Time magazine once praised Chino for being one of the most abstract and intelligent song writers in recent times. It's not difficult to see why.
I believe this song deals with a person taking off the public mask they wear in public and revealing who they really are to you. Letting their guard down, letting you in to see who they really are.
I also think the song elaborates on how it is never easy to do this and goes into even though there is great danger in it. In saying that, it means a great deal when somebody shows their true self, if only for a short amount of time. It solidifies a connection between two entities but presents great vulnerability.
The section of this song that I believe is the most cryptic is:
"I kinda like you when, when you make up them real
Take the phone in your room, stop the tape I'll resume
Well you could try if you think it will load"
My personal opinion of this is; when are person does let their guard down, it has a habit of coming back up again in fear. If the receptive soul is able, with little influence, they can get another person to let them in regardless of the door that stands between the two.
Behind that door, with that guard down, when they are at their most vulnerable state...lies true beauty.
Verse 1- Chino like this girl best when she is real, doesn't put on an act or play games. He like it when she takes him "Beneath" the surface where she feels vulnerable. True self!

Chorus- He sees this girl get a taste of real attraction or love and the way she looks at him makes Chino believe there is really something there. It makes him feel alive when she looks at him with the "stars in her eyes". It drives him wild.

Verse 2- I agree with with Mrdillinger for the most part. The girl that Chino desires will go back and forth from her 2 personalities... the surface and the real. Chino sees her change into the surface girl where she texts and is a part of this network that doesn't involve him. "Stop the tape, I'll reload".... Her attention is divided, but she'll be back as long as you're here.
Chino can only handle so much "Well, you can try if you think it will load"
"While it's a beautiful ride, ride" - Get it while it's good. Love while you can love, cause it could be gone any minute. Enjoy the moment that we have. I enjoy this concept so much
This is how I interpret it. It's hard to put into words, but he did it in a way that make me think this way. I fucking love the Deftones!
