[@stacesmith3908]

My husband and I used to drive, listen to this, glance over at each other. Fell in love March 2007. This song is significant to us and we are renewing our vows with this playing. I adore this group. Deftones❣

[@digitalbath.]

Stace Smith congrats to the both of you

[@MrHulsi]

beautiful memory, keep it and repeat it.

[@vladimirerfan7721]

Awesome!

[@justadude8893]

Congrats on your beautiful love, that is a lovely story that gives us all hope! Thank you for that:D

[@philipbraverman4943]

My favorite band since 1996. "Dislocated at the joint but timing is everything in the bed." All we used to do was bump around the fur. When it came out it changed everything

[@arprooster8582]

This song reminds me of a girl i loved so much, but drugs consumed our lives and she overdosed at our home and i found her. I was destroyed and spiraled out of control and O.D. myself but they saved me and i have to live with it. It still haunts me. She was gonna be my wive and have our baby. This song helped me. get past it all. but im still haunted by it all.

[@alexwells3660]

That's heavy man. Just keep your head up n keep that mind n those feet moving.

You guys are good people.

Unfortunately thats the same story replaying over and over w minor Similarities and or sublte differences all over the world especially the small towns where theres more drugs than theres are things to do and its an epidemic destroying lives #FuckHeroin

[@jasonrutter2869]

God bless brother

This is not only one of my favorite Deftones songs, but one of my all time favorite songs! Its so powerful, I love it!

[@mattfain9929]

This song sounds different depending on my mood. It can be whatever type of song it wants. Pure ecstasy

[@kubstix]

Such an unbelievably underrated song.

[@leahbuh9270]

Deftones are sadly underated :/

[@koinoyokan8136]

how 2 year old comment its the best song on the album

[@websterdrums]

not to deftones fans ;) 3 year old comment is still at the top....

Under rated by who?

What are your other underrated favourites ?

This track is a once in a lifetime masterpiece. It brings me to tears almost everytime. Insanely symbolic and mesmerizing. Crazy i first heard it 20 years ago. Aging sucks.

dai the flu is like the sickness shared in a lovely relationship and the sickness wasn't expected from the perfect couple..

[@alexcaldwell1388]

there's a lot of people that don't like this video but I honestly love it. I love how the song is very heavy and hard and the video is soft and sweet. Definetely one of my fave Deftones songs of all time...

[@lotuslilith]

:)

[@suiciniv14]

I WAS THINKING ABOUT THAT! :') IT'S ABSOLUTELLY SWEET! :3

[@marianaoshiro9716]

Me too!

[@NefariousKoel]

The contrasting moods gives it's own message. ;-)

[@diegoortiz1012]

I know! I mean, you read the lyrics and it has a sense of missing broken relationship that once meant a lot (like the one in the video) and now that its gone, you kind of remember it with the hate Deftones put into the song. Masterpiece indeed.

[@sir-tubiasmaximus5952]

Deftones are and have been on a different wave since the start. favorite band still!

[@thomaskelley9192]

One of their greatest songs! Man i miss Chi

[@horntail51]

This is the exact image and movie guys play in their head when they go through a break up.

[@deed.3418]

Not just guys. I do it too. So what's the surprise?

[@Gnossiene369]

@@deed.3418 He can't speak for women in on this subject on any level.

[@Ruffnek310]

Deftones Devin Townsend and Type O Negative followed by godflesh, acacia strain and ministry to show you everything is shit and it does get better and oh yeah and getting back out there while the females still sense the past female experience in your life from the pharamones or hormones idk that we expel and pick up on subconsciously.

Agreed!

[@alyssakubly5212]

forever in love with this band ❤

[@aorakis5795]

9years later, I'm still in love with that lovely mysteriously mystical girl and those beautiful eyes of her ! Also, Dai the flu is probably my favorite deftones song with "be quiet and drive" and more recently "when girls tel.. Boys"

[@DeineLieblingskathy]

I absolutely love this song and I also love the video. It's so pure. I always come back here.

[@thurstonmartin9964]

Will never say I know how someone else feels...not my life it's yours & brave to even type about it. Something very similar happened with myself & am widowed now. I really have never moved on. The music helps. Essentially special to me are Deftones. Got me through a lot in life. Much like right now. Much love to you & all. Blessed but cursed. Keep going. ❤❤

[@daitheflu4459]

I always wondered what it takes. Fifteen stitches and a soft parody.

[@ученик-джибраил]

Это просто топ ,одна из любимых песен со второго альбома

[@realslayerfan9]

After many years - I have finally found that girl.

[@l3tt3r5andnumb3rsonl]

Time is definitely running out.

[@adriannieto40]

How you doing now buddy?

[@OrdnanceTV]

It is FAR too easy to get wrapped up in the positive, happy, rosy memories of an ex or newly-separated significant other. We're human so we're prone to contrast our current circumstances with the opposite memories. When things are great, we may fear the bad, and when things are bad, we mourn the good. But remember that breakups have never, ever, -EVER- happened for no reason. They always have a reason. Remember the bad, because it's the reality that gave you this current reality. It's necessary to remember the bad to successfully move on.

[@MarkDanov]

Damn bro, how the fuck did you put that into words so beautifully? Amazing. And almost on the same date that I ended my 8+ year long relationship. Still hurst sometimes, but moving on is the way to salvation.

[@torirodriguez5751]

I was just thinking about my ex and how I miss what we had. But now I know why it happened.

[@TheHilikus89]

So many criminally underrated gems Deftones put out. Deffinetly in my top 5 Deftones songs.

