I'm a huge Tool fan and never once even considered what Lordbluefungus1 said about the album being about liquid. It totally makes sense. I have listened to this album a lot and never changed my perception enough to gather that obvious link. That is sooo cool and so Tool. Thanks Lordbluefungus1 for pointing that out and Suckthebeef for posting the music!
4 degrees is about anal which has plenty of fluids going on ;) The only one I can't connect is Crawl Away, but that could act as a catalyst that sets the "water" loose.
Whoever thinks that the intro is a "bong rip" is a fucking stoner idiot. It is the sound of the last air bubbles coming out of a divers mask as he runs out of air. It is the start of a journey through an album, that, to put it broadly, is about drowning, and more acutely, being overcome by fluid. Prison Sex, Sober, Swamp Song, Undertow and Flood all directly present a subject controlled by liquid, be it liquor, cum or water. In Bottom we have the act of sinking in a perverbial water.
THis is the motto of West Point..."I will not lie cheat or steal or tolerate those who do" my grandfather went to west point. His whole class got thrown out because some of them cheated and they refused to tell on each other...true story they don't mess around.
if people don't know, this is mocking the Army's pledge of "I will not lie, cheat, or steal, nor will I tolerate anyothers who do". This comes from his upbringing in a military school.
how bout people just post whats good on the track they are listening to rather then hearing there own opinions and reading it when they come back to the same track with a different feeling then they did when they had tried to make there point of stupidity. its a good song and i think we all can relate to it not because we went and researched on how the musician came across such a great lyric for this album, so i say to u ignorant ones that almost have it think b4 u speak
and in having come to that realization that we all come from this familiar realm and "no one is innocent", the person maynard is speaking through in the song no longer fears earthly consequences and therapeutically applies it to his obsession with revenge.....it's like is saying " we are all one and your injustice disrupts this so i will let you see this and".....".i will go down beside you."
maynard is speaking through the mind of someone who is obsessed with justice/revenge........and the realization of his contradiction is expressed via the line..."no one is innocent"....including himself........ it seems that this song's lyrical content is derived from some familiar dream realm that connects the saint to the killer.......
@banklikefrankwhite1 : wow cool I was in the military as well ..... I never actually knew the actual reason for the lyrics, that's the beauty behind tool's lyrics though; how mystic and interperetive Maynard designs them to be.
@hallorand9 songs about an honor code.."I will not lie, cheat or steal, and I will not tolerate those who do."
Maynard was sick of living it because all he saw were liars cheaters and intolerant faggots like yourself i imagine. Read a fucking bio on a bands song from a reputable source before posting a beligerant response. ya fuckin cocksucking mindless 99% american drone.
@EvenifuwaNteD2 speak for your self faggot, you think when the band wrote this song, not just maynard you dumbass, what was running through their heads when they wrote this song...man one day i want this song to inspire some fag to look up my personal info because hes obsessed with me....no they were thinking this i great music and i hope it puts some meaning into peoples life......you my friend are the tool...go take more time out f your life to look up personal info
@Tomsawyerspit Under "Early Life" on his wikipedia page, YT won't let me post link but,
It's his time at West Point prep, and the fact that he chose to turn down his appointment. He was disillusioned with his colleagues values. and his dissidence wouldn't be tolerated, Go find out what W. Points code says, and tell me thats NOT what this songs about! If taking a little time to research a musician one enjoys means obsessing to you then I'm gonna advise you that you shouldn't breed
@hallorand9 no "bro" it has been stated, in a magazine interview with Maynard., as well as being able to be confirmed through a simple internet search "bro"
"good un educated tools" ? what?
there can not be a bigger "tool" or douche bag than someone who says "bro"
@banklikefrankwhite1 lol ok brah. whatever you say, and i added an extra "o" , my bad brosoph. and if you have a link to this magazine i would LOVE to see it. i have searched for 'meanings' but no results..besides OPINIONS, and OBV he is mocking the army pledge, and was in military school...not even saying their connected, aha, but if you have actual proof of maynard saying that..
@hallorand9 a link to a magazine that i have in a paper copy? no sir, but i will look for it, and if possible get the link to the magazine, so you can check their archives. I don't remember which magazine it was. Just remember him saying that it had to do with his disillusionment he felt from his time in the army. Of course, he could have been bullshitting, he often does that. If i wrote songs and people bugged me for what the song is about, i'd get pissed and lie too.
@hallorand9 you could start with Toolshed though, most of their stuff is either official, or has been confirmed by Maynard. He even submitted official lyrics
I was wrong about a quick search, i had never bothered to do it, i just assumed.
