  • Guys, please. It's paralyzed or paralysed. The "i" is making my brain hurt.

  • love tool, love the idiots inhabiting our planet clinging to outdated mythologies concerning such a wide variety of beliefs and the offense they take at anyone talking about them in a manner they find unacceptable, just sheep, waiting to be found by a lion....anyone up for mutton? ;)

  • "jesus died for somebody's sins,but not mine"-patti smith

  • Comment removed

  • Jesus was a nice guy how can you possibly hate on him?

  • @Mobius205 cause we didnt ask him to doe for our sins, why should we feel indebted to him

  • a potentially slanderous wording wrapped up in a pretty little bow...I f-n love it...my life summed up in a tumultuous painting.

  • The song was to his paralized mother who was a devout christian. She remaind paralized for 10,000 days after which she passed way.

  • @lazlo35 Out of all the posts i have seen reguarding this song. You were the only one i have seen that actually has the actual meaning behind the song.

  • Maybe some people are offended by people that talk about god. Everyone is entitled to their own thoughts Maynard Keenan is a genius and i respect him and love his music.

  • If anyone truly finds this offensive, let me say something. The writer of this song wrote this because his mother was paralyzed for 10,000 days before she finally died. She never lost faith in her Christianity, and yet was subject to the worst of conditions. If anyone here is offensive, it's God.

  • honestly, this song came about during the peak of Marilyn Manson fame and was the first time i became fully aware of anything satanic. im not giving you shit, Abitar70. this song rocks. but try to understand the human condition: people hear a hard rock song with aggressively sung lyrics containing "Jesus Christ" in it, and automatically have a gripe... i did, but now i don't. i Love the lord. that's all that matters.

  • oi vey. Listen Christian folks..all you hear is 'fuck your God, your Lord, your Christ..' and immediately you get all bent out of shape and start throwing stones. Listen to the lyrics, or read them rather-hell they're right in front of you...it's about his mom who was paralyzed from a stroke and she never lost faith in God and it pissed Maynard off because 'God' did this to her. I'd feel the same way if it was my mom.

  • woh this guy is trying to make me sound hirid by thinking this is offensive

  • Those who believe absurdities will commit atrocities

    History teaches us that no other cause has brought more death than the word of god.

    That which can be asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence.

    Nine out of 10 suicide bombers agree: God is Great

    Religion is a virus and knowledge is the cure

    Instead of being" born again" why not just grow up?

    You can be good without god

    There's only 1 thing God lacks, and that's existence.

    

  • Is time for people of reason to raise up and finish all this. Ridiculous­, idiotic religions all of them. This people have done way to much damage in the name of imaginary gods.

    The Commandments Moses forgot:1)Thou shalt not rape 2)Thou shalt not keep slaves 3)Thou shalt not have sex with children 4)Thou shalt not kill anyone for their religious beliefs. And...5)Thou shalt not profit from the beliefs of others...

  • I don't believe in God because I don't believe in Mother Goose

    Spend a day in a pediatric cancer ward and then tell me "god is real

    To Most Christians, the Bible is like a software license. Nobody actually reads it. They just scroll to the bottom and click "I agree.

    Science flies you to the moon. Religion flies you into buildings

  • remindes me of an argument between an atheist and a christian.

  • Fucking kick ass song.....

  • Great Ass Song. <3 c':

  • I love how ignorant assholes try and dictate every single word in the lyrics of songs. Just shut up and enjoy the music. This is a great song. I'm sure you'll appreciate it more if you don't try to analyze everything. Because, sorry to burst your bubble, but you're not Maynard.

  • @tannerpanda77 Without lyrics your just left with a singer that sounds like one of "Peanuts parents." Hahaha!

  • Wow, Maynard's an asshole.... not because he's offending Christians, but because the song is about how his Mom was a Christian. He wrote all about feeling sad after she died, but this makes it seem like he was an ass to her when she was alive. If there's one thing I hate it's when people make fun of other people's beliefs. Cool music though.

