulled off your wings Then I laughed I watched a change in you It's like you never had wings Now, you feel so alive I've watched you change It's like you never had wings Aah, aah, aah, aah Aah, aah, aah, aah Aah, aah I look at the cross Then I look away Give you the gun Blow me away I watched a change in you It's like you never had wings Now, you feel so alive I've watched you change Now, you feel alive You feel alive You feel alive I've watched you change It's like you never had wings Aah, aah, aah, aah Aah, aah, aah, aah Aah, aah You've changed You've changed You've changed
Going off the video it makes think of that feeling when the sun's coming up and everyone is strung out. The drugs are wearing off and the hangover is kicking in. It's not a fun feeling.
I’ve seen this video a dozen times. But today I feel as though I’m seeing it through fresh eyes. At first I thought they were playing amongst the party people, but looking closer, I can see that they are all apart from them. It’s like they’re experiencing someone else’s memory of the events of that night. The muted color schemes, the pictures within pictures and each band member seemingly green screened into different scenes adds to the surreal and dream-like atmosphere of the video. My belief is that it’s not about any particular person, but just change in general. Change can be hard and painful, but stagnation is hell on earth. Going to the same bar or the same party pad with the same people and doing the same things over and over again for years can get tiring. You wake up one day and wonder where all that time went. Forward motion is the only way to overcome that stagnation. I think this is Chino looking back on those memories, and being painfully aware of all of this.
Just discovered this band. I was listening passively through a metal playlist and this came on and my attention was instantly drawn in, blown away. It's like a constant 4 minute eargasm
This song has a deep melancholy to it - you can tangibly feel the anxiety/sadness/depression in it, but it’s beautifully presented with overwhelming energy. I’ve always been drawn to the way they express these emotions simultaneously
This song is like that feeling when you finally give yourself towards something you once said you would never do only to discover who you really were all along.. "i watched a change in you, it's like you never had wings"
The happiest depression I've ever felt. After a divorce this song really helped me through alot. I literally watched her change from what she was to something I didn't know right in front of me.
@Wiegraf well it isn't to them. To each their own dude. I'm not here criticizing your taste in music. Could be excellent or it could be bland, doesn't matter to me. It's yours.
As an adult, and giving respekt to my own life experiences at 39 versus my teen years when this song kame out; This song hits me way different. I legit feel this shit right now. To each their own. But also it was the greatest song i was listening to while listening to it. Time passes you know? This song has it's place.
2:39 looks like a young Homelander! (I checked, I don't think it is Anthony Starr but still). 24 years later and this song still gives me goosebumps. I saw Deftones at Reading 2000 just as they were touring White Pony. It is still (to me) the absolute pinnacle of their career and still holds up as a unique album today.
This Hispanic guy at my high school drove me home one day randomly and he was jamming this in his car. I asked him the next day what it was called and I would play it on repeat while going to bed for a week straight. As a black adolescent, I wasn’t use to this style of music fell in love and started listening to nickelback, creed, 9 inch nails etc. good times! I miss the 90s
My house has mice mold & roaches & im sick I won't clean cause of my ocd & it makes me depressed to see all of it so I just live in it. When I was shot maggots crawled around my arm. I don't want to die I want to rot & suffer & be disgusting.
Always loved that dark mysterious sound about this band, it’s like it slowly draws you in without you realizing it. Next thing you know you’re entranced by their magic
Sactown native.. and this song hits waaaay harder in 2024 @44yrs old dad of 4 almost 5.. out here in Mid Coast Maine.. which already feels like a late 90s early 00s vibe.. what a great song..
The better version of depression, this makes me wanna live to the fullest, and makes me depressed, but it's soothing, appealing to my ears, violent, scary, insane, drives me crazy, smacks my mind, depresses me, but I'm already depressed, but negative and negative is never negative, it's positive. So this song just makes me wanna thrive my life, I'm living myself inside my head more than ever. This song is life
This was the second Deftones track I heard after Kim Dracula in the mid 2000s. Needless to say, I became a die hard fan. Chino's voice is so intense. Only 90s kids can truly understand the power and magic of Deftones.
Witnessing my mom get lost in alcoholism from the age of 12 to over 7 years later, the lyrics “I watched you change into a fly I looked away you were on fire” are so accurate it hurts. This song and Scars by Papa Roach are the only songs I’ve found that portray the disparity of losing someone to addiction
I’m so sorry. I’m going through it with my mom. It really sucks. It sucks that they have to want help. And acknowledge that they need it. It’s something I wouldn’t wish on anybody.
