Preston. Thank you for this. And, once again, you’re on the correct path of thought. You referenced the many different interpretations of this song; and that, in itself, acknowledges the essence of Tool. The lyrics certainly come from a personal space for Maynard, but they’re written in a way that can be interpreted differently by different people and applied to their unique circumstances. This song helped save my marriage. I always liked this song. But, as my marriage approached a crash landing, The Grudge helped me through the darkest time of my life. At that point, I truly understood the song, for me, on an emotional level. Every. Fucking. Detail. To me, this song represents our desire to hold onto grudges as a feeling of power over those who have hurt us and the need to release that anger and let go in order to heal our wounds and repair those relationships. Even the otherworldly scream bear the end- I’ve learned to appreciate understand and feel every last second of it. It wasn’t some self-indulgent display of an amazing vocalist. That was the honest primal desire and attempt to exorcise the pain of transgression and the resulting anger- to rid oneself of their grudge- so that they may heal and become whole again. So that the subject can move on and repair the damaged relationship. He wants nothing more in life and that urge can be felt through every last second of that scream. I cannot count the number of tears I’ve shed at that point in that song. It still rocks me to my core. Thank you for your incredible reviews Preston. Keep on keepin’ on Brother.

Jon-Paul, thanks for explaining Tool perfectly, and with a very personal story to wrap it all up. Maynard never tells people the reasons behind his songs for the exact situation you were in. The meeting if Tools songs are never if rarely one dimensional. The image between the stone, cornerstone, the one or many grudges, the eroding of everything by the water transmutating it, being fluid in life, taking the lead and making something beautiful/rich out of it. It inspires me today to make sure my friendships and loves are built with meaningful stones that will withstand the sands of time.

Makes a lot of sense. I've been in group therapy sessions and heard people SCREAM and RAGE out their grudges, addictions, darkness, anger - even done it myself. Holding on to a grudge is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die. Every single bad emotion you feel happens in you, not in them, so you have to bear all the crap you want someone else, who knows nothing of your pain, to have. Letting go is freedom. Holding on is emotional self-imprisonment.

Im not too much into tool’s music released before aenima. Its not bad and that period is very important in the context of their history, showing their evolution. But its too dark and depressively destructive for me, though very talented already. But after Maynard overcame some psychological problems and stopped expressing mainly pain and opposition, and added spirituality - tool’s art started resonating with me way much more. So, as i said, the early period is an important part of the whole experience, but not that satisfying and harmonic to be influenced by.

Not in sound style or even type of rock music. They are so similar to me, because both bands have such an utterly unique sound. What I mean is, as soon as you hear a Tool or Floyd guitar/bass/drum riff, you KNOW that's them, long before the lead singer has ever uttered a word.

The whole format for Lateralus is based on the progression through the Tree of Life. The first node is Malkuth (Kingdom). The tenth node is Keter/Kether (Crown). So "Choose One or Ten... The One, The Ten" is the first and last, the alpha and omega, but it also implies that the Tree is inverted back on top of itself. That the Kingdom of Earth/Matter is not just a trap of drudgery, grime, pain, depression, and anxiety, but actually integral to the process of releasing attachments to those things, i.e. "Give away the stone" and "leaden grudges into gold". Saturn, in astrology, represents the intense manifestation of karmic debt "Drags you down like a stone, or lifts you up again". So all our misdeeds are judged and punished with impunity. In short, it's payback time. However, by working through them, doing the work, serving the time, or generally analyzing our own flaws, we are given the key to break out of the illusion of pain for our earthly toil, allowed a salvation, or a baptism "Let the waters kiss and transmutate". And if we grip to our egos, our pride, define our realities by our blind spots, "This cold and fated anchor", and refuse to let the illusion of reality dissolve around us, then the Cosmic forces will put you in your place, "Sinking Deeper" in our personal prisons. Eventually we must Let GO of the idea of control, the need to attempt to define or manipulate things which are ultimately outside of our basic understandings.

Also regarding Saturn, when Maynard references Saturn coming back around, I believe he’s referring to what is called the Saturn Return in astrology. Saturn takes 29.5 years to make a full revolution around the sun. When you are around 29.5 years old, give or take, Saturn will conjunction your natal Sun, which usually shakes things the fuck up in your life. Saturn is about responsibility, limitations, karma... he’s like a judgmental father, or the teacher with the most difficult assignments that you hated but you learned the most from. Basically, the return will show you where you’ve fucked up in life and where you’ve succeed and you will choose to either take accountability and continue to aim toward becoming your best Self, or you can hold a grudge or become resentful and turn your back on personal responsibility, which can only bring ruin. People usually notice a lot of changes around 30 years old....

It depends on my mood, but we came up with: if I got exiled/marooned/whatever and I could only have the music of one artist or band, who would it be? Who could I listen to, over and over? For years my answer was Pink Floyd, hands down. I think it was Lateralus (the album "The Grudge" came from) that changed "my favorite" to Tool.

