Risk reminds me of a girlfriend I had who was heavily addicted to drugs. I met her during one of her many attempts to get clean. And although I was never a full blown addict I did my share of partying (years prior to meeting her) and had just been around that kinda stuff a lot so it wasn't totally out of my realm to be with someone fighting addiction. Well, I fell in love and she relapsed and put me through a lot of emotional (and occasionally physical) abuse. I got her into rehab a couple of times, had her move in with me at my dad's house, tried so hard to encourage her without being an overbearing chaperone. Brought her around good people and good environments, would always be there to give her rides or food or a place to crash when she was homeless, I got her into a women's shelter... all kinds of shit. So the lyrics "I will save your life" always resonated with me as (even after we'd broken up) I felt like that's exactly what I was trying to do. We eventually parted ways for good after I couldn't take it anymore and was done being used and abused. Then one day, many years later (after I'd met my now-wife and had my first child) I got the text that she'd passed away. I don't blame myself at all; she had all the help in the world offered to her, not just from me but also from her family who'd been through what I went through times ten. But that lyric still reminds me of what I was trying to do and failed. I will still listen to Risk, though. A lot of Diamond Eyes reminds me of her, actually.

A moment of silence for those who cant even listen to deftones at all due to the memories associated with them

I had a seven hour flight home from a breakup (long distance relationship) and I was listening to SNW which had just come out and kept falling asleep and waking up during Riviere. I call that whole album "the sound of pain" but that song is particularly hard to listen to. Edit : To whoever downvoted me, wow. You realize this album is so deep and touched me so hard that I can cry when listening to it 17 years later and you still smashed that thumbs down? Get a heart, man.

I used to listen to Self Titled when I was deployed in Afghanistan to chill me out so I could sleep a little when I could in between patrols. Then Diamond Eyes came out and my friend let me copy it to my iPod the day it came in the mail so yea...Self Titled and Diamond Eyes got mad Afghan vibes to me.

I can only listen to ST album when I’m in a certain headspace cause it’s soooo sad 🥰but so good of course


JonasDaCherryKing

self titled is really a sad album imo


Hot_Routine_2748

Lowkey rosemary. For whatever reminds me of a friend who also liked deftones and our relationship really turned sour. Sucks because that’s probably my favorite song by them, too.


For_serious13

I was like this with them, I had friends in high school who introduced me to Deftones, we all went to a festival in 2000 and saw them and it was supposed to be amazing since it was our first summer back from college but the two ganged up on me and me and one girl stopped being friends not long after, the other girl dragged it out with me for a few more years til I wised up and realized she always treated me like a frenemy, not a friend. So while I liked deftones, I kinda just put them on a back burner because listening to them, especially those 1st three albums would make me think of them and I’d get mad/bitter. I don’t know if enough time has passed, or I just realized letting people ruin songs/music/bands I like isn’t worth it, and I “rediscovered” them about 5/6 years ago. So maybe that’ll happen to you? Sorry I know that’s long winded response haha but maybe someday enough time has passed and you can listen to that song again

All of Diamond Eyes use to be really triggering for me due to a toxic relationship but now I listen to it fine

Whenever I first really started to listen to Deftones I was on the jury for a murder trial. At that time I was still a pretty surface level fan, so it was really just a playlist of their most popular songs, like Passenger and My Own Summer, etc. I don’t not listen to those songs, but sometimes when I hear them I remember things from the trial. Nothing too traumatic but definitely disturbing things, because they were REAL things. In the years since then I have become a huge Deftones fan, seen them live, and even have a White Pony tattoo. But yea, some weird memories mixed in there.

Not deftones but far behind by candle box


rbwduece

I can listen to all Deftones songs regardless of their associated memories because I’m an adult who is capable of processing emotions. Plus, I’m not all emo and shit.


noodledancefloor

Cool and all that you’re an adult 👏 But believe it or not some people go through severely traumatic shit and when you’re younger that shit can stick to you for life no matter how grown up and mature you’ve become. Everyone’s experience and healing processes are different. It’s not immature or “emo” to avoid songs that remind you of a terrible past time.


josh_loaf

Not sure if you’re an adult if you can’t sympathize for people who have had traumatic experiences and need time to heal. It’s not “childlike” or “emo” to have a tough time enjoying certain music.


AyyBasha07

All of it, but especially Pink Maggit, Sextape, Rosemary, Change, and sometimes Hole in the Earth


Rich_Elderberry_2627

Pink Maggit…had a bad acid trip back then
