This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Here from the king's mountain view
Here from the wild dream come true
Feast like a sultan, I do
On treasures and flesh never few
But I, I would wish it all away
If I thought I'd lose you just one day
The devil and his had me down
In love with the dark side I'd found
Dabblin' all the way down
Up to my neck, soon to drown
But you changed that all for me
Lifted me up, turned me round
So I
I
I
I
I would
I would
I would
Wish this all away
Prayed like a martyr dusk to dawn
Begged like a hooker all night long
Tempted the devil with my song
And got what I wanted all along
But I
And I would
If I could
And I would
Wish it away
Wish it away
Wish it all away
Wanna wish it all away
No prize that could hold sway
Or justify my giving away my center
So if I could I'd wish it all away
If I thought tomorrow would take you away
You, my peace of mind, my all, my center
Just trying to hold on one more day
Damn my eyes!
Damn my eyes!
Damn my eyes if they should compromise the fulcrum
Wants and needs divide me then I might as well be gone
Shine on forever
Shine on benevolent sun
Shine down upon the broken
Shine until the two become one
Shine on forever
Shine on benevolent sun
Shine down upon the severed
Shine until the two become one
Divided, I'll wither away
Divided, I'll wither away
Shine down upon the many
Light our way, benevolent sun
Breathe in union
Breathe in union
Breathe in union
Breathe in union
Breathe in union
So as one survive
Another day and season
Silence, legion, save your poison
Silence, legion, stay out of my way
Here from the wild dream come true
Feast like a sultan, I do
On treasures and flesh never few
But I, I would wish it all away
If I thought I'd lose you just one day
The devil and his had me down
In love with the dark side I'd found
Dabblin' all the way down
Up to my neck, soon to drown
But you changed that all for me
Lifted me up, turned me round
So I
I
I
I
I would
I would
I would
Wish this all away
Prayed like a martyr dusk to dawn
Begged like a hooker all night long
Tempted the devil with my song
And got what I wanted all along
But I
And I would
If I could
And I would
Wish it away
Wish it away
Wish it all away
Wanna wish it all away
No prize that could hold sway
Or justify my giving away my center
So if I could I'd wish it all away
If I thought tomorrow would take you away
You, my peace of mind, my all, my center
Just trying to hold on one more day
Damn my eyes!
Damn my eyes!
Damn my eyes if they should compromise the fulcrum
Wants and needs divide me then I might as well be gone
Shine on forever
Shine on benevolent sun
Shine down upon the broken
Shine until the two become one
Shine on forever
Shine on benevolent sun
Shine down upon the severed
Shine until the two become one
Divided, I'll wither away
Divided, I'll wither away
Shine down upon the many
Light our way, benevolent sun
Breathe in union
Breathe in union
Breathe in union
Breathe in union
Breathe in union
So as one survive
Another day and season
Silence, legion, save your poison
Silence, legion, stay out of my way

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
No Surprises
Radiohead
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.

Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
Tool - Jambi
"Here from a kings mountain view, Here from the wild dream come true"
He is introducing the song by speaking from the perspective of someone who "has it all" in a material sense.
"Feast like a sultan, I do On treasures and flesh never few"
This person is only concerned about piling up materialistic idols and putting themselves over others.
"But I would wish it all, away If I thought I'd lose you just one day"
Although he has everything worldly, he would throw it all away if it meant getting rid of "you." (He is about to define "you")
"The devil and his had me down In love with the dark side I'd found"
He is relating this materialistic mentality of the world to the "dark side" or work of the devil.
"Dabblin' all the way down Up to my neck, soon to drown."
He uses the word Dabblin' to describe someone that is digging into this materialistic lifestyle almost as if he is searching for something but the lifestyle is taking over him too much and he is about to 'drown'.
"But you changed that all for me Lifted me up, turned me round So I, I would wish this all away"
But "you" changed that all for me. Here is that reference to "you" again and it is positive. It is the reason he would wish away the fleshy outlook of the world.
"Prayed like a martyr dusk to dawn Begged like a hooker all night long"
Half of the time this person acts very christ-like or pious but the other half of the time this person begs for this "dark side".
"Tempted the devil with my song And got what I wanted all along"
Although this person acts as if they are a noble and good person he is actually getting all of the materialistic and evil lifestyle he craved.
