| Tool – Parabol Lyrics | 5 years ago |
|
"This body holding me..." At what point is the body endowed with a soul? (if you believe in that?) Or maybe humans didn't only just appear relatively recently, but have always been. Maybe all life has a soul. At any rate if the body is eternal as it must be then it is either sensitive or not, or both, "eternal" meaning unchanging in the song I think. I can't see making something from nothing, yet the words do exist. If gain from pain is precluded by lachrymology, so too are they from ever having been without. Could be about the three dimensions |

| Tool – Sober Lyrics | 5 years ago |
| When a group of friends go to the bar and have drinks they do so to have fun for the evening. When someone drinks to feel better he is likely choosing to take his time, not wanting to run out too soon. I suppose the group in the first example doesn't have a problem with alcohol. | |

| Tool – Reflection Lyrics | 5 years ago |
|
"She resuscitates the hopeless. Without her, we are lifeless satellites drifting..." Being away from home for a very long time, knowing you'll get to see her when it's all over, might keep one driven. My opinion of the lyrics. |

| Tool – Pneuma Lyrics | 5 years ago |
| Maynard sounds angry in this song, which is surprising given the lyrics on paper. The question is who "we are". It reminds me of the "Spirit of God" hovering over the unformed earth, as told by Genesis 1. | |

| Tool – Swamp Song Lyrics | 5 years ago |
| I imagine trying to navigate a swamp or bog without having some idea going in of what to look for would be confusing. Maynard seems to have reverence for the swamp. | |

| Tool – The Grudge Lyrics | 5 years ago |
|
It could be directed towards a large group of people rather than just one individual. Maybe the crown symbolizes power to some degree, whether wanted or unwanted, and the reason they can't forgive someone is because there's simply no way to do so. That last part might be the crux of the song. Holding a grudge as an individual is tough, but if an entire group wears it collectively then that pain is shared and defrayed. I think "Saturn comes back around" refers to it revolving around its axis, "to show you everything". Whatever Saturn might be in the song it seems as though there was potential for it to heal past damage. As far as choosing to let go, of the grudge, that might be next to impossible since apparently it serves as a kind of cornerstone upon which the entire edifice sits and depends on. Also being desperate to control all and everything implies maybe that the ascent of Saturn can be maddening. |

| Filter – Welcome To The Fold Lyrics | 10 years ago |

Basically, this song is about hating your own self. "I was a wandering sheep, I did not love the fold; I did not love my Shepherd's voice, I would not be controlled. I was a wayward child, I did not love my Home; I did not love my Father's voice..." http://www.hymnary.org/text/i_was_a_wandering_sheep |

| Alice in Chains – Nutshell Lyrics | 10 years ago |
| "Home" is a metaphor for conscience. You actively go against your conscience, and you do it over and over, you find yourself homeless. Am I wrong? Have I run to far to get Home? | |

Assuming you even look, you have Two ways you can see the Infinity. A whole and complete One......like a perfect circle going round and round. Or you can see it as forever endless and without direction......going forever in every direction. So when Saturn comes back around you can grab on forever or infinite-ly regress for a while longer. One is the Absolute, infinitie in its completeness...........10 is the decimal...infinite in its decimation. Choose. |

| Alice in Chains – Sludge Factory Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| Well, nobody has gotten it correct. The lyrics are directed towards Layne's father (a heroin addict himself). Basically, Layne's dad came back into his life after he made it big, with the sole purpose of extracting money from him to feed his own addiction. "Call me up congratulations ain't the real why" echoes that perfectly. Also..."You insult me in my home, you're forgiven this time"....and..."Once again you see an in". And the last verse spells it out perfectly. | |
