'RX Queen'
Deftones Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I won't stop following you
Now help me pray for
The death of everything new
Then we'll fly farther

'Cause you're my girl
And that's alright
If you sting me, I won't mind

We'll stop to rest on the moon
And we'll make a fire
I'll steal a carcass for you
Then feed off the virus

'Cause you're my girl
And that's alright
If you sting me, I won't mind
'Cause you're my girl
And that's alright
If you sting me, I won't mind

(And now look at 'em
Look at 'em now, look at 'em, sting)
(And now look at 'em
Look at 'em now, look at 'em, sting)
(And now look at 'em
Look at 'em now, look at 'em, sting)
(And now look at 'em
Look at 'em now, look at 'em, sting)

I see a red light in June
And I hear crying
You turn newborn baby blue
Now we're all the virus

You're my girl
And that's alright
If you sting me, I won't mind
'Cause you're my girl
And that's alright
If you sting me, I won't mind

(And now look at 'em
Look at 'em now, look at 'em, sting)
(And now look at 'em
Look at 'em now, look at 'em, sting)
(And now look at 'em
Look at 'em now, look at 'em, sting)
(And now look at 'em
Look at 'em now, look at 'em, sting)
(Sting)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Deftones's song 'RX Queen' express a disturbing but enthralling devotion to another person. The singer professes their unwavering commitment to follow and serve this person, even if it means praying for the destruction of everything new. This could represent their desire to reject any changes or challenges to their relationship dynamic. The promise of flying farther together could symbolize their shared delusion that they are above the mundane world and its rules, and that they can transcend normal limitations together. The line "if you sting me, I won't mind" is particularly unsettling, as the singer seems to be inviting harm or manipulation from their object of affection in exchange for their devotion.


The second verse takes us even further into this strange and unsettling world, as the couple "stop to rest on the moon" and feed off a carcass together. The image of stealing a carcass for one's beloved is both savage and romanticized, indicating a twisted view of love and loyalty. The mention of a virus could represent the idea that their bond is destructive and contagious. The final verse adds a surreal and eerie element to the song, as a red light and crying evoke a sense of danger or tragedy, while the reference to a "newborn baby blue" could suggest the cyclical nature of life and death.


Overall, 'RX Queen' is a chilling and poetic exploration of a deeply disturbed and disturbing relationship. The lyrics hint at obsession, control, and even violence, while also portraying a strange kind of intimacy and devotion.

@samharris4793

I've been there. Here's my interpretation:

I won't stop following you
- addict chasing drug
Now help me pray for
The death of everything new
- recovery for both
Then we'll fly farther
- imagine sobriety for us, no more chase
'Cause you're my girl
And that's alright
- despite being poisonous, it's ok because I need your connection
If you sting me
I won't mind
- fuck me over I don't care, I still need my fix
We'll stop to rest on the moon
And we'll make a fire
I'll steal a carcass for you
- empty promises to pay back a front
Then feed off the virus
- biproduct of addiction
'Cause you're my girl
And that's alright
If you sting me
I won't mind
'Cause you're my girl
And that's alright
If you sting me
I won't mind
- fuck me over I don't care, I still need my fix (same delusion)
I see a red light in June
And I hear crying
You turn newborn baby blue
- upset she's moving away around summer and I will be nothing without you
Now we're all the virus
- nobody can hide from it
You're my girl
And that's alright
If you sting me
I won't mind
'Cause you're my girl
And that's alright
If you sting me
I won't mind
- redundant
