    The beautiful thing about Tool's lyrics is that Maynard writes them into the song after Adam, Danny and Justin compose the music. Its simply amazing how he can write the lyrics to fit the music perfectly.

    Tool fans know how good this song is but, underrated to the general public. I see what you're saying about the aggressive part being war or fighting. Right before that part hits, Maynard in the background is saying....
    Fight till they die over sun, over sky
    They fight till they die over sea, over air
    They fight till they die over blood, over love
    They fight till they die over words, polarizing

    To me this song resonates everything, that we as humans, have failed at. War begin as soon as we could figure out how to make weapons. It’s a beautiful composition and my favorite by this band. The angels want to know why we chose this path, they can’t even understand the pain and death that we have chose

Caring for one’s neighbor and building strong communities. We will need to return to that soon if we want to keep surviving! 😅

    So I’ve only watched two of your videos, both were Tool, but bro. I absolutely love how you focus on the drums because I feel like Tool’s usage of percussion is often overlooked because of Maynard’s voice and the guitar effects. Tool has always been an 11 out of 10 band for me. Vocals, instrumentals, lyrics, album artwork (shoutout to Alex Grey), everything. I’m so happy to see someone else appreciating their work. You definitely caught this sub bro.

  • @CNCMatrix
    @CNCMatrix ปีที่แล้ว

    This song is CRAZY.
    It's about how God (if there is one) gave us freewill and the Angels in heaven are asking him why, telling him how much bad we've done to each other because of it.
    Looking down, then looking to God and asking him when/if he wants them to do something about it.
    He gives us thumbs, we use them to forge blades and clubs to kill each other when there's no need to because there's enough on this planet to feed us all. There's no reason to, but we still do it because we strayed from God's word.
    Even if you're not religious, the lines:
    "How they've survived so misguided is a mystery"
    "Repugnant is a creature who would squander the ability to lift an eye to heaven, conscious of his fleeting time here" which references our willingness to refuse the notion that God exists, even though he's tried to tell us how to be good to one another and show us the way into heaven and even if you don't believe in the word of God you've still strayed and aren't a good person.
    It reminds me of a guy I work with that HATES religion because "they kill in the name of their God"
    He shut right up when I asked him what excuse people that don't believe in religion or a God have when they kill, which is rising in numbers as people have become less religious in America.
    At the end of the day, we all have freewill, regardless of whether or not you are religious. We make the decisions for ourselves.

    Maynard is telling a 'story', you have to hear more than a few sentences from it to understand what he's saying. Make sense??

    • @sgtjonray
      @sgtjonray 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Not usually. Typically the voice is used as the primary and the instruments are used secondarily, to compliment the voice. Here we are listening to the voice being integrated into the sing like an instrument, just another part of the composition.

  • @prefono
    @prefono ปีที่แล้ว +1

    One of the most widespread interpretations says that this song is about Lucifer's rebellion. Only the angels who then rebelled could have questioned the Father's decisions. In fact, then we talk about a war that could be the one between men, but it is probably the endless one between the angels faithful to God and those who do not understand and do not approve that an inferior creature like man can have the love of the creator without deserving it.

    Maynard absolutely uses his voice as an instrument, it's basically the whole reason they intentionally keep him low in the mix so often!

    As you get close to "No Quarter" listen to the Led Zep original first. The Tool version is the perfect homage.

    This song has always fascinated me. Something I don’t think gets enough attention is that the structure of the song is a story in itself. One way to interpret the song, in my opinion, is human evolution and the passing of time.
    The song starts out very simple (by Tool standards) which could represent how we started out as simple creatures - talking monkeys. As time has gone on, humans have become more complicated and “divided”. The song matches that and slowly progresses to become faster, louder, and more complex. Ultimately ending in a big finale that brings us right back to the start..

    Maynards voice is like diving from a precipice into the abyss.

    The song is from the view of the Angels in Heaven.
    They are questioning the "Creator's" motives for why he gave his "greatest" creation such free will to disobey.
    These talking monkeys are blessed by God with all the cognition and reasoning, yet they choose to divide everything amongst themselves and fight each other for it and over trivial things when Eden (the World/Paradise created FOR us) has everything we need. Yet we still fight each other and horde all the things for ourselves. Its the paradox of humanity.

    Sweet, this is currently my favorite Tool song. Try not to listen to new ones cause they always get me. Ticks and Leaches is pretty awesome on that note. The drum solo toward the last 3rd of this is my all time favorite. This band can literally put me in a trance. Look at the cover art for these tunes, then read the Biblical descriptions of angels. This is from Genisis. Cain and Abel. Greed and envy will ensure they must cut it all right in two. The tribal drumming could signify Africa, the cradle of mankind.

    Humans are alive to remember the horrors of what we are capable of. If there wasn't more good than bad than we would not be alive to have these revelations.

    I see the drum build as starting as a communal and tribunal circle of a tribe and then as division develop moving to war drums and chaos ending in violence and then sudden silence and mourning for the loss of the creators intent for a peaceful race of happy humans that have been reduced to a warring band of unreasoning animals hence the monkey reference.

    I interpret this song as evolving beyond violence. As a choice between violence and peace and choosing peace. Choosing to offer the enemy the other cheek after he's slapped you.

    We're the angels on the sidelines.
    This song is about the illusion of Duality. There aren't any "others"... that's the illusion that's kept us tearing each other apart since Adam realized he was naked (ability to metacognize)... that was an allegory for the fall of man (descent into Duality). Adam was naked...but he didn't know he was naked until he took a bite...so to speak.
    And you are absolutely right about the language. Our Dualistic language has kept us in bondage.
    I'll give an example. "The wind blows". This simple coherent statement in the English language seems harmless, but our language holds domain over how we perceive rrality, and language consistently reinforces this to us relentlessly. . Now, is there a blower of the wind, and wind that obeys some sort of commander of the wind? Obviously not, there's only 1 thing happening here, there is ONLY the wind.. however, when you have a language that adheres to a military chain of command (King/servant or God/inferior) we act accordingly... and we feel we're right in two.. ..right in our Dualistic way of seeing the world.

    I always thought it was less about humans turning from god, so much as about humans turning on each other. Were not one. Give us thumbs we forge a blade, we make a club we divide the land, draw lines in the sand. Every gift we were supposedly given divides us from each other. Certainly from the perspective of an angel we are idiots dividing our gifts and power instead of sharing it and being united in its use. Were obsessed with dichotomies because a spectrum doesnt allow us to say that one aspect is better. But when we split things in two, its easier for us to elevate one and vilify the other.

    This is an anthem for collectivism, socialism. Unfortunately, if we americans are to uphold our high standard of living, capitalism, commercialism, waste is the only economic model that will sustain our prominence. Do you really want to give up your standard of living? Only you can judge your greed over altruism,my friends. Your conscience and the gods will ultimately decide.
