Tool Lyrics

    ------ About the song The Pot performed by Tool

Honestly, when i heard this song and tried to compare the lyrics to what i heard at the very end compared to the lyrics and based on that this song is about liars and hipocrites and the government, i think the song says "ganga-ful lies" instead of "ganga pl-ease" just a thought i had, anyone agree?

    ------ About the song Schism performed by Tool

I believe that Tool is saying that we must all be in communication with each other but most importantly be honest with yourself. What exactly are you in love with and why? Why do you love what you love? What does it mean to you? How has it affected you? Communication is key....be honest with thyself. To know thyself....is to truly truly trust thyself!! Your ground will never be shaken. And why should it? You know who you are? You know what you believe!!! We need to remember HE died for us......he sent his only son......to pass on the knowledge that we are loved because of who we are! Somehow we get lost and need approval for what we do and what we believe because we have committed sin...but communication sets us free! Admit your faults...your weeknesses....your doubts....for HE knows them all already. There is no wrong in pure love....and we all seek it....if you seek....so shall you find! Love as if you were a child all over again! In the end....at the end of the day....we are all seaking the same..thing...in any shape...form...fashion...LOVE! True...GENIUNE...unjudgemental pure love that can only come from within....IF YOU BELIEVE!

    ------ About the song The Pot performed by Tool

He says "ganja" so he is talking about weed. but when he says "pot" he is not. This song is about marijuana legalization laws, and the fact that the ones who enforce those laws.."must be high"

    ------ About the song Swamp Song performed by Tool

I've always thought of this song as Maynard's opinion about some of the crowds he's seen on tour with Tool. There's always some jerk at every rock show who wants to mosh violently. You can hardly go crowd surfing anymore with some of the meat-heads that seem determined to hurt someone else in the crowd. Rock shows used to be fun till around the late 90's when people started coming to shows with deliberate intend to hurt someone. Really sucks sometimes, but I enjoy this song. If you read through these lyrics, imagining that Maynard is singing directly to the type of a**hole I've just described I think you'll see how perfectly it fits. I'm willing to bet Maynard was thinking along these lines when he started writing these lyrics.

    ------ About the song H. performed by Tool

I don't claim that I know the meaning of the song,but I think that is about bad decisions, I mean, many people have reached to the bottom and they don't care to drag other people just because they are living too down, maybe (thats my intepretation) some of those so-called friends have dragged Maynard into all that mess that he has went trough

    ------ About the song Right in Two performed by Tool

Good job, everybody.

Point proven.

Tool wrote a fabulous song about how people/primates/monkeys are givin an idea, and they got to force everyone else to conform to that idea -- their verson of the idea. Kill the monkey if it doesn't accept 'my' version of the 'truth.' Truth is, we are all monkeys, Christians and non-Christians are all monkeys equally. It has nothing to do with belief, but separation because of belief--ie. 'right in two.'

    ------ About the song Third Eye performed by Tool

actually only the pop and hip hop artists are really the only ones who have faded because of drugs. genres such as metal and rock are mostly defined by the inspiration of drugs. did you know that jimmy hendricks used to cut his fore head and put large amounts of acid on the cut put his bandanna on and trip before he played every show and when he came down he couldn't play near as well as when he were on drugs.

    ------ About the song Vicarious performed by Tool

i don't know how anyone can say this song doesn't have meaning. it so obviously about the media more importantly news stations and how they show so much death and tragedy because for some reason that's what people want to watch. journalists are told to target those stories,especially in america where they are told to cover a shooting over any other news story opportunity, because that is what will make people watch the news, we like watching tradegy, but no-one will admit it

    ------ About the song Wings For Marie (Pt. 1) performed by Tool

I love Tool. "Wings For Marie" was the first part in the 10,000 Days masterpiece. It was dedicated to his departed mother, Judith Marie. The second part, "10,000 Days," was how long she suffered being paralyzed (from the waist down I think). Marie was highly religous, and Maynard was upset how someone so religous could suffer through so much, 27 years she was paralyzed until she passed away. Such an amazing song!

    ------ About the song Parabol performed by Tool

This song sounds like it is describing the experience of the spirit in the body. You don't need to be on opiates to understand that, you just need a deeper understanding. I believe that this can be religious and spiritual depending on your belief. The lyrics are quite beautiful.....and no, I'm not on opiates. I choose to live drug free. Enjoy life!
