| | Sober Lyrics Artist(Band):Tool
shrouding every step I take, making every promise empty, pointing every finger at me. Waiting like a stalking butler who upon the finger rests. Murder now the path is must we just because the son has come. Jesus, won't you fucking whistle something but the past and done? (x2) Why can we not be sober? I just want to start this over. Why can't we dream forever? I just want to start things over. I am just a worthless liar. I am just an imbecile. I will only complicate you. Trust in me and fall as well. I will find a center in you. I will chew it up and leave, I will work to elevate you just enough to bring you down. Mother Mary won't you whisper something but the past and done. (x2) Why can we not be sober? I Just want to start this over. Why can't we sleep forever? I Just want to start things over. I am just a worthless liar. I am just an imbecile. I will only complicate you. Trust in me and fall as well. I will find a center in you. I will chew it up and leave. Trust me. Trust me. Trust me. Trust me. Trust Me. Why can we not be sober? I Just want to start things over. Why can't we sleep forever? I Just want to start this over. I want what I want. I want what I want. I want what I want. I want what I want.

Review about Sober Motivation is my anti-drug | Reviewer: Epistemology | 10/26/09 The song is about how addiction (whether it be phsyical or psychological dependence) has a hold on some people that can be almost personifiable. Not necessarily pro-drug or anti-drug, just that drugs and alcohol (or in this case, general desire) can have a hold on people Clearly, | Reviewer: Nikola | 10/3/09 It's about addiction, and no point talking about that anymore. Everybody who has been addicted to drugs and alcohol knows what every word in this song means. And every word is sooooooo heavy and sad. Tool is pointing that such kind of hell like substance missuse is really not necessery in life. So, you speak for the artist? | Reviewer: Anonymous | 9/17/09 Oh you sooooo wise bloggers. Song is about addiction, alcohol, drugs, whatever, there really is no difference, plain and simple. Why make things so complicated? It could be about ice cream and Jesus favorite flavor. Trust me, trust me, trust me.............. Hellion. | Reviewer: Anonymous | 9/8/09 Clearly he isn't religeous. Listen to the song Judith. How he stats that God $%&ed his Mother over and how he questions her faith still after what has happenned. Please research a bit before assuming things. you must have been so high... | Reviewer: Kfed | 8/22/09 Tool's sober is definetely about DRUGS. It has to do with the experience of first starting into drugs and the aftermath it leads...once a person's denial sets in.....people all think they can handle it...until they can't. aww, so adorable | Reviewer: just thinkin'... | 7/1/09 haha, look at ya'll, sounding so smart... if an interview with the band itself says the song relates to art, then it does. maybe the close comparison with religion is just a coincidence. people can relate just about ANYTHING to religion... im not against any form of religion, i'm just puttin' my point out there. haha, i friggin' LOVE this song!!!! Religious Metaphor | Reviewer: Doc | 3/18/09 Heres my take on it, Maynard is here perhaps wondering about if there is a higher power thinking that if it does indeed exist it should show that it does exist. "Jesus won't you f****** Wistle." its quite clear that this is just plain ridiculous. If Maynard had any thought that a higher power might possibly exist, don't you think he would be a bit scared to challenge it using such strong profanity? I think he is saying that lack of sobriety is to be perhaps, a religion nut, and that sobriety is to be what he might call free of religion. Again, my take is that he is on the dangerous side of religion here, and if anything better safe than sorry. Although Tool is clearly a band of masterpiece on an instrumental level, I find their lyrics aggresive like in an instance like this. I think Maynard is basically saying that escape from religion is escape from a drug and it is to be sober to be without it. Again just my personal interpretation... It's NOT about religion - Do you people read? | Reviewer: Doug | 3/4/09 I love the way every song is about the alleged atrocities that have come from religion blah-diddy-blah-diddy-blah - People - we get it, you got spanked by a nun once... get the hell over it. This song was explained in an interview with the band and has to do with an artist they knew who could only do his art wasted and eventually he ended up in a nut house. God deliver me from the Christaphobic! It's true art... | Reviewer: Shane | 1/15/09 I was reading through these as a result of just "stumbling" on to them and all I have to say, as a die-hard Tool/Perfect Circle fan, is it's the epitome of art. Art is open to all kinds of interpretation. opiate | Reviewer: toolfan101 | 1/10/09 i think this song is a complex reference to religion, and its similarities to a drug, consuming people and changing thier lives, and that humanity cant kick it. pointless as it is. my theory is enforced by the way maynards songs from this time period talk about religion in a very negative light, though i think maybe his opinion chainged after the death of his mother? Anyway.. the line 'why cant we sleep forever?' i think is addressing mans obsession with, and lack of ability to cope with his own mortality, and as a knee jerk reaction our creation of 'god' to avoid death being the end. The line 'jesus wont you fuckin whistle?' is maynards challenge to aforesaid diety to prove him wrong by showing its existence, or making a crack about how if this god does exist its obviously happy to sit around on its arse and not do anything to help people anyway so we shouldnt even bother with it. When he is referring to a shadow shrouding every step he takes and getting people to point their fingers at each other, it seems it is an obvious effect of religion, and the comment about us having to kill each other over 'the son coming' it patently ridiculous. and maybe cynicism on maynards part, or a reference to how easy it is to take advantage of people hooked on somethign and corrupt them into doing things that seem very stupid looking in from the outside. one other thought, is the video clip ties in with my theory pretty well i think, the man opens his box 'prays' and stays in a room, blinkering himself from the world, like a devout religious person refusing to even think about 'blasphemeous ideas' which pretty much everything was at some point.. and when he finally leaves it, nothing really makes sense to him. i came up with this idea after listening to the song opiate, and thinking about karl marxs famous quote about religion, then kind of pieced it together... well hell it fits better then some story about boyfriends and girlfriends relationships which maynard hasnt-and i hope never will make a song about. ... or it could just be about beer, who knows.
