According to Maynard, "the song is about tendencies not about a specific individual. It's about tendencies of people wanting to stand on a soapbox and sacrifice themselves in some way. We don't need that process anymore. You're on your own now. "
Thanks for sharing that. I love that.
This is the first time I’ve heard this and it’s awesome. Thanks
"not all martyrs see divinity , but at least you tried". i dont know why but i always laugh at that line
Great line!
The scream at the end of this song is so underrated!! One of Maynard's best!!
That was amazing!
When tool first came out there was no internet to look up what other people thought the meanings were. We simply had to make our own meanings after repeated listens and life lessons
My favorite band and if I HAD to pick a favorite song from all the albums, I think this song would be it!!! #Toolforever
Great song! Loving my TOOL journey.
This intro is everything ❤
💯
Every time i take guitar i play this whole song just for that ending :D But the whole song is also fun...
Another great reaction, I believe his longest scream is in the grudge and it’s around 25 seconds
Thanks so much! I can barely hold my breath for that long 😅
This is a great song to see them do live in the 90s . It will blow you away.
Must be awesome live!
TOOL Army, unite...!
❤️🤟
Hell yeah!! 🤘🤘
Hey Saeed, I firmly believe their art was meant to be interpreted by the individual. A great example of that is in the song Invincible. I'm an almost 44 year old woman with a professional systems analyst career and that song has touched me so much;I've sobbed many times listening to it. But when you interepret the lyrics at face value, nothing about the song seems like it could resonate with a 44 year old woman in my position.
That's a 47-year-old retired paramedic with PTSD. That song brings me to tears every time. Even though like you said, the words that face value don't seem to convey that message.
Tool lyrics are very seldom meant to be taken at face value. Tool expects a little more of its fans than that. If the song resonated deeply with you, then you interpreted it correctly. 😊
Thank you for sharing that. I hope to check out Invincible soon.
@RosettaStoned462 Amazing name you have!! :D
Some say this is about L. Ron Hubbard, but who knows, really? That's the genius of Maynard. His lyrics are usually oblique and open to interpretation. To me it's about someone of the false prophet kind. Maynard's longest scream is the one in The Grudge, 25 seconds. Superhuman, really. But this one is one of his best for sure.👍🤘
I need to listen to the studio version of The Grudge to hear that one.
@SaeedReacts. You mean you haven't yet??! My favorite TOOL song. Never gets old.
This song is about the comedian Bill Hicks who died in 1994. There is a painting of him on the inside of the cd sleeve. Tool were big fans of Bill
Thanks for letting me know. I have seen his special Sane Man a long time ago.
@@SaeedReacts.What is interesting is Ren has mentioned Bill Hicks in a couple of interviews.
I can’t remember right now which Bill Hicks is telling me a joke. That’s how the song starts but another masterpiece.
They don't play this one live very often, but I saw it in Seattle '04 and recently in Minneapolis...this year
Glad you got to see it!
Yo! This song. Track 2, album 2 and Tool went right into GOAT level. The calm build, the drop. Top 5 outro. Still one of my faves! I used to drum a bit back then and when Danny hit that break I was like, Damn! Do I have any idea what drumming is? 😄 I didn't get the song meaning at first, but essentially watch out for false leaders, prophets, and the like... we're on to you now.
Thanks for sharing the journey!
I like that watch out for false prophets!
AEnima is a great song you should react to. just think enema but in the perspective of Tool...F Los Angeles
Sounds good! Will definitely do that one as well. Thanks!
exactly yeah that song goes hard! :)
I absolutely agree!
The great thing about a Tool is that it fits the hand which welds it. Maynard gives a premise and lets the listener fill in the gaps. All on a journey if you will, and so far you have been correct about meanings to his madness. You do know Maynard has three bands which are all active. Tool, A :Perfect Circle, and Puscifer.
I like that description. Fits the hand that welds it! That's straight out of a fantasy novel 😀. I am really enjoying this music. So thought provoking.
Tool is like no other band, and each member has their own side projects.
🤘🏻🌀
🤟
There's no wrong way to go about listening to tool.
Several good screams by Maynard through the discography. This one has a great change in texture that I love.
Still loving these reacts!
