Tool – Disposition Lyrics	23 years ago
To me, this song means that the writer is talking to someone around whom his life is centered. One word changes his whole outlook. In a much more literal sense, one word changes his mood, which then, literally changes the weather, because we all know Maynard is God.

Leonard Cohen – Suzanne Lyrics	23 years ago
It's interesting, the connotations that go with a name. The Suzanne in this song is very much like a certain Suzanne I know.

Tool – Hooker with a Penis Lyrics

24 years ago

This is about some kid talking to Maynard about Undertow. The kid, declaring himself a true Tool fan (OGT - Original Gangsta Tool) apparently called MJK a sellout for releasing Undertow, a major label record. Maynard turns his words around into the chorus that says, "We all participate in capitalism, so by saying you don't like it, you're being hypocritical." He goes on to say that the kid knows nothing about him except for what Maynard lets him know, so he's in no position to tell him how to live. Just invest in Tool and your soul is safe.

Tool – Parabola Lyrics

24 years ago

This song is about the Spiritualist belief in the birth process; it has nothing to do with sex really. We are spirit forms until we will ourselves into a physical form. During the infant stage, our spirit (or second self as I call it) moves in and out of our body with ease, as it's not yet grounded in the physical world. The lyrics demand that we are alive because we chose to be, and we should cherish this opportunity. Pain is truly not an illusion, but can be manipulated into suck when one looks at the big picture. Our bodies are vehicles that carry our astral minds. We are eternal.

Tool – Third Eye Lyrics	24 years ago
This song is a record of Maynard's own experiences with the third eye. The third eye follows a theory that there are subtleties that can't be seen with our normal eyes. It's suggested in the lyrics that Maynard follows this path like a religion, and that he induces his visions with drugs.
