Deftones - Mx Lyrics and Youtube Music VideosAlbum:
Around The Fur Released:
1997 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

LyricFindMx 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.
