I like you when
When you take off your face
Put away all your teeth
And take us way underneath
'Cause you could die if you take it alone
I watch you taste it
I see your face
And I know I'm alive
You're shooting stars
From the barrel of your eyes
It drives me crazy
Just drives me wild
I kinda like you when
When you make up the real
Take the phone in your room
Stop the tape or resume
Well, you could try if you think it will load
I watch you taste it
I see your face
And I know I'm alive
You're shooting stars
From the barrel of your eyes
It drives me crazy
It drives me wild
Every time
Every time you try
Why
It's a beautiful ride
Why
It's a beautiful ride, ride
I watch you taste it
I see your face
And I know I'm alive
You're shooting stars
From the barrel of your eyes
It drives me crazy
Just drives me wild
About This Song
"Beauty School" is a haunting exploration of intimacy and vulnerability that showcases Deftones' signature blend of heavy, atmospheric soundscapes with ethereal melodies. The lyrics delve into themes of authentic connection and the removal of social masks, suggesting a desire to connect with someone's true self beneath superficial appearances. Musically, the track exemplifies the band's post-metal approach with layered guitars creating both crushing weight and dreamlike textures, while Chino Moreno's vocals shift between whispered vulnerability and soaring intensity. The song captures the intoxicating and potentially dangerous nature of deep emotional intimacy, with imagery that suggests both beauty and risk in truly knowing another person. It stands as a prime example of Deftones' ability to transform heavy music into something transcendent and emotionally complex, contributing to Diamond Eyes' reputation as one of their most cohesive and powerful albums.
