FIRST TIME HEARING TOOL "THE POT" REACTION | Asia and BJ

[@chairmanofthebored6860]

This song is actually about a friend of the band that was arrested on relatively minor weed charges and the judge threw the book at him. The same judge was later caught with drugs and a prostitute. The pot calling the kettle black indeed. Lot of great wordplay in this song.

[@CANDOKNOWHOW]

Cool to know this story, man.. thanks for sharing it. There’s a lot of times I miss info like this, and it’s great to have something that helps put it into a perspective. So many lives ruined over heavy sentences for victimless crimes that are wholly insignificant to society as a whole. Things need to change in this respect.

[@shawnk7832]

Nice information, and so sad.

[@ADITADDICTS]

True shit.

[@alida5483]

[@ubiquinoxxrosiles2766]

Where did you hear this from? I doubt it came from anyone in the band

[@dat1d00dx17]

Maynard weaves a lot of colloquialisms associated with hypocrisy: The Pot Calling the Kettle Black Standing on a Soapbox Those who lives in glass houses should not throw stones Weeping in shades of cozened indigo basically means crying crocodile tears A Kangaroo court is one in which the verdict was decided before the trial began Who are you to wave your finger? (Because you're not any better) In a general sense the song can refer to the hypocrisy of judgemental people. In a more specific sense it can refer to the hypocrisy of the Judicial/Political systems.

Tool is one of those bands, musicians, that make music on a whole other level. The lyrics are deep. The music is deep. The meaning/s are deep. They're dimensional and cerebral and spiritual.

[@Prone2Thrill]

So does Pot in this song - Kettle pot and ganja pot. Great mind music and yet soul music

[@stevereynolds128]

One of many great things about Tool is 99% of the messages in their lyrics are about personal growth. A lot of the vague metaphors can be applied to many different aspects of life up for interpretation. But ultimately it's about looking within yourself to grow and be better. You are responsible for your own struggles and it's up to you to recognize them, breakthrough, and come out better on the other side. Most of their songs start in dark places, moving towards the light which makes almost every song of theirs both uplifting and empowering.

[@garrettlink9090]

That's true art. No idea were it's gonna go, just an exploration of the artistic side of your brain

[@alittleaccurate3080]

“Eyehole deep in muddy waters” is a reference to Dante’s Inferno, one of the the rings of hell specifically for hypocrites and liars.

[@plexus]

That’s not true at all... the closest thing to what you’re kinda getting at is in Circle 8, in Bolgia 2, sinners are immersed forever in a river of excrement... but those sinners are those who are guilty of “excessive flattery”. I don’t know where you heard this or if you came up with it yourself, but I don’t think that’s right at all.

[@drutang]

muddy water has been a reference to heroin for a long time. so maybe its your up to your eyes in your own addiction, how can you talk shit... type shit. drugs are drugs.

[@QuickeMart]

Another theory is that Maynard is calling out Led Zeppelin who have always come down like a tonne of bricks on anyone they thought had 'stolen their ideas'. Where they themselves had directly ripped off Muddy Waters, one of the greatest blues musicians of all time, in "whole Lotta love". This is a VERY brief and probably not 100% correct comment because I'm genuinely high as all fuck right now.

[@blackienz173]

You can't see clearly in muddy waters, always gonna be murky.......

[@nick7597]

The line “weeping shades of cozened indigo, got lemon juice in you eye” Simply, “crocodile tears” Also, weeping shades-to throw shade means to publicly criticize, cozen-to trick or be deceitful, indigo-blue, sad, and lemon juice would make your eyes water. Some people have deeper interpretations but that’s my take

[@scottroberts2890]

All this is true, but he always uses double meanings. Like I think those are also simply strains of marijuana.

BJ grooving to that base line and Asia deep in thought dissecting those lyrics. It's about hypocrisy in general but especially about drug laws. The pot calling the kettle black. Those in glass house should not throw stones.

[@LanceThompsonKssooner]

It isn't about weed. It's just an expression for someone doing something that doesn't make sense. "You must have been high!" It was written about hypocrisy especially in the government and Judicial system following a lawsuit with a previous record label.

Little late to the party here, great reaction and I love her enthusiasm on understanding the lyrics! Keeping it short and only giving some context, his mom was in a wheelchair around 10,000 days. Title of the album, and the album basically reflects their relationship. This song is about her church and her faith. They basically used her as a martyr after Judith passes away. But they weren't there for her during her life, they didn't care like they said they did. "Eye hole deep in muddy water, you practically raised the dead" is saying after she passed they used her as a religious idol in a way, they practically raised the dead with 'their faith', when in reality they were eye hole deep in muddy water because they were so full of shit Also, the lyrics "now you're weeping shades of cozened indigo, got lemon juice up in your eye" cozened, meaning trickery, indigo, blue as in mood, lemon juice in the eye, forced. It's all just another way of using words to express your feelings

"Rob the grave to snow the cradle" sounds to me like teaching particular interpretations of history to schoolchildren to instill ideological narratives.

During the pandemic, teachers were complaining about virtual learning over Zoom because parents might overhear what they're doing in class. Very suspicious.

Vocals are a second to musicianship with Tool. With many bands, vocals are lead, with Tool, vocal it’s just another instrument in the collective.

[@mitchelloconnor3769]

I took it as a multilayered song.. the flaw of our judicial system and then also the demonation of cannabis. Maynard is actually not a fan of pot but this is about more then just his personal view of it. It's about passing judgment on others, acting like your house is in perfect order. Love that you guys are vibing and getting into the lyrics... most reaction only give you one or the other.

[@chadkhouchin]

I think this song talking about the judicial system with a lot of court/lawyers undertones. “Who are you to Judge” a judge waiving his finger” “liar lawyer, what’s the difference” Kangaroo is a reference to a “kangaroo court” which is a saying for half ass trials where judges/lawyers just jump from case to case. Pot calling the kettle black is like lawyers arguing in court when they go home and get “high” too.

[@this_is_mine2452]

You should react to "Invincible" if you want somthing of the new album "fear inoculum" album. Otherwise "wings for marie" part 1 and 2 are an absolute emotional masterpiece, they are on the album 10,000 days which refers to the time Maynard's mother spent in paralysis before she passed away, the song is an ode to her😇👌

I always can relate with your initial feeling/understanding of a TOOL song, as i believe, just as in our day to day lives; our interpretation of this HOLY reality changes from minute 2 minute/day 2 day, SO 2 does one's understanding and emotional connection to ANY & ALL TOOL(& any of MJK's other projects;A PERFECT CIRCLE and PUSCIFER) tracks. aS THIS WAS THE FIRST BAND THAT SEEMED TO UTILIZE THIS AMAZING SONIC LANDSCAPE OF EXPRESSION, TO LEGITIMATELY WORK THROUGH AND OUT OF PAIN AND SORROW TO INEVITABLY OBTAIN PEACE AND WISDOM, through the inherent processes derived from our internal dialogue and understanding regarding our 'shadow' and repressed selves!! who sorry for the long winded and Hunter S. Thompson style run-on sentences BUT your comments within the finally of this video inspired me to share as i felt as though ASIA is turning the corner and is beginning to see THE FULL TRACK or PICTURE in regards to this amazing PROBLEM ACKNOWLEDGING, PROBLEM SOLVING and then; WISDOM OBTAINING MUSIC!!!
