Undertow Lyrics

I'm pretty confident that this song is about addiction. There are too many songs written by Maynard in the early days of Tool that are so clearly about 'Opiate's and 'H' specifically to ignore that possibility. However, I was singing along to this song last night and had an interesting thought.

Could this song possibly be using a dual meaning to reference the death of Jeff Buckley as well? Just a thought :)

@reilly1202 Well...good thought, but Undertow was released in 1993, Jeff Buckley died in 1997
