Mx Lyrics

You're so sweet
Your smile
Your magazine and
Your bones
You're on fire
You move me
Like music
With your style

Let me think
About girls
And money
And new clothes
Thirty nights of violence
And sugar to love

Come here, come here
Closer to the lung so
I can, I can
Shove her over railing

You're sweet, but I'm tired
Of proving this love
You're a bore
But you move me
Like a movie
That you are

Let me think
(Think about what?)
About girls
(And what else)
And money
And new clothes
(And what do it get?)
Thirty nights (uhh-huh) of violence (yeah)
And sugar to love

Come here, come here
Closer to the lung so
I can, I can
Shove her over railing

Mx

Lead singer Chino Moreno: "I didn't really like Mx that much, and I had completely different vocals than I had written in the practice place when we were writing it. When I was recording the vocals in the control room, and I started to say to myself, 'This is boring. Throw this song away or stop rolling the tape.' And I just wrote a whole new song over the actual music. New melodies, new whole idea. It was just something that I was feeling at the moment. And then Abe's wife (Annalynn) was there in the studio and I was thinking there are these parts that I'd really like a girl's voice on, so I asked her if she'd do it. She was like, 'I don't wanna do this' and I talked her into it. After it was all done I had a completely different song. Right then it became one of my favorite songs, 'cause it was something I completely changed around myself. It could have been just a normal, kind of boring song, but it ended up being one of my favorite songs in about an hour, with me just realizing that I can completely do whatever I want that completely changes it. So that was cool. I would just hit the old bottle of wine... I had a music stand with some of my lyrics on it, some candles burning, and instead of using a hand-held microphone like I usually use, I was using a really nice microphone. I just stood there and let loose. It was something I'd never done. I think that's how singers usually record, but on the first record I recorded everything live with the band in the room, with a little Shure 58 microphone. I'd never done it that way and it was a lot different. It was fun. It felt a little bit more personal for some reason, 'cause I was in there by myself, with my headphones on, and most of the record was recorded in the dark, and a majority of the record was recorded when I was drunk. So it felt pretty good. I thought it was pretty cool."

Drummer Abe Cunningham's wife Annalynn is the female voice.

This was first called "Max" because the riff was similar to something that Soulfly singer Max Cavalera would make.

Rickets Lyrics

It's so simple to look at every little thing I do wrong.
It's so simple to overlook every little thing I do right, right?

I think too much.
I feed too much.
I'm gone too much.
I skate too much.

I snore too much.
I'm blowin' too much.
I ate too much.
I'm way too much too stuck up.

You're probably right...
... this time, but I don't want to listen.
You're probably right...
... this time, but I don't even care.

I dream too much.
I think too much.
I step too much.
Those things too much.
I am too much.
I'm pissed too much.
I need too much.
I'm not one to trust.

You're probably right...
... this time, but I don't want to listen.
You're probably right...
... this time, but I don't even care.
And if it was mine to say...
... I wouldn't say it.
And if it was mine to say...
... I wouldn't speak.

I'm blowin' too much.
I think too much.
I eat too much.
My face too much.

I feed too much.
I piss too much.
I sleep too much.
I snap too often.

You're probably right...
... this time, but I don't want to listen.
You're probably right...
... this time, but I don't even care.

And if it was mine to say...
... I wouldn't say it.
And if it was mine to say...
... I wouldn't speak.

Headup Lyrics

Got back out back off the forefront
I never said or got to say bye to my boy
But it's often I try I think about how I'd be screaming
And the times would be bumping

All our minds would be flowing
Taking care of shit like hey 'holmes'
What you needing sometimes life will be coming off whack
And will open your eyes

As I proceed to get loose
I feel you next to me fiending
Getting spacey with the common
Love of music think of this as the

Sun and the mind as a tool but we
Could bounce back from this one
With attitude will and some spirit
With attitude will and your spirit
We'll shove it aside

Soulfly
Fly high
So fly
Fly free

Shut your shit please say what you will
I can't think side step around
I'm bound to the freestyle
Push It down to the ground

With a nova dash
But they watch you
Now climb up superslide
Our spirit so low it's coming over you

Soulfly
Fly High
So fly
Fly free

You walk into this world

Walk into this world with your head up high

Headup

Headup

This is a tribute to Dana Wells, the stepson of Max Cavalera (formerly of Sepultura), who was killed by a hit and run driver. Dana was a friend of Deftones lead singer Chino Moreno. Parts of Dana's diary was used in the lyrics: "Walk into this world with your head up high!"

Max Cavalera helped write this, and named his band "Soulfly" after a line in this song.

Cavalera: "The song we did together was very special. They'd lost a friend too. When me and Chino recorded the vocals we were both on the floor and emotions were going everywhere. It was almost as if we had Dana in the studio sitting between the two of us. We were raging so hard, and I remember looking up and seeing Chino had smashed his nose and there was blood all over his face. He had this expression on his face which said, 'How much more energy can you put into a song!' It was unbelievable! When I put that song on I get goosebumps."

Be Quiet And Drive (Far Away) Lyrics

This town don't feel mine
I'm fast to get away
Far

I dressed you in her clothes
Now drive me far away, away, away

It feels good to know you're mine
Now drive me far away, away, away
Far away
I don't care where
Just far away
I don't care where
Just far away
I don't care where
Just far away
And I don't care

Far away
And I don't care where
Just far away
And I don't care where
Just far away
And I don't care where
Just far away

Be Quiet And Drive (Far Away)

This is about wanting to leave the town you are stuck in. You just want to leave and get away from everything being the same day after day. When you finally find someone to drive you (or you drive them), you just want them to be quiet in order to enjoy the moment of leaving. You can also interpret it as wanting to leave as a result of doing something bad, such as getting a girl pregnant or using drugs. You just want to get away from your problems, but it has to be quiet so you can think about what's going on in your life. (thanks, Tim - Pittsburgh, PA)