My friend loved this song. Was the first person to show it to me. He passed last month from suicide. Ive been really listening to the lyrics the past couple weeks and can now see how deeply this song related to his life. “I watched you change, its like you never had wings” couldnt be more true. Slowly depression takes over a person until before you know it, theyre consumed. I wish I would have stayed in touch with this person. I hope theyre in a better place. 24 is way too young to die. I haven’t felt the same since their passing. RIP friend. Life is cruel.
I lost 2 of my closest friends from overdose and suicide. The pain will never leave you. When you need to cry, cry. Do things you two talked about doing. Take his memory with you wherever you go. It's part of you now. And when you feel the need. Talk to him. He's listening. Believe me, he's listening. Turn this into motivation! Look what I did! Look, that's my son/daughter! It's a sad thing. And it'll never leave. So, when you're thinking of him in sad time's. Think of gum in happy time's! Carry his memory, like a true friend would do. And don't worry, you WILL see him again. I know this as fact. You will see him again. Have peace in you. Only you can do it. Only you...
Have to confess, to be a teenager in the year White Pony came out is one of the best things i remember coming of age. AND the music video is like a swan song for its generation. A ferawell party to the old state of world, like, you had it, and now its time to leave it behind and things have to move further. Lyrics and melody just gives me that feeling of bittersweet impassive last moment with something that is gone and it ends with break away. This vibe to me is heavily felt in the record and it came out on the wave of very special moment in gen x history : Matrix, Fight Club, Lost Highway, Eyes Wide Shut. The time of social dystopian exposition, edgy fashion, , internet, anime, electronic music, heroin chic, rebellion, occultism, consumerism complex, cynicism of wealth, escape from banal and emotional deplete. You really felt the change (bum tss) and this was first time i heard a heavy band sound exactly how i felt, like i was a part of something fresh, advanced, creative.
not really a key change. it's just the third chord of the scale, eb major, which is the relative major to c minor - the key the song's played in. that's why it gives u that uplifting feeling i suppose. def hits u hard and i love it too
@@blackswan1301 no it's not. a key change by definition is the change from one tonality to another, which is not what's happening here. the chord eb major is still in the same tonality of c minor
Nirvana, Alice in chains, these guys, not a coincidence that when mainstream music is as fake and bullsh!t as it is people like real people you know actual human beings YEARN for the best forms of self expression
@@МорскаяКапуста-щ9лwell. Since this song was released in the year 2000 and it is now 2023....yes. 23 years. Lmfao I had to Google it myself because I was thinking there's no effing way, but we are getting old bud😅
When I found this song I saw myself changing for the better. I came out of such a dark place it felt amazing. Life was so good I’ll never forget the fall and winter of 2023.
Yes it sure does, i love it. Im a bit older than most here in the comments i guess, but that means ive had a lot of life's experiences, good and bad. I think its a super song, and ive always loved that huge sound Deftones have, the guitars just roar.
When I first met my boyfriend in 2011 he said "for some reason this song reminds me of you, the line about the angel wings, but I don't mean it in a bad way" 12 almost 13 years later and everything we went through and I listen back to it now, he wasn't wrong when he said those words to me, he just didnt know it yet, but sadly, I already knew he wasn't wrong because I was secretly struggling with a tremendous heroin addiction that only got worse over the next two years living with him and his family and when it finally came to light, I already destroyed everything around us. But he still stuck with me, even with a few more years of addiction, lies, mistakes and struggles. Im finally doing good now, just celebrated 8 years in my program to stay clean and blessed to say he is still here sticking with me by my side to this day❤ and have also seen deftones in concert together 😊
It's not easy but it gets easier as the years pass. My wife stuck by me the same way and I'm eternally grateful. Still making eighteen years later. Congrats on your sobriety
@@Reed5016 This song was used in the soundtrack in one of the movies. Which is why people are paying their respects to Akira (creator of DBZ) in the comments.
This song really embodies that 90s feeling. The music, the fashion, the movies. Not even in a 100% positive way either, but pure nostalgia to a time where not everything was perfect but it was real. A time we will never get back.
