| Tool – Pushit Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
"Ever have someone love you so much that they tried to kill you? Or prehaps suck you down into a hole, and you had to kill them to get away? Me neither." -MJK, Woodstock 99, intro to Pushit. I think he writes songs that make a logical connection to him, but writes ambigously (or psychoticly) enough so that we can twist them to mean anything. Then he sits back and watches the show. Maybe our opinions give him ideas for future songs. Maynard is a genius, but I am not a sheep. |

| Tool – The Eggs of Satan Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
I tried making these cookies the other day (minus the hashish, cause I'm 15) and they came out tasting pretty good. However, there's no way in Hell they're healthy, since it calls for so much butter. But w/o eggs, you can safely eat the raw dough. At 200 degrees they come out WAY undercooked, btw. Aside: I did say the magic words at the appropriate time, and I think they work to protect you from the cookies, b/c after eating three of them, I felt like having a heart attack. I feel like such a tool for actually trying this recipe. Maybe that's the point. |

| Slayer – War Ensemble Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
It's about war in general. There's no indication anywhere in the song about a specific war. This is a war song like Metallica's "Disposable Heros." Some first-person elements that portray horrors of war from a soldier's point of view. "how many people I can kill." It's certianly not a war song like "Rooster," which as a specfic meaning and story in mind. Regardless, I agree it's Slayer's last good song. Lombardo's drumming is incredible. |

| Tool – Cesaro Summability Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
the faq on toolshed.down.net is quick to mention that the baby crying is definately not maynard's son, but an audio clip from some movie or TV show. As for the meaning, I like Incarnate's theory of abandoment, esp. if you consider Aenima as a concept album. The song after "summability" is "Aenema," which talks about Mom (mother nature) flushing it all away. "Summability" is probably an intro to that theory, i.e. we're the infant Mom is abandoning. The rain effect is some continuation on the water theme that shows up infrequently throughout the album; a theme that actually started with "Undertow." Maybe MJK has some form of hydrophobia :) As for the "words," Im still without a clue. |

| The Doors – The Hitchhiker Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
This song is great. It's from the spoken word album "An American Prayer." It's hard to describe in words, and these lyrics are probably confusing people, but it was made by playing their song "Riders on the Storm" and overlapping some of Mr. Morrison's poetry. The story of a hitchhiker was a common theme for Morrison. I'm not sure why he was so obsessed with it, maybe the idea of killing a man far out in the desert appealed to him. whatever it was, it was a good thing, since it led to poetry like in this song. And of course, the legendary experimental film "HWY" was this sort of story. |

| The Doors – A Feast Of Friends Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
This song is an excerpt from Morrison's epic poem "An American Prayer." It was released on the album of the same name. As for its meaning, I believe he took the secrets of all his poetry to the grave. His writing is so abstract, so surreal, it's hard to make any sense of it. But I love how he speaks of Death. "A scaring, over-friendly guest you've brought to bed." |
