| Tool – Reflection Lyrics | 23 years ago |
|
For me, Tool's contant message throughout both this album, and Aenima, our need to evolve and realize our full potenial as beings of conscious thought. So much is possible to us, so much is in our grasp. Here's where I piss someone off: I think that our next evolutionary step MUST be a conscious process. As long as we live under the yoke of religious morality, the hate, bigotry, and fear of progress, we'll never reach that next step. Forgive any typos, my keyboard is...shitty. |

| Tool – Parabol Lyrics | 23 years ago |
|
Reassess; look back over songs like Third Eye, Forty-Six and 2, and even Reflction and you'll find a common theme between them and Parabol/Parabola. I think this song, and Parabola, ARE about birth--and rebirth. AS we enter again into the world, so fresh, so hopeful and hungry for experence and life to enrich our existence outside this plane. "Celebrate this chance to be alive and breathing/This body holding me remidns me of my own mortality, embrace this moment, remember, we are eternal, all this pain is an illusion." - Parabola. I think it's saying that each gift of life in this world is to be cherished, don't give in to the pain and strife you experience; learn from it, and remember that it's fleeting. Life is fleeting. Forgive any glaring typographical errors, my keyboard is oddly sticky o_O |
