| Tool – Forty Six & 2 Lyrics | 10 years ago |
| @[Oberones:8389] Wow. Pretty rough judgement of the aboriginals! Actually, the song is referring to an evolution 'backwards,' if you will, a man shedding his skin (hence the scab picking and snake crawling imagery.) The character in the song is coming to terms with what he really wants, and accepting who he really is: an animal, with all of its primal, raw and (innocent?) natural qualities. The message is plain: humankind would be better off living 'in' nature than 'above' it, as we are all animals at heart. Animals that have evolved the unique ability to completely and irrevocably destroy the ecology of the environment needed to sustain their very lives. | |
