To reiterate my interpretation of the track "Diamond Eyes", I believe the album name refers to an omniscient consciousness that watches over the Earth, and is made up of the energy of those who have experienced life and death and now have the clearest perception of existence.
Doing any research at all reveals that Chino immeasurable respect for Chi, and believes that he makes the world a better place. In "Royal," Chino posits that if Chi leaves the physical world and becomes a part of the god energy, he will be an impetus to turn things around on Earth. Chino again lyricizes from Chi's point of view. He pleads for a connection with the overseers/Diamond Eyes/god so that he may help to improve the human condition:
"Complex priestess, come down,
Contact, reach us, go wild"
Addressing the female constituent of the Diamond Eyes, Chi reveals his fervorous craving for knowledge and understanding.
"I've chased your name, I've sailed all through space, To watch this"
He has spent his life chasing nirvana and now senses that he is closer than ever to his goal.
"Come down, Teach us the ropes
Your concept, It keeps us, Provoked"
Chi is eager to learn more about what he has spent his life chasing.
"Now remove Your veil
And let me light you up
I'm on your team
Let's go"
Reveal yourself so that I may better understand you and energize your efforts to guide the Earthlings. These lines speak volumes to what Chi has apparently always meant to those around him.
"Face to face, Light stare
My custom made nightmares, Armed with teeth
In fashion
Now all we need is action"
The veil has been removed and Chi lightly stares into the Diamond Eyes. Perhaps they lightly stare back, recognizing royalty. To again reference the immeasurable respect that everyone who knew him, seemed to have for Chi, it wouldn't be a stretch to think that Chino is literally deifying his friend in this story. His specific time and place on Earth have given Chi a unique perspective on how ugly the world can be, and also on how this ugliness may be remedied. Many would say these current times are the darkest chapters of Earth's history so far, thus his "nightmares armed with teeth" are "in fashion," and are a useful tool for solving humanity's woes. Everything is in place, we have everything we need, let's do the damn thing!
[Lather, Rinse, Repeat.]
"I'm the antidote
The rocket’s taking off Tonight,
It's time"
I am the one who can make the world a better place. I will be joining the Diamond Eyes tonight.
"Take me, I'll light you up
Take me
Up"
I will leave my body behind to get this thing started.
I've read your interpretations and they're very intriguing. Surreal, and most likely spot-on. Thanks man. Diamnond Eyes is magnificent and the lyrics are out of this world. Chino and crew have their masterpiece. Unfortunately, Chi was not part of it - but he is...
