| Tool – Third Eye Lyrics | 10 years ago |

"Came out to watch you play, Why are you running away?" This part of the song always gives me goosebumps because of the extremely foreboding tone. Something about the way he sings it just sounds so desperate and maniacal and it gives me chills. This song has such good progression and contrast. |

Oh, and these lines are my favorite: "Some people have a gift of reaching right into your soul And finding the hole and making it bigger Baby sometimes I think I catch ya crackin' cynical smiles And in a short while you'll be my heart's grave digger Well there's not much I can do 'Cause I'm at the mercy of you So baby I guess we're through" It just captures that feeling so well of when you go into a relationship expecting the other person to fill a void in your life, and all they do is make it worse. This whole section is where I got the "controlling" part from. It seems like his wife made all the important decisions in the relationship, and he felt he was constantly "at her mercy," fighting an uphill battle to keep her attention and interest and keep her from leaving him. |

| The way I view it, it's about a man whose wife is extremely controlling and cold, but he feels that he couldn't exist without her. These internal conflicts result in him turning to alcohol and beginning to break down, and when his wife finally leaves him, he decides to go out and drink himself to death. It's a pretty specific scenario, but it's just the way I visualize it. I've seen a lot of comments that say that Scott himself said it was simply about quitting alcohol. In any case, it's a beautiful song, and I do get kind of emotional listening to it just because of the images it puts in my head. I wish Scott hadn't left, but RBF still put on an amazing show. | |

"The past is gone, but something might be found to take its place." That's definitely my favorite line from the song... It just says that the relationship could never be the same as it was, but we can still make something great out of it. This is one of my favorite songs from my childhood. I'm only 18, but I was unlike a lot of the kids of my time, because at 4-5 I was stealing my mom and her boyfriend's CD's, which mostly comprised of alternative hits of the time. Sublime, Green Day, the Offpsring, Gin Blossoms, etc. I wasn't into the pop hits that a lot of the other kids were. |
