For you whats the meaning of Hexagram lyrics?

[DEFinatelydeftones,fsho]

I think that good lyrics talks about interesting stories or something that you can relate to... but great lyrics are the ones that lets you create your own story and that's the case with Chino's lyrics and that's one more reason to love Deftones' art. IHMO.

Yeah, the selftitled album is one of their best "work of art" IMHO. I think like that because a few years ago i was obsessed with that album and i tried to analyze it as some sort of painting or something like that... and the album has a very aggressive and dark message if you analyze it... for instance.

If look at the cover art it has skull and roses... and then you see the track list: battle-axe, deathblow, bloody cape, needles and pins, minerva. if i wouldnt know Deftones i would think that its a death metal band with songs that talk about war and death.

On top of that i also found out that Minerva was the etruscan/roman goddess of war (among other talents) and that the working title for Minerva was "The late great planet earth" which is a 70's movie/novel about the apocalypse and the end of the world.... there is a movie trailer somewhere o the internet.

I didnt look at the lyrics too much at that time but im doing it now and from what i can see there were a lot of bad things going on while they were making this record and i think that they put all that anger and dark feelings on their music.

Ps. @976-EVIL: thanks ^_^

Nice, i do believe still that Hexagram was written in some sort of meaning from Chino whether it's him writing for meaning and interpretation or a meaning straight up to him that seems to be up for our own little thinking. Def a dark time and record tho...

On a side note, Am I the only person who thinks the song Change is Literally about the fall of Lucifer/Satan from Heaven ?  Really look at the lyrics and tell me if it is possible.


I've watched you change
Into a fly   (Satan is called Lord of the Flies)
I looked away
You were on fire   ( In Hell)
I watched a change
In you
It's like you never
Had wings    (Wings referring to when He was an Angel)
Now you feel
So Alive
I've watched you change    (From an angel to Satan)
I took you home    (Heaven)
Set you on the glass    (Sea of 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       ( Cross of Christ)
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

It's actually about drugs.

This is what's great about his lyrics. They are open to multiple interpretations.
