It is a recipe in german, using references to "the eggs (or balls) of satan".
To me, it is a test.
Imagine someone listening to this song for the first time, and thinking "ohh these guys sing about satan and stuff in german, probably leading some nazi revolution" and they are immediately turned off, and label tool as "satan worshipping nazis" or something.
The said person would have failed the test.
This song to me, tests a persons ability to thnk for themselves, and to think without blindly judging something.
I do imagine the point of this song is about thinking for yourself. But honestly (and sadly) I don't doubt that a good number of Tool kids are pretty fond of this song without knowing the meanings. BECAUSE dude mentions Satan. And I say kids, because honestly if you're a grown fucking adult and say you like a song, without knowing what it's saying or even talking about, you suck some pretty sweaty nuts.

If what you say is true, in that eggs are a German eupheism for balls, the songs is designed, in addition to the obvious part, to say Satan has no balls.

I agree with your interpretation except for the focus being on the band. They usually have a larger philosophical picture in mind. As such, I see it as a larger statement of not judging a book by its cover and digging deeper before you apply judgement. Use your analytical skills not just an unthinking emotional snap judgement. Even in messages that sound bad, there could be something more there. Look deeper.

Again, I think we agree on the general concept. I just think the focus isn’t intended for the band itself. Think wider. They are not...

Well said both of you. I couldn't agree more.
