[vivianlippens]

I'd give my soul, my life, my self esteem no dollar at a time 4 One chance, one kiss on taste of you my MJ Keenan.

[amy21o]

listening to this song for the first time, I did like the rythem and lyrics used and i feel that this is about a person whom craves so much to think he/she wants to change or feel more of just a feeling inside. and willing to exchange what he/she posses in return of feel the complete pleasure (craving) also this feeling thats rewarded to him/her (dancer) has never felt or wasent born with this higher or lower power but knows for sure he/she want to continue for more.

[BlotBlackInk]

Actually they're not wrong, I was wrong.

[BlotBlackInk]

The song is about strippers

[BlotBlackInk]

These lyrics are wrong lol

[FranLesPaul]

Mary Magdalene is said to have been a prostitute...

[michalgorskifuck]

@FranLesPaul Don't you never insault the name of Magdalena!

[Forgotten17711771]

The beat and flow of this song would lend itself well to a stripper dancing to it. How ironic.

[Guitraboy]

There's always the random foreign comments in all TOOL videos..

[MammatoMaya]

right in two~ now there are some fricken intense lyrics

[bowmanfromthepast]

Maynard's a bad ass he can make a song with awesome instrumentals with a deep meaning

[buccofan]

These lyrics are powerful!

[nirvanaxander]

Quien es El hijo de puta que no le gusta?

[naomishaehedrick]

this song is a turn on lol



[lavu84]

@naomishaehedrick yeah it is:)

[MyStoiko]

quien ès èl hijo de puta que no le gusta?

[sgreene420]

I Heart Strippers!!!

[silentsmokeNIN]

maybe this song is not about stripper or mary FUK magdalene and maybe its about something personal of his that NONE of you fukkers know about. i doubt it, but you never know.

[ikkin69]

and they all talk about fucking lady gaga and judas - this is where the real controversy lies. I mean he is comparing mary magdalen and a stripper.

And by god, isnt it bloody genius?!

Noone can write like apc <3

[iloveVincentV]

i keep seeing the word motorcycle everywhere like i was reading the lyrics and i thought i saw one taste of u my motorcycle im like wtf that cant be right lol

[nevercaniloveagain]

@iloveVincentV wow that's just fantastical lol :)

[BoosieBoosieBoosie]

This song couldn't be more clear. Obviously it's about addiction. Though for him it may be 'china white' but the same can go for anything else people crave. People lose control over themselves and decide to let bad things happen :(

[505cloud]

If you don't believe me look at the song weak and powerless, he say another dragon down a hole, dragon refering to chasing the dragon which means smoking heroin and down a whole is shooting up. and "some one feed the monkey while i dig in search of "china white" as dracula as i aproach the bottom". the monkey on a back is a metaphor for addiction and he searches for china white like dracula becuase you feel like you cant live with out it.

[505cloud]

No this song is about Heroin addiction, black Modanna represents china white which is a very rare very potent strand of Heroin. China white is so amazing and every addict thinks of china white to be an earthly goddess. When you are addicted to heroin long enough you start to do anything for heroin, to get that perfect drug again. Hence "I'll sell my soul, my self-esteem, beyond compelled to throw this dollar down." 

[LiamXaoh]

The opening sounds like something Storytime did. The best instrumental heavy metal band to have never made it.

[OneNikolai]

Solstice Song? ... HEY there really is a BLACK MADONNA ... what? wow ... I din know that ... yeah search it ... MJK just wants to shatter the matter and he does it in the BEST WAY =]

[OldPazuzu]

Christ on the village bike...

[Rachelstirling666]

This rocks xxxx

[Rachelstirling666]

I love this song, i never heard it until today! xx

[Offtofindanotherway]

this is just perfect

[Alana8480]

I think this song is about a stripper and how humankind is so prone to losing self-control when tempted, but also about Mary Magdalene of the Bible. MJK has the wonderful ability to mesh meanings in his songs, kind of like in the song 'Brena', where he refers to both his wife (Jennifer Brena) and also the Holy Fountain of healing waters of legend by the same name.

[mbanda07]

@Alana8480 I agree. Also another wonderful thing about this song is that everybody can relate to this situation in which our visceral feelings take complete control of us and we no longer are different from each other... you know, like a state of mind. MJK really knows how to get deep into us because the feelings of the songs are so intimate everybody gets it

[ahigheztarget]

@Alana8480

Or it is just an excellent , vivid euphanism... I think you guys are looking at it too hard.

[Counterops34]

@Alana8480 I think your right.

[arodgerdodger]

@Alana8480 exactly what this song is about.with an edge though..but again you can't portray an edge in typing unless your type tripping

[caradesalamifrito]

@Alana8480

I like your interpretation... a broader meaning will be the spiritual power of sex, for both good and evil

[EpicRubies]

@Alana8480 i agree especially when you listen to "moving temple" and "holiest of altars" a definite reference to a female character - ergo the goddess

[stevensavio]

@Alana8480 How is it about Mary Magdalene? It's like saying, "My girlfriend looks like Jennifer Aniston" is a sentence about Jennifer Aniston. He may refer to her, and use her name as a symbol of virginity/holiness/beauty/what­ever.. but it's not actually about her. He's describing this stripper as holy (what better a name to bestow on her than Magdalena?). No biblical message included. Just a complex metaphor. So no, it's not two meanings. It's just one meaning with several descriptions.

[thatdudedave1]

Must be one sexY stripper... lol

[realkilla9]

YES!!!!!



[TeufelHund100]
