  • Mistake number one: Bringing up religion on the internet.

  • Good music is always symbolic. Maynard is a master songwriter.

    As far as getting all worked up about God/religion.. not one of us really knows what is going on, but we are ALL connected (or supposed to be).

    Is it funny that Maynard's songs make me feel peaceful while others get all worked up about them?

  • this is too direct

  • @DrTrappen

    That's why it's unique...

  • Does anyone know if Maynard did/does opiates?

  • Wonder how many of us have anti social personality disorder or borderline personality disorder.

  • Imagine Tool playing this song in a church, not as Tool, but as "Reverend Maynard and The Holy Gifts" I would love to see that happen, christian heads explode and end of christianity.

  • If there is a God, He is infinitely incomprehensible, since, having neither parts nor limits, He has no affinity to us. We are then incapable of knowing either what He is or if He is....

  • ‎"If you take different mythologies from different cultures, the names may change and the story lines may vary but there is always something in common."- Maynard James Keenan

    it doesn matter what you bvelieve it still stems back to the fact that the common denominator is there is a higher being in all forms of life and cultures.

    it relies heavily on how someones depicts there scriptures in there own mind and context

  • @finnster59 and that includes how a song is interpreted not just scriptures

    maynard would want ppl to have there own beliefs that are unique unto themselves

  • heres a thought: once you get to heaven then what? are you going to live forever up there?

  • I absolutely LOVE Tool... but this song kinda sucks. Lol

  • No one has anything to lose except their mortal life when they get beaten to death, tortured, hung, flogged, stoned, impaled, eaten by lions, or any of the other evil and fucking stupid shit that religious people do to both each other and those they deem to deserve it, with utter lack of legitimate evidence either in support or offense. Let's say there is a god, of any flavor. You won't be able to sense or feel what the fuck happens to you if they get mad at you for not believing. Grow up.

  • love the ending haha

  • Comment removed

  • Its "now he thinks he's a fire truck"

  • @TheSodimo fire engine.

  • to begin with the video was awesome. the song was awesome. i heard twiztid...

    And i jizzed

  • You know what they say, "Religion is the opiate of the masses!" Ha Ha

  • The ending of this song is interesting lol

  • twiztid is badass homie i dont like rap either iam just a juggalo who likes tool

  • @mikey24040 Nothing wrong with that.

  • @mikey24040 FUCKIN' MAGNETS HOW DO THEY WORK

  • thumbs up if you loved it all the way till the rap at the end of the song

  • @85909rr No thumbs up? hm Wonder why XD

  • I'm pretty sure Maynard alters both "blind me with you light" and "blind me with your lies" during the song.

  • Karl Marx said,,,,"Religion is the opiate of the masses."

  • I am pretty sure this song is based upon gypsy folklore of young women being brainwashed by men and kidnapped. Either way, amazing song. Open my eyes blind me with your light now.

  • this song is how you interpret it. Write what you want.

  • why is it advertising the artist .. twiiztid to buy their song afraid of me under the likes/dislikes

  • @TheChanpants neither are you fucker!

  • beevis and butthead isnt tool

  • @kohutn9ne2 Fire engine not fire truck

  • @rhcpdave you don't think "left wing" politicians are any different?

  • @ltajambi They are almost as bad, but don't pander to the religious fanatics so not quite as bad.

  • This song is mainly about how we fall into things(religion) so easily. When we are deaf and blind and dumb and born to follow, just like a child believes everything our parents have to say. our parents teach us about god (someone strong to guide you). Then you essentially become a slave and your gods will, becomes yours. So basically you dont know how to think for yourself.

  • I get to hear tool and then twiztid at the end. my night is made

  • Do you religious bastards even ever read a bible ?

  • @Griefbeef No, they don't...lol.

  • I had a friend once, he took an arrow to the knee...

  • In my imagination I picture Maynard having a sit down discussion with his "therapist" about this song. and more then a few awkward moments ensue.

