Sound and meaning

"Digital Bath" features a variety of effects and sampling.^[3] The verse is composed of echoed guitar chords and soothing, whispered vocals. The song also features a high vocal pitch from Chino Moreno virtually unheard in other Deftones material. Moreno stated that despite the "prettiness" of the song, it's actually about "electrocuting a girl in a bathtub".^[4][5]

Music video

The music video for the song was directed by Andrew Bennett. The video features live footage of the band intercut with segments of a woman entering a bathtub and the band performing at a rehearsal space. "Digital Bath" was performed live on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno on February 9, 2001.