Yep. You said... nobody even comes close to TooL.. they're "just different" - and I also like the Pink Floyd mention - something I think a lot of people would agree with. I first heard TooL in '96 on the radio - Stinkfist.. during the grunge era, and was immediately drawn in thinking "holy shit, what is this?!?!" - unlike anything I'd ever heard before. Once I began to dig into the lyrics and put the meaning to the depth of the music, it literally changed my life, and as I've told many people, became a road map to higher consciousness. And it is virtually impossible to rate their songs, as they're each an epic journey of their own (at least since Aenima). I just stumbled on you and I'm loving watching your reactions, because it's reminding me of why I love TooL so much, and the overwhelming feelings it induces. As for this song's meanings, it's probably already been said, but it revolves around the "Saturn Return" - a supposed astrological event that can be learned about by googling it. It's said to happen every 29 years (iirc) in our lifetime, and I can say that I personally had this experience myself. He's referencing the choice we have to hold onto our grudges, our old ways, the destructive ways of the mind and ego, and to sink deeper into this cycle.... or to LET GO, transmutate, and rise higher, the way of spirit and higher consciousness.

If you wanna know a band that comes close to tool is Maynard James Keenan’s other band A PERFECT CIRCLE. it’s like tools sister it a a feminine softer sound to it but his voice really shines in this band. a really good song is THE PACKAGE

Davin Dew A-motherfucking-men!!! I have described the two as exactly that. Tool is the more divine masculine and A Perfect Circle as the divine feminine. The Package is my favourite song, their live performance is the best version of the song as well.

Maynard and tool have been on a journey through the shadow....or, the spirit world, if you like that term better. They have learned the secrets to the fibinatchi sequence, 46 and 2, the eye of Saturn, ascension, the serpents of light and so much more. The music and lyrics are like a audio adaptation of their journey. Their music can be appreciated on every lvl, but the underlying message woven through all their music is very very spiritual and meant to be seen through the 3rd eye. This would take at least an hour of writing to explain the short version, and that would be cruel butchering of the thesis. Only adepts of the highest rank of the opened 3rd eye (white and red) would understand.

As a long time mucisian and lyricist myself, I tell you to go deeper, then go DEEPER, then go plus ultra DEEPER, then.....go deeper still. Dont stop till you push the envelope and watch it bend. Then you gotta spiral out till you become a perfect circle. Then once your tool becones a Pucifer, you push it till it becomes a Tool again. You can't do this completely sober, so do some H and try to make it through the shadow and come out 46+2. If you fail to understand....just stop listening to Tool altogether and switch to....IDK....justin beeber or whatever.....dam kids these days....

Watching your journey through Tool songs has been great, I have to say. You've had pretty much the same reactions to their songs as I have, and that's actually awesome - awe, contemplation, and perhaps the need to let it turn around in your head for a few hours. Little things about humanity, you know? :) And seriously, I'm so glad you got good earphones. Not just for your other videos, but also because Tool loves putting nuances and subtle touches in their music, and you can only really catch them with earphones. Others have already pointed out what kind of era of their music each album kind of symbolizes, so I won't repeat that. I will say that apart from maybe hearing Deftones' song Passenger, where Maynard sings backup, you're good to hear Third Eye now. It's a song you put on, kick back, close your eyes, and let the music paint tapestries in your imagination with. Three other song recommendations for you, to see if you dig the bands' music: - VAST: Here - Qwel: The New Wine - Filter: Jurassitol

In sixth grade a guy I knew asked me if I listened to Tool and I told him I hadn’t. He told me his brother gave him the Lateralus album to listen to and that it was his new favorite band. He let me borrow it and I went home, popped that bad boy into my Sony CD player. The sensation I had was indescribable. I listened to that album for hours on end over and over again. That’s when I realized this was going to be my favorite band and sixteen years later I still get chills listening to them.

I as we mostly are still learning of the world and ourselves. But the bleesing/curse of the understanding of my perception of my experience of my existence just seems to be a confirmation of the information i find and finds me. That tells me this is the time to utilize my knowledge acquired to put it to the test until its time to learn again. Ok enough ranting. Just thought I'd mention this.

Lioness, you are the only person IN THE WORLD that I heard gets the point of the song. The importance of that period is so profound especially when it comes to people who's had a rough childhood. I have a silly habit of saying "They missed their Saturn" when an acquaintance who's 35 or so is so hung up on who did them wrong along the way that it literally is keeping them from moving forward. As you probably know, the ancient name for Saturn is El. And the Saturnal cults refered to El as God. When I was 29 I had a son whom I named Elijah to mark the return of Saturn. Elijah meaning "My god is king." I think you're the second person I told this to. The first being my older brother who still blames me for "taking mommy away from me." He's dysfunctional as hell and has a trail of ruined relationships because he missed this very important step in maturation. Sorry for the rant, like I said you're the first I've known who gets the song so. I'm excited.
