  • first song that made me like them

  • I dont think i've ever heard someone say tool sucks. Weird.

  • This song is about something.

  • @Joltzz1985 this song is probably about kurt cobain

  • this song is about an evil queen and the darkness that supports her

  • 27 people are wimps!

  • Search Bar: h

    Results: this + other Tool songs

    now that's what i like to see

  • take your conversations elsewhere, i'm hear for the music so shut up!

  • I am too connected to this song

  • @fridun007 how about connecting your lips to my nuts

  • This song is about anal love beads.

    

  • this makes me feel so good. *kiss*

  • the (three?) drum parts that come together around 3:30 create a polyrythymn that is just really really neat.

  • @fretbored23 yeah, really really neat. now go hang yourself

  • I can only read with half my mind, then the other comes back to say forget it. I read it again at home it makes more sense but pulls me down because I missed it. Months later I can feel I think but, who's thinking ? It tells me, give in, give up or shut up.

    I keep saying Marius wake the fuck up!

  • PURE LOVE.... reminds me of Jason Stock.. I miss you.

  • Tools sucks. You can barely hear the lyrics. Emo rock boy band bullshit.  Black Keys > Tool ..... all day any day.

  • @TheJovanist But you come to a Tool video to say that, you can't expect to not get shit for saying that... Are you stupid?

  • @TheJovanist I'm surprised your computer didn't explode from the absurd amount of bullshit that just spewed from your fingers.

  • tool songs can be about anything you want, heroin, his son, bill hicks, his childhood abuse etc.

  • @downwithjedward my nuts

  • Has recently (in past year or so) become my favorite Tool song. What is everyone else's?

  • @HoodyBoy85 10,000 Days. That song wrecks me everytime...

  • @HoodyBoy85

    H, Pushit, Hooker w/ a Penis, Bottom, Opiate, 46 & 2, jerkoff and 3rd eye

  • @HoodyBoy85 Stinkfist, Vicarious, Schism, Parabola, Ænema, Eulogy, Lateralus, Faaip de Oiad, Jambi, Viginti Tres, Intension, Rosetta Stoned.

    Yeah, you can tell that I love Tool.

  • @HoodyBoy85 Same. It's close between this one and Pushit. Both are amazing. I've been listening to a lot of Undertow recently, too. Swamp Song, specifically.

  • @HoodyBoy85 i cant really decide, i would say usefull idiot, message to harry manback, intermission, Die Eier Von Satan, Cesaro Summability, and (-) Ions are among my favorites

  • I love this. The emotion in his voice is amazing, the lyrics are deep, and everything fits together perfectly.

  • Maynard has commented that this is his form of therapy. As we all share the human condition - it reasons, that we all in some wy can relate (or will at some point in our unique lives) be able to relate to the emotions he portrays in this song. He sings the words that I strugle to find - and keep silent on.

  • awesome

  • has anyone done a tutorial or an hd cover of this could you let me know?

  • This song makes me think of my relationship ,or lack of ,with my father.

  • Got that sweet heronnn

  • @Fearbasdlfrm hello are you guuys lustening mariusz dosent give a shit abou what your trying to teAch because mariusz learnwd it aready withouth and actualoy depite you. Furthermoe, any actual tool fans reading these posts should ignore half these idiots. They are pretending to be H.

  • It's about this thing that haunts and reminds me of what hurt then the fight inside to survive and step through. To preserve theself, progress ...The look on your face made me Think twice, Should i kill you or hug you? ......my ideology.

  • I don't mind.

  • what a fucking great song. oh my godness. könnt es irgend was besseres geben? ich wüsste es nicht. könnt es irgend was geben, was mich mehr tangiert? mir mehr unter die haut geht? mich mehr berührt? mich mehr im hier und jetzt wiegt? mich mehr leben lässt? i don´t know. i love it.

  • I still feel you touching me, I still feel you changing me. or whatever yeah they we're right about the meaning. But in other words could still be about herion :) So I agree with Tacocheesesauce.

  • sucha deep band

  • WHOS GONNA GO SEE TOOL LIVE SOON? LETS ALL GOq!!!

  • All of you are idiots. Tool's songs do not have robust meanings: Their songs are written for the listener to come up with their own meaning-- you are supposed to use their songs as a TOOL.

