Give it up. A part of me. He cant get rid of it,but he can kill it a little and put it to the back of his mind. Thats about it,i hope you buttnuggets find it interesting H. Definitely agree that it is about his conscience. General Comment Okay, this is one hell of a long-shot but this is what I've got from it. Forewarning, I'm a bit of a nerd. This strikes me as a letter to his unconscious mind from his conscious mind.
Or if you prefer, to his id from his ego. But he also knows consciously that they are a part of him, and as a result his. In that sense, this song is simply a threat to himself that he's moving inward and making progress in converting subconscious id to conscious ego.
You can't speak. The unconscious can't be eliminated or even really excavated, but it controls via fear and other emotions and in knowing that it can't really hurt you, it can't really control you. It's time to die a little, give it up. All prior lines containing "you are a part of me" or similar notions are sung with the tone of someone non-chalantly writing the fact off, trying desperately to dismiss the fact, or angrily trying to suppress the fact.
They are sung to the tune of a 'defense mechanism. It's acknowledgement, and acceptance. Finality through sacrifice of ego. General Comment Bushwacked, i totally agree i dont think this is totally about masturbation or his penis but uses that idea as a metaphor for a deeper meaning. H, i pretty much agree with you although i had a different interpretaion that maybe it isnt about conscience but in fact the song is from the perspective of the brain or mind which is more poweful than the body sayin "You don't speak.
No Replies Log in to reply. So, even if Maynard did write it about his penis, it still seems to me like he's referring to his friends We're a part of him because Tool wouldn't be anything if it didn't have fans.
I'm sure it's got holes in it though; there's no reason to point them out to me. H's explanation was pretty valid too. General Comment Like i said im hearing joke.
Keep listening Lateralus youve found a good book to read, eventually you will get to that page. General Comment if im going by what "blind opious" said whouldent it be funny if he sang that while he was jerking it off i mean the would be kinda funny General Comment Looking simply at the lyrics and not listening to the song i could see how you would think this is about Maynard's penis or about masturbation.
But he sing the song with such anger sometimes and passion i really dont think its about either of them. I think Maynard is just messing with others ; Atkin44 on March 28, Link. I think its about defeating fear. Something which is a part of you, but not you. It changes you and you have to know it and let it go, let it die. Also to whoever mentioned it there are some Tool songs specifically about drugs either obviously or not. I believe Sober is after reading an interview , but dont take my word for it, google your dick off.
They wont just hang their meaning out there for all to see. XD tyekanik on January 27, General Comment I personally think its something to do with having to know your enemy, the enemy being evil and having to become it in order to defeat it. If you do something evil you learn how it works and how to defend yourself from it in the future. SpoldenDonder on December 14, Link.
General Comment I fucking admire this song its a song for Schizoids about using others for your own gain to move up and still you call them property and abuse them cause you feel as there below you Agraith on November 30, Link.