  • @Zeppelinfan100100 i usually hate when people try to dictate what a piece of art means, like its supposed to mean the same to everyone, but, from Maynard's perspective, this song is about how when her mother was a christian she got sick, and all of her christian friends thought she deserved it because she had sinned, so this is about her friends being an ass to her

  • @TheMoshedPotatoes Along with the fact that she struggled with cancer her whole life, and she was in fact a fantastic women, and thats also part.

  • @Zeppelinfan100100 Ha actually loved his mother dearly, she struggled with cancer, and was an amazing women, when she died he was pissed because she was a christian and always struggled with cancer, so he's practiclly saying that he doesn't understand if there was a god how could he let you suffer?

  • @JohnnyG3v12 She was diagnosed with a debilitating disease. Not cancer though.

  • @Zeppelinfan100100 WOw, you just don't get it do you? He was damned pissed off that his mom suffered like she did, from her disease and at the hands of her fellow Christians, it is said that he loved and respected his mom very much - I don't think he is making fun of her, it's the intolerant people she aligned herself with and their supposed "Blind faith" and closed mindedness that he questions.

  • This is offensive towards christians, and catholics.. Take it down..

  • omg this is horrible

  • What does it say about Christianity when Christians are praising this song?

  • OMG we got a wizard in the house... AND SHE'S TELLING OTHER PEOPLE THEY'RE STUPID!! LMFAO thanks for making my day :''''))) ITS SO FUNNY I"M CRYING!!

  • @Themusicisalligot Don't laugh too loud; the fact that you are a human being living a life on this planet is amazing enough, you don't know what is and isn't . you don't know what you're talking about, and what's stupid is calling a witch "stupid", you should watch your back! Just saying...you might want to be respectful of all positive beliefs.

  • I am a former Christian and now am Wiccan and this song said everything I EVER believed about christianity. Never question "Why" gtfo of here.That's How they keep you brainwashed this is the "Right" way. My Goddess is more powerful and alive, she never died, and never will. Christians=0 Wiccans=1 oh lookit. I won. yay! xD

  • @catedipome me too! my family forced religion down my throat and i got sick of it. a friend is a Wiccan and told me about it and i started getting into it and i realize everything now.The Goddess is the way to go man.

  • thumb up for the descritpion writer :D

  • Religion divides spirituality......this song rocks...ive been to prison an to church...we put labels on things for man to understand...instead of just following the light

  • @dtexas72 oh yea....ZAP!

  • Nice job spelling paralyzed, asshole

  • @kyoukan102 You're right, my entire point is fawlty because I misspelled a single word. You do realise that you're the narrow-minded of us, don't you?

  • His mom's name was JUDITH you stupid bible beater!!

  • @jrunkndizzy I'm sorry to be honest with you, but her name was Judith Marie Keenan. And since we're both right, I won't beat you with a bible ;P

  • I'm a Christian, and I approve of this song.

    I really don't see what everybody's so upset about. Maynard wrote this song, because he couldn't understand why God would let a devoted Christian like his mother, Marie, have a cerebral and lie paralized for so long, only to lead to her death. It's perfectly reasonable to question that, but as a Christian myself, I believe it lead her to a better place.

    This song is not about hate for Christians, but anger and sorrow for losing somebody dear to you.

  • @SanityIsForTheWeak0 Sorry, his mother's name was Judith. Not starting an argument but "I," strong emphasis on I, think it is telling his hatred to God. I agree that it is about anger and sorrow that he lost someone dear to him, but he is angry at God for taking someone from him who did nothing. He gave death to someone who didn't deserve it. Just my view on it. :)

  • @liox2597 Yea, I just google searched, and you're right, her name is Judith. I thought it was Marie, since the song 'Wings for Marie' refers to her well. My bad :)

    Anyways, I see your point, but notice he doesn't even talk to God himself. He talks to a 'you', who I'd assume is Judith. You can see it two ways really: he doesn't talk to God, because he doesn't believe in him. Or that he's mad at his mother for keeping faith even after being paralized and sentenced to death (lyrically speaking).

  • @SanityIsForTheWeak0 Yeah, I understand where you're coming from. The lyrics are vague.

  • who cares about religion this song rocks

  • @mrhankins00 Nice post man.

