"Lotion" is like one of my all time favorite Deftones songs, I mean all their songs effing rock, but this one of my true favs.  I love listening to Chino's lyrics and trying to interpret the meaning Chino has behind them, some very deep, some not so deep.  Chino is brilliant, and always keeps me guessing.  But I have tried to make sense out of what he is trying to say in this song, and I just can't get it, even though its like my fav Deftones song!  I'm leaning towards, its a person that thinks, he or she is like the shit and better than everyone else, but is really just an asshole, and like the person is so fake, it makes him just sick? like his stomach churn? I hate fake people, hence me user name..lol!   I don't know, lol anyone else have any better interpretations?  Maybe a style of music he thinks certain sucky musicians ruined? not sure:)   

Thanks:)
"LYRICS" TO LOTION by the Deftones:)

I meant to come back to put out bliss
But the style is crumbling, covered canned
It was sick and no you don't even know how it comes
Shifts then gets ruined by you fucking slobs

But it's classical anyways

I can't help it makes me so sick over and over
It sits stiff bound with no heart
Fine cause this is where the separation starts arising
I can see it coming over your cloud

It's classical anyways
How cool are you?
I remember...
I feel sick (4x)

Just a bad call, it's so funny how you think
It's classical anyways
How cool are you?
I remember...
I feel sick (4x)
I'm so serious but that's not it
The thing is I don't give enough to actually give a fuck
You're plain boring and you bore me asleep

And I feel sickened
And who the fuck are you anyway you suck
It's making sick sense
Seeing how you're sticking out hardly and hoping money
Please arise up off the fucking knees
And hop off the train for a second
And try to find your own fucking heart

It's classical anyways
How cool are you?
I remember
I feel sick (4x)
Feel sick God (8x)
I feel sick right here (7x)
I feel sick!

I always thought it was all about bands who straight off ripped off their style (hop off the train, try to find your own fucking heart)
and there were many bands who did, an entire genre of nu-metal was born. "you're plain boring and you bore me asleep"  no shit :)

Yea i agree with from_musings thats what i always thought too and i love that song even more for it.

It's classical anyways-how cool are you now-i remember-and i feel sick

Makes me think he's saying

Its always been like this, there's always imitators, ripoff artists. Then now, oh look how cool everyone thinks you are, please i remember doing what you are doing now years ago, it makes me feel sick. be original.

Ok, I'm sorry, I did not know.  I bow down to the old skool deftones fans who know everything.  I guess I am a new deftones fan, since I have only been into them for like 2 years now and I can't get enough.  That is how bands get their fan base isn't it? It doesn't matter "when" in their career a person becomes a fan of a band, the important thing is that they are a "fan."  I don't think Chino would like deftones fans being rude to other new deftones fans.  Neither would Chi.  So excuse me for asking :( and I am not some stupid kid, I am a 36 year old educated woman thank you very much.

it's hard to stand out as a band when they all try to sound the same and yet those bands want to make money. but everything is as usual, someone comes up with something new and brilliant, and bam, everyone is there to steal the idea and milk something out of it. that's probably why he feels sick

Wow! Let me let you in on an internal joke. Many years ago there was a guy on this board named Judd who was sure that chino screamed "Feel sick JUUUUUUUUUDD" in this song, so you see Tarkil wasn't trying to be an ass, he's just hella funny.  Congratulations on your education.

peoplerfake, I'm in your boat - I am an old ass 33 year old who just discovered Deftones too!! 

And, what makes me better than some of the meanies on this board is that, not only have I created life (3x - go me), I have converted said life forms into Deftones fans - my 9 year old asked me to download "that one song where he kinda sings, but then he screams too"  to his Ipod.  So, yes, even though we are a bit late to jump on the boat, we are still fans nonetheless. 

And no meanies bashing me, I am totally joking about my superiority - trying to make you hard, uptight asses crack a smile.

On a side note, peoplerfake, there is another forum type thingy (although it doesn't seem to be recently updated, it still has lots of good info) http://www.deftonesworld.com/deftones.htm


from_musings

you're not a better person automatically just because you squeeze out babies here and there like a laying hen.what if all three of these people you gave birth to becomes real douches and actually make the world a more unbearable place? then i would say you're even worse, creating an army of assholes.I'm not saying it is like this in your case, just saying that the argument does not hold water  ;)

MommaBear

Musings, laying hens don't get epidurals - poor bitches.  And my childbearing superiority was all in fun.  Your concern is my biggest fear as a mother.  No matter how hard I try to raise my children to be competent, functioning, decent adults, there is always the factor of the unknown.  There is no promise - no magical formula - to guarantee success.  I do my best and hope that it'll be good enough.  Raising kids is scary shit.

from_musings

I always check the package when I buy eggs, making sure the hens haven't been caged but got to move freely. but they can of course still feel pain when they pop out eggs :(  haven't really thought about it. will I ever buy an egg again  :-\

fuck its like this aint even a deftones board anymore, just seems the 'originals' talk wotever they want about any old shit as long as they feel superior and infertile.

Its actually just sad unless ur deftones undercover in which case its fuckin hilarious.

Anyway my missus has produced my three beautiful kids and i have nothing but respect for her especially with unfortunately no pain relief so less of the dumbassedness about moms.

U guys must have fuckin huge dicks or sumthin cuz ur cockiness is insane.

To the new fans - just ignore the rat bastards on here who supposedly like deftones, its always been this way here just with less decent people here each yr.  It used to be well busy but now just the same old boring fuckers being sarcastic all day and pretty much stopping anybody looking for a fellow deftones fan or general info on the band in their tracks before they even get a second post.