  • just enjoy what the band has given us.. if he wanted us to know what it meant .. he'd yell us. the mystery only adds to the love of it all.

  • This song is not about heroin, nor ego death produced by psychedelics. It is about his son Devo H Keenan, biggercitydreamz had it right.

  • what is this junk!!!!!!!!!!

  • @armontight12 lol kid learn to know real music.

  • Yea. After reading the lyrics I'm pretty sure it's about his son.

  • @ghostoftomjones1 it IS about heroin.

  • i thought it was about Heroin......

  • At first I thought this song tied in with the song "Prison Sex" until I did some research.

  • H. = cHuj ???

  • Ah, and to everyone with nothing better to do that jibber jabber and argue about the meaning, take from it what YOU want, and enjoy the f'n song.

  • @tanianiania THANK YOU!!! It drove me crazy while I was in art school, and my professors would ask what my piece was about, and would not accept, "well what do YOU get out of it" as an answer. I get my own interpretations out of Tool's music and am just fine with not knowing what their exact intent was.

  • This is my fav of theirs because I can zone in on each of the instruments (vocals, bass line, melody, drum rhythm) and hear that they individually are playing their own beautiful melodic song that I could keep focusing on and it holds up on its own. But if I pull back and listen to the song as a whole they all come together and none overpowers the other. Beautiful combination. Andddd I wrote that completely sober haha. Need sleeeeep.

  • H. obviously stands for Devo "H." Keenan... his son. Clearly this song is about watching his sons birth, and fighting his inner demons when he's becoming a father. Listen closely...

  • @BiggerCityDreamz thank you lol ALOT of people thought it was about drugs..

  • @25cent2233 - That'd be too obvious... Tool doesn't do the obvious.

  • @BiggerCityDreamz lol look it up.. He said it himself

  • @25cent2233 - Wait, what am I looking up? Lol

  • @BiggerCityDreamz no its about heroin

  • @1tfreeman - ...And you're close minded. It's OK, they make music for people like you. This includes Nickleback, Katy Perry, and other single cell organisms.

  • @BiggerCityDreamz I thought it was a reference to Jesus H. Christ and the struggle Maynard has with his own atheism versus the religion of his loved ones.

  • @BiggerCityDreamz i know my dad tells me that this songs about me all the time..

  • @BiggerCityDreamz how would that be obvious? Most people wouldn't know what his sons name even is. And ive heard this song a million times. That makes no sense what you wrote. Not only that, but you spelled it "dreamz" no real tool fan would ever do that

  • @enigma414 - Perhaps because I am an individual, and I have other dimensions rather than just being labeled as a Tool fan. Why does it piss you off that I find the meaning of this song obvious. No real Tool fan would ever misinterpret the meaning of this song.

  • @BiggerCityDreamz i dont know, i got all the cds and seen them in concert, so i feel like a tool fan. i guess not though, because i dont know his sons middle name. next ill figure out who his mailman is

  • @enigma414 - Good, find out what kind envelopes he uses. Also, what kind of glue does the envelope have? Is he a licker, or is he a wet ragger? Let me know shit head.

  • @BiggerCityDreamz sounds alot like H : heroin to me, but we have our interpretations

  • Amazing song.

  • C'mon guys. This song is obviously about fruit.

  • @Blacksight1 thats what im spittin yo. it's about a Honeydew melon. i also heard 46 and 2 was about mario kart

  • I dont mind

  • This is one of my favorite songs on my favorite Tool album. I doubt they'll ever top this CD (but I hope I'm wrong.)

  • Actually, this song is about Keenan's son, Devo H. Keenan. The song is named after Devo's middle initial

  • @randomguy12812 whip it good. devo is a stupid fucking name. and that came from chacha.com. i said "is devo a good name" and it said no, its fucking stupid

  • This song is about D-Day, because Omaha has an 'h' in its name. It can also be about an old man playing chess and thinking about his long lost love.

  • Everyone SHUT DA FUCK UP

    Tool is just as their band name defines... This band is a TOOL that each and every one of us can use to interpret things. That's why none of us have the same interpretation about the songs.

  • @Komadin Finally a TooL fan that gets it. I owe u a cookie or something. Though Maynard did state that the original name of this song is half empty and that it was about in cartoons the devil on one shoulder and the angel on the other shoulder and how it actually is in real life.

