Bong Hit
Deftones Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You're so sweet
Your smile
Your pussy
And your bones
You're on fire
You move me
Like music
With your style

Let me think (and you think about what)
About girls (and what else)
And money
And new clothes (and what do I get)
Thirty nights (uh huh)
Of violence (yeah)
And sugar
To love

Come here, come here
Closer to the lung
So I can, I can
Shove her over railing

You're sweet
But I'm tired
Of proving
This love
See, you're a bore
But you move me
Like a movie
That you love

Let me think (and you think about what)
About girls (and what else)
And money
And new clothes (and what do I get)
Thirty nights (uh huh)
Of violence (yeah)
And sugar
To love

Come here, come here
Closer to the lung
So I can, I can
Shove her over railing

Let me think (and you think about what)
About girls (and what else)
And money
And new clothes (and what do I get)
Thirty nights (uh huh)
Of violence (yeah)
And sugar
To love

Come here, come here
Closer to the lung
Come here, come here
Closer to the lung




So I can, I can
Shove her over railing

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Deftones' song "Bong Hit" are somewhat enigmatic and include some provocative and aggressive lines. At first glance, it seems that the singer is praising a woman who is sweet and attractive, yet there are hints of violence and disdain in his words. He compares her to music and a movie he loves, yet also describes her as a bore. The repeated lines about thinking about girls, money, and new clothes, followed by nights of violence and sugar to love, may suggest a theme of materialism and impulsivity, where the singer seeks pleasure and excitement through superficial means.


Some interpretations of the song suggest that it is a commentary on the objectification and commodification of women in society, where they are reduced to their physical attributes and used for the pleasure of men. The aggressive lines about shoving her over a railing could be seen as a metaphor for this violence and disregard, where the woman is treated as an object to be consumed and then discarded. Additionally, the repeated reference to a "lung" could be a reference to drug use and addiction, which further supports the idea of seeking pleasure through destructive means.


Overall, the lyrics to "Bong Hit" are somewhat ambiguous and open to interpretation, but they convey a sense of dissatisfaction and restlessness, as well as a darker side of human desire and impulse.
