    Shades of cozen indigo refers to shedding false tears. Also followed by lemon juice up in your eye... producing tears that have no basis in emotion. The word cozen describes something deceptive and indigo is almost exclusively artificially manufactured in the modern age (its is no longer derived naturally). So many people don't understand how simple this lyric is. It is simply false tears, or a putting on a show with no substance behind it.

      Also "weeping shades of indigo" to me brings up images of Tammy Fay Baker crying obviously fake tears as her indigo blue mascara runs down her cheeks. Shed without a reason.

    • @chriscostas8143

    You know the reason your channel is becoming more and more popular is that there are so many people out there who love to talk about music and break it down the way you two do, but have no one close to them in their lives to discuss it with. I feel like when I watch your videos I'm in the middle of an awesome conversation about songs/bands I absolutely love. Good luck getting my wife or co-workers to have a constructive conversation about metal songs lol, which is why I think so many people resonate with the channel.

    "Now you're weeping shades of cozened indigo - got lemon juice up in your eye"
    Cozened means to act deceitfully. With that said, no one is deceiving the color indigo.
    Indigo is a colour that is often associated with spirituality. The Ajna Chakra's colour is Indigo, Indigo children, etc. It's also the colour the sky turns when the stars first come out, and so has been associated with star-watchers (shamans, etc) for along time now.
    This line is about people like Pat Robertson, L Ron Hubbard, televangelists, religious scammers, etc. who criticize all day long and get away with it because they hide behind the curtain of "religion".

    The color Indigo is associated with enlightenment and spirituality, and "cozened" is a synonym for fake or phony, so I guess Maynard is talking about people (maybe leaders) who claim to be "enlightened" and give off a fake sense of sensibility...or pretend to empathize with the group of people they want to deceive... if that makes sense.

      It is a reference to "Indigo Children". It is a term used to describe people born with high intellegence, and/or extraordinary abilities. Usually they have trouble functioning in society. Indigo is supposed to be the color of the Aura which surronds them. The shade of Indigo represents the different levels of their intelligence, and abilities. The most common cases are those with ADHD, or Autism. The song was written after he was sued by lawyers that had once represented him.

      The studio version pushed the limits of song writing, and I think they're able to maximize/take advantage of producing the sound to its full potential in studio, but the live (salival) version will just blow you away. I wish I could experience the live version personally.

      I was lucky enough to hear them open their set with it the last time I saw them in concert. The song that's eluded me every show I've gone to is Ticks and Leeches. I've heard they don't play it often because it can cause Maynard to lose his voice, but...man...to see Danny Carey rip through the drums on that song would allow me to die happy.

      I can't believe I don't see this more often. I love the pot, and the other two songs that they did but they keep playing radio songs because alot of the people requesting them heard them on the radio. . I can only assume any tool fan that knows their whole catalogue also knows that their best stuff isn't on the radio. The grudge to me is the most accessable of their best songs. Songs along the lines of (eulogy, right in two, pushit, third eye) would probably be the next step after the grudge. If they do vicarious or jambi next I might have an aneurysm. Also, ticks and leeches would be great.

    You nailed the interpretation. It's about marijuana and the hypocrisy of others -- mostly politicians and the moral authority -- that point fingers at the "filthy pot smokers," when they themselves are just as dirty. Of course, like most Tool songs, it's packed full of double entendres, meanings and innuendo.
    "The Pot" is literally pot (marijuana), and the proverbial "pot that calls the kettle black."

  • @ryanclough5126
    @ryanclough5126 Před 6 lety +57

    Not too sure about the "Weeping shades of cozen indigo" but I did a quick look and one of the first things I found; "Indigo is a colour that is often associated with spirituality. The Ajna Chakra's colour is Indigo, Indigo children, etc. It's also the colour the sky turns when the stars first come out, and so has been associated with star-watchers (shamans, etc) for along time now.
    "Now you're weeping shades of cozened indigo - got lemon juice up in your eye"
    I think is a jab at the Helen "won't somebody think of the children" Jovejoy type of people, who use religion (i.e. spirituality) as an excuse to stifle other peoples spirituality (in this case, drug use).
    So "the pot" is weeping shades of indigo shed without a reason, is moral authorities (religious types) doing immoral things (judging, jailing, scrutinizing, etc) in the name of morality."

    At one time the color indigo signified a high monetary or power status... a social status. Cozen = trick or deceive, to obtain by deception. These two definitions fit with the rest of the lyrics about hypocrisy and all that... I just saw a few comments from earlier that sounded similar. So this hypothesis may be the closer fit. But then again, who knows how Maynard thinks?

      Matthew, can you point me to where they mention that? I believe you, but I'd like to parse their words myself.
      Regardless, it's unfortunate. I would hope that in their quest to be objective, they could separate the art from the artist. Kind of like I do with Dead Prez. They've got some pretty explicitly anti-white lyrics, but because I like their music, I choose to interpret those lyrics as more anti-establishment or anti-upper class.

    "weeping shades of cozened indigo"
    I think it refers to someone who is jaded and cynical (cozened), but they are still inflated on a previous peak spiritual experience (indigo), maybe from psychedelics. Now they have lost their insight, but they still identify with it, and they lash out at people and the world.
    I've been there. This song was hard for me to stomach when it came out - a direct punch to the blind-spot. So was Rosetta Stoned.

    YES another TOOL reaction!!! Shit yeah!

    You guys should definitely listen to "H". Great instrument and probably the best lyrics of any tool song.

    Guys, for your next Tool song, please do Aenema from the album Aenima. It's a masterpiece. You'll thank me later.

    Danny Carey (the drummer) is one of the greatest drummers imo. He has this effect on songs that you don't see from many drummers, again imo. While many drummers really enhance songs very well, it feels as if Carey plays the right stuff at the right time in a way I don't know how to describe.
    At any rate, the next Tool song you guys react to should be one of three songs... Right in Two, Vicarious, or Schism.

      YES. This is some great, dark sounding tool. And talk about a build up! Not sure they're ready for this kind of song, but I would love to see their reaction anyway. I'm sure they'd have a lot to say.

    • @Bellathor
      @Bellathor Před 6 lety +2

      As awesome as that whole album is, Drive Home might be a better first choice, even more so because it features one of THE BEST instrumental parts I've ever heard. That Guthrie solo is something else... They would probably enjoy the whole "Porcupine Tree- In Absentia" record, it has a ton of groove

    • @theAngusmaster101
      @theAngusmaster101 Před 6 lety

      I'm just speaking from experience. The Raven that Refused to Sing got me into Steven Wilson and I actually wasn't a fan of Drive Home until I watched the film clip...

    3 years old. And I still go back and watch this. It's because of the dissection of the song that most other channels have lost. Good job.
