Who cares what it was meant to say, how to you interpret it? relationships | Reviewer: diddly | 12/13/08 If you read up on interviews and how the band went through a rough and hard process during lateralus, and got fed up with each other and threatened to break up, I think this song is about precisely that. They say themselves that the conflict between their musical taste makes their music better, a la "But the struggling is worth it, finding beauty in the dissonance". They struggle with each other to compromise and create better music. "Between supposed lovers/brother", as in between the band members. "I know the pieces fir cuz I watched them fall away" - They say their songwriting is a long process of experimenting and throwing ideas away and so on, as in, watching the pieces of the song fall away so that in the end they know that they fit to create this awesome song. Wikipedia says.... | Reviewer: Anonymous | 11/28/08 In an interview with NY Rock, Keenan explained, "Everything we release with Tool is inspired by our music. It doesn't matter if it is a video or if it's lyrics. The lyrics for "Schism" are nothing more than my interpretation of the music."

It is about conflict in the world in general, and how our judgements divide society and fabricate differences between us when we are really all one species. It is not pure hatred of the human race at all; rather it is an admonishing, a reminder that individuals cannot exist without society and vice versa. my opinion | Reviewer: butrint | 9/3/08 its about friends and family that when they grow up they don't talk to each other."I know the pieces fit cause I watched them tumble down" when everyone was young saw their parents and friends on a good relationship and broke down when they grow up yanno... | Reviewer: Anonymous | 8/22/08 somebody told me a while back that the song was about the separation of church and state. And if you think about it, it makes sense. But then again, the song can mean whatever you want it to, I guess :-) Title? | Reviewer: Alexis | 8/24/08 maybe, but i think that a 'relationship' can go alot deeper than most people think. people have been driven from sanity, commited suicide, cut off limbs, ect. i would assume ryan to be a guy, which is probobaly why a simple 'relationship' wouldn't mean so much to you. no offense or anything, but its a proven fact. though there are exceptions, schism being one example. so... | Reviewer: roxy | 8/22/08 somebody told me a while back that the song was about the separation of church and state.

Just because somebody isn't religious doesn't mean they don't have religious views... That's such a ridiculous assertion to make. You seem to be claiming that the lyrics are straight forward when obviously they aren't... if they were then an idiot like yourself wouldn't have them completely wrong.