  • I was actually interested in maybe listening to their albums until I saw and heard this blasphemist filth.

  • @TKRILLY its not really blaspheme it not really shit about god the meaning is about his mother judith slowly losing all function and never losing her faith all praising god even though she knew she was dieing

  • Jesus Christ died cause you touch yourself at night

  • @wind2040 Hell, I'll touch myself twice just to make sure.

  • @wind2040 LMAO

  • I always love to listen to this right before i go to church...God is an asshole but he does work everything out to some good its just that it is very insignificant to alot

  • Are they the tool? Or maybe, the same singer? his voice seems familiar

  • @MikelBF2 It's Maynard James Keenan, The lead singer from Tool, (I dont know how to spell his second name), but yes, the same singer, but different band members, he writes all of this when Tool are on a break with other band members when they are also on a break.

  • @ThePickedy actually afaik most lyrics are written by Billy Howerdel, this guy doesn't get credit he deserves.. D:

  • Fuck this shit. try walking past me attacking my king.. ugh couldnt listen to three seconds of this garbage

  • @mrhankins00 nobody asked you to listen to it or for your opion "FUCK YOUR KING!"

  • 3:13-3:30...challenge anyone to sing that part;) Oh, and nice reading some of the bs conversation/comments with all these Tool "lyrics" vids;)

  • People are flawed and corruptible, people made religion, therefore religion is flawed and corruptible.

  • @Themusicisalligot corrupted past tense son

  • Song was made because his mom suffered and died from cancer for 10,000 days and he wants to know if there is a god why he did that.

  • This song kicks ass enough said....now lets get highXD

  • @ONamora1 K dude, lose everyone you know, everything you have, have both your legs and arms cut off and we will see how much your story changes. You act like your invulnerable or something, clearly you've had an easy life.

  • @Themusicisalligot

    what are you suggesting then ? well i just say swearing at god is a bad option to solve problems - it will make things only worse, you wont feel any relief- only more depression, - im not a fanatic :) but it goes away faster and easier if you thank Him for the trouble you have.

    Actually god gives us troubles so that we wake up and become stronger !

    I'm not saying its easy to go through tough times.

    and you can't say i had a easy life - coz you don't know it

  • @ONamora1 dude what the fuck is wrong with you .......

  • @ACRCTsual  ???

    wtf

    Nothing - what do you want ?

  • I can listen to this song all day...

  • So your saying everyone deserves to be punished for what Jews did 2000 years? Wow you act like you were the one strewn up on the cross. Way to hold a grudge... 

  • @Themusicisalligot

    no - I'm saying we should not complain about everything like bitches - Lord never promised that they would necessarily have fun in this world. on the contrary - he said if you follow me you may get a ton of trouble just like Jesus.

    Everyone's parents will die sooner or later. That is sad but true. and death is just the beginning it is not the end.

    he has no clue what it means to be abandoned by God. im sure he can't even imagine how it feels.

  • @Onamora What do children do to deserve cancer? What did his mom do to deserve a stroke that left her paralyzed for life? What did the people do in India and Japan to deserve huge tsunamis killing thousands? Not to mention countless other terrible things that happen to nice people. Yet we still thank and praise god? And the bible says we go through this to test are faith in him??? WTF!!!?! Are you kidding?? If he loves us why would he torture so many people just to test our faith?

  • @Themusicisalligot

    What did Jesus do that deserved him to be killed on the cross ?

  • @Onamora1 oh that's why my shoes keep getting ruined damn demons ;(

  • man, alot to comment here one point most have overlooked is that god(in the sense of this song) actually did it for maynard. What mother doesn't have the dream of her son becomming some great big millionare known around the world. And most of maynards lyrics come from his mothers 27yr coma and how he has learned to live with the acceptance of life without her being there. He was 11 when she fell into coma, and he pulled the plug 10,000 days later. what would he sing about if that never happened?

  • @gerryw2camaro a lot of the lyrics -yes...Most of them?...No...big inspiration though....

  • That is one big misunderstanding.

    People don't understand very basic things about Christianity if they had someone by them that could do just a little explanation ! it is very sad to see such confusion:(

    his swearing at him - no wonder his music did not heal him as he said in his interview.

