Tool – Fear Inoculum Lyrics 6 years ago
To me this song is about a person overcoming a deep psychological fear of connecting with others and becoming immune to it, effectively growing and solving this issue.

The fear is metaphorized as a contagion, a venom, a disease and a deceiver which tries to convince the person to fear others. The person then achieves clarity, growth and gains immunity to this fear.

I like how Tool managed to keep their ominous vibe but deliver a profoundly positive message in this song.
