Deftones - Xerces Lyrics






Universe surrounds,
When you're ready
It waits for us to leave this earth
Come on,
They're calling the name out

I don't know I could stay or leave
Either way
Cause the comet can take us all the way through

Goodbye
Safe, heaven, new
I'll be waving, goodbye

Return to see everything looks the same
I don't know if the change made was grave
Cause the craving remains the same

Goodbye
Safe, heaven, new
I'll be waving, goodbye

I'll be waving,

Goodbye...

Deftones Xerces Comments
  1. N.... D....

    That fuckin' beginning.....

  2. �.... ....

    There seems to be a rumor that this song is about the Heaven’s Gate cult. Seems true, the more I look into it tbh.

  3. T.... ....

    Got me through a serious existential crisis

  4. S.... K....

    This would have been the perfect end credit music to passengers. And a awesome montage music video with the gorgeous Jennifer Lawrence

  5. l.... ....

    Who's not here because they're sad or whatever? Who's here because they listen to good music on the DAILY!?

    l.... ....

    lov311ife Who cares whether we are here cause we are sad or happy. At least we’re here. Deftones are amazing.

  6. L.... V....

    2019 i love this song

  7. M.... J....

    Ill be waving
    Ill be waving
    Ill be waving

    Good
    Bye

  8. M.... J....

    Saturday night wrists was a better album than I realized when I came out. Thank you guys for 10 studio albums ad progressing perfection. It just keeps getting better.

  9. R.... C....

    Universe surrounds
    When you're ready
    It waits
    For us to
    To leave this earth
    Come on, they're calling your name
    Out
    I don't know
    I could stay or leave
    Right away
    Cause the comet can take us
    All the way through
    Goodbye
    Say Heaven
    Know no one
    I'll be waving
    Goodbye
    Say Heaven
    Know no one
    I'll be waving
    Goodbye
    Reason to see
    Everything looks the same
    I don't know
    If the change made was great
    Cause the craving remains the same
    Goodbye
    Say Heaven
    Know no one
    I'll be waving
    Goodbye
    Say Heaven
    Know no one
    I'll be waving
    Goodbye

    only real fans remember the og deftones official site that let you stream all of their music adrenaline was always on repeat

  11. T.... ....

    I think of this song when finis far cry 4

  12. A.... T....

    This song has helped me deal with breaking up with my girlfriend who cheated on me. God bless Deftones, one of my favorite bands.

  13. h.... o....

    Desde el 2006 no la e dejado de escuchar..Mis viernes no son los mismos sin esa cancion y sin ese album

  14. h.... o....

    GooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooodBaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay

  15. a.... ....

    Ethereal

  16. n.... s....

    Pure depression..

  17. T.... -....

    the chorus reminds me of the pixies song in fight club

  18. C.... A....

    Sad walking the snow. Taxes

  19. M.... 0....

    Yeah in the first line I think it’s someone coming to terms and believing there is an afterlife (“Universe surrounds when your ready it waits for us to leave this Earth”) the next part states “Its calling your name out” suggesting that the narrator is reassuring them it’s their time to go, the “I don’t know I could stay or leave part” to me is about the realisation of the insignificance of their life and how they have no control over it, not sure on “The comet can take us all the way through” part but I’m guessing it’s the way they're getting to the afterlife, the “Goodbye say Heaven part” is the harsh reality that they will soon be dying but are trying to have an optimistic outlook on it by realising they might go to the afterlife or if there is no existence they are simply just waving goodbye (that’s my time up and there’s nothing more we can do), “Return to see everything looks the same” could be how the person has a shift from optimism and becomes pessimistic again (everything looks the same) their mind hasn’t changed after all and the same pessimistic outlook of death is still apparent, the song bounces between and argues the two points of optimistic and pessimistic outlooks on death, “I don’t know if the change made was great coz the craving remains the same” this could be how the narrator (chino) is at peace with not knowing his fate in and after death but then realises the craving of finding out more about his curiosities of death and the afterlife are too strong to ignore and therefore these important subjects are always on his mind hence why the song is slightly depressing as he doesn’t know for sure what’s going to happen, he then ultimately starts talking about heaven and waving goodbye again as he begins to go in the loop again of not caring what happens to him (he starts believing again that he is either going to have a good afterlife or he’s not going to know anything) so he stops worrying for the time being but it’s inevitable that the cycle will continue to bother him. Just remember this is a personal theory hope I’m somewhat correct 😂

  20. J.... S....

  23. M.... N....

  24. A.... D....

    Ja that’s my jam🌑🌑🌑

  25. J.... B....

    That song that you pull up on your Bluetooth speaker when it's time to give your job the middle finger in one hand and holding up dueces in the other.

