"Plain Boring"

Oh come on Mothraw! - you've let me down 

I couldn't just leave the story like that, here's how it really ends:


The Hottest Girl in the World Pt 4

Years later it began to dawn on me, our love was gone, all spent
Our marriage - an anniversary of an uninteresting event
Vince was now a teenager, old enough to drive
But the way he had turned out made me wish he wasn't alive

You see Vince had joined Beauty School he said it was what he must do
Rats!Rats!Rats!, how could it come to this, I wished he would dai (the flu)
Now it all made sense to me, his birthmark shaped like a cock
It made so dam angry , I just wanted to throw rocks

One day when that royal prick came home, I got so fucking pissed
Say it aint so he screamed as his face met with my fist
He cried so many tears his mascara began to streak
That's what you get, I said to him, for being a fucking freak

Oh why did I throw my life away, is this how it had to unfurl
that's what you get when you let your dick get sucked by the hottest girl in the world

And now I think of ways to Change my life from this course
Why did I have to go on a bender and hit a fucking horse?!

So you're homophobic?

[pinkmaggit]

Not at all - it's from a macho type unknown character's perspective who is.
If it offends anyone, well then it's your fault for taking a crappy poem seriously. 
I also have never run over a horse.

hey pinkmaggit

sorry for letting you down!
i really enjoyed reading your stuff and laughed a lot cuz that shit was the funny hell.

when i wrote verse 1 i just wanted to tell that for me deftones never get  boring.
for me being a deftones fan is like being in a relationship with a girl.
over years every relationship has its ups and downs and there always comes the point when you think that this bitch really needs to shut the fuck up and calm down and to be nice like that day you met her and when you where falling in love.
well that is what i think.

you love the girl the girl loves you you bore the girl she bores you too.

the most of us are in a relationship with deftones for almost 15 years and in every relationship the lust and magic is gone for times.
but there are always the times when you see this magic coming back and you fall in love again.

the whole industry changed over the years and the internet took most of the mystique away.

so sorry again for me not ending the story

I appreciate the sentiments of the OP. It's uncomfortable to admit that a band so near and dear to our hearts could regress over time. However, I'd have to wholly disagree with the view that the band and their most recent material has waned emotionally and spiritually. There's been a noticeable progression concerning the band's sound as the years have passed. What once was purely aggressive and hostile has now evolved into something still relentlessly cathartic, but also introspective and curious.

Really, that's the beauty of Deftones. Music enthusiasts cannot pin them down because with each and every fresh release, another layer of the band's sound is exposed, confirming the notion that none of us can predict where Deftones will head next - we can only opt to tag along with open ears. For me, that's enough to pledge loyalty and give my utmost support.

Yesterday I read this thread and it had me thinking.
Maybe it also depends on where you started with Deftones.
For the very first time I listened to them when I was 14, so practically I grew up with them. And I just know for 110 % there will be never another band like them. They are my big love in regards of music.
I love their unique style and as mentioned before, you can't simply put them into categories. I even don't know what they are playing or what Chino is singing about but I just don't care.
Of course they changed, who hasn't?
And getting older and having a steady life you get your routine. Be it with waking up every day at the same time or drinking the same - you got me. It's normal and of course it's fucking boring. Sometimes I feel like I'm a part of Groundhog Day. So you have to try to break free from time to time.
And seriously, last year was the best Deftones concert I've ever been to (ok just the third one but who cares). But when I saw them this year on a festival they just played fucking routine and I still liked it but knew they could do much better.
After 11 years I still get lost into their tunes and I hate some of their songs with a freaking passion (I really detest Deftones because it sounds so disfunctional).
I just know that fucking everything gets boring within time - relationships, jobs, food - it's on you to change and not just live with boredom.
If Deftones seem boring to you, that's maybe the normal way it is - you just go on and maybe find another band which suits you better. It's a natural process, I think.
so, yeah - basically what I'm saying is that Deftones is simply great and I love them with all their mistakes and wonders...
