Deftones - Headup
Got back out, back off the forefront
I never said, or got to say bye to my boy, but
Its often I try
I think about how I'd be screaming
And the times would be bumping
All our minds would be flowing
Taking care of shit like, hey holmes what you needing
As lifes coming off whack it will open your eyes
As I proceed to get loose
You seem to have some doubt
I feel you next to me fiending getting spacey
With the common love of music
Think of this as the sun and the mind as a tool
But we could bounce back from this one with attitude will and some spirit
With attitude will and your spirit we'll shove it aside
Soulfly
Fly high
Soulfly
Fly free
Shut your shit, please say what you will.
I can't think. Sidestep around
I'm bound to the freestyle.
Push down to the ground.
With a nova dash but they watch you.
Now climb up, super slide,
The spirits so low it's coming over you!!!
Soulfly
Fly high
Soulfly
Fly free
When you walk in to this world
Walk in to this world, with your head up high [x4]
Headup, Headup, Headup, Headup, Headup
“Headup” is the ninth track on Deftones' sophomore LP "Around the Fur". It features Max Cavalera of Soulfly on additional vocals. It was written by Max and Chino Moreno as a form of venting their pain over the loss of Max’s step-son, Dana Wells (aka D-Low), who was killed in a tragic car crash in 1996. He was also a close friend of Chino’s. "The Deftones had a super tight relationship with Dana. They had a magical thread weaving them together for their love of music." - Gloria Cavalera (Max’s wife & Dana’s mom) The bridge features lyrics written by D-Low: "When they called and asked Max to come to Seattle and collaborate on a track in Dana’s memory, it lifted Max and me out of the Valley of Despair. It gave us a spark of Life back…We both flew to Seattle and hooked up with the guys and met Terry Date, who was producing Around The Fur. It was exciting to be with The Deftones. Everyone had so much positive energy. Being involved in a creation from the ground floor was like being an architect constructing his masterpiece. It wasn’t long before they were all digging on some music Max had brought with him. I pulled a surprise out also. I grabbed some lyrics I had found at home that Dana had written. They were written across a flier and said “WALKING THROUGH THIS WORLD YOU HAVE TO HOLD YOUR HEAD UP HIGH”." - Gloria Cavalera (Max’s wife and Dana’s mother) Max Cavalera and Chino collaborated again on Soulfly’s’s second album Primitive, on a similarly themed song: “Pain”.
