He’s killing his ex in a lake. He’s pretending he doesn’t know about her infidelity, luring her to the edge of a lake or river. “You should know by now that this could end.” He found out that it’s over. He is making terms with the cruel reality he now has to bear, which is that he was betrayed by her. Psst: (if you put on your headphones, you can hear the crickets at the beginning of the prechorus, when he sings “do you like the way the water tastes,” which is intentionally setting the scene in an outdoor, night setting). When the chorus hits, “BEWARE THE WATER” sets up the scene next to the river/lake, warning his wife to “beware the water/try not to get wet” “Teeth are dry from the wind blows.” Chino sings it with such repressed agony, almost as if he’s holding something back and not gonna give in to letting it go. Letting “what” go, you ask? Well, then the song pauses... and all you hear is the CRICKET COUNTDOWN. THEN, when he grabs her wife by the head and shoved her into the water... THAT’S when the heavy ass outro kicks in. He is drowning his wife with hate and thirst for vengeance in this final measure. This song is fucking DARK.
+) I think "Heh... Heh..." sound in the outtro means, that his wife is gagging in the water(lake) and he keep ask her "Do you like the way the water taste"