@@simonberthiaume6585obviously the sound in 2000 is going to have a 90's sound to it, versus be the sound we heard by, say, 2005. This song is definitely a 90's vibe.
I watched you change Into a fly I looked away You were on fire I watched a change in you It's like you never had wings Now, you feel so alive I've watched you change I took you home Set you on the glass I pulled off your wings Then I laughed I watched a change in you It's like you never had wings Now, you feel so alive I've watched you change It's like you never had wings Aah, aah, aah, aah Aah, aah, aah, aah Aah, aah I look at the cross Then I look away Give you the gun Blow me away
Most definitely, I’m not a huge rock fan ( a song here and there) but yah my first time hearing a snippet came from that Goku transformation, scene. It took me +20 years to finally think of looking this song up,SMH😂😂 Glad I tapped in though, song is 🔥 👍🏼🔥
This reminds me of when my older brother told his new baby momma that i died in a train crash when i was younger then i popped up into his life uninvited
My buddy Jakob played this song while i was drawing with him a few days ago. Im glad he left me with something before he left this life. R.I.P. Jakob. Thank you.
I remember riding the metro bus home from school one day back in the year 2000. I was 15 and we were living in a hotel at the time and there was a Kmart across the street. I got bored and walked over, looked through some CDs, and walked out with White Pony. When I got back I sat out on the balcony with my Discman and listened to the whole album start to finish. That day I became a Deftones fan for life, and now over 23 years later I still listen to White Pony from beginning to end sometimes just to get a little bit of that feeling from the first time I heard it!
A middle school boyfriend introduced me to the deftones and I haven’t listened to them in years he passed away from a heroin overdose and this song just came on randomly and watching this video it hit different now that I’ve been there got 80 days clean from heroin after a 3 year battle. Never thought to much about the video and lyrics till now.
As a 16 year old right now with no friends and one of the most quiet in my school they only thing that keeps me busy is deftones. Keeps me distracted from dark thoughts and makes me think there is a light out there but it's only accessible with change.
The only way you can truly change is to be born again. I hear music differntly now when i incorperate my religon and positivity. Change,all i need is you, ect. All i need is god,change my walk from the dark to the light.
Your 16... Your whole life is in front of you. Do the very best you can in school and focus on what you want to do after and take life by the horns and go do that shit
My wife has her own business for 6 years... Got into real estate last year and took a new job last week as project manager renovating the houses she'll get to sell... She grew up in the hood in Dallas. Only white girl in her school.. life's a bitch. Fuck it
I listen to this track 10 times a day. The beauty and intensity shines through. It will never age. I do not find it depressing in the slightest. Just superb.
This song hits different when I realized that years after our breakup, she glowed so much and I essentially became a doomer and spiralled down in self-loathing. She's happy now, way happier. Edit: 2yrs have passed, I'm not getting better.
I was two years clean relapsed a week ago and I've been in the hospital for 3 days almost lost my hand it's funny how certain songs that made an impact on you when you heard them for the first time can hit you different at different points in your life things will get better my friend I promise
@@justinniemeier3581 I am in a very similar situation. I relapsed after 5 years clean. But I am clean again and on the better side. You will be here soon. Keep your head up. I can definitely relate to watching someone extremely close to me spiral and then end up in a better position without (than) me.
discovered deftones at age 11.... became my favorite band ever. i'm now 36 and still in love with them. the music is seduction and sex. can't really explain. only thing close to this is TOOL... but deftones is life. there will never be another.
I cry when I hear this. After so many years of feeling dead inside due to addiction this brings everything to the surface. Time wasted, relationships burned, friends who've died, everything that's been buried.
Lyrics here: I watched you change Into a fly I looked away You're on fire I watched a change in you It's like you never had wings And you feel so alive I have watched you change I took you home Set you on the glass I pulled off your wings Then I laughed I watched a change in you It's like you never had wings Now you feel so alive I have watched you change It's like you never had wings Anh, ahah Anh, ahah Anh, ahah Anh, ahah Anh, ahah I look at the cross And I look away Give you the gun Blow me away I watched a change in you It's like you never had wings Now you feel so alive I have watched you change And you feel alive You feel alive You feel alive I have watched you change It's like you never had wings Anh, ahah Anh, ahah Anh, ahah Anh, ahah Anh, ahah You change You change You change
"Change (In The House Of Flies)" I've watched you change Into a fly I looked away You were on fire I watched a change In you It's like you never Had wings Now you feel So Alive I've watched you change I took you home Set you on the glass I pulled off your wings Then I laughed I watched a change In you It's like you never Had wings Now you feel So alive I've watched you change It's like you never Had wings ahhh ahh ahhh I look at the cross Then I look away Give you the gun Blow me away I've watched a change In you It's like you never Had wings Now you feel So Alive I've watched you change. Now you feel Alive You Feel Alive I've watched you change It's like you never Had wings ahhh ahh ahhh
I don't know how I've gone 25 years without listening to this band like I knew they existed but never gave them a listen. But I just really started listening to them.