    God does no evil - it is when a person does some wrong things (he may not even think that they are wrong) when he departs himself from Him and becomes easy pray for demonic spirits that tortures his sole

  • @ONamora1 I'm sorry but my troll meter just flew to a fucking place where black people were nice respectable people (thats a pretty far fetched thing)

  • Religion (Y). I can write stories too. He didn't need to know, he wanted to.

  • You take a planet...with 8 billion bad apes on it. It's bound to take care of it's self, just like an immune system. Ever swatted at a mosquito or fly? Same concept. They will keep coming back until they are dead. And only when they are all gone, will the biting stop. So keep feasting. Time for a heart attack soon.

  • Hurray he's really doing it, all for us! It only gets better people. Time is the fastest thing going. One moment i was being born ...now I'm here. I cant feel anything in between only remember small bits. Distracted or what? Nah... He's just helping us all out. Thats why we have weapons. To assure happiness! He's got a really great plan working for him. Seems the king will soon have no castle to rule.

  • this song is completely genius. a perfect song.

  • there is no god. Anyone that can prove me wrong do it. Untill then shut the fuck up with the babble of the magical guy in the sky

  • FUCK YOUR GOD!!!!

  • i just think its funny that they make a big deal about athiest music being posted- its not like we listen to their religious songs then bitch about how offended we are XD

  • I am SO not getting into the middle of this...all I have to say is "Amen, brotha...AMEN!" Bad azz song whether you believe in God/religion or not. I admit that I get a little uneasy when listening to Eulogy...but it doesn't stop me!!! It's one of my favs by Maynard. And IF there is a hell...people...I kinda don't think you'll go there just for listening to Tool or A Perfect Circle! Press the stop button...move on & shut up!!!!!

  • Shooting another point of view: I went to a church that had me narrow minded and judgemental of anything that would say anything like this. BUT: I am still Christian (or hope I am), and from applying Tool's lyrics to this song, I see it in a differnt light. I see it like Isaiah, which I relate frequently to Tool (AEnima, Eulogy, etc..) because they say pretty much the same thing. I take it as referring to psycho-religious people who "damn their neighbor in the name of God"

  • Why do people go straight for Christianity? I never hear anyone bash on people that believe in blowing themselves up and killing others in the name of their god.

  • @davidg1024 Because this song directly references christianity. Go find a video that sings about towel heads blowing people up and you will likely find those type of comments.

  • Always I read discussions about religion whether God exist or not, if atheist's have the reason or not. To me both are stupid intolerants.

  • @s1462 u r a fucking retard dipshit. I hope you die and if for some god forsaken reason chrishtianity is real i will be sure to be your demon to bring you pain for eternity.

  • *reads the description*

    *laughs*

    Thanks for the comedy.

  • Tim Tebow this song is dedicated to and your god-loving-idiot-fucking-fans. FUCK YOUR GOD!

  • @s1462 We had a good run. Can't win them all.

  • Your description nails it!!! Fuck off if you dont like the song!

  • The description sounds like a Les Claypool rant... lol

  • what i dont understand is why the fuck people care, when i was a devout christian i fucking loved TOOL, and a Perfect Circle and i really liked this song, people need to stop bitching. go bitch at rapists and murderers they need your religious bull shit more than we do.

  • @michahm96 and they are loved by religion

  • @gielomir3 EXACTLY... fuck society

  • @michahm96 In religion blasphemy is a VERY serious offense, one of the worst. And I think saying "fuck your God" would count as blasphemy. :) Haha!

  • @cycodevilboy very true, but if your god needs to get fucked then fuck him

  • @michahm96 Haha! Right.. Your first sentence said "what I don't understad is why the fuck people care" and I was telling you why people care. :) I never said that I cared.

  • No smiles, No frowns.

    Just Poker Face!

    RIGHT ON DUDE!!!

  • i am sure this is about his mother

  • @Michael714AHM it is!

  • @Michael1714AHM Ya THINK?

  • @Michael714AHM it is

  • I'm tired of this bitching. Look not everyone has to believe what you believe not everyone is the same.

