The song touches on the criticism that Chevelle have received from some quarters that they are just clones of acts such as progressive-metal band Tool. Pete Loeffler explained to Artist Direct: "It's about getting s--t from peers and people saying that you're ripping somebody else off. As you're coming up in the world of music, you're going to get a lot of s--t. People are trying to figure out what you are and what you're doing, and they want to label you. I'm thumbing my nose at that conversation. A lot of people will still say that we sound like Tool. It happens every time we put an album out. I'm certainly not going for that; I'm trying to be honest with what I like to play. 'Clones' touches on that a lot." -taken from songfacts website
This is the first I've heard of this. I find it VERY strange that anyone would say Chevelle sounded like Tool. Tool sucks and all their stuff sounds exactly alike. Chevelle sounds like a melodic lullaby, it's beautiful. lol.

While I do like Tool I do not like them near as much as a i do Chevelle, and to say they sound alike is lost with me. So this would surprise me as well.

@Joel2point0 Tool and chevelle are two of my favorite bands, they may sound similar but the feeling while listening to each band is too diferent. That's my opinion.
