whitewriterI'm really loving the White pony album of Deftones (1995)
Especially the song "Change".
I find the lyrics reflect what we do at work in the midwifery unit (kid you not).
It's like I'm the midwife there -- and i'm running the IOL -- and who presses the button every 30 mins (as per protocol) because I've judged their contractions "aren't good enough" or aren't "strong enough" to cause changes in the cervix-- you get talking to the woman at the start of the process and she's a fully normal person -- and by the end of your shift you've turned her into a shriveling, tired and pained mess - begging for an epidural - for anything really - turned into someone whom she probably never expected she would turn into - (like in the song, a fly) and sometimes the midwives roll their eyes and laugh at their carrying on (which it may not be, or could be - hard to say since we can't feel what they feel) - but imagine someone who was a sadist, running an IOL. I could see how they enjoy it (I on the other hand, feel so absolutely horrible doing the procedure, I now float into the sea of paperwork as a relief - as much as I bitch about it-). Like we are pulling off their wings: and then it's hard for us to remember what it's like at the start of the process (until it's all over really).
I'm sure this is not what Chino intended the song to reflect ... but it's what I think about it when I play it over and over again because it has such a beautifully chilling sound...
I love nu metal more than all other metal genre's.
I watched you change
Into a fly
I looked away
You were on fire
I watched a change in you
It's like you never had wings
Now, you feel so alive
I've watched you change
I took you home
Set you on the glass
I pulled off your wings
Then I laughed
I watched a change in you
It's like you never had wings
Now, you feel so alive
I've watched you change
It's like you never had wings
Aah, aah, aah, aah
Aah, aah, aah, aah
Aah, aah
I look at the cross
Then I look away
Give you the gun
Blow me away
I watched a change in you
It's like you never had wings
Now, you feel so alive
I've watched you change
Now, you feel alive
You feel alive
You feel alive
I've watched you change
It's like you never had wings
Aah, aah, aah, aah
Aah, aah, aah, aah
Aah, aah
You've changed
You've changed
You've changed
