About This Track
'ecdysis' by Deftones is a 2025 hard rock track from the album 'private music'. The lyrics cast a fraught scene of waiting, vulnerability, and survival, with imagery of cutting through vast spaces, a spreading plague, and shaking bones. From there, the words turn more frantic and elemental, as rivers rise and swollen streams divide, while a descent through something ablaze plays out like an atmosphere tightening around the speaker. The overall mood is alarmed and urgent, framed as quiet endurance sliding into total escalation, summed up by the line about “constant rivers rising”.
"ecdysis" is a track by Deftones, from the album private music, released 20th August 2025. The track is 3:29 long. It's filed under Hard Rock. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 14 articles about Deftones.

There's a lead single 'Sun Has Set' streaming now, and a big tour coming this Autumn.
"I’ve been saving myself just for you," Chino Moreno tells the crowd, just a day after Deftones pulled out of their Glastonbury slot due to illness. Whether that’s sincere or not, it hardly matters. By the time they hit the stage at Crystal Palace Park on Sunday night, Deftones are in peak form.
One of the biggest and most enduring bands in rock, Deftones are still as vital as ever.
