Passenger band songs7/18/2023 ![]() ![]() They used to play it all the time at the strip club next to where I worked. This song is almost a guilty pleasure for me. Regardless, I wish that Maynard and the Deftones would collaborate more often. You've taken the passenger seat in somebody else's car- in your own even- and now the driver can literally do whatever they want with you. You have become a passenger, not only in the physical sense, but in that you are no longer driving behind your own actions. In spite of having sex in a car, the song is more about the thrill of letting go, letting somebody else take the wheel, and putting your very life in the hands of another. I think it's less about what's actually happening and more about the meaning behind the actions. ![]() Robbie from Berthoud, CoI think that forgoing all of the physical aspects of the song (sex, drugs, whatever it may actually be) the song has a much deeper meaning than any of it.And maybe riding him - faster/harder or enjoying your car and it’s horsepower. Oceanwaves from Salinas It’s about sex.Have you people never heard of riding the white pony? White pony is a clear reference to cocaine. However, to say that the deftones have no drug reference is absurd. Ian Mcclain from PittsburghI agree this song has nothing to do with drugs.they caught the murderer who was her boyfriend and and he strangled her at home.this song is eerie now. NoA friend of mine who was a stripper.was murdered.the night before she was killed she posted this song to her Facebook page.Ispk4thetreesSome of y’all have never smoked cocaine in a motor vehicle and it shows….cocaine …… here I stand 28 and the magnitude of this drug and how it has entered my life yet again… love, cocaine and self hatred… self destruction enters … stage left field… the high… the itch … the closest to addiction I ever fell… and when you fall you fly! ( I was 12) as the progression of my experimentation I stand 23 never touch anything hard…. After loosing my father to addiction I swore I’d never touch a single drop of alcohol. Your Freindly Neighborhood Spider ManIt can be whatever you want it to be about! I’ve been listening to Deftones for years and have heard this song soooo many times… and not once did it resonate with me on the level it does today after I had experienced life on a level I never thought I would.Maybe420About a kidnapped victim in their captures car.But s-t reading th e sex explanation I’m like maybe i read too much into it lol That murders him or at the least pushes the driver to speed and drive reckless causing an accident where they’re ejected from the vehicle. Timmah from PaIt’s funny I hear it and I think of this scenario where it’s a taxi driver with a passenger that’s making him uneasy.I love this song so much its driving me crazy Caca from Floridatbh ive always wanted to have sex in a car.Yeah, it came out pretty good, so we decided to put it on the record." And then I went in and did my vocals over it, and it just seemed that our voices blended together pretty good. He wants everything set perfectly, which is the complete opposite to the way that I write, so it was cool. Once he came in, I gave him sort of what I wanted the song to be about, and he wrote a couple of ideas down, and the next day he came in with all the lyrics written all out with blank spaces where my lyrics were supposed to be. So I called him and asked him if he wanted to come down and sing on the record, and he had no problem with it. Then, probably two months later, we went in to record the album, and I went in to record the vocals on it, and I just kept hearing his voice, this re-occurring melody with his voice coming over it. All of a sudden our band sounded like Tool it was just crazy. He came in and we started working on this one song in particular, and he just grabbed the microphone and started singing along to it, and my jaw just dropped. It was good to have someone else who has different ways of writing songs, 'cause everyone has a different way of doing it. I've been to their rehearsal space, and there's this big chart that just looks like calculus-the way they write songs, it's just crazy. I don't know if you're a big fan of Tool's music, but they're really mathematical. He was just working on the arrangements, riff structures, time signatures, and things like that. Honestly, when he first started working with us, he wasn't supposed to sing with us. ![]() But being a fan of Tool and A Perfect Circle, once Maynard was involved, it was just a magical thing for us. We didn't plan on having any guest on the record. Lead singer Chino Moreno (on Maynard's appearance): "Having Maynard perform on the record wasn't something that we planned on doing. ![]()
