| Tool – Opiate Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| Evolution is not chance... that is not how natural selection works. Evolution works by slowly moving to a better and better state through time depending on conditions around the organism. Species that have beneficial traits survive while those that don't die out. The human race essentially stopped evolving physically we evolve technologically. When people start realizing how stagnant we have become we will start evolving physically again. Here's the secret YOU ARE GOD and you experience yourself subjectively you don't NEED religion but a good one helps. The bible is horribly out dated and it needs to be interpreted and has a strong potential to be skewed and misused if you aren't careful to question what you hear. Religion is not for the masses but it is personal. The bible is meant to be read by each person not interpreted by one and told to many. | |

| I think Mindblow nailed it. Also strmthecitadel has a very good point everyone should try DMT it is probably the most amazing molecule in existence. Can't wait to extract some this summer =P. | |
| Tool – The Gaping Lotus Experience Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| There is a difference between user and junkie. Do some research on Psilocybin and DMT completely non-harmful to you. Guess what gives you the psychedelic experience when you meditate? DMT. Don't be dumb. Drugs only facilitate the process if you aren't open to it then you are going to have problems like any kind of mind expanding process it takes working through. If try to force yourself into without being open drugs will seriously harm you but if you are smart about it use them in conjunction with meditation you will only accelerate the process of opening your third eye. Meditation shamanism all that you are missing the point if you think drugs are just lol bad for you. Right its clearly obvious that you have no clue. Junkie means they need the drug to function aka the drug uses them. A user uses the drug as a tool aka The user uses the drug. STFU | |
| Tool – (-) Ions Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| or even mantras and tantras and other meditation chanting. They are all vibrational sounds if music can do that why not use it too. It the same reason you should meditate with music sit in a good pose up right and what not eat some psychedelics and do some chanting. They only compliment each other they don't subtract. They were meant to be used together. | |

| Disturbed – Deceiver Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| I think you are calling David very shallow and even calling him ignorant to not know why someone would play someone in a relationship. Rather this song seems more to be on the lines of a non specific human deceiver. Humans function on needs they do not function on hatred and will not act upon something that doesn't make sense to them or is not justified to them in their mind. I see it as a deeper deception something as a humans we have all been deceived of. Deceived of what is really the truth of human life. | |
| Tool – Rosetta Stoned Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| I think a lot of people if shown a shred of consciousness from an ants mind would be blown away and the ant would lol in their face. The whole idea of the psychedelic experience is that you are experiencing the consciousness of whatever plant/fungus you ate/smoked. Terrence Mckenna talks a lot about that in his writings and I tend to agree with him. | |
| Tool – Rosetta Stoned Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| I think Dragonfly Key got it right. Frankly I am disgusted by peoples use of drugs in general. They haphazardly use them as an escape instead of the experience they can be. Psychedelics are life changing for the better if you are open to the experience and aren't doing it just to get "fucked up" which is what I see a lot of people using drugs for. To be honest it is pathetic and you are only acting like sheep who are being herded off a fucking cliff. Stop being so blind. | |
| Alter Bridge – Find The Real Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
I don't think this song specifically talks about converting to Christianity. Although the main ideas of what Jesus teaches is what he talks about. Of course all the dogma surrounding those teachings seem to make you worship the teacher instead of the teachings... Anyways I don't really want to touch that but this song is great. Surrendering to what is, is a common theme among many spiritual teachings accepting what is and tolerance. Putting on a face of an angel when really he has been acting as a stranger to who he really is. Finding the real is finding truth. Truth on how this world is actually perceived. I particularly enjoy "And with all I've taken I hunger for more 'Cause I'm selfish" some good ol material identification use things don't let them use you =) |

