Diamond Eyes Lyrics

This entire album is a masterpiece.

I never like to think of what the song means to the artist personally because that is their own influence for putting the piece together. Chino has stated on several occasions that his songs are open to interpretation, much like Maynard's work with Tool. Chino has also specified that this entire album was not written from his perspective but from another. Which begs me to question if this was really written about how he feels about Chi being in comatose and instead being written from Chi's perspective.

I think it deals with two separate entities still feeling each others presence and influence despite being in two different places (mentally, physically, spiritually) and how even though that bridge makes a divide of some kind, it can not last forever because the two separate entities are not destined to be apart.

As lame as it sounds, in short, I believe it is about a persons Soul Mate having direct effect without knowing it and how it will one day bring them together.

@MrDillinger I think this is perfectly interpreted, really. I think love or that attraction people get to be in another persons life is a law of life. It has it's own gravitational pull. No matter this life the next manifestation of life or the one before.
