Title: 7 Words

Album: Adrenaline

Music Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4tHyjuD9VVI

Fun Facts:

* If you watch the 7 Words video, at around :25 you'll see Chino walking through a doorway, and if you pause at the right moment, you will see the backside picture of the Adrenaline album, without inverted colors. thanks: StonmeDia@aol.com

* Sometimes when the Deftones play "7 words", instead of playing the song's recorded breakdown, they busted into a cover of Weezer's "Say it Aint So." For all of you that don't know (I'm sure most of you do) chino is a HUGE Weezer fan, and once jokingly said that he would leave the deftones if Rrivers asked him. (thanks to: Jamie Nickerson)

* Chino stated to the MTV latino that the place where they shot "7words" video - Cattle Club - was burned sometime ago, and his biggest wish was to make a concert there to help the owner of that place.. (thanks to Mauricio Ahumada)

* At the end of the 7 words demo you can hear other song, it's from a Mexican singer called Vicente Fernandez and the song name is "caminos de michoacan" the genre is known in Mexico as ranchero (kinda mariachi). (thanks to Daniel)

* On the song "7 Words", Chino built a cave out of Styrofoam around the mic while they were tracking the chorus while his screaming SUCK! Making it as distorted as he could without using actual effects, also making it hard to decipher what Chino is really saying. (thanks to Rikky)

* Here's the truth about "7 Words":
Chino: "I wrote it back when I was 16 years old. It's probably one of the angriest songs I've ever written. It was about being oppressed by people around me, the authorities, I felt like the whole world was against me. It was like I was lashing out at those people."

* This isn't a secret at all, it's more like a conclusion that I have right now, after listening lots of bootlegs. The truth is that almost every time the Deftones play "7Words" live, Chino say "...that's been stomped away from every FUCKIN' dream...". Also when they are playing this song live Chino usually says after the second chorus "Speak fast you don't know me..." followed by "Shut up you don't know me" but obviously the regular recorded version he says "Shut up you don't know me " twice. (thanks to George)
You can check that if you have Deftones' bootlegs or when you have the opportunity to see them live.

* You probably just saw somewhere in this website that Chino invited Fred Durst from Limp Bizkit to trade lines with him during the Ermal Festival in Portugal (23/08/00). They were like this:
Chino: You speak fast you don't know me!
Fred: Speak fast you don't fuckin' know me either!
Chino: Shut the fuck up cuz you don't know me!
Fred: And shut the fuck up cuz you don't know me!
Chino: And squeal like a pig when you...

* That 'Suck!' on '7Words' was meant to be 'Fuck' first. Chino used to sang 'Fuck' on the beginning and he did that on the record too, but they fixed that to 'Suck'. He also confirmed me that he used to sang 'Fuck' sometimes in live performances.

7 Words (You Have The Right To Remain Silent)

This was the first Deftones video shot, for their first single, 7 Words. It features footage of the Deftones performing at the legendary Cattle Club, and hanging around Sacramento. My friend was at the filming of the video, it was a regular show, except they played 7 Words about 6 times and told everyone to go crazy. If you look close you can see Stef wearing a Cattle Club T-Shirt, a Heckler magazine (local zine) sticker, and a quick shot of DJ Frank.

I find it interesting that they play it on every show yet Chino said recently that he doesn't like it, but it's his son's favourite. Can't find the interview now.

I went through a period where I was sick of them finishing every show with it, and still maybe think they could switch up the order sometimes, but it's such a cool song that I don't mind it being a permanent setlist fixture.

Haha same here:D
I was once with my sister and her long therm boyfriend on a Deftones concert which was near where they live, they both know about the band, but aren't much familiar with their music.
They enjoyed the concert and the songs, although they usually don't like such "hard" music Haha^^
As they played SWORDS, especially by the chorus, my sister got a big smile on her face and said: "Okay... at least everybody can sing along:))))"

Btw thanks for the informations therealdaebat!

[sooniletugo]

Yeah its a really good singalong song for the live show, and it's not too cheesy or anything. My sister knows it too because of the chorus. It's just a badass song.

The chorus lyrics are
"Suck - they fuck with my head
Suck - suck it you pig"

...Right? And "squeal like a pig when you big fuckin big fuckin ahhh" I saw some people say it's "pig fuckin pig fuckin ape", but I don't know about that?

Correct Lyrics:

I'll never be the same, breaking decency
Don't be tree trunk, don't fall on my living roots
I've been humming too many words, got a weak self-esteem
That's been stomped away from every single dream
But it's something else that brought us feaze
Keep it all inside 'til we feel we can't unleash
I think that you made it up, I think that your mind is gone
I think you shouldn't have glorified, now you're wrong!

SUCK! SUCK! SUCK! SUCK! SUCK!
SUCK! SUCK! SUCK! SUCK! SUCK! SUCK!
They fuck with my head!
SUCK! SUCK! SUCK! SUCK! SUCK!
SUCK! SUCK! SUCK! SUCK! SUCK! SUCK IT!
Pig!

You and me are here alone
Face flat along the edge of the glass
But I'm not here to preach, I'm just sick of thugs
My parents made me strong to look up that glass
So why should I try, act like I'm a little pissed off
With all that shit that needs to stay back on the shelf
Your punk-ass made it up, your fucking mind was gone
Should've never glorified, now you're right!

SUCK! SUCK! SUCK! SUCK! SUCK! SUCK!
SUCK! SUCK! SUCK! SUCK! SUCK! SUCK!
They fuck with my head!
SUCK! SUCK! SUCK! SUCK! SUCK!
SUCK! SUCK! SUCK! SUCK! SUCK!
Pig!

Shut up, you don't know me
Shut up, you don't know me
Squeal like a pig when you big fuckin', big fuckin', ape!
Well, I'll tell you about my smoke stack
What's coming back jack? We'll dirtbag
Curse, following their words
Tell them that you fucking heard
I mean, they know that's what's coming, nigga and you're a quitter
I'm thinking 'bout something naughty and won't tell anybody
So, thinking of me by now, but you go grab it
I'd like to think, for who I down this shit
I belong where they be, 'cause we can not get back those lives

We exist to please, understand
That God hates black shades and all the players
Mr. P.I.G., could I fuckin' see?
You're already done, crushed all of my brothers' dignity
And to the jury can't be no turns, on my skin that's colored
Does that mean I'm burnt?
'Cause your punk-ass made it up
Your fuckin' mind was gone
Should've never glorified
Wrong!

SUCK! SUCK! SUCK! SUCK! SUCK! SUCK!
SUCK! SUCK! SUCK! SUCK! SUCK! SUCK!
They fuck with my head!
SUCK! SUCK! SUCK! SUCK! SUCK!
SUCK! SUCK! SUCK! SUCK! SUCK!
You bad, boy...

I thought it was "Suck - your fucking money!"
And I remember I saw the lyrics on a reliable source (deftonesworld or some good page)
