Deftones - Headup Lyrics






Got back out, back off the forefront
I never said or got to say bye to my boy
But it's often I try, I think about
How I'd be screaming and the times we'd be bumping
Our minds would be flowin'
Taking care of shit like, "hey homies, what ya' needin'?"
If life's comin' off whack, well, open your eyes

This has begun you seem to have some doubt
I feel you next to fiending, getting spacey
With the common love of music
Think of this as the sun and the mind as a tool
But we could bounce back from this one
With attitude, will and some spirit
With attitude, will and your spirit
We'll shove it aside

Soulfly
Fly high
Soulfly
Fly free

Shut your shit, please say what you will
I can't think sidestep around
I'm bound to the freestyle
Push it all down to the ground
With a nova dash but they watch you
Now climb up, super slide
The spirit's so low, it's coming over you

Soulfly
Fly high
Soulfly
Fly free

When you walk into this world
Walk into this world
With your head up high
Walk into this world
With your head up high
Walk into this world
With your head up high
Walk into this world
With your head up high

Head up, head up, head up, head up, high
Head up, head up, head up, head up, high
Head up, head up, head up, head up, high
Head up, head up, head up, head up, high
Head up, head up, head up, head up, high
Head up, head up, head up, head up
Head up, head up, head up, head up
Head up, head up, head up, head up

  11. K.... K....

    Sometimes, to get the pain “out” you have to cut yourself “open”

    This song reminds me of a newer version of engine no 9

  30. M.... A....

    It's impossible not to headbang with Carpenter's riffs, simple yet effective.

    M.... A....

    The riff of this song has been written by Max Cavalera

  38. M.... M....

    Why does he sound like MC Ride?

    M.... M....

    4564 Andrew Kazichson both Chino and MC Ride do this kind of scream rapping where it sounds less like actual rapping and more like someone talking as quickly and aggressively as they can.

  39. S.... ....

    This destroys.

  40. G.... ....

  41. n.... m....

    E.... M....

    Daddy I was there for that concert. Holy shit it was crazy

  70. J.... C....

    This track should have been a repetitive verse. It hits like a fist full of steel

    Fuck yeah man rap! XD

  71. R.... I....

    Breaking Benjamin - Topless intro is way better than this!!!

    R.... I....

    If you hate stupid people then you should hate yourself..... lol

    R.... I....

    please don't compare breaking Benjamin and deftones. don't get me wrong i love them both but they're two very different bands that shouldn't be compared.

    R.... I....

  74. G.... R....

    This song is deadly played live. The place got destroyed in Bethlehem. It was kick ass

    G.... R....

    Kellen I traveled 5 hours to see them in Charlotte on June 20th. They opened up with this in the pouring rain. I lost my fuckin mind and my voice for days. I was jumping around like a fuckin maniac after 5-12 dollar beers lol. Half the people were just bobbing their heads. I was ready to start a fucking riot. Hell yeah, Deftones Life!!!!

    G.... R....

    Chris Sawyer dude the funniest shit happened at the concert i was at --- there were crushed beer cans EVERYWHERE and i slipped on one in the moshpit --- it was simultaneously the most embarrassing and funniest thing ever

    G.... R....

    Kellen haha. I bet. There were thousands of beer cans everywhere in Charlotte. People were pissing on the grass. The rain was so heavy and it being pretty dark with so many people I guess they just didn't care. It reminded me of a mini Woodstock. Lol.

    G.... R....

    Chris Sawyer good shit man

    G.... R....

    Did Jesus mosh?

  75. W.... ....

    Manic. That is all.

    W.... ....

  76. M.... C....

    M.... C....

    Mailson Cerqueira julian ?

    f.... ....

    If you bumped into me, and it annoyed me just enough, I'd kill you.

  78. 1.... ....

    Fucking awesome....remember watching them play this at Manchester academy when I was a wee teen...34 now and it still does the same...I'm not dead yet...lol....only other song that gives me this feeling or close to it is ashes in the fall byRATM....

    1.... ....

    1.... ....

    Ashes in the fall yeah so good this song !

    1.... ....

    I'm 37 and deftones is one of the few bands I loved as teen and I'm still listening to it today :)

  79. g.... o....

    this song is sad if you know the backstory tho

    g.... o....

    +glass of voss what is it?

    g.... o....

    really? tell me

    g.... o....

    this song is pretty much dedicated to Max cavalera's step son who died that year. they wrote this song as a way to cope with the loss. his name was dana and he was close with max and chino. also max got the band name soulfly from this song

    g.... o....

    @Hollywood nice

    g.... o....