| Tool – Lost Keys (Blame Hofmann) Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
The nurse checked his vital signs != she checked his blood for LSD. For one very few drug tests actually test for hallucinogens and it is also expensive to do so. I wish there was more research on the nature of tripping and psychedelics and what is the actual process of these drugs. To say the drug itself made him brain dead, forgetting his encounter with aliens is rather ignorant of the effects of a psychedelic drug. I am curious if the people posting these ideas have had any first hand experience with psychedelics or if they are just listening to the propaganda that is out there. Most people are so asleep to how perception really works to the point where they don't even know they are asleep. This is kind of like the Matrix effect. Once you've been opened to a higher level of consciousness, a higher vantage point of perception you are either in a huge amount of shock (which some don't recover from) or you learn a great deal from the experience. The whole point of psychedelics is to be able to be at that state without taking a drug. The point of psychedelics is not to get "fucked up" which is unfortunately how a lot of the drug culture works. A temporary escape from the "real" world or what is perceived as the "real" world. The idea is you want to rearrange your brain structure so brain function is always at that higher level of thinking like when you are "under" the effects of a psychedelic. It is often hard to communicate ideas and concepts from a trip because one your brain is too fail to comprehend what just happened(trained monkey syndrome) and two our language can only speak of what is experienced the only way to experience higher states of perception is to well actually experience them. |

| Killswitch Engage – World Ablaze Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
Although it seems like he is just talking to one person I honestly don't think that is the case however if it is that is romantic and all but it doesn't match the tone of their other songs. You and I = We as in everyone he isn't talking to one person but everyone. Shed the weight of this world realize there is no weight to this world and that it has all been horribly put upon your shoulders. Let that weight burn away and blow away in the wind. Together as one. |

| Killswitch Engage – Reject Yourself Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| Just because someone has materially nothing doesn't mean they are suffering. KSE has a very spiritual tone to all their songs. This song is singing about the people who are lost in lies. The people who are without love the people who still have hate in their hearts. "Can you feel their agony" is not so much a question but is saying you should be able to feel their agony. Heal those in need. | |
| Killswitch Engage – When Darkness Falls Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| I love how Christians can have the arrogance and even hubris to assume without a single doubt (or so it seems =P) that just because they "believe" they can go to heaven. You forsake the gift of life denouncing this existence as horrible and one that only tests you so you can "live" in perfect existence. Continue to live in fear of your God only doing what is "right" because you are afraid you won't get into heaven if you don't do the right thing. That idea sickens me. Hell = separation from God can you even describe what God is? Has that been forgotten too? How do you live with yourself condemning the rest of the world to hell just because you don't think they believe in your God when more than half the Christian world doesn't even fucking read the bible anymore. Do me and everyone else a favor and think how your actions affect this world around you and not how they will affect your chances of getting into Heaven. I have nothing against you of course I am just tired of the arrogance and hypocrisy that is spewed from the mouths of most Christians. | |

Haha real or drug induced... How can you even know the difference... DMT is a chemical produced by the pineal gland in your brain. The Pineal gland is located right where the Third Eye is supposed to be clearly no coincidence. DMT is released in high amounts when a person is born when they sleep(dreams) and when they die. A reoccuring theme of DMT trips are entities. People have reported being abducted raped probed and disected during DMT trips. There is a book called DMT "The Spirit Molecule". What you see as "reality" is simply human existence. What we really are is sooo much more. "Luminous beings we are, not this crude matter" I don't doubt any alien encounter is from increased amounts of DMT inside the brain. It would not surprise me that DMT binding to receptors in our brains allowed us to interact with soo much more than what is normally viewed as lol "reality". O and nice label with the "stupid hippe stoner". Open your eyes to what we really are. The Human body is a but a chemical organism allowing us to experience this world nothing more and yet people make it into this unneeded suffering so foolish. |

| This song is about addiction and living your life around highs, instead of just living your life. | |
| Disturbed – Liberate Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
This is clear almost literal what he says. LIBERATE YOUR MOTHERFUCKING MIND!!! take away all the hatred there is no point for it. It only divides. It blinds you from the fucking truth. Stop being so ignorant he is not denying god. He is literally saying to stop waiting for that modern messiah to help you remove the hatred from your mind. Do it yourself you can do it now. TAKE AWAY ALL THE HATRED!!!!! |

