I'm sure all of that is totally not true. Not every one of their songs have this message behind them. Maybe they just wanted to write a song with intricate lyrics that can't be interpreted? Ever think they just wanted to have fun with a song? |

| Tool – Ticks and Leeches Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
This song is Maynard's response to the record company. They basically told them to have a heavy track, and if they didn't create one... they wouldn't release their album. In the song, when Maynard sings "Hope this is what you wanted , Hope this is what you had in mind, 'Cause this is what you're gettin'," he is basically making a direct statement to the record company. Basically, telling them this is their heavy track and they don't give a shit. The ticks and leeches are metaphors for the record companies sucking on the bands' every song they produce, giving them more money. |