    Hollywood mind=blown

  80. V.... 3....

    Moshpit song

    V.... 3....

    YEEESSSS saw them two nights ago and the pit went HAM to this

  81. R.... S....

    I lamost choked on my poutine trying to head bang while I eat lunch

    R.... S....

    I really like poutine

    R.... S....

    Raymond Sandberg fellow Canadian

    R.... S....

    Raymond Sandberg lol

    R.... S....

    It would have been a good death

    R.... S....

    Good day, eh?

  82. C.... R....

    I'm 25 years old shit just had me bouncing around my house like I was 14 hearing it for the first time all over again haha. Fucking DEFTONES

    C.... R....

    Jaime D.G. saludos hermano chileno.. te manda saludos un amigo mexicano desde north carolina

    C.... R....

    I'm 28 doing the same thing. Not heard this in years but the nostalgia is huge. Never be ashamed of your past. It shaped you as the person you are today

    C.... R....

    Chris Ramsey 24 years here and head banging like no tomorrow!

    C.... R....

    :) I'm 39, I saw them at the beggining, it's my fountain of Youth

    C.... R....

    Im 35 and still bouncing for fuck sake :D this is called THE BEAST INSIDE :D

  83. M.... N....

    Nu Metal brings back memories. I was at a metallica show where deftones opened it seemed odd that the guy was yelling out Soulfly. One if my favourite nu metal tropes was the muffled yelling.

    M.... N....

    Alternative metal really but definitely the same time era. I love deftones

  84. r.... l....

    deftones = best erection I ever had

  85. r.... t....

    3:26 Hell yeah

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

    this song always sounded dark and I've always thought it should've been in a horror movie with a bunch of gore and what pisses me off about the song is that its not dark at all

  87. O.... C....

    this is art
    i fucking love art!

  88. a.... r....

    MAX!!!!!!!!

  89. b.... ....

    One of my favorite songs from my favorite band. They played this in Camden this summer and it was 3.5 of the best minutes of my life.

  90. A.... B....

    MUSE Riff :D

    A.... B....

    @Joel Abner Cortés Lara no

    A.... B....

    +Joel Abner Cortés Lara Muse respects deftones. It's well-known story.

    A.... B....

    After New Born :)

    A.... B....

    +Chay Gomez jaja ya se que no es de muse!

    A.... B....

    It's a pretty typical riff though. It's in Norma jeans 'Vertabraille' aswell

  91. I.... ....

    I have a beard and hate my life ...love you all

  92. D.... R....

    I just realized this song is about Max Cavalera's stepson Dana who was killed in a car accident just before he left Sepultura.

    D.... R....

    +David Rinden That's Max singing the parts "soul fly... fly high/fly free". That's also where he got the name of his band.

    D.... R....

    I'm pretty sure those parts are sung by Max and Chi

    D.... R....

    Hence the band soulfly

    D.... R....

    He did a lot of guest spot and did the back up parts yes but...I herd Him doing them as well and he’s amazing ✊

  93. s.... ....

    pim pim pim pim

    s.... ....

    +sawnod Pim Pim Pim Pim is EXACTLY how I feel....those lyrics just hit home for me..

  94. m.... e....

    Its really bugging me now
    what is chino saying in the chorus in between the "soulfly!! fly high!!!" bit?

    m.... e....

    +mike evans its easy
    FLAH BLAH TA BLAH TA BLAH BLAH

    m.... e....

    +Jesse Watson ahhh yes finally that's what I thought thank you

    m.... e....

    I think the chorus lines always end with a "rip out your parasite", you can also hear him say this live, but the rest....no idea :D

    m.... e....

    It's the same in engine no. 9 no fucking clue what he is singing, but it sounds awesome

  95. 7.... S....

    any Volumes fans here?   I think if Volumes did a cover of this song it would be fuckin sick !!

    7.... S....

    i'm not comparing them to deftones, i'm just saying they'd do a sick cover of it, and parkway killed it with that rage cover it was sick.

    7.... S....

    We aren't comparing their skill level people god damn lol, just a cover would be intersting.

    7.... S....

    Guys, in no way am I comparing skill set or experience. I love both bands and I am only saying with how Volumes sounds, I think they would do a badass cover of this song.

    7.... S....

    yeah dude volumes is fucking dope

    7.... S....

    😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

  96. M.... M....

    *So this sounds like LP ? explain that bitches !*

    M.... M....

    deftones is much before linkin park. linkin park has influenced by deftones.

    M.... M....

    by the fact this song you are talkin about its FORGOTTEN , But they not rip off this song cuz they made that song on 1996 , when they was XERO was RHINESTONE
