Deftones - Rubicon Lyrics






You cannot face the crowd all by yourself - embrace the power we have

Raise your eyes slowly
Place your faith into me

Your body, it aches to be draped in our delight slowly

Take me in
Face the lights
Free yourself and writhe in them

Sound asleep, hunting
Wide awake, moaning
This body aches to be
Draped in you tonight
Slowly

Take me in
Face the lights
Free yourself and writhe in them
Take me in
Face the crowd
Let yourself, just writhe in them

You cannot face the crowd all by yourself - embrace the power we have
This record's ours to break - the more we build, the crowd goes wild
Goes wild...

Take me in
Face the lights
Free yourself and writhe in them
Take me in
Face the crowd
Let yourself, just writhe in them

You cannot face the crowd all by yourself - embrace the power we have
This record's ours to break and the more we build, the crowd goes wild
Goes wild!

Deftones Rubicon Comments
  1. t.... g....

    EVERY Deftones song is my FAVORITE Deftones song!!

  2. t.... g....

    THE ONLY BAND I KNOW THAT NOT A SINGLE SONG I DISLIKE!!

  3. J.... ....

    WOO

    WOO

    WOO

  4. M.... R....

    Didn’t like this album but I did LOVE this song.

    M.... R....

    Best song on the album.... fan since Hexagram, Deftones!!🤘

  5. A.... N....

    Love Deftones. This song is awesome. It's so atmospheric.

  6. M.... S....

    I have this album but i havent listend to it in a long time and forgot about this song untill a video came up on my facebook of this bloke prating about in a thong (disturbing) with this song on it. I had to close my eyes to try and remember it ffs 😂

  7. T.... W....

    Poisonous stuff, in the good way

  8. P.... N....

    Hace menos de tres meses deftones toco tres shows en santiago , chile, completando 9 recitales aca. Solo repitieron entre las tres noches 6 u 8 temas, dentro de los que queria escuchar estaba este, dentro de los que no estaba phanton bride y la tocaron , ahora amo ambos pero rubicon continua siendo el favorito mio de gore. Verlos felices, estando vigentes, vigorosos del alma, con pasion, es la mejor paga , han sido 9 veces, 9 veces de adrenalina a la vena, ya necesito mi nueva dosis

  9. T.... J....

    Another great album by my favorite band of all time Deftones.

  10. S.... B....

    I've been a Deftones fan for years. I heard this album when it first came out, but I guess I wasn't open to it at the time. I recently started listening to them again and rediscovered this song. Holy shit, the 3:56 mark hooked me. It has been on repeat for a few days now. My poor neighbors get to listen to me sing that part over and over.

  11. Y.... V....

    nada mal :'v

  12. F.... ....

    What a fucking closer. God damn.

  13. C.... w....

    This and prayers/triangles are the best songs of the album,don’t get me wrong all of the songs are awesome just like the album,but these 2 in my opinion are the best!.

  14. e.... ....

    They will never let us down as a fans, this is a beautiful and powerful song. #deftones #gore #rubicon

  15. A.... V....

    This song immediately hooked me.  Best track off the album.

    A.... V....

    Hard to pick a favorite off this album. Depends on your mood and the stage you are at in your life. Right now, Rubicon is the one. But Hearts/Wires has a sound that goes beyond anything I've ever heard.

  16. k.... ....

    Chino is a genius when it comes to sequencing albums.

  17. T.... W....

    not the best to listen during your couple breakdown

  18. h.... ....

    The more I listen to this song the more I think it's the quintessential Deftones song. It has all the elements that make them great

  19. M.... ....

    The title sounds like a fucked up Pokemon character

  20. R.... ....

    The chorus in this song is the shit

  21. B.... P....

    wtf is it with deftones making fantastic songs

  22. G.... C....

    the more we build, the crowd goes wild!!!! you know you're right!!!!

  23. 3.... ....

    horrible mess of a album. Why does it sound like it was recorded in a tin can? Chino is moaning and wailing incoherently, all fire and noise, signifying nothing. Its possible, as a band, they have said everything of import they could in their previous albums, there's just nothing original or noteworthy here . I fret its time for them to hang it up, unless they can pull it together next album, and tighten things up.

    3.... ....

    6955beniegn

    huh.. his lyrics on this are the most thought out

  24. I.... S....

    Mais uma música foda!!! Deftones é do caralho bro!

  25. A.... ....

    Thanks to this song now i know about the historic fact of Julius Caesar passing through the Rubicon river. This term gives name to the expression, goes through the rubicon when someone makes an important and risky decision , assuming consequences. Music is culture.

  26. E.... E....

    And the most fucked up record that I listened too in a while goes too??!!

