| Tool – Mantra Lyrics | 23 years ago |
| Heres what Mantra really is: Tool fan Yaz (yazkuge@hotmail.com) found a 2001 interview with Maynard in the Japanese magazine "Buzz" where MJK stated for the first time in public ("a treat for the Japanese fans," he says) that the track "Mantra" is the sound of him squeezing one of his Siamese cats. The cat made such a weird noise that he immediately recorded this, played it real slow and made a track out of it. | |
| Tool – The Patient Lyrics | 23 years ago |
|
I do believe this song is about Maynard getting a bit bored of the band. "A groan of tedium escapes me" "Draining patience, drain vitality; this paranoid, paralyzed vampire act's a little old" - The band is wearing his patience and vitality and that is starting to get old. "But I'm still right here, givin' blood, keepin' faith and I'm still right here" But he is still here, giving his all even if he is getting bored. "If there were no rewards to reap No loving embrace to see me through This tedious path I've chosen here I certainly would've walked away By now" If he wasent getting anything out of the whole experience, if we the fans and his family/friends didn't love him, this annoying path he took wouldn't be worth it and he would have walked away from it all. "If there were no desire to heal The damaged and broken met along This tedious path I've chosen here I certainly would've walked away By now" Somehow he is healing his past experiences by being in the band and sharing his experiences, if he didn't want to do that then he would have just walked away. But he must be patient, he must wait it out, even though it is tedious. He must keep reminding himself why he is still where he is today. "I certainly would've walked away (I must keep reminding myself of this) By now And I still may" But he still could leave, he still could. "Gonna wait it out Gonna wait it out Wait it out Gonna wait it out" But he'll wait it out and see what happens.... Another one of my favorite Lateralus songs, very nice story in it. |

| Tool – Pushit Lyrics | 23 years ago |

I must agree to some point, that this song is just about sex. But only about how he loves getting sex from his lover but not "normal" sex, the kind that makes babies so to say. The virst verse: "I will choke until I swallow... Choke this infant here before me What is this but my reflection? Who am I to judge and strike you down?" He is talking about how he doesn't want to have sex, but it's in his nature who is he to disagree with his instinct? The Second verse: "But you're Pushing and shoving me You still love me and you pushit on me" But his lover keeps pushing sex on him. He isn't saying anything to her to make her think he doesn't want to so she keeps doing it. The third verse: "Rest your trigger on my finger, bang my head upon the fault line Take care not to make me enter 'cause if I do we both may disappear" This is where he is talking about the various ways he is having sex with his lover. (Fingering, "Rest your trigger on my finger", Oral, "bang my head upon the fault line") But he doesn't want to normal sex with her. Because he will completely lose it. The fourth verse: "But you're pushing me, Shoving me Pushit on me" Again he is talking about he is still doing it anyway, she keeps making him do it. The fifth verse: "Slipping back into the gap again I'm alive when you're touching me, Alive when you're shoving me down" Here he is talking about how he is gonna lose it. But he loves it when she touches him and he loves it when he getting oral sex from her. The sixth verse:"But i'd trade it all For just a little bit of Piece of mind" He would love it if they did more then just have sex all the time, but thats all she wants to do, he would trade it all for just a little peace of mind. The seventh verse:"Put me somewhere I don't wanna be Seeing someplace I don't wanna see Never wanna see that place again" Now this is where he has got so into the oral/manual stimulation from his lover that he want to have "normal" sex with her, because he has just about lost it. The eighth verse: "Saw that gap again today As you were begging me to stay Managed to push myself away, And you, as well" His lover wanted it again, she was begging him for it, but he managed to escape before he lost it, but in doing so pushed her away from him. The Ninth verse: "If, when I say I may fade like a sigh if I stay, You minimize my movement anyway, I must persuade you another way" But if he says anything about how he doesn't want "normal" sex then his relationship with her will just be very shallow, they'll just sit around and do nothing. But she doesn't let him do much anyway. If only he could find a way to get her to stop. The tenth verse: "There's no love in fear" He can't truley love her if he is afraid of her in totality. The eleventh verse: "Staring down the hole again Hands upon my back again Survival is my only friend Terrified of what may come" She is doing it again, she wants it again, but he must escape he must not go insane, he knows what he must do to make it stop. The final verse: "Just remember I will always love you, Even as I tear your fucking throat away But it will end no other way" He has to kill her to make it stop, but he still loves her, this is the only way. Truley one of the greatest songs ever. My favorite Tool song has to be Pushit (Live) and Pushit. |
