==MUSIC VIDEO==
The video for "Minerva", directed by Paul Fedor, features the band playing the song on a desert like landscape backed by various amplifiers and other stage equipment. It was filmed near the Salton Sea in southern California in 2003, during a sandstorm. The filming process itself was fraught with problems, as the sand caused problems with the recording equipment and lighting set-up. The shoot eventually took 22 hours to complete, with Abe Cunningham saying that "[the shoot] sucked" and Chi Cheng calling it "terrible", but conceding that "it [is] a trippy video. I actually like it a lot".
==TRACK LISTING==
1. "Minerva" – 4:17 (Deftones)
2. "Sinatra" – 4:34 (Hamilton)
3. "Sleep Walk" – 2:30 (Farina/Farina)
The second and third tracks are covers. "Sinatra", written by Page Hamilton, was originally performed by Helmet on 1990's Strap It On, while "Sleep Walk" is a cover of a highly popular 1959 single by Santo & Johnny.
Minerva
Deftones Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When she sings, then it's over
Such a strange numb
And it brings my knees to the earth
And God bless you all
For the song you sang us
When you sing, it's over
Such a strange numb
It could bring back peace to the earth
So God bless you all
For the song you sang us all
For the hearts you break
Every time you moan
I get all numb
We're the same numb
And it brings our knees to the earth
So God bless you all
For the song you sang us all
For the hearts you break
Every time you moan
And God bless you all on the earth
The lyrics to Deftones's song "Minerva" communicate the powerful and transformative impact of music. The singer in the song becomes completely numb when listening to someone sing, and this feeling is so strange and intense that it brings them to their knees. However, the singer doesn't view this numbness as a negative thing - in fact, they celebrate the power of the song to bring peace to the earth and uplift the listener's spirit. The repeated refrain of "God bless you all for the song you saved us" emphasizes the idea that music can be a salvation, a source of hope and healing in an otherwise confusing world.
The lyrics also acknowledge the emotional labor that goes into making music that can have such a profound effect on listeners. The line "for the hearts you break every time you moan" suggests that the singer is pouring their pain and suffering into their music, and that this vulnerability is what makes the song so moving. The song recognizes the beauty in this kind of artistic expression, as well as the intensity of emotion it can evoke.

My dad died early this morning. This was his favorite band. I don’t know much about them but I like what I heard. I’m gonna miss my dad. He went to soon.
REST IN PEACE

Update
It hasn’t even been a year and I have lost my grandma today. She was the heart of the whole family. Words cannot describe how hurt I am. Over the summer of my dad’s passing I learned guitar and I played for my grandma all the time and her dying wish was for me to play Wicked Game by Chris Isaac next to her in the hospital room. I want to thank you all for the support just with the few words. This has been my support for the past 9-10 months. Pretty much every day I have seen a response and I have liked every one of them. I have no clue what my mom and I will do as of now but I hope something will happen that will save us. At least I know my grandma and dad will be together somewhere and they are looking over me till the day I die. They were both stubborn to leave like the Scorpios they are 💙
