I know at least parts of the album were dedicated to, if not written with Bills Hicks in mind. Watch some of his stand-up or just read the wiki on him, I'd say this fitting...
this song obviously has a meaning to maynard and i would feel stupid listening to ANY song of ANy band and having the total wrong idea of what the message of the song(s) was supposed to be, if any..
furthermore- there is nothing wrong with trying to understand or get a better idea of what your favorite artists are trying to convey with their art, this is also said knowing that not every artist actually has a message.
@GuyChan3 I totally agree, every song is subjective to the hearer, it can mean something totally different to me than it does you. I try every time I hear a song to come to what I think this song writer was thinking when he was writing it. That's the best part about listening to music I like.
@tampamann2006 I don't see why your comment is hidden, you're completely right. I was just looking through the comments to see if anyone else noticed that this video's audio quality is fail.
@GuyChan3 WOW! i would HATE to be on a mission to "look up" the meaning of every song i like! Maynard has said before how he hates the over-analysis of tool's lyrics. Take a second to listen to the words...then figure out what it means to you! thats the beauty of art.
fucking masterpiece thats how you describe this song xD

Danny Carey (Tool's Drummer) said the subject of the song is "L. Ron Huibbard"... I think he'd probably know best....