  26. E.... C....

    This song would fit perfectly during the end credits of Interstellar.

    E.... C....

    the end of it all

  27. P.... P....

    0:00 claramente desolated, nao me enganam caralho

  28. D.... P....

    Nostalgic

  29. J.... A....

    I like how It's just a sad topic

  30. j.... h....

  46. A.... O....

    Really ahead of their time this sound is the future of music

  47. A.... O....

    Absolut numb

  48. F.... F....

    Their music fits my soul. even if it hurts in a way listening to it alone, coz i guess sharing the euphoria of their vibes would open up to another dimension of extase

  49. S.... T....

    To anyone wondering what this song is about, it's about the Xerces Blue. A butterfly we drove to extinction by building on its natural habitat in California.

    S.... T....

    Slice Typhoon it’s actually about a cult

  50. M.... C....

    This album has got better with age. I remember it getting slated quite badly on its release. It's actually a very fucking good album.

    M.... C....

    I fully agree \m/

    M.... C....

    Mark Cort yup bro

    M.... C....

    Mimi’s song

  53. M.... M....

    one day im gonna suicide listening to this <3

  54. J.... ....

    All those days listening to this song in my dorm when this album came out. Good vibes.

  55. T.... C....

    To those thinking this is about space.. its about death and your energy moving to other worlds/universe's

  56. M.... P....

    A bad Deftones song is a unicorn.

  57. J.... S....

    You're favorite band, we went to so many Deftones concerts together, and some of them got kicked out of lol! Miss you so much big bro, you're finally at peace. My eternal love for you

  58. D.... R....

    Temazo!!!!!!!

  59. K.... ....

    What a pity that they didn't do a videoclip to it.

    Actually, it is the perfect soundtrack for the end of the world.

  60. l.... S....

  68. A.... ....

    Can anyone else hear the resemblance between this song and another song done by Radiohead? For the life of me I can't find the Radiohead song but the opening melody that is the riff through the song sounds very familiar to another. I'm not making a point about who did it first or who stole what I'm just trying to find the song if anyone knows what I'm saying thanks.

  69. G.... P....

    I am going to name my baby boy Xerxes.

  70. T.... D....

    Pim xec

  71. �.... �....

    оху*нная песня ставим лайки кто в теме

  72. T.... ....

    I'm obsessed with the part where he says "Goodbye". Such a sad part.

  73. a.... ....

    I met this beautiful girl, she managed to steal my heart and then dumped me right away, and now i'm here

  74. S.... k....

    The chord progression in the chorus 💦💦

  75. T.... G....

    GOOD BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

  76. r.... ....

    It depresses me that deftones haven't had a solid album since Saturday night wrist. Guess I'll listen to palms more.

    r.... ....

    they lost the magic when they lost Chi. Sergio is a fucking clown.

    r.... ....

    Dude koi noy yokan is a treasure. You Cray Cray

  80. B.... Z....

    I miss you so much. You'll never see this. But I thought you were the one. Goodbye J.B

  81. A.... ....

    this whole album was slept on in 06. regardless it is a masterpiece , wonder why chino never plays some of the stuff off snw.

  82. S.... R....

    I sing this to my turd before I flush it down

  83. M.... S....

    I think this song is about death and it´s similarity to the universe in terms of infinity and perpetuity.

  84. A.... C....

    😢😢😞😟😭💔

  85. A.... L....

    feelin lonely

  86. G.... ....

    I'm still upset that my friend passed away years ago.

  87. V.... V....

    The God king likes this song

  88. R.... I....

    God that Chino had some troubles with hitting the right notes, his end vocals are a bit awful.

    R.... I....

    Rodrigo Manuel Ibarra Juarez that’s actually why theyre called deftones as in “deaf tones”

    R.... I....

    Negative

  89. N.... ....

    This is pure beauty. x_x

  90. T.... S....

    Just a really great song... Hits home..

  91. A.... A....

    You know... this song aged so well... maybe we were not ready for SNW in 2006. I loved it, but it feels so much
    better nowadays...

    A.... A....

    I think the music was jut a bit ahead of its time.

    A.... A....

    Some albums have deep cuts. This albums is all deep cuts. Highly underrated.

    A.... A....

    Couldnt have said it better myself

  92. R.... P....

    masterpiece. that is all.

  93. b.... ....
