| Tool – Third Eye Lyrics | 17 years ago |

Well after reading 7 pages of this bull, I can see there is a profound debate on wether substances are an influence in this song... I firmly believe that we must look past the comedians speil on drugs and music, or the news report on the boy on acid but the simple quote that follows... "It's not a war on drugs, it's a war on personal freedom. Keep that in mind at all times, alright?" Now... Having used acid innumerable times throughout my lifetime I can relate to the whole third eye experience. but from the line above we see clearly that "its not just a war on drugs"...thats why people have brought up the "question authourity" argument. see... my stand point is that this song is aimed at two sides of a particular group...the people who have been silently questioning authority, wether with drugs, or music, or their personal beliefs... |

Now this song is obviously speaking out against school and the conformity involved in it. Now as grade 11 student at 17, I am listing to a song like this and looking and how it reflects my life and how school has changed me thus far. But "school" in this song is simply a symbolic term, and can be applied to work, media(tv,newspapers,billboards, magazines...etc), and even your own peers. It would be simply lunacy to say that noone is trying to conform us or make us think in they're perspective...heck this song in itself does just that, but....it opens our eyes to how we've been "controlled" so far and what you can do about it. Now one part of the song I never really understood for quite a while untill one day it just appeard to me... Coincedentally ...I was at school and I went to the washroom and while i was doing my business i was loking at the writing on the wall and there was some brilliant stuff lol....but one thing caught my attention. there was a quote and it was written inside a drawing of a tv set. It said... "The revolution will not be televised...." at first it just kinda went in one ear and out the other but later on i really got thinking about it. when it all comes down too it the governments have 100% control of what we hear and see in the media, and how it is presented, so if something happens such as a the small beginnings a communist revolution we may never know untill it physically reaches us or something major happens to us. Now....where this fits into school ... towards the middle of the song this line comes up..."Maybe I'm mistaken Expecting you to fight"...now take this as you will, but consider the possibilities of what is happening right now in the world that we wont hear till its too late.... |