  • @rnasterpiece : A few?!? *LMAO* I'd love to be a fly on the wall during that session! It had better be a male therapist...I do believe a woman would walk out...and I AM a woman! ;) I freaking love this song...I'll be his huckleberry AND his therapist! :P

  • any kind of religion is a form of brainwashing

  • this band knows what the fuck is up

    

  • am I the only one that wants to grab crazy drummer girl's tits?

  • i am christian, i still like the song, so enough with the asinine and beligerent comments...

  • I like twiztid never expected to hear them at the end of a tool song, that was totally surprising lol.

  • ....what, so I can't be christian and like atheist music? Music is music. Who gives a fuck. Fuck people who brag about faith, and others who bash and say it's "bullshit."(No offense) I don't care, I'll listen to what I want, and praise who I want...which in my case is God and Jesus. I am and always will be a believer...but just a little thought...if you believe, and God ends up not being real, well fuck oh well. But if he is(I believe and hope) what the fuck do you have to lose?

  • @TylerFlipz

    Pascal's wager is a fallacy, you know. You make it seem like a 50-50 chance, but do you know how many religions there are? What if your belief in the christian god is wrong, and Zeus exists? Or Krishna? Or Thor? etc... Using your logic, you believe in every religion's deities, right? No? Then you have just as much to lose as an atheist.

  • @joshmonster94 thats his point, u tard, its like u assumed he thought he was better than atheists, he said he was equal.

  • @facecheek

    I agreed with his post completely, up until pascal's wager.

    "if you believe, and God ends up not being real, well fuck oh well. But if he is(I believe and hope) what the fuck do you have to lose?" Read that over, now read my response over, I didn't even touch is first half because it was completely true. I was explaining that he did have something to lose because there is a many other options. I was a bit harsh, true, but that doesn't change the validity of what was said.

  • @joshmonster94 my point is also valid, as my outwardness matches yours ;)

  • @joshmonster94 But I was refering to atheists who don't believe in any type of god. You make a very good statement. And a very true one, but their are many religions believeing in some type of god. Only one(as far as I know) that doesn't believe in one at all. I try to come without an opinion. But my opinion would just piss people off, and I don't really care for all that. People can believe in what they want, I'm just tired of people trying to decide what's actually true.

  • Comment removed

  • @TylerFlipz haha im christian and tool is in my top 3.

  • @TylerFlipz what if you're wrong, then you have everything to lose, you put all your eggs in one basket.

  • @Iranxican god cares about everyone, because we all care about ourselves, and we are all part of god, we just don't know how to care for ourselves correctly and that is the eternal contest, it's horse shoe, which conceptual relationship of energy will win, before the reset button is pressed ;-)

  • @Iranxican Jesus fucking christ. Please kill yourself so you can have a conversation with your god and he can bitch slap you for being an idiot.

  • @TylerFlipz if you want to get your soul to heaven, trust in me now don't you judge or question.

  • @TylerFlipz Why bother fighting with the common sense part of your brain? You're just wrapping yourself up in an OCD world of fear and nervous tick rituals.

  • @TylerFlipz i want to like this a thousand times over

  • @TylerFlipz No one said Tool was atheist music. Why do you try to put labels on shit? Okay so he poses that God doesn't exist, which is obviously true - at least not in the moronic sense that the church has hocked for 2000 years and other prophets and cults before them. Just listen to the music and stop labelling.

  • @TylerFlipz

    So Tyler your view on religion/dogmatism/"truth" is it's a lottery??? Then the objective view is your chance of the Christian "god" being Truth is VERY, HIGHLY unlikely given the hundreds of hundreds of different, incompatable supossed divine texts and people throughout our specie's history. SO, what do YOU have to lose?? You have to lose the great, spiritual journey of self-discovery when one seeks after Truth--idk bout you. I'm after Truth, not a lotto ticket so maybe i'll win lol

  • @TylerFlipz

    Yo loose one thing and it is self respect, ok here i an idea:

    According to religion you must believe in god and never ever doubt never ask anything, so you see they don't want thinkers they want sheeps who follow their master.

