| Tool – Jerk-Off Lyrics | 23 years ago |
| this song is saying no matter what laws their r ppl r goin to break them no matter the consequences! and so what if they do break them, who says it is right or wrong? their is no higher power, so who is dictating what is right and wrong? humans r playing god and taking right and wrong into their own hands, these ppl at the same time r abusing this power and getting away wit their "wrong" actions therefore being hypocrites! | |
| Tool – Prison Sex Lyrics | 23 years ago |

most ppl look at this song too literally! This abuse is a metaphor! a metaphor about how we as a society treat each other and how we justify our actions! "do unto others what has been done to u" is an interesting twisting of the bible verse "do unto others what u would hav them do unto u", this is a phrase which is twisted in societies mind to mean treat others how u hav been treated! this man has been ill-treated as a child, so to get over this pain he goes out and abuses this other child to get a type of revenge! and he can justify his actions by saying it has been done to him so he can do it to others! listen to OTRM version it will give a beta view of the full metaphor of the song! "i thought i could make it end/ thoguht i could wash the stains away? thought i could break the circle by slipping into ur skin/ so sweet was ur surrender/we hav bcome 1/i hav bcome my terror and ur my preciosu lamb and matyr" he thought by redoing his act on others he would be able to stop them from getting into the abusing cycle! by the line "ive come round full circle" it means that in his search for his inner peace by taking his revenge he has turned from the victim to the villain, thereby keeping the cycle going by creating a new victim! This man is not demented, as u so politely called him, he is just doing what he believes is right! "do unto others what has been done to u" and by the way MAYNARD was not abused sexually as a child! that is just a rumour which is completely unsubstantiated! |
