Tool – 7empest Lyrics | 4 years ago |
Here are my two cents of the meaning: I believe the song is directed towards somebody in perticular. " Control, your delusion Insane and striking at random Victim of your certainty And therefore your doubt's not an option Blameless, the tempest must will be just that So try as you may, feeble, your attempt to atone Your words to erase all the damage cannot" This part of the verse describes somebody who is insane to the point where they lash out at random to everybody around them. They are one of those people who are always certain of themselves (victim of of certainty) and thus never doubt themselves or their actions (your doubt's not an action) Keenan then describes him has a storm, of causing only destruction in its path. And as a person they will be just that, a storm, a path of only destruction. He then writes of the destructive person attempting to atone himself to no a vale. His words are empty and do not mean anything and the damage has been done. The destructive storm personality of a person will keep on going . Thus the line: A tempest must be just that. |
