All rockstars promote and encourage wicked behaviour and sin! Be advised! Turn to Christ and repent! I once was fooled and beguiled by this band over 20 years ago, and now I know what they are and what they stand for! They are damning millions to hell!!! Ephesians, your retarded!!!! And even if that is what his meaning behind the lyrics are, that is his choice. Why all the hatred? I really like this song but it has a different meaning to me. When you listen to it you see the anti-Christ, when I listen to it I see struggles I've gone thru.
For such "a strong believer" in Christianity, you sure act like everything your not suppose to be. God is the only one who is suppose to pass judgement, and you thinking you can do a godly act is blasphemy in itself!!! My thoughts stemmed just from my point during my addiction. A justification for using while realizing damage that is done during the process. But I'm happy to rattle cages with my perspectives.
However right or wrong they may be. Peace Love Bunny on March 02, Ephesians lol! I could start debating with you about your invisible friend, but it wouldn't change anything. It's just funny to see the hypocrisy: you so called "Christians" condemn and judge daily the people who your own Jesus was gathering around himself! Where is the "Jesus loves you all"?
However I feel sorry for people like you. Luvanir on October 14, Although I have the thought that the whole "I am just a worthless liar The center could be your physical self i. I don't know though. It makes a lot more sense in my head than it does on here albeit I didn't do the best job of portraying it but hopefully people can see what I was trying to get at. I had the same thought but I think you expounded on it much more proficiently than I did.
You should really work at not being so indoctrinated. Your little rant was actually kind of sad. Carcigenicate on April 15, I as a father of a 6 year old and a 9 year old, as well as a husband to a wife of 13 years Your post, it hit me really hard. Because even in my drunkenness the examples you gave I remember like they were yesterday even though I wanted to forget them. I'm 31, I make enough money to not have to worry about financial things in general, but the question for me still remains "Why can't I not be sober".
Its a struggle but you have just helped me and will continue to help me with my problem. I sincerely thank you. Piffix on February 08, They become another person because of their addiction and they are saying "I am a worthless liar. I will chew it up and leave. I will work to elevate you, Just enough to bring you down. I think the only think I would add as food for thought is the references to Jesus and Mother Mary with regards to the past is that most recovery programs have a spiritual or religious reliance as well as addressing the past in order to recover.
This may be an admonishment of the need to rely on religion to recover Acehigh on January 24, General Comment Maynard creates a character that epitomizes self hatred. This song to me paints a picture of the loop this man gets caught in, where he hates himself, and absolutely wallows in it.
Instead of looking for change, he persists in this stubborn cycle of nostalgia and depression. He just wants to start it over, but he's too fucked up by now to do it. This is one of the only Tool songs that i don't see the "light at the end of the tunnel" Tunes24 on October 03, Link. At that point real change can occur. Tunes24 agreed. I do think it may be because of alcohol and drug abuse as well.
This is his personification of himself at his worst and lowest. Absolutely correct too minty33 altamber8 on July 12, General Comment As numerous people have said before, yes, the chorus is a double-negative. I don't know if anyone else said this already, but I think Maynard was being clever with this song; the narrator is a drunk and a selfish hypocrite. Yes, he is an alcoholic.
It follows him everywhere no matter how much he drinks and "points every finger at him" AKA he knows he is responsible for his own faults, but will not accept it. He knows he is just a worthless liar, and is not willing to do anything about it. Everyone who has ever cared about him, he only made their lives more complicated by causing them the pain of watching his addiction consume him; they trusted him to take care of himself, but he let them down trust in me and fall as well.
The people who loved him watched as he destroyed himself I will find a center in you, I will chew it up and leave , and despite numerous attempts at rehab, no matter how good things looked, he always reverted back to drinking I will work to elevate you, just enough to bring you down. I'm broken, looking up to see the enemy. I have swallowed the poison you feed me 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 noone now. But my soul must be iron for my fear is naked.
I'm naked and fearless. But I'm dead inside. You see.. Hatred, weakness, and guilt keep me alive at the bottom. I tried to keep ahold, but there was nothing I could say.
You slid and crept away and there was nothing I could say. So what you're trying to say is you don't wanna play.
But what you want and what you need doesn't mean fuck to me. Because I can see your back is turning. If I could I'd stick the knife in.
Why don't you watch where you're wandering? Why don't you watch where you're stumbling? You're wading knee deep and going in. And you may never come back again. But still you stumble in stumbling. So suffocate or get out while you can. It's twice as clear as heaven, and twice as loud as reason. It's deep and rich like silt on a riverbed and just as undisturbing. It surrounds and drowns and sweeps me away.
I've been baptized by your voice. But I'm so comfortable. Far too comfortable. Why don't you kill me, I'm weak and numb and insignificant, and I'm back on my knees. I'm back down.
I'm in the undertow. I'm helpless and awake in the undertow. I'll die within your undertow. It seems there's no other way out of this undertow. Let's go digging. Bring it out to take you back in. Lay back and let me show you another way. I'll kill what you want me to, take what's left and eat it.
Take all or nothing. Life's just too short to push it away. Take it all. Take it all in. All the way in. Let it go. Let it go in. You won't feel what you'd like to feel. If you knock me down I'll come back running, knock you down, it won't be long now All the way in. All the way. Take it up higher. Give in now and let me in. You'll like this in Don't pull it out.
It brings us closer than dying and cancer and crying. Come on. You can take it all. Just like that. I scramble to reach higher ground, some order and sanity, or something to comfort me. Soon the water will come and claim what is mine. I must leave it behind, and climb to a new place now. Thought I was high, and free. I thought I was there divine destiny. The water is rising up on me. Thought the sun would come deliver me, but the truth has come to punish me instead. The ground is breaking down right under me.
Cleanse and purge me in the water. Log in. Lyrics Artists add. Sober version Tool 8 Comments 0 Tags. There's a shadow just behind me Shrouding every step I take Making every promise empty Pointing every finger at me Waiting like a stalking butler Who upon the finger rests Murdered now the past it cost me Just because the son has come Jesus, won't you fucking whistle Something but the past and done?
Jesus, won't you fucking whistle Something but the past and done? Why can't we not be sober? Just want to start this over And why can't we drink forever? I just want to start this over I am just a worthless liar I am just an imbecile I will only complicate you Trust in me and fall as well I will find a center in you I will chew it up and leave I will work to elevate you Just enough to bring you down Mother Mary, won't you whisper?
Something but what's past and done Mother Mary, won't you whisper? Something but the past and done Why can't we not be sober? I just want to start this over And why can't we sleep forever? I just want to start this over Why? I am just a worthless liar I am just an imbecile I will only complicate you Trust in me and fall as well I will find a center in you I will chew it up and leave Trust me Trust me Trust me Trust me Trust me Why can't we not be sober?
I just want to start things over And why can't we sleep forever?
