††† (Crosses) - op†ion

[@asifvomit]

I dream a day that God will surface To retrieve his nails and open your heart You'll say you're mine for the ages Just open your heart And say "I swear on the cross" Can you promise this to the grave You'll take my name? Can you promise me? Overseas and over mountains A thousand years I've waited for her To say the lines "from this day forward" Just open your heart And say "I swear on the cross" Can you promise this to the grave You'll take my name? Can you promise me? All this time I've prayed for this day to come true No one knows how deep the waves we waded through I wish I could take your hand and make it true 'Cause no one knows how far apart we've stayed to get through I wish I could take your hand and make it true Cause no one knows how far apart we stay to get through Can you say "I swear on the cross" Can you promise that to the grave You'll take my name? Can you promise me?

I fell I love with a girl in high school when i was 15 years old. We both went out and lived our lives until we reconnected when I was 32 years old. Now we are married and the happiest we have ever been. This song definitely makes me think of the time we were apart. I would dream of her so often. I NEVER stopped loving her. I was just afraid to tell her back then. So much time lost. I wish I had the confidence back then but I figured her to be WAY out of my league. I am so extremely happy that she felt the same. Damn...always speak your mind folks.

[@soundplug5027]

A girl I dated when we were 19.. we come back to each other all the time but when we're apart she's all I think about. All I dream about. I know she'll come back around, I just hope she stays this time. We're 26 now.

Dude, I assume you are an inspiration to the younger crowd. I'm 50 and you brought a tear to my eye. Everyone likes a good sweetheart love story. Glad it worked out for you in the end.

[@ruleofnines9331]

Love this❤

[@StylezMajorMusic]

I loved this song since I first heard it, me and my ex of two years both loved crosses before we even met. And this was our song, every time i'd play it it reminded me of the time we spent together. Although we are apart now for the better, this song reminds me of the good times we had.

[@theblackpearlofbraavos]

Been blasting this track since 2015. Chino Moreno's music is absolutely timeless.

[@anthonyespinoza1052]

This song encapsulates marriage beautifully

[@85devlin]

"Option" is my favourite song off the ††† album for sure. The bridge part of the song from 2:15 onwards is almost in-describable in words. The way Chino's melodic voice is absolutely beautiful and has brought me to tears many times but in a good way and I can't really explain it but it goes right to my soul and times when I haven't even felt upset or like I've needed to release emotion, A certain Deftones "Saturday Night Wrist or "Koi No Yokan" section of a song can make me almost have a mini breakdown out of nowhere that lasts only about 5 minutes but I always feel amazing afterwards. Sorry if that sounds weird to anyone it was for me the first few times but anyway I guess the Love is too much some times. Everybody dies alone but my Love for Deftones and my Love For Music in General, can't ever be taken from us and will be coming with me to the grave and I can take comfort in knowing that.

[@Hjbfd6436]

Isn't it beautiful? Fucking masterpiece. Especially that part. Favorite part in the whole album

[@erakattack]

this is their best song, hands down. the bridge is amazing and it's awesome how the guitar continues the bridge melody through the final choruses (Shaun doesn't play it in this performance). It complements the "I swear" lyric beautifully.

The most romantic song chino moreno has to offer

[@joeking1380]

I just seen these guys in Seattle 3/11/24 at the Moore Theatre, it blew my mind! It was the last show of the tour too. They sounded amazing, Chino's voice sound just as good live as it does on the album if not better. Option was the last song they played too, a memory I will never forget.

[@deanisrael5219]

Repeat on repeat on repeat 🔁 This song is dynamic and more than anyone else has said. Just the words express exactly what Chino is saying. Just listen….

[@shanedawson2473]

The only reason this doesn't have millions of views is because people just haven't heard it or know about it. Crosses and palms, basically anything Chino does is a hidden gem.

[@GoldenThunderAMV]

I've listened into some tracks from Crosses before, few times here and there, but for some reason I never really gave them a proper try to take the time and go through their songs. Few months ago I have stumbled upon this song from them on my recommendation. Hearing it for the first time, at the time being in a sort of vulnerable state in my life, I can't describe the intensity of emotions this song has brought out from me. Expecting a somewhat grungier track from the intro of this, then being masterfully swayed into the ever intensifying trip of powerful, sentimental and absolutely beautiful, but somehow still bitter parts of the song, this experience has put me in a state for days where all I had on my mind was "op†ion", and somehow suddenly everything felt... monochrome. It was exactly what I needed. I would say I wish I found this song earlier, but the perfect timing of me hearing it for the first time makes this song feel heavensent and really important to me. Months has passed since, but I still believe this to be my favourite song.

[@wovetloveit7093]

this song reminds me of my first love, cant stop crying but i hope i never forget her

Always count on Chino's vision to captivate listeners with lyrics and a sound that etches itself in your mind. Honestly, Deftones X Crosses, is a genre all in it's own, a sound that can't be replicated or superseded. They own that shit.
