Therapist analyzes the lyrics of this song from the point of view of the fly, and encourages individuals who feel like they have been trapped in abusive relationships to remember that it is not their fault that they are trapped here. It’s a gradual shift, and if it weren’t it likely wouldn’t have happened.
Deftones has a track with Maynard James Keenan of Tool called Passenger. It’s about doing dirty things in cars. It’s very cool and fun and sexy and all that good stuff.
It’s not about drugs, it’s because of drugs, don’t try to understand the song, even Chino doesn’t know what he’s exactly singing about. It’s just moody.
Deftones were kind of one of those story telling bands that only gave you snippets of the story. Not exactly a concept album approach but much of it is laid across several tracks to give a feeling.
Fragile Dreams by Anathema is a good relationship song. More a 90s prog metal with folk vibe. My Dying Bride also did some interesting lyrics on Evinta. I like In Your Dark Pavilion but have no idea what its about. They’re a metal band that went operatic. Type O Negative is another you could look at - similar to Deftones he’s not the good guy and is selfaware of it.
