Deftones - Bored

So the main things I think are cool about this song are the guitar riff in the verse and the overall vocal performance. The guitar riff is a really simple alternate picked pedal chug on chromatic powerchords, but the way it repeats throughout the whole verse makes it sound really insistent. The chorus contrasts that with some big held chords. The vocals start out with this sort of breathy, almost lethargic sort of quality to them, but each chorus escalates in intensity until vocalist Chino Moreno is belting out some very vital sounding harsh screams. It's quite satisfying.

[Intro]
Hear me spit on you
Wither I remold into gold
And bury I from sun

[Verse 1]
Reborn, left to sigh
Recure, maybe I'll
Be born and simplify
The way I lie, before

[Chorus 1]
I get bored
I get bored
I get bored
I'm bored

[Verse 2]
Repent by you
And trust to figure out
I burn that gift to you, doll
And let it shine before

[Chorus 2]
I get bored
I get bored
I get bored
A wish for a real one

[Verse 3]
Pissed and confined
Before me, or I
And we come clean, it gets worse
It's more

[Chorus 2]
I get bored
I get bored
I get bored
A wish for a real one
I get bored!
I get bored!
I get bored!
A wish for a real one