  • Thumbs up if you knew after the vid people were freakin out about relgion

  • This will always be one of my most favorite songs. <3 Pluse the discription is so very true and epic!

  • Why can't you just like the song... If you don't like it then don't listen to it. Oh and thumbs way way up to Arbitar79 :) It's all about the music, that's the only thing that makes sense anymore...

  • for one stop making homophobic remarks and not once dose the christen bible make eny statement of hell being real that concept was made by the Vatican at around 1413 saying if you don't pay your dead relatives way to haven they wood go to a place of burning torment AKA hell. PS learn to fucking spell

  • @jrmarshall2014yahoo im not homophobic so those words hold totally different meanings to me thn they do to u. n the bible actually mentions hell over 3x more than heaven. yes it my not call it, "hell" thts the name we've given it but it does mention a horrible PLACE for the doomed, wicket, and unsaved. and once again i believed i said."IF!" im right. tht means theoretically dumbass. n its youtube not a spelling class so get over it. i cut my words short so it doent go over.

  • oh n i am Christian so is my girlfriend n we both love this song...llove you God but u r a prick

  • listening to this 10minutes before im out to church....God is a prick but he does work everything to the better but its just like "what the the fuck?" when he causes an earthquake just to get a couple witnessing Christians to Japan n other examples...I believew there is a God but he is a prick but He gave His son for us...accept Him or not (i hope you do) but i cant force so im not gonna say REPENT LEST YE PERISH INTO THE DEPTHS OF HELL cus yall athiests probly dont believe in Gods power to damn

  • Fuck your god. Fuck all religion. Fuck the Bible. It's religion that started WW2. And the Middle East conflict.

  • Fuck christianity... a big lie.

  • @cuthbertallbad It isn't though. Listen more closely to the lyrics. It's just poetry turned to shit and dogma by people who don't get poetry. He did it all for you. Don't ask him why, it's your life.

  • @cuthbertallbad

    So as any other religion.

  • @cuthbertallbad Aye, but let them believe in what they want...

  • @cuthbertallbad How. . . shallow.

  • @cuthbertallbad ...a big con

  • 666 likes! Please let it stay this way and like my comment instead :)

  • soo inflammatory! I LOVE IT! LOL...I've always like this song...but I never knew that is what they were talking about... :P

  • good song awesome

  • I believe in punctuation, spelling and literacy… Maybe if those of you who are getting so damn uptight about the lyrics believed in remedial English your complaints would have merit. Otherwise, your writing skills remind me of a psycho sputtering consonants at a computer screen. Thumbs up on the video/song though ;-)

  • I love these lyrics. He did a great job of capturing how he felt about his mother's illness.

  • i say fuck all of you stupid fuckers with your stupid fucking god and your stupid fucking bitch ass religions I believe in one thing and one thing only science if any fucking dumbass on this blog can tell me one fact in the bible with proof then I will take this back but if I disprove it then I mean it sevenfold

  • @psycic55, I think this song is awesome because it reminds me of how much hate he has while the 1 he sings about is crippled & loves Jesus.

    Reminds me of 1s full of hate in Revelation 11:8-15 known as Muslims who will kill all Jews & Christians (2 witnesses). Jesus gathers 2 witnesses to Him. In Genesis 49:10 it is the Muslims bringing Shiloh only to those of Judah which causes God to gather them. Same story except for more detail in Revelation & only 1 witness mentioned in Genesis.

  • @psycic55 stop talking please no one cares

  • I believe in God, but I love when he says "Fuck Your God" ... 'cuz no everyone has to think the same, every person is a different persspective, even my way of believing in God is different than everyone else ... It's fun to be a human, let's not get too serious just because of our different believes ... btw this song is EPIC

  • @caritoj19 right!?believe what you want to.i think our society would be better as a whole if could talk about our beliefs instead of pushing them on others.Amen.

  • @metelmania911 AMEN for sure

  • i pray to Maynard.

  • Oh, what would we really do to God if He ever dared to show His face here.

  • I love this song it has so much truth to it. U xtians need to wake up cause how can you love a god that wants you to burn forever and ever for a sin. How can that be a loving god? Ask the American Indians about xtian love.