I like lots of bass and then different layers of other sound over it. Several different speakers each set up with an individual sound and volume settings is awesome!
It's kind of crazy looking back. This song was an official hit. I can't even imagine a song like this playing on today's radio, let alone it being a hit. What happened???
We had the closest thing to the grunge scene of the 90's where alternative music (not just numetal) got popular again. Give it 5 years and more alternative music will be on the radio again - it's a reaction to lame music.
Prodigy Jones Of course you heard this on the radio. Stations have to play old stuff like this because there aren't any new hits like this anymore. Bands like this and music like this used to be everyday. Now they are regulated to one specific station given a specific time slot. Where are the NEW hard music hits? Honestly, the last new hard music hit I remember was System's BYOB. These songs weren't niche songs back in the early 2000s, they were real hits that could be heard everywhere by everyone. Not just rockers dug this kind of music, everyone used to be into it. Outside of metalcore and industrial, I really don't hear any new hard bands anymore. It is very interesting to me how those heavier melodic sounds have disappeared from the mainstream.
I experienced this song in my life... I met a girl years ago who was into the rave scene and hard drugs and dragged me into this house party lifestyle... I loved the lifestyle at the time but after a while of being on drugs and alcohol 24/7 I became burnt out and realized the hollow nature of it all..... I saw the fights, the cheating, the overall dysfunctional youth drowned in sex, drugs and mayhem but it ended horrible for alot of people I knew... Godbless deftones for showing the truth of partying in a song Evan tho they were on hard drugs at the time :/
This was actually the first song I heard from this band. I did some digging afterwards, went back to when Chino had dreads. My favorite besides Earth Wind and Fire of all time... Love the Deftones.
i'm 17 and i've only found their music literally a week ago. lifes hard for me right now, and when I tell you this has already changed my life. crazy update: my dad is abusive and i've finally left him and have moved in with my boyfriend; we met over deftones
I'm also 17 and this shit has helped me alot since I found them a few weeks back. I hope you are alright and I hope things will get easier for whatever you are challenging. All the best ❤

The song is simply about watching a loved one (whether it be a romantic partner, friend, or family member) change negatively and how it's one of the most heartbreaking things you'll ever see in your life.
You described it well
Could be about yourself and you changing, that’s how I think of it…
Or being a 28 year old predator taking the wings off of a 17 year old, as in my experience.
Yes, I agree. This song reminds me of her.
yeah it’s about drugs
I watched you change
Into a fly
I looked away
You were on fire
I watched a change in you
It's like you never had wings
Now, you feel so alive
I've watched you change
I took you home
Set you on the glass
I pulled off your wings
Then I laughed
I watched a change in you
It's like you never had wings
Now, you feel so alive
I've watched you change
It's like you never had wings
Aah, aah, aah, aah
Aah, aah, aah, aah
Aah, aah
I look at the cross
Then I look away
Give you the gun
Blow me away
I watched a change in you
It's like you never had wings
Now, you feel so alive
I've watched you change
Now, you feel alive
You feel alive
You feel alive
I've watched you change
It's like you never had wings
Aah, aah, aah, aah
Aah, aah, aah, aah
Aah, aah
You've changed
You've changed
You've changed
it's "I", not "ahh"
HELL, YEAH!!!😁
@Hunter Vonnegut hey thanks will do
😭
I love how this song is interpreted differently to everyone. People think it’s seductive, sad, etc. I love this song so much
I think it's about abuse. His abuse of a loved one. And the sadness and guilt he feels upon watching the fruits of his labour.
Going off the video it makes think of that feeling when the sun's coming up and everyone is strung out. The drugs are wearing off and the hangover is kicking in. It's not a fun feeling.
It being seductive probably has something to do with Queen Of the Damned.
