"Beware" as written by and Chino/carpenter Moreno....
You should know (by now) really
That this could end, really
You should know I could never make it work
Wake up
Let's pretend, really
Really
Babe
Do you like the way the water tastes
Like gunfire
And you knew but you could never say
Then come forth 'cause it's coming round
Round the water
Beware the water
You should know
Babe
At least pretend you did know why
It's not like you watch so go on take a drink
Really
Babe
Do you like the way the water tastes
Like gunfire
You knew but it was never safe
Take one more 'cause it's coming round
Round the water
Beware the water
Beware the water
Teeth are dry
From wind blows
If you come drinking
There you go
Beware the water
Beware the water
Beware the water
Do you like the way the water tastes
Do you like the way the water tastes?
That this could end, really
You should know I could never make it work
Wake up
Let's pretend, really
Really
Babe
Do you like the way the water tastes
Like gunfire
And you knew but you could never say
Then come forth 'cause it's coming round
Round the water
Beware the water
You should know
Babe
At least pretend you did know why
It's not like you watch so go on take a drink
Really
Babe
Do you like the way the water tastes
Like gunfire
You knew but it was never safe
Take one more 'cause it's coming round
Round the water
Beware the water
Beware the water
Teeth are dry
From wind blows
If you come drinking
There you go
Beware the water
Beware the water
Beware the water
Do you like the way the water tastes
Do you like the way the water tastes?

You should know (by now) really
That this could end, really
(That chino will stop loving her,and put revenge on her for what she did to him.)
You should know I could never make it work
(Because she cheated on him,or mislead him.)
Wake up
Let's pretend, really
Really
Babe
(" wake up " As in,wake up from the dream. She's cheating on him,and she thinks he doesn't realize it. As for pretend,pretend she still loves chino.)
Do you like the way the water tastes
(He's slowly drowning her,and asking her; " Do you like the way the water tastes? " So she can taste the pain she lead in chino.)
Like gunfire
And you knew but you could never say
(Gunfire;as in it's dangerous. He can kill her. You could never say;as in she can't have her last words because he keeps drowning her.)
Then come forth 'cause it's coming round
Round the water
(She will have to watch out;because he may Kill her if she disobeys.)

(Did know why;she lied. About loving him)
It's not like you watch so go on take a drink
Really
Babe
(It's not like she's watched what would happen,as In she thought she'd never get caught. " Go on take a drink " References to, " Keep cheating,I'll still catch you. ")
Do you like the way the water tastes
Like gunfire
You knew but it was never safe
Take one more 'cause it's coming round
Round the water
Beware the water
Beware the water
Teeth are dry
From wind blows
(Her teeth are dry;from the lies she put in chino.)
If you come drinking
There you go
(If she keeps lying,he'll keep drowning her.)
Beware the water
Beware the water
Beware the water
Do you like the way the water tastes

(" Do you like the way the water tastes? " In a psychotic tone,he's probably finishing his job.)
So basically,this is what I think about the song.
My pure POV.
I'm not sure why though...
digital bath wasnt for psycho love it was about a dream chino had
"This was a turning point on the record. I had just got back from doing Team Sleep, we stopped working with Bob Ezrin and went back to Sacramento to write. This was the first song we wrote together. The lyrics are a warning against the temptation of women, drugs, alcohol or any other vice. It's quite dark."
On this song have been amazing. They are so spot on. The idea of the song having a murderous theme seems plausible. This song definetely is about a girl. It may deal with the female cheating on the male figure in the story, or it may be about a past experience of a relationship chino tells us.
Either way, a great song wooh! The lyrics are simple yet superbly deep, as alotta deftones songs are, plus that guitar breakdown at the end is fucking amazing. Best song on the album. Hole in the earth is good too
It's found the repeat button fo sho.
I think it's just about getting drunk to forget.
