Well I know you might not expect a reply 10 years later but I feel as though the undertow represents the waves of depression. In real if the undertow sucks you down, you're supposed to just swim with it until it comes up on the other side. Fighting it will be useless and will only make it harder to come out alive on the other side. Like depression and other life problems, you have to just go with it until you reach the end of it's cycle. Fighting it will only do you harm. |

| Tool – Swamp Song Lyrics

I feel as though this song could be related to life. The "bog" being life, is easy to get lost in. "no one even invited you in; you still stumble in." This shows how the ignorant people in life are still born though uninvited. The thickness of the bog would probably be everything that is complicated in life, also showing how it would be easy to get lost in and of course there being no return. Dancing in quicksand just signifies how you may be enjoying yourself in life but you don't realize you're digging yourself into a problem, even after being warned. I think that for not taking a warning seriously, Maynard feels no sympathy for the people who are getting sucked in. Most people would disagree with me when I say that I would keep everything that is bad about life in life. My reason for this is that without those bad things and people, there would be no reason to write suck beautiful music like this, and if you think about it with no bad there would be no good. They're two sides of the same coin which cannot exist without the other. |
