The tenth track of Deftones' dark, gloomy, angry, and heavy self-titled album, takes an abrupt left turn with this track. It sounds beautiful and alluring, but it presents a depressing story.

The beginning of the song takes place immediately after Chino finally ends his relationship with a girl. This girl is delusional, and thinks she is always correct. She sees herself as a queen. Her mere presence and personality was becoming extremely toxic over time towards Chino’s life and emotions, so he finally cut her out before he was drug down too far.

From Chino’s point of view, he symbolically shares his recent experiences and thoughts with/about her. The chorus is the wave of effects she had on his life, that didn’t get in his head until after she was gone, and we see the girl’s own point of view during the second verse. The emotional destruction that she left behind may becoming too immense for Chino, and may continue to spread her carbon footprint to other men in the future.

While they were dating, maybe even for a few years, the first day they met was always their anniversary. Now that they fought and broke up, when that day comes, it is now an anniversary…of an uninteresting event. They may have met and had a magical short while together when times were good, but it didn’t amount to anything. It was uninteresting at the end of the day, to say the least.