| Disturbed – Down with the Sickness Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
The ego represents identification with the thinking instead of one doing the thinking. The ego does not exist. It is a concept merely used to describe something. It is not a problem unless you make it one. A problem is only a solution in disguise. To transcend you must be one with god and the material existence there is no duality there is only one. I am saying don't believe in the ego. This song is about someone who does identify with the ego someone who does believe in the ego. I agree with you I am not against you I have no institutions to fear and I work for no "psycho wards". Do not become too closely identified with words as they are merely words they only have meaning if you give them meaning. Accept and Acknowledge the ego as the illusion it is and it will no longer have any power. |

| Tool – Schism Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
I don't know if you are talking to me, powder, but I am not accusing anyone of anything. I know the ego to be an illusion. Madness occurs only when people see the ego as something other than an illusion. Any person can see this as true as the world we live in currently dominated with an ego-centric consciousness. Fortunately people are rediscovering communication as in realizing the illusion of the ego, which is what Maynard is singing about. If it sounded like I was glorifying the ego that was certainly not my intention. The shell of the ego must be burned with the fire of consciousness. |

I enjoyed reading your interpretation Coex. If I am not mistaken you believe that this song marks a fall of religion the loss of some ancient communication. Building a tower that represents god. I agree Maynard is an intelligent man. What if I said that the communication is the communication with god. The knowing of being. That is what maynard is singing about. The pieces do indeed fit. The temple that was toppled is the temple of the body that was toppled by the mind or ego. There was a time that the pieces fit but I watched them fall away Mildewed and smoldering, strangled by our coveting The temple was toppled by people not by god. god is what is the inevitable that which can not be changed to resist god is to cause suffering and lack of communication. I am not referring to god as a man on a throne. God is No-thing. Strengthen our communication with God and see the pieces fit =) |

| Disturbed – Voices Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| The voice in this song is the ego that voice inside peoples head that they think is them. The one that thinks yeah thats the voice he is singing about the voice he is trying to become one with the one he asking god to save him from the one that is lying to him. | |
| Disturbed – Down with the Sickness Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
Disturbeds lyrics are not speaking of him reacting to other peoples egotistically power trips. It is not that "he" has had enough it is "he" still identifies with the ego or the demon in him. Drowning deep in a sea of loathing is not other peoples loathing it is "his" loathing. This is what happens when you identify yourself with the ego. The voice singing: Get up, come on get down with the sickness Get up, come on get down with the sickness Get up, come on get down with the sickness Open up your hate, and let it flow into me is the ego. The ego lives on hate and the idea of superiority. the Human in this song is taken over by the ego by the end of the song. |

| Disturbed – Criminal Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| The beautiful part about disturbed is that there are two voices singing (although it is the same singer) Each voice is a different entity. The suffering he talks about is the suffering of inner conflict. The criminal is the ego. Closing the door is him falling under the control of the ego and "criminal" means identifying with the ego. The alone is talking about is loss of connection from god or for a better word life. | |

These lyrics are not the lyrics I hear or find else where. I'm tired of holdin' up the weight, the weight of the motherfuckin' world. All I want is to just get right HERE RIGHT NOW !!! We struggle and fight just to get in the grave That's overflowing. Clock's ticking on my 15 minutes of fame Come on now 1 2 3... Is the actual verse. The line "HERE RIGHT NOW !!!" is saying don't be in the future when you do things be here in the now the present moment. My favorite line is "we struggle and fight just to get in the grave" This is one of the most comical facts of humanity right now. We resist death and even fight it. He is trying to say don't resist don't always be determined and set and confident he is not championing these it is almost sarcasm the way he is saying. Telling you not to be confident in the future. The reason for the repeated wrong should be obvious. |
