Pink Maggit
Deftones Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'll stick you
Then I'll
I'll take your oxygen away
I'll set you on fire
'Cause I'm on fire
And always you alone
So when to
This whore
I'm free
And they lose her
So forget about me
'Cause I'll stick you

Push back the square
Now that you need her, and you throw
Well, there you go
'Cause back in school
We are the leaders of all

Transpose
Or stop your lies
It's what you do

Push back the square
Now that you need her, but you don't
So, there you go
'Cause back in school
We are the leaders of all

So transpose
Or stop your lies
It's what you do
Transpose
Or stop your lies

Push back the square
Now that you need her, and you throw
Now there you go
'Cause back in school
We are the leaders of it all

All you are
All you are
All you are




All you are
Is me

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Deftones's song "Pink Maggit" are quite enigmatic and open to interpretation. The song is a slow-burning track that gradually builds up in intensity before reaching a climactic finale. The opening lines, "I'll stick you / Then I'll / I'll take your oxygen away / I'll set you on fire / 'Cause I'm on fire / And always you alone" suggest a feeling of intense anger and aggression towards someone. The lyrics seem to imply that the singer has been wronged in some way and is seeking revenge.


The lines "So when to / This whore / I'm free / And they lose her / So forget about me / 'Cause I'll stick you" suggest that the singer has moved on from the person who wronged them and is now free to do what they want. The chorus, "Push back the square / Now that you need her, and you throw / Well, there you go / 'Cause back in school / We are the leaders of all" seems to suggest a sense of regret and longing for a simpler time, perhaps when the singer and the person they are addressing were in school together.


The lines "All you are / All you are / All you are / All you are / Is me" suggest a sense of possession and control over the person the singer is addressing. The song overall seems to be about the complex emotions that arise when a relationship ends and one person feels wronged by the other.

LYRICS:

I'll stick you a little
Enough to take your oxygen away
Then I'll set you on fire
'Cause I'm on fire
And I'm with you alone
I'm so into this whore
Afraid I might lose her
So forget about me
'Cause I'll stick you

Pushed back the square
Now that you've kneed her
In the throat
Well, there you go
'Cause back in school
We are the leaders of all

Transpose
Or stop your life
It's what you do

Pushed back the square
Now that you need her
But you don't, so there you go
'Cause back in school
We are the leaders of all

So transpose
Or stop your life
Is what you do
Transpose
Or stop your life
Is what you do

Pushed back the square
Now that you've kneed her
In the throat
Well, there you go
'Cause back in school
We are the leaders of all

You are
You are

All you are
All you are
All you are
All you are
Is meat

I found this album all scratched up on the floor when I was middle school. Didn't think it would work but my cd player came through, oh my god I was shocked. This song blew me away, the entire album was a game changer for me. I was 13 and now I'm 33, still a big fan and still spin this album daily. Timeless album, Deftones really were ahead of their time.

@puredragonn

Who the hell would leave a Deftones CD on the floor?

@mechanicalr

@@puredragonn guess someone who thought it wasn't going to work anymore? Haha idk but I got lucky that day 😂

@twistychristie3611
