This is the opening track to Deftones‘ sixth album Diamond Eyes. Diamond Eyes being the first album to be recorded without their former bassist, Chino probably wanted to make his old friend a tribute.
Although there is no clear proof that this song is about their former bassist Chi Cheng, there are...
[Verse 1]
To the edge, till we all get off
I will take you away
With me, once and for all
[Chorus]
Time will see us realign
Diamonds rain across the sky
Shower me into the same realm
[Verse 2]
Calculate our embrace, hold on
Come with me now
Run away, outer space
With me, once and for all
[Chorus]
Time will see us realign
Diamonds rain across the sky
Shower me into the same realm
Time will see us realign
Diamonds rain across the sky
I will lead us to the same realm
[Interlude]
Get! Set!
[Break]
When the coffin shakes
And the needle breaks
[Verse 3]
Come, run away with me
Come on, you'll see
Once and for all
[Chorus]
Time will see us realign
Diamonds rain across the sky
Shower me into the same realm
Time will lead us to the same realm
I will lead us to the same realm
