You arrived!
In my dream..
Beside me every night,
You and me
We explode!
Through the scene
We try to drain the night
Empty
No one ever goes off in every way
Like you do
We got together
We weaved our web
Tangled in the waves
We *expected* to see red
We both erupt in colors
And carve out our names
You keep me aroused
I know you
Feel the same
You arrived!
In my dream
Beside me every night,
Just you and me
We explode!
Through the scene
We try to drain the night
Empty
No one else has a hold over me
Like you do
You open up the covers, you lure me in
Tackle me anxious, back into bed
Where I hope to discover all of your ways
This place is death
I know you
Feel the same
You arrived in my dream
Beside me every night, just you and me
We explode through the scene
We try to drink the night in every way
In my dream..
Beside me every night,
You and me
We explode!
Through the scene
We try to drain the night
Empty
No one ever goes off in every way
Like you do
We got together
We weaved our web
Tangled in the waves
We *expected* to see red
We both erupt in colors
And carve out our names
You keep me aroused
I know you
Feel the same
You arrived!
In my dream
Beside me every night,
Just you and me
We explode!
Through the scene
We try to drain the night
Empty
No one else has a hold over me
Like you do
You open up the covers, you lure me in
Tackle me anxious, back into bed
Where I hope to discover all of your ways
This place is death
I know you
Feel the same
You arrived in my dream
Beside me every night, just you and me
We explode through the scene
We try to drink the night in every way

"You open up the covers" kind of obvious he is referring to the layers of masks that cover our true nature.
"You lure me in" The ego does not give up easy, it has to be tricked.
On his deathbed, the king addresses his wife. The album has told us that she existed as goddess, complex priestess, DIAMOND EYES, over the Earth for a very long time before the man begged her to let him join her ranks. She let him into her ROYAL chambers, and impressed with his compassion for the Earth, made him her king and gave him CMND. He distracted her from her duties with the pleasures of Earth. She lost her purity when SHE SAW THE BUTCHER. She waived her immortality to be with him physically, and when the PRINCE and Earth destroyed the planet, she was killed. Earth ROCKET SKATED into a state of hell. The only remnant of the beautiful past was the SEXTAPE. The Prince asked his father to take a RISK by opening old wounds and making an attempt at forgiveness. If the father ever wanted to forgive the son, who had committed evil, he was available at 976-EVIL. Earth was a PLACE OF DEATH because it managed to tempt and ultimately kill the complex priestess who had ruled for so long.
The king will always love the queen “No one else has a hold over me, like you do”
Please read my posts for each track and let me know if you think I'm on to something or if I am just completely butchering a beautiful piece of artwork. I thought this was Deftones' best work musically, before I even explored the meaning of lyrics.
Deftones rock. GREATEST.O.A.TIME.! Get better Chi!
There were a few things that were shaky, but all in all, a beautiful interpretation to a beautiful album. I would hope that one day that story would become a novel.

Is "This Place is Death" particularly special to you?
Yeah, it is. Sonically, that's a Stephen song. A lot of people think when we have the ethereal stuff, it's always me, but Stephen was playing with his pedal board and he just got on to this song. Everybody just fell into place after that, and it sounded like chaos to me—but the most romantic, dirty chaos. Lyrically, I matched it a little bit. The song is like exploding out into the night and just going for it.
"You keep me aroused
I know you feel the same"
I don't think Chi in his semi-conscious state can either keep someone aroused or become aroused himself by way of Chino.
"You open up the covers
You lure me in
Tackle me anxious back into bed"
This means someone is bringing him to bed to have sex with him. It does not take a lot of insight to realize this. If you want me to bring Chi up again, I don't think in his semi-conscious state he could lure OR tackle someone into bed.
The most reasonable explanation for this song is it's about a relationship that is sexual in nature. Not about Chi. Just because Deftones have a friend who's injured doesn't mean they write every single song on their new album about him. Chill about every song being about Chi.
"After meeting the French science team, Jin reunites with the remaining Island survivors, who are experiencing trouble in coping with Charlotte's deteriorating health."
Possibly some relation to the band coping with chi's coma??