"But I I would If I could I would Wish it away Wish it away Wish it all away Wanna wish it all away
No prize that could hold sway Or justify my giving away my center"
This is a key lyric of the song, Maynard defines the "you" that "lifted me up, turned me round." It is his center. Tool is a very spiritual band and I can assure that the center referred to here is not a God, it is the center of himself. It his balance within Nature and this experience, his connection to "oneness" or the divine.
"So if I could I'd wish it all away If I thought tomorrow would take you away."
He would wish anything away that swayed him away from his center. He holds his center to a higher respect than his entire external experience.
"You, my piece of mind, my all, my center, just trying to hold on one more day."
Here he clearly defines "you." He's trying to hold onto his center and not be caught up in "treasures and flesh."
"Damn my eyes! Damn my eyes! If they should compromise the fulcrum"
If his eyes should take him away from his fulcrum (a reference to balance), then Damn them. Take away his ability to see in order to restore balance within himself.
"(If) wants and needs divide me Then I might as well be gone..."
He defines what could take him off balance and that is his own "wants and needs." If this does take off his balance, he might as well be dead (gone).
"Shine on forever Shine on benevolent sun"
This reference to "you" and "center" is related to the sun. Like a sun, shine on forever (beyond space and time). Let balance be larger than your current experience.
"Shine down upon the broken"
Some people have lost their way. In order to fix the broken from their dark side, let their center awaken in them and fix the problem. Remember, the sun is a reference to the center. He's not actually saying let the sun shine light on us and somehow be fixed. The sun is within.
"Shine until the two become one"
"Two become one" can mean many things, but the short version is to say that the sunlight is the answer and will fix the broken. "Two become one" is also a trinity (father, son, holy spirit). Son (you), holy spirit (the light within), father (god state - oneness). "Two become one" can also be seen as duality and oneness. Everything in this world is either a 1 or a 0 just like in the Matrix movie, it's duality (day-night, up-down, good-bad,) without it we would not have this experience. In the Matrix Neo gives up fighting his enemy and instead, lets his body merge with his enemy's. He gives up trying to make duality fight its other part, and instead lets the "two become one."
"Shine on forever Shine on benevolent sun"
Ironic that Maynard references your balance to the sun again because right after the scene I just described in the Matrix where Neo becomes his enemy, Neo appears as a sun in the final scene.
"Shine down upon the severed Shine until the two become one Divided, I'll wither away Shine down upon the many. Light our way, benevolent sun.
Breathe in union So, as one, survive Another day and season"
Breathe is a key word here. Breath is the whole focus of meditation and yoga which are two great techniques to finding your center and balance within duality. If everyone is following their center, we all act as one, and we survive to move forward.
"Silence, legion. Save your poison. Silence, legion. Stay out of my way."
Legion is a reference to the group of people still dabbling in the materialistic dark side. The people who seem to be holding onto everything but still can't find what they are looking for. Their poison won't effect the speaker.
One of my favourite interpretations ever.
@MakeSense I love your description here, and agree with almost all of it...I think he's referring to his center and the light that shines on the broken here as Christ, however. The word Legion is what gives it away at the very end. Legion is a biblical description of demon possession when someone is possessed by many demons. Christ is the only one who sets people free from Legion, and Christ is referred to as the the Light of the World (physically represented as the sun). He's the Center of all things, everything revolves around Christ. In the biblical story of creation, God says, "Let there be light," and there was light.... That was the FIRST day. Then, on the FOURTH day, God created the sun to govern the day and the moon to govern the night. Symbolism here is that, to the Lord, a day is as a thousand years and a thousand years as one day. In chronology, Christ is created on the first day, but He does not come to earth until the fourth day, 4000 years after the creation. He is the human tangible representative of God on earth. The spiritual light that we can actually comprehend. He came to set us free from the darkness, the evil, the legion. Christ is the center here, and Maynard really gets that across beautifully here.
@MakeSense Don't agree that the song implies anything about Christ specifically. It's obvious that Legion is a biblical reference, but it's possible to make biblical references without implying that you are a Christian. In the context of the song "Legion," the demon which is many, is intended to represent the opposite of oneness, the enemy: multiplicity of the mind, i.e. the lack of centeredness or one-pointedness of mind. Thereby, the verse:<br /> <br /> "Silence, legion. Save your poison.<br /> Silence, legion. Stay out of my way."<br /> <br /> may refer to other people, but it seems much more likely to refer to the speaker's own inherent tendencies that veer him away from the beautiful Sun, his centeredness.
