Little Child | Reviewer: Kenneth | 5/16/07 Maynard is nothing more than a child... god takes loved ones away all the time! He should have looked at his mothers strength in the Lord as a positive instead of a negative! Instead of seeing his mothers love for Christ and using that to build his relationship with God, he curses him. I once like this band, they sound great! but there alot of hate inside of them... idiots. | Reviewer: Anonymous | 5/16/07 was this song not an april fools joke.. maynards christian. this song is so good.. | Reviewer: jimmy hoffa | 5/11/07 as well as almost every maynard song he has ever produced... have you heard rosetta stoned? wings for marie, all 3 parts..? ITS HIS MOM | Reviewer: Cody Hansen | 5/4/07 judith is the name of his mother who was in fact paralyzed in an "ACT OF GOD" the message is why put our faith in a god with such a sick sense of humor eyebrows up | Reviewer: erik | 4/29/07 i think this song is great because it alleviates a certain shroud of guilt. 'its not like you killed someone...' is a very powerful reminder that we are free from the guilt of christian dogma. i think this is illustrated well by the reality of his mom in a wheelchair, which can metaphorically represent the 'paralyzed' state of Lifestyle Guilt. thats just my perception of it. Maynard is a genious | Reviewer: TOOLFAN | 4/24/07 I'd just like to add... you should read all of maynards lyrics before casting judgement upon him. Personally I think he is the greatest lyrical artist EVER>. You can read his tool lyrics in full at toolshed.down.net read from the Aenima album 'Eulogy' it is another 'seemingly' christian basher song. it is wonderful, I think Maynard wants people to say "what the fuck"!?? when they read his lyrics. He is pure genious. thanks for reading my dumb ass opinion!! have a shitty day :) The Truth | Reviewer: Jayson | 4/1/07 simon mc grath you are a complete moron. Though, you are absolutely right about what the song is about. His name is not Mayland dumbass. It's Maynard James Keenan. FOR THE FINAL TIME JUDITH MARIE IS HIS MOTHER! Nothing about religious stockholm syndrome or anything of the sort. His Mother was paralyzed and a deep christian and took it as a test. She didn't get angry at all and kept her faith even when she was about to die. The song is about him pretty much losing faith in God and the way He works. Understand? So he wrote about her in the song "Judith". Then again in the new album Wings For Marie (Pt 1) ad 10,000 Days (Wings pt 2) For those of you who don't know, Marie is Judith's middle name. Hope that clarifies everything for you tool's. Mother | Reviewer: Anonymous | 3/29/07 This song is clearly questioning his mother's devotion to religion. It really makes me think of him as a little boy [an eleven year old, I guess?] saying, "Why, Mom? Why? Why did this happen to you?" It's really very depressing. I see it as Maynard isn't even bitching about religion, but telling his mother to break down and get angry instead of simply having faith. What's more interesting is this: Read the lyrics to Jimmy, Judith, and Wings for Marie [parts I and II]. Think Outside the Box | Reviewer: Asante | 3/24/07 The song is obviously more pro-Christian than anything; sort of a respectful tribute to his mother. I think Maynard's "angry words" are supposed to represent the voices of all the people that challenged his mother for her continued faith after her paralysis. The lyrics "it's not like you killed someone, it's not like you drove a hateful spear into HIS side," are actually pointing out that historically Jesus WAS killed, and there WAS a spear driven into his side just after he died to confirm that he was, in fact, dead. Those are points that I think a lot of people miss if they don't know the history. These lyrics being directly followed by "He did it all for you," seem to be Maynard's response to all those angry voices that cannot understand a Christian's devotion. He is defending his mother's faithful dedication by pointing out the basis of Christianity, that Jesus suffered tremendously, and was killed just to save us from our sins. He brings this point home at the end of the song by saying "talk to Jesus Christ as if he knows the reasons why he did it all for you" meaning, Jesus went through all that pain and suffering, and for what? Leading the listener to the answer: Because he loves you..."He did it ALL for YOU." Just by reading the lyrics, you see that this is the single most repeated and emphasized part of this song.
