This is about something real. This is emotion, art, love, hate. This is, in my opinion, what music is supposed to be. It's the artists song. so I guess my opinion shouldn't even matter. but if I hear someone say that owl city or some other band is better than tool one more time....I'm gonna snap!
lmfao@hj7397 "That's cool, dude. You tell me what Owl City's new single is, and I'll tell you what a vagina feels like." Didn't read enough posts to find out who or why you were arguing with but that's some funny shit!!
the good thing about 'art' originating in our nihilistic age is that it can be taken to be anything. I prefer to see this song as a metaphor for porn addiction :) It makes sense, and I'm sure more guys can relate to that, and would prefer to relate to that, instead of the horror of prison rape.
I think it's about someone going in the complete wrong direction and becoming addicted to a sadistic act like child rape... "For one sweet moment I am whole"
@daddysbabe17 Coming from a Tool addict to another, you should respect other peoples music. Like or not, it's there, and its always going to be there. And instead of complaining to peolple about a band, why don't you tell people how great tool is. You can always convert those muse fans right?
Do people really not understand this song is a metaphor for the cycle of abuse? "They were abused, they'll abuse me, I'll abuse, they'll abuse, they're abused will abuse" and noone's better than anyone else.
I like early Tool. It seems to be less about time signatures and originality and more about playing what they felt. And still being original, of course.
power is the first thing that comes to mind when i hear this song for the first time knowing what the title is. Just had a burnt cd that said undertow, never bought the album. Power comes from the songs energy and its in ur face subject matter about, the cycles of physical abuse. Power is also the driving force behind many abuse cases, the 1 w it vs the 1 wo it. Its a very powerful message, the subject of abuse is so terrifing to think bout, the reality of the truth must come out though.
why do all other tool fans think that they are fucking certified psychologists,scholars, and mystics. What, because this band decided to publicize some of their ideas?
Um Prison Sex? How can it not strike you that this is about child abuse? The child is in a 'prison' meaning he can't escape he is trapped shall we say in that body as he/she is being molested.
this song is about being molested as a child. don't take the title of the song so literally ya fuckin morons. that's why all of the music produced after this era SUCKED. BC you're all so fuckin dim-witted.
@melfaery child molestation you say? i seem to remember back in about 94' one of them said it was told through the point of view of an abuser(and partially through the abusee) of harming others to make you feel better or just to gain power. not only about child molestation
@lunarsiege The song speaks of how child molestation unfortunately tends to be cyclical. Those who are abused often abuse others. The singer/songwriter was himself molested as a child. Are you familiar with the lyrics? It's obviously NOT told from the abuser's point of view.
@TotalyC09 Congrats to tool for diving deeper than most... But it just makes me sad that bands like Skinny Puppy,NON/Boyd Rice,Throbbing Gristle,COIL,Leaether Strip..etc The groups that inspired Ministry,NIN and Tool are being looked over and ignored. I mean,if tool lyrics are considered "deep"..then Skinny Puppy lyrics are like the fucking Dead Sea Scrolls.
I feel like a snob. I like Tool, I like that they challenge the listener to look deeper not only at their music but also the world around them. I consider Tool to be a Thinking Man's rock band. But then I look around and see guys that don't know the difference between Fibonacci, Planke and LaVey headbanging to songs about internal contemplation. Dumb jocks who teabag nerds during the day fist-bumping to "Sober", that song about "sleeping all day 'cause you have a hangover." Maybe I'm a snob.
what the fuck! i get done with the song and i look at the sugestions, katy parry firework what the fucking fuck is that shit doing on a fucking tool song
@MyReturningNightmare It's a sculpture of a ribcage (abstract obviously) that was done by the guitarist, Adam Jones (who also directed this video among many of their others)
@redxile666 Well, most people can create their own meaning for a song. Tool kind of throws in an obvious meaning though. (For the people of lesser intelligence I guess)
@Chesenips980 Personally, I think it's more just personal preference.
I've never been a fan of stuff that is left open ended like Inception or shit like that, but I also don't like being treated like an idiot.
I like stuff like this, Monty Python, South Park that all has metaphorical undertones that are conveying a point that is obvious if you have the intelligence to understand the top layer and get to the good stuff.

@smac3221 Thats a real breakdown. I hate how metal core bands took a breakdown and turned it into the most generic things in music ever. "Hi im a metalcore kid. Im so Br00tal, and luv breakdownz cuz they are so heavy. open palm muting ftw!"
"I have found some kind of temporary sanity in this shit, blood, and cum on hands" Thats the most amazingly most brutal lyric you will ever hear.