@MakeSense I mostly agree, but it's very obvious that the 'you' he's talking about is not just a part of himself. It's something other than himself, because why else would he beg it to "shine down upon the broken, severed, and the many" and to "shine OUR way". <br /> Look, he's clearly talking about the division between God and humanity, something he pointed out in a different song as well: Right in Two. In this song he even says "shine until the two become one". This separation between creation and creator bothers him a lot. He revisits this issue multiple times in multiple other songs as well. <br /> And when he refers to Legion he not only means materialistic and egotistical distractions, he also literally means Legion as described in the Bible. <br /> <br /> Next time, be careful not to taint your understanding of a song with your own beliefs and wishes.
@darkaquatu I'm not disagreeing with you that he is obviously talking about something else when he says shine on forever or when he says shine our way. He clearly says he is talking about a "benevolent sun" and I clearly indicated that. As far as other songs go, yes, he talks a lot about monkeys and angels and such in right in two, but he is clearly talking about a center within himself here and a benevolent sun. As indicated by the lines:<br /> <br /> "You, my piece of mind, my all, my center" and also:<br /> "Shine on forever, shine on benevolent sun"<br /> <br /> I am also aware that Legion is referred to in the Bible, and that's all well and good. Congratulations for the Bible reference. 1 point for Jesus. Which by the way, are not referred to at all in this song. So how can you discern whether he was referring to the legion in the Bible or the legion in the world of warcraft? Sounds like you may be "tainting the song with your own beliefs and wishes"<br /> <br /> Also, I am unaware of how I am tainting this song with my "own interpretation" when how could I offer anything else other than my own interpretation? It's not like you know Maynard personally, or any of us for that matter, and could confirm with undeniable proof what exactly Maynard was thinking. I wrote this 8 years ago and in that time it has helped a small number of people who were curiuos enough to search for it here gain slightly more understanding. I am not the gospel truth and neither are you, this is our own interpretation whether you are aware of that fact or not.<br /> <br /> Next time you speak to your inner Maynard be sure not to believe everything he tells you. Cause you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man. :-)
@MakeSense I loved this interpretation. It was not personal, you made an amazing job keeping focused on the words themselves and not on the artist's personal context. Maybe it could be driven by the loss of his mother (who could be an important part of his "center" that he had to fight to keep after her absence from this world), but I really think that this is it about this song: our center is what drives us towards balance. It may include other people, or it may just be the whole experience as ourselves. THe beauty of this music is that it perfectly ressonates with a modern-age mantra. Tool really are one of the most spiritual bands I have ever heard :)
@MakeSense made an account just to dislike your interpretation.<br />
As far as people stating so adamantly "THIS IS ABOUT HIS MOTHER"...ok. So what? It may resonate some feelings about the relationship he has with his mother, but it can also be interpreted individualistically, about the relationship I have with my daughter, for example. I have had moments of despising everything and everyone...but my daughter. And I never will.
I don't really want to buy into the arguments, and I won't be arguing at all.
However, it is very...ironic?...that so many "Hardcore TOOL fans," insist that practically every song TOOL releases is about Maynard's mother. Interpreting the music that way, is not the real crime committed in and of itself...it's the added line people choose to give again and again, which is, "A real TOOL fan would know that." Which is ridiculous.
A real fan of TOOL would recognize that the band members are individual people, complex in every way as you and I (perhaps more the former than the latter), and the death of his mother is not the only thing that has ever happened in his life. TOOL should be, in my opinion, afforded more respect for their artistic abilities than this sort of pigeon-hole, so many creepy "fans" want to place them in.
The name of the band is TOOL. They are a TOOL. Sometimes for aggression. Sometimes for reflection. Sometimes used for anger. Sometimes for sadness. But, the key message in so many songs, is to evolve. Mainly to evolve past the "Stinkfist" manner of living, which society throws on us. And, claiming you are a "real" TOOL fan and others are not, because they don't point every single thing, specifically, back to the death of his Mother, is nothing but a "Stinkfist", in my opinion.
