How nature became Arlo Parks’ steadying force between ‘Collapsed in Sunbeams’ and ‘My Soft Machine’
Between breakthrough success, touring and a move to Los Angeles, Arlo Parks found continuity in parks, forests and the discipline of slowing down.

About This Track
'Headless' by Deftones is a 2020 hard rock track from the album 'Ohms'. The lyrics dwell on being “a mess”, moving against the grain, and the unnerving sense of living that spreads to others. There is a push and pull between showing off personal intensity and admitting forgetfulness, alongside claims of insanity and an urge to get inside someone else’s mind. The vocal angle feels confessional and slightly conspiratorial, with the speaker addressing another person’s curiosity and doubt. The overall impression is one of volatile self-knowledge, where fascination and breakdown sit side by side.
"Headless" is a track by Deftones, from the album Ohms, released 24th September 2020. The track is 4:59 long. It's filed under Hard Rock. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 14 articles about Deftones.

Between breakthrough success, touring and a move to Los Angeles, Arlo Parks found continuity in parks, forests and the discipline of slowing down.

Arlo Parks adopted a distinctive professional pseudonym inspired by King Krule and Frank Ocean, though the precise origins of “Arlo” and “Parks” have not been reliably established.

A Radio 1 play brought early attention to Black Peaks, but their 2016 debut ‘Statues’ was built to hold far more than one breakout song.

Black Peaks’ second album joined Brexit-era disconnection to the exhaustion of a band that had spent years moving without much chance to stop.

From Cyndi Lauper and Madonna to Deftones, the Cars, Ramones and Shangri-Las, Derek Miller and Alexis Krauss have described influences as practical writing tools rather than a checklist of sounds to borrow.

A newcomer’s route through Deftones’ ten studio records, from the urgency of ‘Adrenaline’ to the expansive ‘Private Music’.