    The idea of religion is mind control they have an uncanny ability to do this, just look at you.

  • @TylerFlipz Amen!! Im Christan and I love Tool. I love hard rock music. It doent chane my belief in God.

  • @TylerFlipz omg old Pascal's wager can be found anywhere, eh?

  • @TylerFlipz Its not neccessarily atheist music. It's not a knock on God, after all none of us know if he exists, despite what dogmatic religious AND atheist people believe, rather it's just about the discontents of organized religious. Im sure your aware of this, I just wanted to reiterate upon it

  • @TylerFlipz Epic Pascal's Wager

  • @TylerFlipz thats is a terrible way to live your life you sound like a very confused individual, you basically said, yeahi believe in god "just in case" what a fucking retard you must be.

  • @blazerdude89 I believe i was very clear. I believe in God....but what is the use bashing something, if u dnt believe in it? Move on and live how u wnt. if u wnt to worship lucifer then b my fuckin guest...if u wnt to worship multiple gods...have at it. just stfu and dnt bash ppl, and for christ sake listen to the best band ever and move on with ur life.

  • @TylerFlipz Pascal's wager, kinda pathetic, if your god's perfect and omniscient... shouldn't he know that you're fucking with him?

  • @TylerFlipz  balls deep

  • @TylerFlipz uugh

  • in

  • 12 people believe I the power of religion.

  • @supercosplaypro look at my comment...and really, its fucking youtube, not a blog site, so pull the tampons out and listen to the music...

  • " It's called faith because it's not knowledge. Faith by definition is believing in things without evidence, and personally I don't do that anymore, because I'm not an idiot."

  • I have a friend who is a Jesus Freak. Playing this song around her would be totally fucked up! ||: Oh, and around my best friend as! ^,^ And my family! ||:

    Shit, I can't play this anywhere! DD:

  • @TheLoveNotWar1000 I had a best friend who was a Jesus/Christianity freak, one of those blind born again kids who tried to convert everyone. I'm a believer, but I'm not blind nor am I closed minded. It was because of Tool and APC music, specifically this song and The Noose, that he finally opened his mind. He's all sorts of better now. :)

  • why does it say artist twiztid and song afraid of me? lol

  • finally lyrics that say what ive always been thinking

  • please tell me one of you ignorant fucks listen to the lyrics at the end. and bag on kohun9ne2 1.... the lyrics are fucking written and you fucked them up in your post. dumb ass

  • tool isd the most overrated band of all time, with stupid pretebtious music and dumb lyrics

  • i agree with TooL here.. religious people are " Deaf and blind and dumb and born to follow" basically they are sheep

  • @llHyRaXll and you are generalizing fool

  • music is good, but lyrics ...

  • @LokkoForm the music and instrumentals and voice sound good but the lyrics make this song even better

  • @llHyRaXll Yes, but I'm Christian.. These lyrics hurt me : /

  • @LokkoForm its your choice to be christian, maybe if you actually read half the disgusting shit in that book you'd change your mind.

  • @LokkoForm Fuck You !

  • @LokkoForm Dude, let me help you throw away the burden on your shoulders. You can't know if there's a God or not. Someone had this theory and put it on paper(or leather, at that time). So you see, it's an inherited belief and nothing more. Let me tell you something, I dunno if there's a God, I dunno if there's knowledge, but I believe that if there's a God he's definitely not that sober child with a bad temper from The Bible. If he is 100% love like St John says, then all the rest is BULLSHIT.

  • this is fucking stupid song and lyrics are laghable

  • @gogolplex74 I love you.

  • @gogolplex74 the lyrics are true and i hope it pisses religious freaks off haha

  • @gogolplex74

    you're laghable

  • @aarontimebomb no you

  • ronald scared the shit out of me.