100% agreed. There is a great interview with the band members in revolver magazine. They said they want people to make up their own interpretations to the music, and NOT try and analyze and pick apart the music to figure out what the song means to the band. They said it. In the magazine, and it made me love them even more than I already did. Too many things (art, music, poetry) are picked apart, held under a microscope, beaten, and mutilated, by people trying to get out what meaning the author, writer, painter was trying to convey. Well, sometimes the meaning is meant to stay with the author, writer, painter, etc. and we're suppose to find out our own meaning. Instead of ruining the whole experience by being haughty, pompous, dick holes. Of course it's fin to have your own meaning and be curious and ponder what they were writing about, but when people can only see one side of it and then claim that others are not true fans... well that's just bullshit.
@pattycr I couldn’t have said it better. I agree with you completely.
Jambi is the name of the genie on the 80s show Peewee's Playhouse.
That ties in with the whole "wish" theme.
You've got it mate. Jambi is the genie that grants wishes. It was a children's programme, and it's about his losing his mother and his regret from being elsewhere all the time. Being occupied, consumed by the devil, his music career. It's all about his regret and just wanting to be able to take it back, wish it all away. This album is probably the easiest, most face-value album out of all others. Namely Lateralus and AEnima. There are some deep hidden double things in those songs. These songs are all very heart felt, about the loss of his mum, his coming to terms with and accepting some level of spirituality. Before she died, he hated religion, namely Christianity, because of his mum and her hypocritical, two-faced 'friends'. His mum was the only person that he ever felt a connection with, the only person he ever trusted. <br /> <br /> "The Devil and his had me down.<br /> In love with the dark side I'd found.<br /> Dabbling all the way down.<br /> Up to my neck, soon to drown.<br /> But you changed that all for me.<br /> Lifted me up. Turned me round."<br /> This explains how his mum was the one who changed him, changed his view on life, humans and the world in general. He felt he was drowning in his and everyone else's hatred, but she saved him from himself and the world. But too late. It was too late, and now, he's finally come to terms with everything, his mother's gone. And he just wants to take her back, he realizes his mistake.<br /> "So if I could I'd wish it all away, if I thought tomorrow would take you away<br /> You're my peace of mind, my home, my center<br /> I'm just trying to hold on one more day<br /> <br /> Damn my eyes...<br /> Damn my eyes...<br /> <br /> Damn my eyes if they should compromise our fulcrum<br /> if wants and needs divide me then I might as well be gone"<br /> <br /> Pretty self explanatory really. Beautiful song. To really understand any one song, you have to listen to evry word on every song on 10000 days, and Judith, APC. Wings For Marie, Right In Two. Brilliant band. Can't get enough of them<br /> <br />
FROM TOOLNAVY.COM
I think that this song is about how Maynard was on the brink of a problem with excess and he changed for his son, Beacause his son changed him.
Here from the king's mountain view (I am on top of the world) Here from the wild dream come true ( Its a dream come true) Feast like a sultan, I do ( I love the excess) On treasures and flesh never few ( money and women especially)
But I would wish it all, away If I thought I'd lose you just one day (But I love you and would give it up)
The devil and his had me down ( I know a dark side of excess) In love with the dark side I've found ( and I tended to like it ) Dabblin' all the way down ( I tried it all ) Up to my neck soon to drown. ( It was starting to be a problem)
But you changed that all for me ( but then you came into my life) Lifted me up, turned me round ( and I realized you were more important)
So I, I would wish this all away ( So I would give it up)
Pray like a martyr dusk to dawn ( Worshipped excess all night long) Beg like a hooker all night long ( begged for it...loved it...lived for it ) Shout to the devil with my song ( My Music got me all the excess) And got what I wanted all along ( And I got all I wanted and more)
But I I would If I could I would Wish it away Wish it away Wish it all away Wanna wish it all away ( I wanted to leave this life in a way) No person could hold sway ( nobody could tell me to change) Or justify my toe just a fine line (nobody could justify my being at the edge) Giving away my center ( I was giving away my energy and love )
So if I could I'd wish it all away If I thought tomorrow, they'd take you away ( I realize now )
You're my piece of mind, ( your my focus ) my own (my own son) my center (my new center of focus and love) I'm just trying to hold on One more day ( I am taking it day by day..like anyone else)
Damn my eyes! (damn these temptations I see all the time) Jambi Eyes.... Damn my eyes... If they should compromise A fulcrum (Damn them if they lead me to stray from the balance I have found) Want and need; ( I need to be mindful of what I want -vs- what I need) if I need, ( beacause if I need the excess ) Then I might as well be gone... ( I might as well not be here for you at all )
Shine on forever ( Let your love and spirit and who you are shine on forever) Shine on benevolent son (my SON ) Shine down upon the broken ( Let it shine on me untill my two personas balance) Shine on 'til the two become one (untill I find that balance through my love of son)
Shine on forever Shine on benevolent son Shine down upon the severed Shine [on 'til / until] the two become one (see above)
Divide and wither away ( If I try to keep these aspects divided I wither away) Divided, withering away Shine down upon the many, light our way, Benevolent son. ( Let your love of your son heal you )
Breathe in union ( So let these two aspects of myself come together)
So, as one, survive (And as one person survive) Another day and season (and it will get easier day to day ...season to season) Silence legion save your poison (And temptation to slip dont speak) Silence legion stay out of my way (And temptation to slip get out of my way)
I really feel like this is it.
