About Mein

"Mein" (German for either "mine" or "my") is the second single from the American alternative metal band Deftones' fifth album, Saturday Night Wrist, and their 11th single overall. The song featured Serj Tankian of System of a Down on vocals. The single was released on March 13, 2007. The song garnered little radio play and subsequently failed to chart well on American rock charts, peaking at No. 40 on the US Mainstream Rock Tracks chart. An NME review derided the track as "boring". In a later interview on Reddit, Tankian was asked how the collaboration had come about, replying: "Chino asked and I obliged :) We´ve all been friends and toured together for many years"

I've looked outside
But I've never wandered out

I'd like to pull you into me
Intercept you, in between
But I will never walk without, outside

That way
Outta the way
Stay away from you

I've looked inside
But I never wandered in

I'd like to pull you into me
Intercept you in between
But I will never wander in
Inside

That way
Outta the way
Stay away from you

Outta my way
Stay away from you
You, you, you
