This entire album tells one continuing story. Please see my posts on previous tracks and let me know if you think I'm at all accurate.
By the time we reach track 5, “Beauty School,” the queen has fallen completely in love with her king. She is becoming more comfortable with their visits to the physical realm, where they must shed their godly status.
“I like you when, when you take off your face
You put away all your teeth
And take us way underneath”
It is becoming more apparent that the king is very powerful. Though he doesn’t always elect to use his power to its potential (see “CMND/CTRL”) he possesses powerful tools (see “teeth” explained in my interpretation of the song “Royal.” But the queen is becoming less focuses on his godly powers, as she realizes the beauty of his mortal/human side. She likes it when they leave their heavenly state and visit the lower world of the humans, where they may explore their physical relationship (“I like…when you…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
And it drives me crazy, just drives me wild”
The queen realizes what perhaps the king has known all along: their partnership is essential to saving the world. (This makes a lot more sense if you have read my previous posts.) Analogous to the story of Christ, the god must visit (“taste”) the physical world he wishes to save. But the Earth is poison and could kill God’s physical manifestation if he goes alone. When the queen sees the king recoil from the poison Earth, it is an indication of the mortality the pair chose to embrace (in “You’ve Seen the Butcher”) thus she knows she’s alive. It has been established (in “Diamond Eyes”) that the gods direct the Earthlings through manifestations of stars or rain. She watches the king work as he shoots stars from his eyes.
“I kinda like you when, when you make up the reel
You take the phone in your room, stop the tape or resume
Well you could try if you think it will load”
She still does not fully understand the king’s methods. His room (which she slowly enters in “Butcher”) is a secretive place where he does his work. She is learning more about what it means to be mortal/human and she is enamored by his enlightenment on the subject. It is later revealed (in 976-EVIL) that the protagonist (who is possibly based on Chi) uses his phone to dial Earth.
“It’s a beautiful ride”
She refers to the bittersweet journey from heaven to Earth.
I've read most of your posts, they make a lot of sense if you're looking at the perspective of a person on a drug known as DMT. You're ideas are brilliant and can be backed up by the fact that chino said that this album was supposed to give a feeling of fantasy rather than the usual lyrics he writes ( which are always about problems in ones life). Now the reason I say that DMT may have been involved in the production of this album is backed up by your idea that this collective conciousness is what gonverns our...

Now the reason I say that DMT may have been involved in the production of this album is backed up by your idea that this collective conciousness is what gonverns our world. If you haven't already, research the effects of the drug, listen to some experiences from users of the substances ( some even being Joe Rogan and Jim carrey oh and Alex gray). Most of the stories will lead to the same end, that every trip has led them to see other worldly beings, and of course, a white owl (on the cover of diamond eyes and in the music video).
In all, good job in coming up with a meaning that brought the perspective of someone in a different consciousness, beautiful indeed :D

your interpretation makes me feel full.

@TomIn703 Or LSD, I would think, I've never experienced DMT myself. but LSD definitely takes you there. Ladder to enlightenment, rather,
