Maynard's tribute to his recently departed mother, who spent nearly 10,000 days of her life paralyzed in a wheelchair after a stroke.

Seriously, one the most beautiful songs ever made. When Maynard says "you're going home" I always get chills. This song is a pure masterpiece. I love Vicarious and Stinkfistbut this is a personal favorite.

Beat stiff competion in Third Eye (2nd place) and 10,000 Days (3rd place) to win the TOOL Madness competition. A worthy winner, in my opinion. Is it me or do TOOL have three songs there that are a cut above any created by this species?

The outro is awesome but I think the best part is where the lyrics go "I embrace my desire to feel the rhythm, to feel connected enough to step aside and weep like a widow, to feel inspired", etc. The drumming for that part is just... insane.

Anyone who thinks Tool are pro-drugs really ought to check this song out. If this song is pro-drugs then I'm Ace Ventura. You can get high without drugs, how many times do they need to say it? Saying that people should have the right to take drugs if that's what they want to do is not the same as being pro-drugs.

What is it you disagree with? I'm not sure what you mean. The lyrics are satirical in that they ridicule an aspect of the human condition, they seem to suggest that we are all addicted to watching things die, but can't admit it - which you seem to understand, which is why I'm confused. :)

You gotta love that drum that goes booooooing. Check out the D/R/T sync-up with the Jupiter and beyond bit of 2001. If you catch it just right it works really well but you can't tell if you've got it right straight away which is kind of frustrating. I don't think it was intentional but it's still cool.

Exactly. The entire song is great. For me, it was one of those songs that I didn't really give much of a chance at first (because of the intro, probably), but now I think it's the best song on Undertow by a million miles and the intro rules!

That's something I hadn't thought of before, to be honest... food for thought, certainly. I still think what Maynard's getting at seems pretty obvious but I will admit that my opinion on it probably says more about me than anything else. Also, a note to the last-but-one guy: not everything TOOL says is lies (though most of it clearly is), so it could be true that Maynard sais that in an interview. I've never heard such an interview but there's a chance that it did happen.
Added 12 years ago by Scrimms, 1 point Vote + to improve this comment's ranking Vote - to decrease this comment's ranking
Some good ideas here. I am leaning more towards the sexual abuse theory but the nods to christianity are interesting. It could be that the victim sees the abuser as a sort of godlike figure and thus becomes the abuser in order to attain a godlike power over others.
Added 13 years ago by guest, 2 points Vote + to improve this comment's ranking Vote - to decrease this comment's ranking
Maynard says a lot of things... It's called disinformation. Tool do that kind of thing a lot. If you automatically believe what they say then you're not really thinking for yourself. They want people to think about it and figure it out for themselves. I gotta agree that it's about religion. The sexual abuse is a metaphor, it's a similar thing to the song Opiate. The song is saying that forcing religion on children is a form of abuse. It's all subjective anyway, so you can take what you want from it.

It's not that direct! There's room for other interpretations, only one man can say for sure what the real meaning is, and that man isn't you! I agree with you that the song is probably about that, however.

"It seems to be about man's relationship with god" - More specifically the song is about religious indoctrination. Obviously. It's pretty direct, guys.

No it's obviously original gangster tool otherwise there would be no need to abbreviate it and in context it fits best. Everyone knows what OG stands for, so it's not hard to figure out what OGT could stand for.

Ticks & Leeches Report Abuse
The power of this song alone should make it top ten, Danny's drumming is insane and it is pretty much the only song where maynards belts out that very impressive scream, its so good they dont even do it live lol

I think they played it live before with some sort of vocal effect so Maynard didn't have to strain his voice as much. I never heard them play it live though.

Yeah, Maynard won't sing this song because it messed his voice up good and proper when he sang it before. Maybe they could work out a more chilled out version of this song, it would be good to hear it live.

Powerful lyrics... Check! Driving rhythms... Check! Melodies that feel like they resemble sinking waters encased by soft moss and hard bark... Check Ranked with any justice?.... I THINK NOT! Surely "Swamp Song" deserves a top 20 rank?

Easily one of the most hate-filled Tool songs. But it's a great song to listen to.

I guess you could say it really depends on how "positive" or negative" your mood is at that moment...

Sure, it's beautiful, but it only really makes sense as an intro to Rosetta Stoned. It's not that great in itself, in my opinion.