  • Beevis and Butthead totally make this vid AWESOME!

  • he has needs, like i do, we both want, TO RAPE YOU!!! X)

  • You were doing a great job until you put The Beavis and Butthead nonsense in it.

  • "I had a friend once, he took some acid. Now he thinks he's a fire truck." it makes scence.. why else would someone piss on your lighter?

  • @kohutn9ne2 Fire engine not fire truck

  • 4:13 Supafly

  • that beavus and butthead BS ruined this video for me...

  • Hey, this song is amazing... shut up... who am i talking too... i like cookies... the end....

  • Comment removed

  • @gogolplex74 haha what a mongoloid

  • @hndqvi fuck off

  • @gogolplex74 good point. oh btw evolution.

  • @gogolplex74 I am a Christian as well and I enjoy their music as you do!

  • @gogolplex74 shows how sheeple your guys are that you hear this message that insults your very way of living and thinking yet you continue to let your soul be ensnared by these lies.

  • @gogolplex74 christian. LOLOL THIS BITCH

  • this is totally cool or totally fucked up

  • The name sake for this song is in reference to a quote by Marx the Jew who created Communism. He said "religion is the opiate of the masses".

  • I see know that i am older how manipulative religion is They say love this and love that and people that follow that idea soon forget what really love is, they don't doubt about what they believe because there is a punishment if you do that, they can't even do research because god is looking at you everyday every second, but i wonder where is that god when things gone bad? When things are fucked up like an accident, illness, I see that only science is doing something to improve our lives.

  • @RichardJandres

    Its not as easy as that. Sciences changes our life everyday. But it is not set that science will improve our lives. Sure thing, electricity or the internet or this kind of things are great things, but think of the atomic bomb. it was also invented by scientists in order to have the strongest weapons against the nazis. Nowadays there is no need in having such kind of weapons, but all over the world scientists are searching for even more powerful weapons. There are pro and cons.

  • and at the end it's a fire engine.

  • @snaredrum110

    Are you sure that your better than Danny Carey? I don't know how good you are, do you have any videos? I am not trying to be a troll or be mean.

  • deaf and blind and dumb, and born to follow.

  • why does it say twisted?

  • Great Vid! Until "Twizted" or whatever they're called came on at the end. You can't mix Tool & that Egotistical juggalo BS. wtf!?

  • Awesome video... right up until about the last 20 seconds... wtf?

  • I don't think Christianinty was intended for what it is percieved as of today. I think just like guns, some people are dangerous with dogma. I have faith in god, Jesus, and I consider myself to be a christian. However the majority of people the practice my faith just like trigger happy rednecks. I don't plan on acttacking people's faith maliciously, and I do really enjoy this song due to the opinion is a valid one.

  • @cbelanger84 -was not intending to insult, and I did say"some"people. I will never lump ppl. When you get to know someone on a personal level then nothing else should matter. Peace

  • LOVE THIS SONG..it is so damn true about some people (we all know who they are!) being unable to think for themselves, they let others twist their minds to suit an agenda. Fear is a powerful TOOL (sorry) and if you dont protect the only thing you really own-Your Mind-then you deserve to be owned by dogma.

  • I almost shit myself when Beavis and Butthead came in on the hook.

  • I have no problem with faith. My problem lies with religion, which manipulates the faith of it's followers, indoctrinating people with bullshit. Faith is fine (in my opinion) but when you put an unnecessary, self possessed political system (for that's what religion is) behind it, it gets all kinds of fucked up.

  • @lycanfan FUCKING RIGHT MAN FUCKING RIGHT WELL SAID had to shout it to get my point across

  • @jmp17x Thank you, but you didn't need to shout. I got you loud and clear.

  • @lycanfan Sir(or Ma'am), you have won the interwebs.

  • @Orangys280Z Thanks. I think.

  • @lycanfan It's meant to be a compliment, so you're welcome. It's not all that common to find someone who doesn't have their head up their ass on Youtube.

