Classic love story true to his western tx roots. One of my favorites as a story, but I think there are alot of songs that are amazing not even listed on this site. I guess I should figure out how to add them, because I have about 8 REK cd's.
You and I, complete
She can take me apart
Off through the earth
Then back in the car
'Cause once you begin
You're not gonna stop
I know how you are
Hold it, stop
Then you're not gonna stop, me
Hold it, stop
I know how you are
Oh, please
Through the earth, when I start
Then back in the car
You were aware
I ask you to stop
I know how you are
Alone, awake
Alone, alone
No stopping
On fire alone
Alone, awake
Alone, alone
And you're not gonna stop
Hold it, stop
You're not gonna stop
Now once you begin
I know how you are
She can take me apart
Off through the earth
Then back in the car
'Cause once you begin
You're not gonna stop
I know how you are
Hold it, stop
Then you're not gonna stop, me
Hold it, stop
I know how you are
Oh, please
Through the earth, when I start
Then back in the car
You were aware
I ask you to stop
I know how you are
Alone, awake
Alone, alone
No stopping
On fire alone
Alone, awake
Alone, alone
And you're not gonna stop
Hold it, stop
You're not gonna stop
Now once you begin
I know how you are

Warren wanted a Beach Boys thing for this one, and Carl Wilson and Billy Hinsche came in, with Carl arranging the vocal parts. The other harmony vocalists (credited as the "Gentlemen Boys") were Jackson Browne, J.D. Souther, Zevon's longtime backers Waddy Wachtel and Jorge Calderon, and Linda Rondstadt/Stone Poneys guitarist Kenny Edwards.

This song is def a twin to "Unfair" (a song she has been quoted as saying is about falling in love with someone who is already in a relationship) so it is presumably about the same person. Given the references to buying an apartment and not being able to see her love interest "after tonight," it's most likely that she's moving away and she'll "wait a day to break the bad news" (i.e. notifying him that she's leaving once she's already gone).
And, of course, the fact that she sees in him a fellow "idealist" and "dreamer" (terms commonly given to people with the INFP personality on the Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)) portends that she'll always be left wondering if they would've been perfect together.

This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
If Deftones made be quiet and drive in 2005, it would sound alot like this
when i heard ‘you’re not gonna stop i know how you are’ i thought about drug addiction. I l interpreted it as a woman/ girlfriend who has an addiction to drugs and he doesn’t think she’ll get over it.
I think this is about the feeling you get when you meet that person who changes everything in that they enter your realm & they can never be forgotten - for better or for worse, they almost become a part of you, implanting themselves into your subconscious.
umm about someone. It's about a girl. who is physically/emotionally hurting a guy.
or a girl who wont stop "hurting" him so to speak with her actions toward other guys.
Or this could literally be talking about her having sex with him. and him not enjoying it because the love is gone?
I think it's the second idea. the whole "take me apart" seems more emotional than physical. through the earth perhaps being the lust itself, and her not going to stop even though he isn't interested. i love the way he sings "you're not going to stop, i know how you are..."
Reminds me of a person with no self respect, or an addict.
The last word in the song is 'loose' after "I know how you are".
I think it's the 3rd idea, about sex. THe lyrics don't give too many hints but based on how Chino tends to write lyrics, a ton of them have to do with sex, so if the glove fits...
He dosn't say "Oh please", he says "Loose".
i really don't know what this song means. so i'll just take what the people here have already stated. but this has to be my fav song on the whole album. the name team sleep really says it all, i fall asleep listening to it, cuz it's just to calming and peaceful
prostitution?
