Sextape
Deftones Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Floating on the water ever changing picture
Hours out from land
In tune with all our dreams

The ocean takes me in to watch you shake it
Watch you wave your powers
Tempt with hours of pleasure
Take me one more time
Take me one more wave
Take me for one last ride
I'm out of my head

Tonight, tonight
Tonight, tonight
The sound of the waves collide
The sound of the waves collide
The sound of the waves collide
Tonight we ride

Cruising through the city after hours
With me fusing all our powers
Here's to all our dreams
Take me one more time
Take me one more wave
Take me for one last ride
I'm out of my head

Tonight, tonight
Tonight, tonight
The sound of the waves collide
The sound of the waves collide
The sound of the waves collide
Tonight we ride

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Deftones’ song Sextape can be interpreted in two different ways, depending on how the audience perceives them, but at the core of both interpretations is the idea of losing oneself in a moment of pure bliss. The first interpretation refers to a couple floating on the water, away from civilization, with nothing but their dreams to keep them company. They are in tune with each other, and they have given up everything else to be there with each other. The ocean’s tranquility has a mesmerizing effect on them, and the singer feels the need to surrender to these moments of pleasure, as if they were his last. He’s “out of his head,” in a state of bliss, experiencing something beyond this world.


The second interpretation of the lyrics refers to cruising through a city, late at night, the world asleep, while everything is lit up and seamlessly comes together. The couple enjoys the freedom of being alone, away from the rest of society. They’re fusing their powers, merging their energies, enjoying each other without a care in the world. They’re taking risks, and this feeling of liberation and excitement is invigorating, making them feel “out of their heads.”


Overall, Sextape is a song that speaks about the beauty of being one with another person in moments of pure enjoyment and pleasure, without the weight of the world on your shoulders.

Holy fucking universe, guys. I have to say this. I have to.

Warning: this will be a bit Explicit.

I am a life-long musician. I am male. I was addicted to many drugs for many years and certain ones went well with relations with girls. Sort of like extra factors to add to already existing relationships.
But don't mistake me - I was never promiscuous because I always always always involved myself body and soul with whoever she happened to be at the time.

My experiences were such that as a musician, for a time, I wrote ONLY about these emotionally charged events that involved said factors. In my memories of them, my mind created literal movies out of them, with cinematography and music... EXACTLY LIKE THIS VIDEO!?! I literally started crying watching this! Bittersweet beautiful soul-wrenching gorgeous song that it is.

Guys, I cannot explain the emotional paint splatter of my heart as I watched this video for the first time just now. Chino, I assume you write the lyrics? Well dude - yours have been the soundtrack, metaphor, and allegory to my entire adult life. All you guys are major influences on my writing. I have to say - I have thoroughly enjoyed your evolution, listening to you grow and become what you are.
I want to tell you that your music has touched me on a level where no girlfriend, lover, friend, family member or even own music has ever touched. For that, I thank you. Keep. It. Coming.