Thanks for watching, James. Have a great day.
The scream in Jerk Off is one of my favorites.
I’ve been following the band since the beginning. The early rumors in the 90s was this was Maynard saying goodbye to his relationship with Henry Rollins They were tight in the beginning
Maynard has said in lyrics he'll replace other people for himself. I think in this one he's actually talking about himself. In 1996 this album had an underlying theme of killing the ego. Some ppl think it's abt L Ron Hubbard , that's too simple of an attack for him. Confronting himself plays out later in H., Jimmy, 46&2 , PushIt and Third Eye,...Stinkfist has a little reference also
I could definitely see that is about himself and egodeath. Love that.
Really cool video :) yeah my cousin got me into this band been listening to them for a little while a year or less... I like the pot the most probably and other songs i like a lot to! have a good day yall! that part was funny somewhere you where like WOW 0_0
Thanks so much! Only recently discovered TOOL and am enjoying the journey. Have a great day.
Same here discovered them a little while ago same thing basically... Your welcome! :) have a awesome day! @eacts.
His longest scream is in the studio version of the Grudge, 25ish seconds (supposedly he was going for 27. As in Saturn's cycle). You did a live recording. So, you didn't hear the full thing. You should REALLY do the album version.
Right that was the lyric video with the live recording. Definitely need to do the studio version.
Great reaction. I want to suggest that you react to Mad Season "River of Deceit". It's right up your alley.
Thanks! I will add that one to my list.
I’ve always thought about it as having a ego death
Ooh, that didnt cross my mind. Love that interpretation.het
Great Reaction! While this song can be about L Ron Hubbard or Jesus, I prefer to take it as a metaphor. My ego has a lot of nothing to say, everyday I need to crucify it. This band is a tool to self improvement, if you work at it. Spiral out! 🌀🌀🌀
I love that interpretation. Thanks!
Considering he speaks of 'crucifying the ego' in his other works it's a pretty safe bet that's the root of Eulogy, it is for me anyway! 👍
I know people are going to come in here with the L Ron Hubbard angle but I always interpreted this as being a about Jesus and religion in general….. especially with Maynard’s early views on church. Who else claimed they would die for you (r sins) etc… He had a very tumultuous relationship with religion because when his mother had a brain aneurysm her church claimed she was being punished for her sins… she never lost faith….. but Maynard did… she spent 10,000 days ( thus the name of an album) in a wheelchair In a bad way…. When you get to wings for Marie and 10,000 days ( which need to be done together) you will see more…. Awesome as always and sorry for being so damned wordy lol😂
Exactly.
Funny how her devotion through it inspired at least me, and probably alot of tool fans.
Wait a second? I’ve never heard a church claimed she “deserved” to suffer. Source?
@@sveltland 100% inspired Maynard
💯 It isn't about L. Ron Hubbard, but it can be applied to LRH. It isn't about Jesus, but it can be applied.
gonna grab some magic shrooms, brb lol
Hey, where you at? Still waiting!
@@SaeedReacts. I made it back!! ha
good times
I always thought the song was a sardonic appraisal about the life and death of Jesus Christ. However, Maynard usually writes in metaphors so that could mean that Jesus' life and death are mostly being used as metaphors to more broadly apply it to whomever you'd like. It's no secret though that Maynard is not a fan of Christianity; he has said as much. The song "Judith", in A Perfect Circle, seems to confirm some of those frustrations he had with his mother's religion. BUT, other songs like the 2 part/2 track song 10,000 Days is about his posthumous sentiments towards his mother and her illness -- regarding her as a mother and her stoic battle -- which seems to not be expressing his usual frustration with her religion. Rather, Maynard seems to be respectfully using the occasion of her death to say that if anyone deserved to go to heaven, it would be his mom. It is a heart breaking 2 part song that I cannot listen to without crying -- if I am reading or reciting the lyrics and/or watching someone react to this song on CZcams. It's an amazing composition! I highly recommend reacting to them both in one video reaction.
Oh wow, thanks for this. Those seem like powerful songs. Hope to get to those eventually. Have a good one, my friend.
@@SaeedReacts. Thank you, and best wishes to you and hopefully, much success with your CZcams channel.
100% about jesus...as per my interpretation.