  • @Orangys280Z Thanks then. I do try to avoid shoving my head up my ass.

    And I'm a 'sir', by the way.

  • lol you put afraid of me by twiztid at the end? thats awesome

  • should make a vid w this only showing christians and muslims destroying each other adn the rest of the world

  • @TheyCallMeMoney420 And showing Atheists who can't even spell "and" correctly? Don't mock a man for his beliefs, mock the belief? Passionate enough to destroy or not he at least has passion which well, if you mess with a mans passion well you'll see. Religion is pure bull shit, but don't think the followers are fucking stupid.

  • @QuackJekyll excuse me for my typo. I actually am not an atheist and i wasnt mocking anything. Thats what is happening now but youre to fucking blind to see it.

  • @TheyCallMeMoney420 By theway reread what you wrote you cant really change it, but you could remove it. Just saying though giving, you know ADVICE.

  • @QuackJekyll your sentences dont make sense....reread what YOU wrote and ask yourself what the fuck did i just say?

  • @TheyCallMeMoney420 Ehh im assuming your'e feeling a bit insecure at this point, so me being the considerate person I am, i'm going to leave now. This is just humiliating.

  • @QuackJekyll and if you just said....religion is pure bullshit....why do you follow? are you stupid?

  • @TheyCallMeMoney420 Jesus love you! :DD

  • Comment removed

  • @QuackJekyll apparently everyone thinks youre stupid and your comments are being removed.

  • I'm suppose to feel sympathy or somehow feel hurt because of a majority rule? Why the fuck do you listen to Tool?

  • wat was the song after opiate ?

  • 9 people are broken, but faith can heal them..

  • @noinnciimbrogliamo other way around

  • hahaha love the secret song

  • I think it's fire hydrant

  • Just saying, a catholic guy in my maths class told me i was going to burn in hell today. why? because i wear my pentagram proudly. yes i know it is the pagan symbol of fertility and satanism also uses it to symbolise the religion but i dont see why catholics, jews and christians need to shove their religion down everyones throats. also someone told me i was going to hell for liking this song, some random chick in my homeroom class. dumb bitch.

  • @TheBMBass fucking holy rollers gotta always walk around and say that shyt....

  • @TheBMBass dude fuck the bible thumpers you follow what you wanna follow and live your life how you think it should be lived.... fuck religion my grandparents tried shoving it down my throat and i dont believe in anything now because of them

  • @TheBMBass They are limited by biases, and they have become ignorant through their beliefs, as consequence they won't really go anywhere. They will be stuck in the loop. Just be happy that you aren't stuck in that loop. It is such a colorless existence when everything is based off of judgement and vengeance.

  • @TheBMBass You probably already know this, but the pentagram is paganism and the inverted pentagram is satanism. Sorry if you already knew but i just wanted to share in case you didn't =)

  • @freezingshdw It's Pagan either way. They just mean different things. Satanist took the inverted pentacle because it symbolized Man or the elements that make up Man above spirit (God) also because it resembled Baphomet a being first used by the free masons also taken by Satanists and twisted into there own uses.

  • i think this is the best tool song ever....i love it

  • I'm probably gonna be joining the military, but not because i believe in it, but because I need the discipline. At some point, I lost myself. I lost my confidence and manhood. We all need a helping hand from time to time, just don't let that hand control you. Just adding perspective to the song is all.

  • that burger king part was funny as shit

  • That guy at 2:02 has AC/DC t-shirt hahahhaah

  • @MaynardSaraCobain I absolutley love your name, I dont know where the "Sara" part came from but its still kick ass. And you do know that guy at 2:02 is Butt-Head from Beavis and Butt-Head dont ya...

    Maynard rocks

  • LOVE

    

  • The title of the song is from Marx's(the jew who created communism) quote which is that "religion is the opiate of the masses". Just thought I'd say that for the few who think this song is about drugs