That's the magic of music for you 🎶 ♡
That’s the best kind of art, imo.
I’ve seen this video a dozen times. But today I feel as though I’m seeing it through fresh eyes. At first I thought they were playing amongst the party people, but looking closer, I can see that they are all apart from them.

Especially when they are turning into a fly

Exactly 😮😧

I agree. I think this song will forever be a turning point for metal. There is truly nothing like Deftones. They captured this sound.

My friend loved this song. Was the first person to show it to me. He passed last month from suicide. Ive been really listening to the lyrics the past couple weeks and can now see how deeply this song related to his life. “I watched you change, its like you never had wings” couldnt be more true. Slowly depression takes over a person until before you know it, theyre consumed. I wish I would have stayed in touch with this person. I hope theyre in a better place. 24 is way too young to die. I haven’t felt the same since their passing. RIP friend. Life is cruel.
😂
My deepest condolences.
My deepest condolences, death in general is never easy, let alone suicide. I send you my love and prayers, and wish you well. ❤
Sorry for your loss
I lost 2 of my closest friends from overdose and suicide. The pain will never leave you. When you need to cry, cry. Do things you two talked about doing. Take his memory with you wherever you go. It's part of you now. And when you feel the need. Talk to him. He's listening. Believe me, he's listening. Turn this into motivation! Look what I did! Look, that's my son/daughter! It's a sad thing. And it'll never leave. So, when you're thinking of him in sad time's. Think of gum in happy time's! Carry his memory, like a true friend would do. And don't worry, you WILL see him again. I know this as fact. You will see him again. Have peace in you. Only you can do it. Only you...
Have to confess, to be a teenager in the year White Pony came out is one of the best things i remember coming of age. AND the music video is like a swan song for its generation. A ferawell party to the old state of world, like, you had it, and now its time to leave it behind and things have to move further. Lyrics and melody just gives me that feeling of bittersweet impassive last moment with something that is gone and it ends with break away.
This vibe to me is heavily felt in the record and it came out on the wave of very special moment in gen x history : Matrix, Fight Club, Lost Highway, Eyes Wide Shut. The time of social dystopian exposition, edgy fashion, , internet, anime, electronic music, heroin chic, rebellion, occultism, consumerism complex, cynicism of wealth, escape from banal and emotional deplete. You really felt the change (bum tss) and this was first time i heard a heavy band sound exactly how i felt, like i was a part of something fresh, advanced, creative.
I feel it too
I wonder what the culture would’ve headed towards if not for 9/11 the next year and ME wars
Totally agree
Fkn word u nailed it
Amen
it seems to me like Deftones music goes against time. It is hard to explain, but they don't sound old or new to me
One might say they're "timeless".
I guess they never followed fads and trends
It's rare
It must be because they are so unique. I can't name a single band like them.

The key-change at 2:08 is sublime. It's the "change" the song is referring to...when everything changes including the key.
not really a key change. it's just the third chord of the scale, eb major, which is the relative major to c minor - the key the song's played in. that's why it gives u that uplifting feeling i suppose. def hits u hard and i love it too
@@blackswan1301 no it's not. a key change by definition is the change from one tonality to another, which is not what's happening here. the chord eb major is still in the same tonality of c minor

Its eye opening and honestly tugs at your heart when your lover of seven years tells you that this song reminds her of you...
When I first met my boyfriend in 2011 he said "for some reason this song reminds me of you, the line about the angel wings, but I don't mean it in a bad way" 12 almost 13 years later and everything we went through and I listen back to it now, he wasn't wrong when he said those words to me, he just didnt know it yet, but sadly, I already knew he wasn't wrong because I was secretly struggling with a tremendous heroin addiction that only got worse over the next two years living with him and his family and when it finally came to light, I already destroyed everything around us. But he still stuck with me, even with a few more years of addiction, lies, mistakes and struggles. Im finally doing good now, just celebrated 8 years in my program to stay clean and blessed to say he is still here sticking with me by my side to this day❤ and have also seen deftones in concert together 😊
Congrats. Addiction is hell. You're doing great.
Congratulations , stay strong
Pussy must have been more addicting than the heroine.
It's not easy but it gets easier as the years pass.
My wife stuck by me the same way and I'm eternally grateful.
Still making eighteen years later. Congrats on your sobriety
You mean absolutely everything to that man.
