The Flaming Lips – Mr. Ambulance Driver Lyrics 16 years ago
'I don't think the flaming lips take drugs of any sort', Is that why I saw a video of there drummer shooting up black tar heroin? I think he's clean now but yeah, they have all experimented with drugs. Just listen to their music, its brilliant and they took drugs, more evidence that Bill Hicks was right..

Tool – Bottom (feat. Henry Rollins) Lyrics 16 years ago
The lyrics are wrong, you have the demo spoken word as well as the CD Version, you should take out the first spoken word part.

The song is about 'hitting bottom'. A classic term used when a drug and/or alcohol addict has been defeated by his/her addiction and has a 'moment of clarity' where they get the resolve to deal with their problems instead of going back to active addiction. The song is being sung from the perspective of the addict to the addiction. Anyways as far as I'm concerned the song is spot on, it paints a very accurate picture of what addiction and getting clean are all about, I love this song, album, band. Peace...

Beck – Ozzy Lyrics 16 years ago
I think he was looking at a keychain with a picture of Ozzy Osbourne on it and it was hilarious to him so he wrote this song, which more or less is mocking Ozzy...

Nine Inch Nails – La Mer Lyrics 17 years ago
I think 'la mer' isn't necessarily about death but more rebirth as a result of change and in contrast to 'the great below' it is the opposite. 'la mer' is about acceptance and going through change with grace and letting it sort of wash over you while making the best of it, while 'the great below' is more about letting it consume you by trying to hold onto what was..

A Perfect Circle – Orestes Lyrics 17 years ago
Its about liberating yourself from something you want more than life itself, giving you true freedom, that's the short answer anyways,

Detaching yourself from your ego. Living for more than what YOU want, or doing things, making decisions based on more than whats best for YOU...

Ministry – Cold Life Lyrics 17 years ago
Not such a great song, sounds kinda like old KMFDM, but incredible lyrics. I can relate, reminds me of heroin addiction...

Tool – Rosetta Stoned Lyrics 17 years ago
I think hes mocking the whole mystique of psychedelic drugs and spirituality. I think hes trying to say that there are allot better ways to explore the spiritual world than fucking up your brain with chemicals. I think hes mocking all of you who take it word for word "You believe me don't you, you believe what I just said?" "Gyroscopes and infrared Won't help the braindead."
Just like the song opiate about people who take religion literally, its the same for tool lyrics, there's a point to all this, 'Life', but you have to figure it out for yourself, not by copying what other people have done...

Nine Inch Nails – Only Lyrics 17 years ago
It's about having enough courage/being hopeless enough to finally look within yourself for the truth about you and your place in the world, in order to do that one must get rid of the distractions in life, relationships ect.. and/or not knowing yourself will make those things on their own and you will be left ONLY with yourself to look at...

Tool – Sober Lyrics 17 years ago
"Why CAN we NOT be sober"
(Why must I be faced with this choice)
"I just want to start THIS over"
(Wants to start the PATTERN caused by use of drugs/alcohol again)

Once again, that is what I believe is said on the album and it also seems to make more sense...

Tool – Sober Lyrics 17 years ago
Murder now the PATTERN MUST WEAVE,
Just BECAUSE the SUN has come,

At least that's what it sounds like, and I think it makes more sense, though I could be wrong...

Tool – Parabol Lyrics 17 years ago
Short answer, Birth..

So familiar and overwhelmingly warm
This one, this form I hold now
(Post child birth, the mother is holding a child)

Embracing you, this reality here
This one, this form I hold now
So wide-eyed and hopeful

Wide-eyed and hopefully wild
(Hopefully wild - screaming, and crying = healthy child)
We barely remember what came before this precious moment
(The beauty of the experience supersedes the pain)
Choosing to be here right now, hold on, stay inside
(Remaining in the moment)
This body holding me, reminding me that I am not alone in
(The mother holding and comforting the child)
This body makes me feel eternal, all this pain is an illusion
