I think everyone in this should listen to "Lateralus" from the same-titles album... You guys are overthinking everything. I definitely agree that there is some back story to the lyrics most likely involving this Jungian Theory stuff, but that does not connect to Maynard at all, and we are not going to connect to it through the Jungian Theory either. As Danny Carey said in the interview, they have their meaning, and then they build the song to allow for our own interpretations. Stop over-thinking and over-analyzing, because it separates the body from the mind. Just make it what you want it to be. |

The first comment stated that Maynard said during a concert that the song is about vampires that you encounter during life. In the Satanic Bible, these vampires are mentioned. The sixth Satanic Statement says "Satan represents responsibility tothe responsible, instead of concern for psychic vampires!" This is referring to the people in your life who basically mope around in sadness, pity, wahtever, and complain about their problems in life and expect you to listen and offer help or to hear them out. If this is what the song is about, then it is saying not to waste your time helping someone or being with them through any type of healing/helping process if you are nont getting anything out of it... very unlikely, but its a thought |
