The song is about Devo H. Keenan, his son. When Devo was born, keenan hidded him that he was his father, the song says that he loved him "I am too connected you, slip away, fade away, days away, still feel you"
Hasn't Maynard been quoted as saying he intentionally misleads people as to the subject matter of his songs . . . anybody who does not think this song is about heroin is crazy
@frogtmd ive had this discussion withother tool heads about the intent and meaning of this song and it is no way about heroin hahhhahah. but if it helps people who have heroin as a crutch then so be it . tool lyrics are mulit dimensional and are something for somebody. so bleed on H. heaven hell h. hubert his middle name jesus h. christ. hahaha lucuy
i love this band, i had their studio albums until some fuckers broken into my house and stole them. They stole some of my valued treasures. Dosent matter ill look for the albums and buy them again, thats how much i love this band.
You can never tell what a Tool song is about, seeing as the band never tells you what they mean by it. Most people who do their homework think it's about Maynard's son... whose middle name is "H." Or perhaps just about tearing away from someone slowly that is very important to you. Certainly not about heroin.
Best live version of this song ever. Absolutely amazing btw.
The one difference you can see tho from this tour to the lateralus tour was just how much more intense they got. Much more laid back during the Aenema tour.
the best part(besides obviously a younger band) is the crowd and how quiet they are. tool shows now are filled full of shouting idiots completely ruining the show for everyone else watching whether they are there or watching a bootleg at home. should be a crime prosecutable by death!
I'd rather watch them get cuffed and their mouths ductaped., and then set them up in the balcony in back, just for torture. And no big screen to watch Tool on :p
"i am to connected to you to, to slip away fade away". Sounds like a relationship thing. You know how mayanrd fucks around. His sons name might not even be devo. i could be wrong....
@seinffeld this song is about jehova jesus lucifer lucifer is the snake . when lucifer decieved eve god changed him . my blood before me begs me open up my heart again two totally void of hate god and jesus lucifer ....... is the snake .. he is the father of lies jesus H. christ H. is maynards middle name Hubert. H> heaven hell without the skin . recalling of the time i could have cried i should have
walls recalling all of the iimes i have died and will die i dont mind
@seinffeld You're a Tool....why the "F" would Maynard right a song about Herbert Hoover? Listen again....and again...and again....and hopefully you'll figure something out.......you're a sheep!!!!
The song could be about an addiction to heroin, responsibility to those we love, or anything in between and beyond. That is the best thing about Tool lyrics, they don't spoon feed you, meaning is in the eye of the beholder(or at least the ear of the listener)
i love tool more then anything, but i'll never figure out why ppl are obsessed with knowing what Maynard had in mind when he wrote the lyrics? Does it matter? what it does to you is the point of it. This song is about whatever you think it is. Everytime Maynard's introduced it live, he's introduced it as being about something different from the last time. he doesn't want you to know what it's about.
I dont think its somespecific thing, Im sure it came from things very specific though. I think its more about duality, and inner struggle of some types of things, the emotions themselves are described without being descriptive of a specific content.
That's what a lot of Tool's lyrics are. Created from something specific but formulated in such a way that anyone can draw meaning and relate to it themselves.
No man, not the original song at all, subtle changes. Tool is alot like pink floyd live, they are very consistant. If you havent seen them live you DEF. need too.
I think that other guy is on crack Dudeegg2. Anyways, this live version of H has the best sound quality out of all the other H lives. I hope they officially recorded a live version of H somewhere.
wut reason? heroin, heaven and hell, James H. Keenan, Devo H. Keenan, maybe half-empty half-full I dunno but Heroin isn't the only possible reason for the title y don't u shed some light on the subject, douche?