  • @thun58 ur an idiot. mayb us CHRISTians love a God who dosnt want us to burn but loves us and sacrificed his son so we wouldnt hav to burn and forgave us for our sin, get ur facts straight. and if u youtubers r gunna cry about my comment thn get over it n stop reading it and enjoy the music bc its a very good song. n im not crying over this song bc i like it n i take no offense to this bc i understand maynards opinion n i pity him for it. after all there just lyrics. thuns just a dumbass

  • @morecash9 fuck your Christ.

  • @lithium2370 nice comeback... just seriously dont even bother getting in my conversation. ur a waste of my time...

  • @morecash9 then why did u waste the time and reply lmao. somthing tells me your time is wasted anyways praying.

  • @lithium2370 har har har. thts hilarious u should b a comedian. n don't wrry about y i wasted my time replying to u... its none of ur concern u nosy bastard. but y dont u do the world a favor n kill ur self n c if u go to hell or not... prove ur point once and for all. but u won't, u hav no balls. as i said... a waste of my time...

  • @morecash9

    You first, I insist. Cuz you sound like you got the balls. Cuz you talk like a badazz on youtube, You must be hard.

  • @WhatYouWantInSpadez y do u keep talking about my balls u fag. n i dont need to prove my point, im set. bc if u guys r right thn nothing happends. absolutely nothing i just lived my life the way i chose to. n u lived the way u chose to. (no harm with tht) but! if!!! im right all u guys r screwed n will b tormented every day, day and night forever an ever until u beg for death n never receive it. so, as i said. im good. r u? ur the one who needs to prove ur point, queer.

  • @morecash9 Actually, if you're right, then you're going to at least get SOME penalty for treating others like shit and trying to force your religion on others. I mean, for god's sake, whatever happened to "Love thy neighbor"?

  • @zoezoewriter Thank You! seriously ur the most most down to earth commenter on here! n ur right. im not the best person to ever live. ha! far from tht actually. i try to work on tht. not the best person to represent Christians. i know it,n im ashamed, but these comments r just me trying to defend myself n stand up for wat i believe in unfortunately by attacking others.but. i have NEVER forced anybody into something they didnt want to do, i always respected other peoples thoughts.

  • @morecash9 Hnn... Okay then. Thank you.

  • @lithium2370 hey, Christ was cool. It's his dad who needs to die.

  • @morecash9 your the idiot u need to read your history boy. calling me a dumbass is that the best xtian love u show me grow up little boy and read

  • @thun58 haha! i already know my history... im far more educated than ur srry ass! im srry ur mother didnt love u enough to tell u the truth... n if u dont like my language thn go cry about it, go write a sad poem in ur diary n get over it... stop being a murmuring bitch. ok? can u do tht princess? thx. n im not a "little boy" u may b older thn me u creep, but im defiantly far more mature thn u... dont b all pissed off at me because a tootsie roll makes ur dick look small.

  • @morecash9 you were talking about how mature you are then u mentioned dicks.

  • @lithium2370 and ur point is?.... i never said i was the most mature person on the planet.... tht would b very boring. i just clearly said i was more mature thn thun... take a reading class dumbass.

  • all I have to say is that Maynard James Keenan is just another genious with Michigan roots who has beeen underrated and misunderstood most of his brilliant career...keep it up, you are most likely an angel...

  • i'm Catholic...i LOVE this song.

  • I'm a true christian, this is just good music... with a true message within... bottom line...

  • I love this song!! Why do people give a shit what he says about that rat bastard pig fucking god. If you don't like the song don't fucking listen to it. jesus fucking people get a life or get your head out of your ass.when comes to fucking religion.

  • how did the president even get involved in the comments? XD

  • CAN WE PLEASE SHUT UP ABOUT RELIGION AND WHO THE FUCKING PRESIDENT WILL BE?! JUST SIT AND ENJOY THIS AMAZING MUSIC!!!!!!!!! thankyou :)

  • @xXCupcakeMurderXx

    You're the smartest person I've seen on these posts in a long time..lol.Thumbs up!!