  27. K.... L....

    Loving this song since it came out 😫🤘💕

  28. A.... L....

    2:43, NOSSA SENHORA, música pra pedalar daqui ao infinito. Uma daquelas músicas do Deftones que me faz querer voltar na época que eu transava ouvindo Change e dizia no ouvido da garota "é do último álbum!" É, enfim, sigo aqui pedalando por outro país, hoje em Caen, na França. Abraço.

  29. f.... F....

    What a way to end an album! It'll always seem, for me, like a peak into the sound of their next album.

  30. H.... R....

    This sounds like a sequel to Hexagram or Pins and Needles

  31. T.... B....

    I fucking love this song

  32. D.... R....

    Im skeptical about the songwriting process of this album. Mr. Carpenter was sidelined in favor of Jerry Cantrell, who I believe actually wrote almost half of Gore and thats what lead to the tension between Steph and Moreno. But this one, Rubicon, is all Deftones! Delicious bridge and chorus...Theyre back!!

    D.... R....

    Thats what the record label tells us, but if you listen to Cantrell songs like 'Leave Me Alone' and then Xenon, LMIRL, Pittura Infamente, perhaps others, youll notice a striking resemblance in the style of songwriting. Ive been writing rock+metal songs for 20 years, with a musical ear, and to me its fairly easy to tell. And that idea also fits other things - the fallout between Mr. Carpenter and Moreno, the odd intros, segmented song structures where heavy guitar is only allowed at the end -almost as if in consolation -, slower - and major - chord sequences, the repeated, slow chord climb-down at the end of one of the songs - which Deftones has never done - , the slightly confused ride symbols - as if Abe is being asked to play something that doesnt fit his style, that Rubicon was put last, and the appearance of (wonderful) duet harmonies, as if there were two people originally singing. While a couple of these might be amiss, who knows, Mr. Carpenter certainly didnt write half of this album.

  33. K.... F....

    luz. armonía magia es deftones

  34. J.... H....

    I think this is it...

  35. S.... T....

    Best fucking band!!!!! ❤️

  36. K.... ....

    This is amazing!

  37. V.... M....

    Love the guitar in the chorus.

    V.... M....

    i like ur hair

    V.... M....

    me tooo!

  38. m.... ....

    Great song. The chorus is pretty amazing.

  39. T.... G....

    I like this song. ☺

  40. D.... W....

    damn I'm scared for the rest of this album... deftones is falling off

    D.... W....

    Darrell Whitney what's there to be scared of this is like the best song

  41. G.... K....

    3:15 :) I always screaming when i walk on the street and listen this track ..best work Guys thank you!!!

  42. M.... ....

    Didn't like Gore as much as I thought I would, but this song is really good

  43. R.... F....

    This song sounds like its played live

  44. E.... S....

    "The crowd goes wild".....Hexagram anyone?

    E.... S....

    Don't compare this song to that obnoxious, overrated piece of crap

    E.... S....

    @Brian M fuck your pets, Brian

    E.... S....

    @juscallmeChris lmmfao!!!! right?!

    E.... S....

    @J'Dinkaledge Morgoon OMG IM ROLLIN!!! HAHAHAHA!!!

    E.... S....

    @juscallmeChris Funny cuz i was reading your reply here as he went "WOOO"

  45. T.... D....

    another song about the crowd going wild.  great...

    T.... D....

    Tons of artists reuse lyrics! And they have so many songs written already... I personally think it's interesting

  46. S.... ....

    3:56 I want 3 minutes of this guitar part,fucking awesome

  47. d.... r....

    This chorus was so vaguely in my head today. It's still so new to me it took me a while to put a finger on what it was. I went and listened to it and now I realized how much of a beautiful fcking masterpiece this song is

    d.... r....

    That's the way it is with Deftones. I always hear bits of there songs in my head but have trouble putting my finger on which song it is I'm thinking of. I think that's why it seems many fans are torn on this album. They just haven't fully grasped the sounds of Gore yet. It takes a bit more time with this one. That's my theory.

    d.... r....

    Gore might also just be an album you either love or hate. I personally love it.

    d.... r....

    +Dustin Crissman I completely agree. Once you listen enough to understand how the songs unfold, you can really start appreciating the album

  48. A.... M....

    One of the best choruses on the album

    A.... M....

    +mweh kweh THE best chorus on the album.

    A.... M....

    +lfcizdabest ikr

    Tips to facing the crowd:
    1. Take me in
    2. Face the lights
    3. Free yourself
    4. Writhe in them
    5. Embrace the power we have
    Raising your eyes slowly and placing your faith into me might be of help too

    J.... H....
