Ten Speed
Coheed and Cambria Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My body's cold and it thinks I'm already gone
Or is it in the way your body moves
I'd like to tell you
But I think that you already know
The words I drag out from your mouth speak
So listen up world, listen up world
In her vision I have given company
Believer, you'll leave her, in leaving them all
No but I don't buy it
Like anything you do, as anyone you are
Ten Speed, if I must...then I must
If written wrote me even chance
And the choice to save you
I wouldn't answer if it even had to ask
In her figure I've instilled a taste of my own
To make it easier to take what life I'm owed
As the curse has returned from the hell of you
Heart and your soul
Nobody knows but you
I don't want to ride tonight...
No I don't want to go
Cause I'm...
Ten speed, of God's blood and burial
The lyrics of Coheed and Cambria's song Ten Speed are full of cryptic messages and metaphors that can be interpreted in different ways. The opening lines are about the connection between two people, and how the singer can feel the other person's blood and heartbeats. However, the singer's own body seems cold and lifeless, suggesting a sense of detachment or disconnection from the world. The next line "Or is it in the way your body moves" hints at the possibility of a romantic or sexual relationship, and how the singer is attracted to the other person's physical presence. However, the singer seems hesitant to express their feelings fully, indicating a fear of rejection or a lack of confidence.
The chorus "Ten speed, of God's blood and burial" is an enigmatic phrase that has been interpreted in different ways by fans and critics. Some have speculated that it's a reference to the band's sci-fi concept album series, where Ten Speed refers to a character or a ship. Others see it as a metaphor for the human condition, whereby we are all vessels of divine energy that is both life-giving and death-dealing. The song also touches on themes of betrayal, sacrifice, and redemption, as the singer grapples with the difficult choices they have to make in order to survive.

@phillipburke9522
The fan operator for Claudio's hair deserves a big raise after this video!!
@MrMCguy774
+Phillip Burke there is no fan operator. Claudio's hair magically floats in the wind like the free animal it is
@stashar.4535
+Phillip Burke I was thinking the same thing lol
@Tchernodawg
I was gonna say, Claudio's hair is its own living entity. It's basically what the Amory Wars were truly fought over, if you think about it.
@drysiftwizard3469
Ok loololololol
@asmariamoon
Claudio's hair is the Monstar Virus made manifest. It has a will of its own, and cannot be tamed.
@phyrexian7913
This entire album is criminally underrated.
