Xerces Lyrics - Deftones

"Goodbye. Safe heaven. New, new world."
this would tie into mormon religion where they believe that if they accend to the highest spiritual level that they become prepared to meet jesus in outerspace (he has a spaceship apparently) and eventually they become gods of their own solar systems.

"Goodbye, safe heaven. Nuke the world"
same idea only implies that he is capable of astral travel in a new celestial form like before, only in this case is more benevolent and just wants to wave goodbye to planet earth once and for all while it self destructs.

everyone just shut the fuck up and listen to the song. WTF does it matter what is realy said. ITS A GOOD SONG!!! thats all that matters. next chick/dude that posts under me is a fucking fag ok. the end.

all you people who think you "get it" you "understand" you "feel the same", you are acting like you are his bum buddy when none of you know him... you are internet peoples sitting behind your keyboards mostly lying through the skin of your teeth to try and get some attention from other internet folks, but you don't realise everyone can see you are just making stuff up to try and look "big and cool" and in fact you look like a bunch of willies!

I have listened to this song millions of times (not literally) but i personally believe maybe it's his last day on earth and choosing if he wants to stay or leave. or possibly maybe as well maybe leaving the earth as it is a piece of shit and disgusting, he wants to go to a Safe New place just like Heaven.

I think the lyrics might be "Goodbye, safe, haven, move, move on." That could just be because that's psychologically the way I want to hear it, but it sounds possible. Who knows, and it hardly matters - Chino could sing about peanut butter and his voice would rape my soul anyway.

In the CD booklet it just says
'goodbye, safe, heaven, new
I'll be waving'
etc.
The fact that Chino has not even published the lyrics suggests that he doesn't have any 'fixed lyrics' for that particular part, or maybe that he just doesn't want us to know what he is saying. There is a lot of this sort of things with deftones, for example if we look at the standard-issue 'White Pony' printed lyrics, in many places Chino is obviously singing words other than those in the CD booklet, and on various live recordings he sings different lyrics also. Maybe he has various different sets of lyrics that he sings depending on how he feels. Who knows?
Anyhow, for my two pence worth, I would say that 'New, new world' is probably the closest, but then again whenever I listen to the song it feels like he has made a portomento of 'new' and 'universe' - 'Goodbye safe heave, newniverse, I'll be waving', or he could just be saying 'new, new verse'. Weird.

I've been listening to the Deftones for a while and since i can remember, what Chino writes has been unintelligible.
Whether it's what he wrote or not, it doesn't make a difference. It's an excellent song.
He's written a million different things, whether he says it or not is a completely different story.
Everybody has their own idea of what they think he's saying and chances are, all of them are wrong in one way or another.
So everybody quit their posturing and kiddy little arguments.
You're ALL right children. Fight nice.

there is just one thing incorrect
it should be - >
"Goodbye safe heaven. Look - new world.
I'll be Waving,
Goodbye safe heaven. Look - new world.
I'll be Waving goodbye."
this is how it goes.
the problem might be the fact that the vocal sings that in specific way thats why its so hard to get wher ends and where begins single sentence. :D

Wow.
U oviously do not understand his life, nor the reaons for the song. please before you comment anything to anyone else do yourself a favor and UNDERSTAND whats going on in the song so that u dont look stupid like the stupid comment u posted above.
Kthanks.

For real I just looked at 10 different sites every set is different.some say :safe heaven no no ooo or some shit I mean even if he says it that way he would'nt freakin write it down that way.And SHANK HEAVEN? What the hell is that garbage. This shit should be illeagal everybody is misleading everybody on the internet these days this shit makes me sick. I,m surrounded by bullshiters and they all think they are guessing right too.
