Diamond Eyes

"Diamond Eyes" is a single by the American rock band Deftones. It is the second single and title track released from Deftones' forthcoming album Diamond Eyes, and their thirteenth single overall. On March 3, 2010, Deftones posted the track listing for Diamond Eyes via their official website, and also announced that the next single, the album's title track, would be released for digital download on March 23, 2010. On March 16, the first teaser trailer in a three part succession was posted on the website, featuring artwork for the new album, and was accompanied by clips from the "Diamond Eyes" single. The song was very well received by fans and critics, and was compared to Around the Fur material. The breakdown that closes the track has been described as the heaviest riff that Deftones have written.

[Verse 1] She was like nothing I'd ever known Her eyes shine like diamonds in a field of snow Man that destiny led her to me Made it feel that life was now complete A thousand days have passed And nights gone by You can see the glow slowly fading from her eyes Though she denies her pain and her dismay Know I said this to her anyway [Chorus] Don't have to stay with someone that makes you cry You'll end up killing all the love you have inside Can't hope to see the sun If you don't open your eyes Girl don't let real love pass you by [Post-Chorus] Ooh oh no Ooh don't let real love pass you by [Verse 2] I know you are nervous But take it from me Cause you deserve so much more than you receive Listen to your heart and let it show Don't hold on to your pain Just let it go, let it go [Chorus] Don't have to stay with someone That makes you cry You'll end up killing all the love you have inside Can't hope to see the sun If you don't open your eyes Girl don't let real love pass you by Don't have to stay with someone That makes you cry You'll end up killing all the love you have inside Can't hope to see the sun If you don't open your eyes Girl don't let real love pass you by [Post-Chorus] Oh yeah Girl don't let real love pass you by [Bridge] You can find a love you need If you set your heart free Girl... Don't have to stay with someone That makes you cry Don't be discouraged baby Don't let real love pass you by [Chorus] Don't have to stay with someone That makes you cry You'll end up killing all the love you have inside Can't hope to see the sun If you don't open your eyes Girl don't let real love pass you by Don't have to stay with someone That makes you cry You'll end up killing all the love you have inside Can't hope to see the sun If you don't open your eyes Girl don't let real love pass you by [Outro] Don't you let nothing Don't let no one take you away from love Don't let real love pass you by You'll see I know, I know, I know You'll be alright Don't let real love pass you by You just gotta believe in love, in love, in love, in love Don't let real love pass you by Oh yeah Don't let real love pass you by Ooh, yeah Don't let real love pass you by Don't let, don't let, don't let, don't let Don't let, don't let, don't let, don't let Don't let real love pass you by Oh yeah, oh Don't let real love pass you by...
