Step into the ethereal embrace of “Infinite Source,” a soul-stirring track from Deftones’ critically acclaimed tenth album, Private Music (released on August 22, 2025). Known for their genre-defying blend of alt-metal, shoegaze, and nu-metal, Deftones deliver a meditative masterpiece here, echoing the introspective beauty of White Pony’s “Change (In the House of Flies)” and Ohms’ “Ceremony.” With Chino Moreno’s haunting vocals soaring over Stephen Carpenter’s intricate guitar work, “Infinite Source” weaves a tapestry of nostalgia, love, and closure with lyrics like “Last time adorning the stage / A final wave and bow.”
As part of Private Music’s polished, emotional journey—praised as a career high by Forbes and Kerrang!—this track stands out as a reflective breather amidst heavier hits like “My Mind Is a Mountain” and “Milk of the Madonna.” Recorded with producer Nick Raskulinecz in Malibu and Joshua Tree, it captures Deftones’ late-career renaissance, blending raw emotion with atmospheric depth. Dive into the Infinite Source lyrics below, uncover the song’s heartfelt layers, and explore why Private Music is being hailed as one of Deftones’ greatest works.

Lyrics of Infinite Source by Deftones
[Verse 1]
Just Say You’re Down (Down)
And Pull Me Close, Hold On To Me
Face The Crowd (Crowd)
Take Hold Of Me, Hold Me Tight (Hold Me Tight)
[Chorus]
Last Time Adorning The Stage
A Final Wave And Bow
[Verse 2]
Raise Your Glass High
Here’s For The Years, A Thousand Dreams (Dreams)
Face The Crowd (Crowd)
Keep Holding Me Close And Tight (Close And Tight)
[Chorus]
Last Time Adorning The Stage
With Love We’ve Chased And Found
The Last Ride We’re Gonna Take
Our Final Wave And Bow
[Verse 3]
All Of Those Nights, All Of Our Dreams, All Of These Years
All Of These Times, All Of Our Dreams, All Of Your Cheers
I’m Releasing, We Are Afloat
Keep Ahold Of Me Here As Long As You Can
[Bridge]
All Of Our Dreams
All Of These Years
[Chorus]
Last Time Adorning The Stage
A Love We Chased And Found
The Last Ride We’re Gonna Take
A Final Wave And Bow
Last Time Adorning The Stage
This Love We Chased Was Found
Last Ride We’ll Ever Take
Our Final Wave And Bow
