THIS SONG brings me memories of my long distance trips with my late wife, when we traveled for days and days,so close together that i had to change the bucket seats of my ´68 dodge dart for a bench, so we could be in touch all the time... whenever i go out in that same car,i still feel her presence inside the car, as if she drops by to make me feel better, so i never forget her... it´s so strange, that sometimes i even smell her perfume and feel her warmth on my shoulder, and hear her voice saying "don´t be so shy, floor it, daaaaamn it..."... miss her so much, but ,at least ,her memories will never fade in my mind,SHE IS STILL MY PASSENGER...thanks for posting this masterpiece, man...
+EKO EKO AZARAK Memories, especially strong ones with emotional tidings are so powerful that they can result in actual activity in the brain responding to it. Its amazing, just like how dreams seem real but while conscious.
Just got my car, had this beautiful girl from the other high school in my car, parked at an overlook of the city and this song came on and I made my move right before the second chorus. Lost my v card. Thank you Deftones
MJK is absolutely awsome in anything we does and makes one of my all time favorite bands even better.but everyone w knows tool is the greatest band since 1194 how many.bands that came on the seen back ther are still togwther
This song is about ceding control. As in saying " he was in the drivers seat and I had no say in the matter" Sometimes with a drug or a certain relationship one may enjoy the feeling of comfort in having no responsibility. The lack of control in being a passenger. a willing prisoner.
@@andreawithgod ''Drop these down and put them on me nice cool seats There to cushion your knees'' Idk what you are doing with your knees on the seat, but I have never seen someone kneel on their seat in non-sex driving conditions...
@@jdisdetermined dude no joke, I met my newest love interest a few days ago and I'm obsessed with his musical taste and talent!! If you let it be known that you're a rockstar, someone will notice and love you for it 🥰
Best song for restless nights, when I have the urge to get out of house, but no place to drive to... Reminds about the void in my passengers seat and bittersweet times of love... And so I travel the night... seeking for passenger in my thoughts
Hands down my fav song of all time!!!!!!!!!! My husband was in the same battalion as Maynard James Keenen in the US ARMY! Maynard if you ever read this Sgt Major James Elliott says HELLO!!!!!!!
I'm only just now starting to actually listen to deftones cuz i never really heard any of their songs before now, and the fact that Maynard James Keenan is in this leads me to believe ill soon love this band
This song takes me back to 2001; the night I went on strike at my job (Campbell soup East TX). I was in a very dark place, and as I drove off into the night I pop in this CD, this song was playing, I abandon everything to go to west TX. Where I had friends in the west TX. Drug trade; where from there I went on year and half drug binge, late nights, blue lights, some fights. When I came up for a breath of air, i just wondered how i got here...
Reminds me of my second girl Lorraine from Sauk Village and my first car 1983 Cadillac El Dorado, who's interior she became very familiar with and I with hers!!! Lovely memories. Lorraine if you are out there, hi babygirl!
From my point of view this song is about a dead body carried by its murder in his car. By the time he found a good place to drop it the song ends. What i like about deftones is that their songs are really flexible in matters of meaning and anyone can perceive them on their own way.
Here I lay Still and breathless Just like always Still, I want some more Mirrors sideways Who cares what's behind? Just like always Still your passenger The chrome buttons buckle and leather surfaces These and other lucky witnesses Now to calm me This time won't you please Drive faster Roll the windows down this Cool night air is curious Let the whole world look in Who cares who sees anything? I'm your passenger I'm your passenger Drop these down Then put them on me Nice cool seats There to cushion your knees Now to calm me Take me around again Don't pull over This time won't you please Drive faster Roll the windows down this Cool night…
Deftones #1 Fan ...wow I've listened to this song millions of times and I don't get that it's about sex in a car....so chino and Maynard are getting it on in a car ...... yuck
pretty sure its not about babies or sex but about tripping on drugs haha. Not only is that a common subject in maynard's songs. It also fits. He is the passenger on the trip. "chrome buttons" refers to blood common after needle injections. whereas his constant craving to drive faster, to not stop back home and keep the trip going is about the addiction to the feeling.
I'm commenting about both Passenger and Be Quiet And Drive are about driving. And so is their cover of The Chauffeur. I mean, they're about sex, but use driving and cars as metaphors. I think that's amazing, since driving can give you a feeling of immense freedom, and Deftones captures that perfectly. Their music video for Romantic Dreams also does that, but with a skateboard. I may be reading into that, but that's how it makes me feel.
Falling so hard, this is where we were. Sweat and palpatation. We touched more than flesh, more than hearts, more than souls. We were an event horizon, the cosmos bent, bowed, kneeled and prostrated before our resonance, time and space parted, the fundamental forces and fields were null wherever we stood together. Damn this planet. I no longer give half a hot, drippy dog shit about this worthless rock. Now there is only a gap.
@@Sean-wj1wu no im not kidding look into it . He is the featured artist in the song. Inless you are being sarcastic in your original comment then my bad lol.
