Hole In The Earth
Deftones / Saturday Night Wrist 2006 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You're so able (how)
It's too late for me now
There's a hole in the earth (hole in the earth)
I'm out
There's a hole in the earth (I'm out)
If you're still able (whilst)
I think you know the truth
There's a hole in the earth
I'm out
I hate all of my friends
They all accept our time
There's a hole in the earth (I'm out)
There is a hole in the earth
Let's think about
This is the end
(Somewhere)
This is the end
(Somewhere)
There's a hole in the earth (hole in the earth)
There's a hole in the earth (hole in the earth)
I hate all of my friends
I'm out
There's a hole in the earth
(Somewhere)
The song "Hole In The Earth" by Deftones is about feeling trapped and seeking escape from a difficult situation. The singer is addressing someone who seems to have a way out, asking them to explain how they are able to escape. It is implied that it is too late for the singer to get out themselves, as they feel like there is a "hole in the earth" that they are trapped in. The repetition of this phrase, "there's a hole in the earth" emphasizes the feeling of being trapped and unable to escape.
The second verse explores a sense of isolation that the singer feels from their friends. They hate their friends because they feel like they are accepting their situation and not doing anything to help them escape. The bridge of the song repeats the phrase "this is the end" over and over, driving home the idea that the situation is hopeless and the singer feels stuck. The song ends with the repetition of the phrase "there's a hole in the earth" as a final statement of being trapped and unable to escape.

Can you explain to me how
You're so evil, how?
It's too late for me now
There's a hole in the earth, I'm out
There's a hole in the earth, I'm out
Can you explain to me now?
If you're still able, well
(It's time) I think you know the truth
There's a hole in the earth, I'm out
I hate all of my friends
They all lack taste sometimes
There's a hole in the earth, I'm out
There's a hole in the earth
Please take a bow (This is the end)
Somewhere (This is the end)
Somewhere
There's a hole in the earth (Hole in the earth)
There's a hole in the earth (Hole in the earth)
I hate all of my friends (I'm out)
There's a hole in the earth (I will wait)
Somewhere

The last time I saw Deftones, Chi Chang looked right at me, we were singing Cherry waves so hard and he looked like he was happy we knew the lyrics because the album had JUST came out. Incredible moment
