But Chingo tended to write only about hating women. Can't recall too many songs of him hating on human society. I could be wrong though.

That's actually true, though Most of the lyrics from white pony onwards are rather vague.

Minerva is an strange example of Chino singing to a Goddess rather than a mortal woman.

And many people agrees that in moana he is singing to a stripper.

The crazy love/hate lyrics stopped after S/T. When Girls Telephone Boys is probably the last example of this type of writing. And yeah the marriage thing does explain the change quite well.

The creepy sexual shit was my main reason for listening to this band.

I dunno I think You've Seen the Butcher has pretty creepy lyrics, although the songs at that point are way more slick and less scratchy sounding, so the creepy vibe is mostly gone

didn't think people actually listened to Deftones lyrics that closely

surely if they did there'd be a whole lot more "bitching" about stuff like Rocket Skates?

Lyrics from this band are pretty meaningless for the most part anyway. Read an interview with Chino not so long back, and he said when he writes lyrics it's purposefully nonsensical and he forgets what he even wrote most of the time.

keeping their lyrics vague is what made them stand out though. their peers like Korn were very on the nose. Deftones were every bit as heavy but they were more tasteful about it by leaving a bit to the imagination.

Yeah, that's cool, but when it's all meaninglessly vague, kinda pointless reading into them.

Speaking of lyrics, this is one of the few bands where I tend to only know the chorus lyrics and nothing else.

Damn this is really underwhelming considering how amazing Koi No and Diamond Eyes were.