  • @Komadin That's what music should be about :) not only Tools music ;)

    Happy to see someone else with the same idea of things

    Alex

  • I'm just now realizing how amazing this band is. Oh...the wasted years!

  • I will obtain this fucking album if it kills me.

  • as the walls come down... lets rock

    considerately 

  • *Thanks

  • That brainboob for clearing that up. Fucking clever.

  • ....hate to break it to you all, but this song is about maynards son, has nothing to do with drugs accept as a metaphore, as most of there stuff its not at all what most people assume it is.....

  • @nickysyx11 the whole album Aenema is influenced by DMT, if you ever tried it you'd understand what im saying, as with all tool albums its a whole and one piece completes the others, the album is influenced by DMT as much as it was influenced by the birth of Devo, just my 2 cents on this, but this song has a lot of ayahuasca references, just listen to "third eye" and the Bill hicks monologue, DMT is the best way to pry open your third eye, why would they make it the last track?

  • H. is the middle initial of his son. Like the whole ego death theory, though.

  • ^this song IS actually

    damn it im a fob!

  • after looking up what this song actually about, i cried. the meaning behind it is profoundly beautiful and reminds me of my father :')

  • @iloveyoumrfrodo

    Wow, because you mentioned that, I took time to look up the meaning myself and now I have a whole different point-of-view of this song!

    Thank you! :))

  • @TheLoveNotWar1000 lol no problem! glad you enjoy it more now

  • The last 10 seconds of this song give me chills.

  • i was 665 preson to like this .... so close :(

  • Now, got a version without idiotic gore movies scenes. Proceeding to favourite.

  • @NNDymitriadis thedevilsbacon is his username right?

  • @vegetafan100 sth like this. i don't mean to be a combatant, but seriously, it feels like some kid wanted to be metal badass and it went wrong( no off to the author though).

  • This song is quite the ride.

  • its amazing how there music sinks into your bones ..you can feel it in every fiber , never is there an empty message

  • "Tool is exactly what it sounds like: It's a big dick. It's a wrench.... we are... your tool; use us as a catalyst in your process of finding out whatever it is you need to find out, or whatever it is you're trying to achieve."

    That is why their songs mean different things to different people. No answer is wrong.

  • Tool has put a mask over the industry...

  • from my junky's view, this is all about Heroin, the foolishness in what we addicts do, the indifference, the self-hate and brittle hope. The 'snake" is what the addiction and how it tears us apart, be it sex, gambling, food, smack or whatever that drags you down into a hole that is horrible but so normal that it's comforting

  • @rottingbutterflies I quit opimium with Jesus. I just said to Him, WITH TOTAL SINCERITY AND SURRENDER,

    "Jesus. I surreneder my vision of this shit to you, and ask for Your Vision instead. Let me see this shit with Your eyes. I thank you now."

    That's all it took.....just to surrender my vision of opium to Him. He healed my blindness instantly. Now I see opium with His eyes. What an amazing new understanding of it I have now, thanks to Jesus

    It's our arrogance that keeps us from surrendering.

  • Love love love this song!!!

  • Maybe the letter H. is an abbreviation for Heroin?

  • @Dimethyltryme no its about his son whos middle name is H

  • @downwithjedward I thought the H stood for Hicks.

  • @downwithjedward I guess its really hard to actually determine what a song in particular is about, it could be about his son and Heroin as well. or it could be about ham sandwiches. It doesn't matter what anyone else's perception of this song is, How you interpret it is what matters. But from what i know from experience is that heroin is a highly addictive drug, "days away" from using heroin you can still feel its hold on you.

  • @think19090 u are totally right.

  • Song is about Ego death.

    Why "H"?, because it's not "I"

  • @ENFPdork You got it. Most people don't understand this because people that don't go through the experience are stick in an almost adolescent mental state. Its like going through life without having sex.

  • @ENFPdork h stands for heroin.

  • @fargone164 lol its about his son.....

  • @ENFPdork

    It's a capital H which resembles two I's connected in the center. So this song is about unity and separation. Coping with that separation. "days away I still feel you, touching me, changing me'.

  • lol @ people over analysing the song, fitting in with their own perceptions.

  • @iliketorofllol thats whats suppose to happen.

