The song is really about 2 guys that are trying to put together furniture from Ikea
-
As a Tool fan, I’d advise you not to watch the videos on the first listen. It distracts you from the music, which drives the listener's emotions.
-
..."cold silence has a tendency to atrophy any sense of compassion between supposed lovers"... ...perfection...
-
Lateralus is a timeless masterpiece. Hundreds of years from now people will still listen to this album in awe.
-
If you're going down the Tool rabbit hole, I would like to suggest 46 & 2. The song is full of Jungian terminology, and is about personal growth. It's a song that has helped me profoundly over the years.
-
I cant tell you how much listening to Tool has bettered me as a person, in any relationship.
-
One of my favourite parts is the way that the song's arrangement reinforces the lyrics' message. The song starts in 5/4, then spends most of the remainder alternating between 5/8, 6/8 and 7/8, which are all "uneven"-sounding time signatures, reinforcing the messages of disconnection and disjointedness in the lyrics. And then, right at the end, it shifts back to the much more stable-sounding 8/8...while Maynard repeats "I know the pieces fit". Genius.
-
You can literally see the moment she went from being uncomfortable, to understanding. Beautiful.
-
To make a therapist give credit and try to understand Maynard's poetic lyricism shows how great is Tool. Makes my heart tickle,
-
As a huge Tool fan, it brings me great happiness to watch a new Tool fan being born 🤗

It's not just about "a" relationship, it's humanity as a whole. We've separated from ourselves and thus each other. Humanity as forgotten we're all just here trying...and failing...and not stopping to talk and hear each other and pick the other up, whomever that other is. Passion has become violence in it's action...in the name of...fill in the blank. We don't share it freely, we preach it, and that's very different.

I've been a Tool fan since the late 90's, but as a 39 year old married woman, you just gave this awesome song so much more context. My husband and I are til death do we part soulmates but of course difficulties arise throughout the marriage. No infidelity, drug use is in our past, but just trying to make our family and small business work has brought new stressors into our life. Thank you for giving me a new perspective on a song I always loved for as long as I've loved my husband.
-
"The Grudge" or "Right in Two" would make great reactions, both containing universal truths about the human condition.
-
Tool is a band that I feel genuinely has healed parts of myself that I didn't even know where injured.
-
Tool is therapy
-
I love how each verse ends with the word "communication"
-
As an OG Tool fan from 93, I love watching reaction videos of people experiencing Tool for the first time. Living vicariously through them as they become, true Tool fans!! I love that you are sharing with us, your journey as you descend deeper into their discography. Nobody, in my own opinion, has broke the lyrics down, the way you do. Tool can be tricky with their lyrics, some people may think it means one thing, but yet can't seem to nail it, quite like you do. Keep the Tool reactions coming!!
-
She actually dissected the songs message so well, all of that on the first listen, great job!
-
I started this video rolling my eyes and finished it completely shifted. Thank you for this. Your take on all of this is so great. I feel in love with Tool as a kid and only saw/identified with the pain in the music then. Now, I see that it's a doorway to step through in the healing process. Wow. It only took like 30 years to figure out!

The Grudge by Tool, would be awesome if you analyzed it. That song literally broke me down to tears as I realized what I had been holding onto for years has been pulling me down into the depths of despair. Plus he lets out a scream for like 40 seconds.