Rest in Peace Akira. Like Oda said, 'hopefully heaven will be a peaceful world just as you envisioned it'.

I remember riding the metro bus home from school one day back in the year 2000. I was 15 and we were living in a hotel at the time and there was a Kmart across the street. I got bored and walked over, looked through some CDs, and walked out with White Pony. When I got back I sat out on the balcony with my Discman and listened to the whole album start to finish. That day I became a Deftones fan for life, and now over 23 years later I still listen to White Pony from beginning to end sometimes just to get a little bit of that feeling from the first time I heard it!
Have listened to this for a long time and it's so complicated in our hearing and our brains😮 love them!
A middle school boyfriend introduced me to the deftones and I haven’t listened to them in years he passed away from a heroin overdose and this song just came on randomly and watching this video it hit different now that I’ve been there got 80 days clean from heroin after a 3 year battle. Never thought to much about the video and lyrics till now.
hope you’re ok!
@Hunter Vonnegut lol he is literally recounting an experience of his life and you comment on that?
We DO recover
As a 16 year old right now with no friends and one of the most quiet in my school they only thing that keeps me busy is deftones. Keeps me distracted from dark thoughts and makes me think there is a light out there but it's only accessible with change.
The only way you can truly change is to be born again. I hear music differntly now when i incorperate my religon and positivity. Change,all i need is you, ect. All i need is god,change my walk from the dark to the light.
Relatable 😔💪
Your 16... Your whole life is in front of you. Do the very best you can in school and focus on what you want to do after and take life by the horns and go do that shit
My wife has her own business for 6 years... Got into real estate last year and took a new job last week as project manager renovating the houses she'll get to sell... She grew up in the hood in Dallas. Only white girl in her school.. life's a bitch. Fuck it
I had a lot of dark thoughts when I was 16. Fortunately never acted on them. I’m 61 now and enjoying life. It gets better, just believe in yourself.
I listen to this track 10 times a day. The beauty and intensity shines through. It will never age. I do not find it depressing in the slightest. Just superb.
This song makes me melt. x
This song hits different when I realized that years after our breakup, she glowed so much and I essentially became a doomer and spiralled down in self-loathing. She's happy now, way happier.
Edit: 2yrs have passed, I'm not getting better.
And you
Hope you're doing better these days buddy
I was two years clean relapsed a week ago and I've been in the hospital for 3 days almost lost my hand it's funny how certain songs that made an impact on you when you heard them for the first time can hit you different at different points in your life things will get better my friend I promise

This, yesssss🙌🏽!!
I still have my original Adrenaline cd, it's special for sure.
Fucking same!!! good taste! This is the equivalent of tools eulogy

One of the most sensual songs ever written.
It's kind of crazy looking back. This song was an official hit. I can't even imagine a song like this playing on today's radio, let alone it being a hit. What happened???
Simple. Music sucks now
We had the closest thing to the grunge scene of the 90's where alternative music (not just numetal) got popular again. Give it 5 years and more alternative music will be on the radio again - it's a reaction to lame music.
+Luis Rivera (Buddy) This plays on the radio. That's how I found it. Get your head out of your smelly, nostalgia ridden ass.
+Prodigy Jones Gotta dig deep for that kind of station
Prodigy Jones Of course you heard this on the radio. Stations have to play old stuff like this because there aren't any new hits like this anymore. Bands like this and music like this used to be everyday. Now they are regulated to one specific station given a specific time slot. Where are the NEW hard music hits? Honestly, the last new hard music hit I remember was System's BYOB. These songs weren't niche songs back in the early 2000s, they were real hits that could be heard everywhere by everyone. Not just rockers dug this kind of music, everyone used to be into it. Outside of metalcore and industrial, I really don't hear any new hard bands anymore. It is very interesting to me how those heavier melodic sounds have disappeared from the mainstream.
Man, I ALWAYS come back to this song❤️
I experienced this song in my life... I met a girl years ago who was into the rave scene and hard drugs and dragged me into this house party lifestyle... I loved the lifestyle at the time but after a while of being on drugs and alcohol 24/7 I became burnt out and realized the hollow nature of it all..... I saw the fights, the cheating, the overall dysfunctional youth drowned in sex, drugs and mayhem but it ended horrible for alot of people I knew... Godbless deftones for showing the truth of partying in a song Evan tho they were on hard drugs at the time :/