A few things to keep in mind :
The whole Son/Sun thing and Jambi being a kingdom with a sultan in Indonesia is fine...Maynard loves the dual meanings....in between sniffs/sips of coke anyone ?
He talks in 10,000 days/Wings about the little light she gave to him he is going to let it shine to guide her home........hmmmm letting a light shine to heal and guide someone you love dearly..... (see above)
Also this song before 10k days/Wings makes sense in that it is about his relationship of focus with his future (son) into his relationship of focus with his past (mom)....nice transition in my opinion....
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jambi
The only reference I can really find to Jambi
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jambi_(Tool_song)<br /> <br /> Jambi" is a song by American progressive metal band Tool. The song is released as a single and the second track from their fourth studio album 10,000 Days. It was made officially available for radio airplay on February 12, 2007.[1][2] Adam Jones uses a talk box effect during the guitar solo.[3]<br /> <br /> The song is in 9/8 time, except for the guitar solo where the rhythm is temporarily changed to 6/4 before going back to 9/8.<br /> <br /> It primarily refers to the iambic meter used in the lyrics of the song as 'jambi' means 'iamb' in Finnish.[4]<br /> <br /> Drummer Danny Carey stated when bassist Justin Chancellor played the bass track of the song, it instantly reminded him of the children's television program Pee-wee's Playhouse, then singer Maynard James Keenan thought of the genie "Jambi" and had the idea to make the song's theme about making wishes
LOL That's cool. Jambi is a province in Indonesia by the coast of Sumatra. In ancient times Sumatra was known as "The island of gold" I'm sure you can see the reference and correlation to the song.
I thought Jambi came from the Finnish word for "wish" because that's the song's theme. Only me, though.
Then it wouldn't be Jambi, because the Finnish word for wish is toivoa(to wish) and toivomus(a wish). However Jambi does mean iamb in Finnish, but I don't think it was the main reason that made them name the song Jambi. After all, the idea for the lyrics came from the character Jambi the Genie like mentioned above.
Trexor. just cause your relatives touched you in the shower doesn't mean you have to hate everyone and everything. we won't touch your special area... i'll hit it with a fucking club though if you don't shut up.
TREXOR, a little lesson you should've learned from elementary: if you don't have anything pleasant to say, don't say it at all. Fine, you're opinion that this song sucks, it's only an opinion. As for anyone that wants to bash TREXOR, it ain't worth it and you're no better than he is.
Awesome song instrumentally O_O Adam outdid himself on the guitar in the beginning... it's like glue, lol. For anyone that doesn't know (someone else mentioned this in the 10,000 Days thread, kudos to them for recognizing this), 10,000 days = 27 years --- the amount of years between Maynard's mother's crippling stroke and her death. This song I think is just Maynard's way of saying "I miss you, why couldn't you take me with you, mom?"
Awesome track, admittedly different to Lateralus, but then again Aenima was different to Undertow likewise Undertow different to Opiate.
Tool are progressing naturally, but the important thing is that they still sound like Tool, and that's something no other band can ever do.
And if this "Trexor" Guy thinks this is a fake? He's in for a hell of a shock when he picks up the album.
Jambi is the name of the genie off of the old show Pee-Wee's Playhouse.
After the 5:00 mark in the song, it just completely owns the rest of the way.
divided I'm withering away, shine on upon the many, light our way, benevolent son!
