| Tool – Fear Inoculum Lyrics | 6 years ago |
|
I agree with Syndesmotic42. I get a vibe from the whole album that is it very deeply based or inspired by a view on religion. I feel the viewpoint is that religion, as we know it is on the decline, The fear that religion uses to trap its followers can be overcome, and inoculated against with knowledge. "Bless this immunity" may be an explanation of how religious leaders are safe from the legal systems that the rest of us must abide. "Exorcise the spectacle Exorcise the malady Exorcise the disparate Poison for eternity Purge me and evacuate The venom and the fear that binds me" The thing that is being exorcised, is the variety of bullshit that is preached by the religious leaders. (in my opinion) "Deceiver Chased away A long time Coming" As we humans are becoming more and more intelligent, we don't believe the lies anymore, so the deceiver can be chased away. Every line has a representation that I can see relates to the distrust of religion. I'll let you ponder the rest. Pav |

| Tool – Invincible Lyrics | 6 years ago |

I feel the song is about the once strong and invincible Christian religion. Or any religion for that matter. Religion was a warrior that ruled the whole world at one point, but as we evolve as a race, we no longer need the false hope that it offers. "Tears in my eyes Chasing Ponce de Leon's phantom Soul filled with hope I can taste mythical fountains False hope, perhaps But the truth never got in my way Before now, feel the sting Feeling time bearing down" "Chasing Ponce de Leon's phantom" from my viewpoint, represents Jesus. and how people are still chasing his "phantom" with their beliefs and prayers. "But the truth never got in my way" We all know how stubborn religious people can be to the truth if it doesn't match their belief. There's more, but I won't bore you with my (most probably wrong) beliefs. Pav |
