Deftones - Battle Axe Lyrics






I want to sleep if you are awake
Still making believe that you aren't at all crazy
And if you don't believe I think you should
You make me so proud
Still you love to think you have always been this way... but you're all wrong
And you only sleep when you've lost cause
Well I still believe that the cause was always me
And if you don't believe I think you should
You make me so proud
Still you love to think you have always been this way
Well I'd love to think you will someday feel the same
And you love to think it will always...always...
If you still believe it wil always be this way... well you're all wrong

  1. L.... S....

    Gone are the days where I interpret many of Deftones song lyrics in any other way than them pertaining to spiritual enlightenment. This song is one of them.

    this album still kills me, they were all deep in the throes of coke, I was sad when it came out because I was 16 and I didn't understand, it was no longer happy deftones. Now I understand, and it's heavier than ever.

  40. M.... G....

    Don’t think this album gets enough love. It’s my personal favorite. There’s so many hidden gems and this is definitely one of them

  41. M.... R....

    Such a artistic approach master piece # deftones

  42. T.... ....

    Every single time I hear that killer intro shredding I imagine a stormy sky with thundering and rainfall as the two rivals begin fighting...

  43. T.... A....

    It's weird how this was the first deftones album I ever listened to, fell in love with every song in it before I even thought to check the rest out.

  74. W.... ....

    How does deftones do this to me?♡

  75. F.... E....

    Por siempre Deftones <3

  76. i.... ....

    Am I the only one who thought this song was like a pt 2 to When Girls Telephone Boys? They seem like a perfect fit (the songs I mean, not the characters portrayed in them)

    i.... ....

    Starting from Deathblow all the way 'til the end, sounds like a 7-song medley to me. Their best album, by far.

  77. J.... ....

    So fucking dark.

  78. W.... ....

    I have to replay.

  79. s.... ....

    I want to sleep if you are awake

    Just try having sex to this song...

  81. L.... M....

    0:33 Send in the Mongole Horde!!!

  82. B.... ....

    Just ordered this album today! Can't wait till it gets here!

    B.... ....

    So......did you get it finally?

    B.... ....

    Did you get it! We must know!

  83. D.... ....

    So intense

  84. D.... J....

    When he says "ARE" in the first line.... O M F G

  85. T.... T....

    My top favorite song for the last 12 years and counting. I will never forget what it did for me when I finished reading Frank Herbert's Dune Messiah. It totally fitted in with the end of the novel.

  86. R.... C....

    Everytime this song is over it gets replayed immediately. It's always been that way for me. Brings out some strong emotions this one does

  87. G.... B....

    " +Lyrics " Where is it?

  88. N.... E....

    I think the lyrics is about change, accepting change, and not neglecting change when change needs to happen.

  89. R.... ....

    I've only recently started to get into this album. For me, it was always about the first 3, I used to find this a bit bland but I can really appreciate it now

  90. m.... a....

    I love this album so much, since I was a kid I've loved deftones so much, today I dreamed about this song and have been playing it on repeat for a while now hehe,,, so good!!

  91. M.... ....

    I first heard this in Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2. Been in love with it since. :)

    M.... ....

    As same with me man!

  92. G.... H....

    Stephen Carpenter 🔥3::23...... 🎶🎸

  93. A.... S....

    This album gives me life <3

    A.... S....

    Ashlynn Seda me to it a work song

  94. N.... C....

    such a raw and gnarly intro! I can really associate with the lyrics too, reminds me of my delusional ex-gf

    N.... C....

    Noah Callahan same here...

    N.... C....

    You mean that one bitch!!!!

    N.... C....

    Delusional?

  95. a.... e....

    I've always been a deftones fan, but I actually found out about this song through Ghost Recon advanced warfighter 2

    a.... e....

    That makes you a half assed fan if you ask me.

    a.... e....

    +Carl Tully I overlooked this album for a while. and when I did, I forgot of its existence. Then I heard Battle Axe and I decided to check it out

    a.... e....

    Cool brother. The entire album has a certain tone that just tickles my ear. Hexagram, Good Morning Beautiful and Bloody Cape (mainly these 3) have this tinge to it when he hits all those strings. Love it. Glad you finally discovered it. Although they say "good music finds you" not the other way around. Good for you.

  96. B.... ....

    Intro instantly reminded me of the impact of reason by underoath lol

  97. L.... M....

    Sick, one of my favorites!!!
    I've made a full cover of it, check it in my channel

  98. Z.... 1....

    hits me right in the soul

  99. Z.... ....

    ONE TIME I HAD A REALLY BAD TRIP AND THIS SONG REMINDS ME OF IT BUTS ITS STILL TOO FUCKING DOPE TO NOT LIKE. GOD DAMN XDDD BAHAHAHAAAAA

  100. g.... ....

    The sound quality is so low I can hear the artifacting on my phone speaker