[@Joker3515]

I truly appreciate when people make videos to Deftones music. I've been a fan of Deftones for over half of my life, since '98 I think. Not only being my favorite band musically, I always appreciated the dedication of real Deftones fans. It was always either, someone like me with Deftones tattooed all over his arm who loved them, somebody who has heard of them but didn't have an overall opinion, or someone who has never heard of the Deftones. I have never met anyone with a hatred for the Deftones

[@regueira96]

So many years and still perfect this song

[@benoitbenyoucef8559]

Best deftones song ever for a fan from a begenning ❤❤❤

[@klojinum]

I think people have incredibly restrictive and 'literal' imaginations. If you think that footage like this doesn't fit with a song like Dai The Flu, because the music is 'heavy' or 'metal' or involves screaming or even twisted or bitter lyrics, and contrasts the video - then you're putting a massive limitation on what 'heavy' is about. 'Heavy' doesn't necessarily mean anger or darkness, it can mean absolute joy just the same. 'Heavy' is simply about intensity - the feeling could be ANYTHING. For me the video fits. Even if it is a contrast, it's a balancing act that compliments. If it were up to some of you, the video would just be sex and syringes and nothing else would be imagined. Then we would miss out on 'Dai The Flu - Old people play Bowls video edition'.

[@RikkiMMA]

klojinum the fact is people have zero respect for weak people who are too interested in enjoying "now" and will never impact the future. these people in the video fit a Marxist stereotype, people happy to exist and do nothing while the world burns around them. which, actually, is pretty metal

[@sharinglungs3226]

It doesn’t fit because of the content of the lyrics. This is no happy we are in love song here. Sure he sings “now I know that you love me” but then he contrast that with the darker line “thank god you love at all”. That’s some personal shit right there. He’s in a toxic relationship with a girl that can hate and love him at the same time leaving him confused. That second verse is so cold about avoidance and being distanced. Even the lines about going on and off, I can relate. To slap a jolly happy video on something so personal of a song of a toxic relationship seems so beyond not understanding the song it’s down right insulting.

[@marsnz1002]

this edgy turbovirgin teen has it all figured out apparently.

[@witch13itch]

Agreed.

[@mannurse06]

Thank you 💜

[@TonySchulte]

This is my all time favorite Deftones song & always will be!!!!! Love how it breaks down

[@eddiebruce4273]

i just want to be with a woman that love deftones as much as i do

[@alegrin1]

Yo se que no existen las relaciones perfectas, pero cada tanto cuando estoy triste y quisiera tener a alguien con quien compartir la vida y envejecer juntos, miro este video y me escapo un ratito de la realidad de tener un celular sin mensajes, redes sociales totalmente vacias, en fin de ser una persona totalmente solitaria. y por un momento pienso que tal vez en algun universo paralelo, encuentro a esa persona :)

[@mike-cw3ko]

Me pasa lo mismo...

[@rfaeth]

How is this song so hard to get when it's so obvious? She loves him. In turn, he falls in love with her.. She breaks his heart. "Sink your teeth, then bat your eyes".. It's all about her, no matter what he gives. "What's the surprise (he) was going off"??

[@sharinglungs3226]

It’s about a toxic relationship, the chorus gives it away when he says “now I know you love me, thank god you love at all”. That feeling of being unsure the person you’re with really loves you when it can come off as fake or being deceptive hence the “thank god you love at all”. That surprise line is more about her ditching him and then being interested again - it’s a surprise what mood she’ll be in towards him and the whole time he’ll be there waiting for her. The big giveaway line is second verse about her avoidance to him, sleeping for hours to keep away. That follow up line just reinforces when she shows interest in him again, batting the eyes.

[@abbysbbg]

this song is literally the reason im pregnant

[@torirodriguez5751]

Always said Messages in distant affairs When I over care In my heart Now make me dread Life out of order I gave my heavenly city to you U took it and re routed Said you were all about her As knives like three of swords Reached for my heart In misery and confusion Tore the family home in my city apart Sat back and cried and laughed to myself Going crazy by myself in the dark I loved you through and through More than I loved myself So without you how and what would I do As you insult my time put in As your switching lanes again Going through your own problems up in Michigan You wouldn't let me know And you wouldn't let me in Thought you wanted to be with me Evidently you couldn't see or perceive Dreams you could never receive Or believe To respect kindness and loyalty Attached to respect for my bond to you in effort Does it mean anything to you For the last 21 years waiting The last three years without even dating Lonely as hell with a half broken shell for feeling a lack of support U compare holidays where we both dwell And looks and sizes for unknown tact To attract divulge in unjustified truth repel back then expell Everything I expected Turned us two magnets in error Terror of going in the opposite way Hurt like rejection when you speak of her better than me When you compare her lifestyles origin Did you forget about break ballet and poetry Then I'll return to where my heart is In many places that I gave away Or no mind too Cuz I was covered in your hues of blues And it proceeded that way The pain I feel inside From you a poet really can't explain Imagine your favorite person attached to your perfect wish or dream And all of it went away All day no sun And it would be dark skies in what feels like forever Cuz you were only stringing me along You really never planned on us being together Hurt damn exploited my name into a change of hearts Tore me apart like a feather underneath a dart Worse part Was you never showed up or called in over twenty years Cuz you didn't want too If you wanted me still You would have shown up today But really you didn't want too You didn't want to pick me up Or fly me in to begin a family What hurts the worse You did for Mariah But you didn't for Maya I said you would if it were Rhianna You tried cheating on me with her Secret monster tour drama And calling Christi my best friend now my karma Knight in shining armour. You did for Mariah But you wouldn't for Maya And everyone tells me I love you too much and more than myself What a crazy death What a shame Living with no peaceful rest And hearing her name When you possibly marry another But you wouldn't for Maya Offer a loving vow So what do I do now.............
