8/22/03 Lyrics for the day

Album: Aenima
Track # 3: H

Without the skin, beneath the storm, under these tears the walls came down. And the snake is drowned and as I look in his eyes, my fear begins to fade recalling all of those times. I could have cried then. I should have cried then. And as the walls come down and as I look in your eyes my fear begins to fade recalling all of the times I have died and will die. It's all right. I don't mind. I am too connected to you to slip away, to fade away. Days away I still feel you touching me, changing me, and considerately killing me.
 
<hey, i'm a newbie to this site and this thread is the only reason i joined.>

i always thought 46 & 2 represented the number of chromosones in the body, with the 2 sex chromosones.
 
Welcome to GTPlanet! I have to ask - is your name Sage?

If so, you're one of 2 of you on this site. Look up a user called Sage, who's a moderator here. Shoot him a private message and say hi.
 
it means wise

Yeah - that is the irony of Sage's name (not you).

i always thought 46 & 2 represented the number of chromosones in the body, with the 2 sex chromosones.

Yeah, it's a great song so maybe it has several meanings. Which makes it just an even better song. Or maybe Maynard picked two completely random numbers just so people would discuss what it meant.

Thats what I absolutely love about T00L. They have multiple songs that can be interpreted in sooooo many ways. It's like getting 2-3 songs for the price of one :D

Take Eulogyfor example: it could easily be mistaken for a song about Christ, when it was actually written about Kirt Cobain.

Album: Aenima
Track #2: Eulogy

He had alot to say. He had alot of nothing to say. We'll miss him. So long. We wish you well. You told us how you weren't afraid to die. Well then, so long. Don't cry. Or feel too down. Not all martyrs see divinity. But at least you tried. Standing above the crowd he had a voice that was strong and loud. We'll miss him. Ranting and pointing his finger at everything but his heart. We'll miss him. No way to recall what it was that you had said to me, Like I care at all. So loud. You sure could yell. You took a stand on every little thing and so loud. Standing above the crowd, he had a voice so strong and loud and I swallowed his façade cuz I'm so eager to identify with someone above the ground, someone who seemed to feel the same, someone prepared to lead the way, with someone who would die for me. Will you? Will you now? Would you die for me? Don't you ****in' lie. Don't you step out of line. Don't you ****in lie. You've claimed all this time that you would die for me. Why then are you so surprised to hear your own eulogy? You had alot to say. You had alot of nothing to say. Come down. Get off your ****in cross. We need the ****in space to nail the next fool martyr. To ascend you must die. You must be crucified for your sins and your lies. Goodbye...
 
seriously? eulogy was written about kurt cobain? *big eyes* wow... i think i've heard other interpretations too, but i always assumed it was about jesus

Song: Pushit

I will choke until I swallow... Choke this infant here before me. What is this but my reflection? Who am I to judge and strike you down? But you're pushing and shoving me. You still love me and you pushit on me. Rest your trigger on my finger, bang my head upon the fault line. Take care not to make me enter. 'cause if I do we both may disappear. But you're pushing me, shoving me. Pushit on me. Slipping back into the gap again. I'm alive when you're touching me, alive when you're shoving me down. But i'd trade it all for just a little bit of piece of mind. Put me somewhere I don't wanna be. Seeing someplace I don't wanna see. Never wanna see that place again. Saw that gap again today as you were begging me to stay. Managed to push myself away, and you, as well. If, when I say I may fade like a sigh if I stay, you minimize my movement anyway, I must persuade you another way. There's no love in fear. Staring down the hole again. Hands upon my back again. Survival is my only friend. Terrified of what may come. Just remember I will always love you, even as I tear your ****ing throat away. But it will end no other way.

I love that song.
 
That isn't really a song, more of an interlude.

I don't have a favorite Tool song.

Actually, probably Parabol and then Parabola.

To beat the hell out of OA and his stupidly named bird. He's been threatening me with bird attacks for weeks on end.

Track #2: Hush

I can't say what I want to, even if I'm not serious. Things like.... **** yourself, kill yourself, you piece of shit. People tell me what to say, what to think, and what to play. I say..."Go **** yourself, you piece of shit. Why don't you go kill yourself? Just kidding.

Track #7: Hooker with a Penis

I met a boy wearing Vans, 501s, and a dope beastie-tee, nipple rings, and new tattoos that claimed that he was OGT, from '92, the first EP. and in between sips of coke he told me that he thought we were sellin' out, layin' down, suckin' up to the man. Well now I've got some advice for you, little buddy. Before you point the finger you should know that I'm the man, and if I'm the man, then you're the man, and he's the man as well so you can point that ****in' finger up your @ss. All you know about me is what I've sold you, Dumb ****. I sold out long before you ever heard my name. I sold my soul to make a record, Dip s*it, and you bought one. So I've got some Advice for you, little buddy. Before you point your finger You should know that I'm the man. If I'm the ****in' man then you're the ****in' man as well, So you can Point that ****in' finger up your @ss. All you know about me is what I've sold you, Dumb ****. I sold out long before you ever heard my name. I sold my soul to make a record, Dip s*it, And you bought one. All you read and Wear or see and Hear on TV Is a product Begging for your Fat@ss dirty Dollar So ... Shut up and Buy my new record Send more money **** you, buddy.


:cheers:

Track #4: Bottom

My compassion is broken now. My will is eroded, and my desire stolen and it makes me feel ugly. I'm on my knees and burning. My piss and moans are the fuel that set my head on fire. So smell my soul burning. I'm broken, looking up to see the enemy. I have swallowed the poison you feed me... but I survive on it, and it leaves me guilt fed, hatred fed, weakness fed.. and I feel ugly, and dead inside. **** adds up at the bottom. You've left me no choice but to go inside and rebuild what's broken. Too much, too far, too late to lie down now. I must arm myself to fight you by making weapons out of my imperfections. It's all I have left. There's no other choice. I'm shameless, nameless, nothing, and no one now. But my soul must be iron for my fear is naked. I'm naked and fearless. But I'm dead inside. You see.. **** adds up, now I'm dead inside. Hatred, weakness, and guilt keep me alive at the bottom.
 
Holy crap, I just finished doing this and the similarity is amazing.

Tool lovers, try this. Download the entire Parabol/a video, and synch it along with The Grudge. The song almost perfectly fits it.