  • @iliketorofllol so what.. its what all great music does. it must not mean anything to you

  • @iliketorofllol isnt that kinda good though? that a piece of art can have so many different meanings to so many different people? each one being totally perfectly personal and unique?

  • @LittleForkTongue Yes, the difference is that people are convinced that certain lyrics are about what they want it to be, when the cold hard truth is, most of the time they're wrong.

  • Some of you people think way too much and the funny thing is you really do think your putting the pieces in the right spot. Just listen for yourself and tell you what does this song mean to ME. Peace

  • This song is about Maynards's son. His middle name is the letter H. It's about how Maynard was abused as a child and how it's human nature to want to repeat the cycle unto another but that he resists because he is stronger and smarter than his step father. It's all about refusing to give in to evil impulses that will turn out to haunt you once they've been committed.

  • @joebobstevemcfrank this song is about DMT or ayahuasca AKA Hoasca, its about killing the ego and being reborn into a humble perspective, there is mention of Devo in there but it is very common to ask the vine on how to be a better person and ones family comes up, "days away, still feel you..." is the afterglow of ayahuasca and how all the visions start to make sense, your walls of reality come down to see life in a different light.

  • i hate when people think this song is called "i dont mind"

  • @undertow1985 That would be a good title.

  • Who gives a fuck about the "real" meaning of this song?

    I just fucking love it and that's it! I don't give a flying fuck if it's about his son or heroin. ; )

  • This is the song that made me like Tool. I cannot possibly describe what this song means to me. At the very least, it has an amazing bridge.

  • And the snake is drowned and

    As I look in his eyes,

    My fear begins to fade

    Recalling all of those times.

    I could have cried then.

    I should have cried then.

    Yes i agree we all need to let our walls down and put ourselves in a vulnerable place and just cry and understand that its okay. 99% of the time we pt up this macho man attitude, yeah i don't give a fuck it does not bother me at all. and its that 99% of the time that we care more then anything. its only once the walls are down we move on.

  • @RomeoTheKat :)

  • @RomeoTheKat Did you thank The Internet?

  • who fucking cares what the song is about what does it mean to you?

  • The song "H." is written about Keenan's son, along with mentioning that the title of it is derived from his son's middle name.

  • Dont read this cause it actually works. u will be kissed in the nearest possible Friday the love of your life. Tomorrow will be the best day of your life. However, if you do not post this comment on at least 3 videos, you will die within 2 days. now you started reading this, dont stop. This is so scary. Put this on at least 5 vidoes in 143 minutes, and when your done, press F6 and your lover's name will appear on the screen in big letters. This is so scary cuz it actually work

  • ..troll dude.. Obama wasn't in office when this song was presented....in any case, he was inducted in a bad time when everything went to/and was in shit anyways! It could have been anybody..

  • @Aelandrae Um... just.. no. He was obviously being sarcastic because of all the r-tards forcing their idea of the meaning in other's faces.

  • Oh my Holy Cows, H stands for fuckin' Humpty Dumpty! OOx

    There, case closed.

    ~_~

  • I wish people would respect tool more and uses the comment ability to share their mature opinion on the song. Not talk about taking a dump or screwing unicorns....... I guess some people still need to put their big boy pants on and grow up

  • @NuggetMcFly stop acting like an illustrated snob, that's the kind of behaviour because some people hates tool , the annoying fanbase, i listen tool but i'm not going around arguing like a douchebag.

  • @TheLaughingMan0603 listen up, this dude's not arguing like a douchebag damn it.

  • @NuggetMcFly You're a perfect example of Tool's annoying fanbase.

  • I have read a lot of peoples thoughts on this song.

    It seems the two most common interpretations are it's about his son devo h Keenan or heroin.

    I can see how both could be right but I have heard rumors that this song was written before devo was born and others that Maynard stated on stage that this was about his family.

    I like to think it's about devo because prison sex is one of the deepest songs ever; This song would just add even more meaning to the abuse cycle shown in prison sex.

  • @drumoftheland747,H stands for MJK son! I believe H is the 1st letter of his middle name or 1st! Oh well powerful song!

  • @jeffreyswiderski Actually "H" is his son's middle name. No other letters, just H.

  • Unicorn sex is not only dangerous but its also just wrong. So Stop it!! Just stop!

  • Hey Maynard James Keenan, can i borrow 30 Dollars? 4:40
