I guess I will be the one to explain the lyrics. Maynard loves his double entendres, while it is called Stinkfist which is a nickname of a “sexual” act it’s actually about letting ourselves become desensitized and numb to vices. It’s not talking down to having bad habits but to not let it get to the point where you need more. This will lead to addiction where you need more and more to the extremes. They use the graphic depiction of “Stinkfist” as an example. Finger Deep to Knuckle Deep to Elbow deep to finally the impossible shoulder deep. Don’t let your wants and needs control you!
If you like this style of tool song, consider putting Jambi on the list. That song has one of the best bass drops, but is starting to get a little bit more into the odd time signature stuff that Tool is so well known for. Spiral out!
In about 3 to 4 more Tool songs I predict you saying That they are your Favorite Band. I got turned on to them with there first E.P Opiate. Spiral Out Dude! The singer has two other bands, A perfect circle and Pucifer. Check out The song Judith from a perfect circle
"This may hurt a little but it's something you'll get use to..."
Relax, turn around and take my hand.
The best Tool song is always the one you just listened to.

Every new song you hear from them will be the best one you've ever heard. It's the gift and the curse

I started listening to this song young enough that I understood the philosophy in the writing before I knew it had anything to do with sex. Lol
Another generation learning the greatness...it's eternal 😎
Also- greatest double entendre ever written:
“Relax
Turn around and
Take my hand”
That is a great one! ❤ there old and new stuff they are just an incredible band🤩💯🔥🚒🎸🥁🎤
I also love the double meaning of “turn around and take my hand” Maynard humor at his finest 😂
"This has to be the best one yet!" You will make that statement alot.

Tool is the best. Should try some Rage Against The Machine.
I’ve reacted to rage but haven’t in a while I’ll get that one up
Everything, in moderation….
I get the sexual reference but it's really just about how we have become desensitized to atrocious behavior
Just so you know whistling into the mic is never a good idea
