Lyrics:
It took so long to remember just what happened
I was so young and vestal then
You know it hurt me
But I'm breathing so I guess I'm still alive
Even if signs seem to tell me otherwise
I've got my hands bound
My head down, my eyes closed
And my throat's wide open
Do unto others what has been done to me
Do unto others what has been done to you
I'm treading water
I need to sleep a while
My lamb and martyr, you look so precious
Won't you, won't you come a bit closer
Close enough so I can smell you
I need you to feel this
I can't stand to burn too long
Release in sodomy
For one sweet moment I am whole
Do unto you now
What has been done to me
Do unto you now
What has been done
You're breathing so I guess you're still alive
Even if signs seem to tell me otherwise
Won't you, won't you come on a bit closer
Close enough so I can smell you
I need you to feel this
I need this to make me whole
Release in sodomy
Have you witnessed
Blood and flesh can't be trusted?
Have you witnessed
Blood and flesh can't be trusted?
And only this one holy medium brings me peace of mind
Got your hands bound, your head down
And your eyes closed
You look so precious now
I have found some kind of temporary sanity in this
Shit, blood and cum on my hands
I've come 'round full circle
My lamb and martyr, this will be over soon
You look so precious
You look so precious
You look so precious
You look so precious
You look so precious now
You look so precious

I think we have to give Adam Jones props for committing to an entire stop animation to really have both the visual and musical aspects of Tool be what it is today

[@fusionspace175]

Agreed, it would have been much easier to do the person shaped character in a suit, but it would have lacked the right feeling of being part of that world. Phil Tippett did his best when he had to compromise with Mad God and finish parts with live action, but it 's a stark contrast that really lets the movie down.

[@joaquinandrade7406]

and props for him to make some of the sickest riffs in rock music, in fact Tool songs songs are composed over Adam riffs and sometimes I think people dont realize how good he is

Before a live performance of "Prison Sex" on November 29, 1996 in Montreal, Quebec, Keenan stated: "This song is about recognizing, identifying, the cycle of abuse within yourself. That's the first step of the process: realization; identifying. The next step is to work through it. But, this song is about the first step in the process, which is recognizing." VEVO are censoring the experiences of survivors of abuse.

They're just so astoundingly good. It's remarkable that no band has been able to come together, and make music that is comparable in style, sound, or quality to Tool. They've been compared to Pink Floyd, whom I love. But after 13 years, it's becoming clear: we may never again have such amazing music created by a bass guitarist, electric guitarist, drummer, and vocalist like we do today. We are all lucky as fuck!

Tyler Hartmann it is about religion and abuse, abuse in the church, and abuse that is indoctrination and In its outer layer It can perfectly be interpreted as about abuse, and “my lamb and martyr” is what the abuser calls the abused, for the abused is being sacrificed for the abuser’s pleasure and need to do what has been done to them in their past

I experienced Tool when I was very young and I remember being petrified of this song but especially the music video. Now an adult, with the experience of being a CSA victim, it still gives me that same exact feeling, just not as helplessly, watching this and hearing those lyrics. My trauma was pushed into my subconscious supposedly, is what psychiatrists have told me as I don't remember any of it and only bits and pieces of my years around the time it happened. But I completely understand the reason as to why I never wanted to see or hear this song as a child. The art of it was able to convey the message so clearly it horrified younger me because I understood it, even though I didn't understand why I did.

I never knew that was what this song was about until i started reading the comments & much like Jonathan Davis from Korn the bravery it must take for a man to put this out there for the world to see is incomprehensible to me. The strength it shows and ability to be men of real integrity and honesty is a blessing to all of their fans.

I’m 53 now and this song has allowed me to release built up anger in a positive way. Just by letting the music and lyrics tell my story. This song can apply to anyone who suffered hell as a child. Who earned the blank thousand yard stare from a type of personal war they experienced. Thank you Maynard .

I still can't think her enough to this day, for buying 'Undertow' for me. I wore that CD and 1992's Alice in Chains 'Dirt' album almost to shreds. Was learning guitar about 2 years prior and now I'm an advanced player, playing all types of different styles. Legato, Sweep picking, Minor and Natural harmonic minor scales, seriously advanced licks, and shred. But I learned every single Tool song on 'Undertow' and then in 1996 all the songs on 'Aenima'. And all the AIC songs off 'Dirt' and the 'Tripod' (or 3 legged dog) album. Those were the days of excellent music!

I found TOOL March of 2021 and this song is so powerful. I'm now 17, at a new school, and doing better than ever. I am a published author for PFLAG, and working on a series of books based on my experiences at that school and beyond. Being a survivor isn't easy but this song helps me get through the blackest of days. To all the other survivors out there, keep your head up, do whatever it takes to do that. You have my full support and love

Most times can't help but cry when he sings the part "I was so young and vestal then... You know it hurt me. But I'm breathing so I guess I'm still alive even if signs seem to tell me otherwise." Seeing as how I can relate. You know what I realized about massive trauma..at least for me..it doesn't seem to instantly take place...it's like you don't even know it...then gradually, more and more grows and festers(It took so long to remember just what happened) until you're like some leftover parts they sweep up off the floor after making hotdogs and packaging them ..which is actually interesting because most ppl hate them and you just as much and puke just going near that mess. You leave a nasty taste in ppls noses even if no one got to taste it. It's almost beautiful. Sorry, couldn't think of a better metaphor atm..maybe you can come up with one. I dare you to try!!

Stay strong 💪💪💪 this video and music, as vulgar and badass as it is, is a reminder that YOU are not alone! No matter what's done to anyone in the world, I believe the worst thing anyone could possibly experience is isolation. In fact, when you become abused, doesn't the dissonance and distance from the world hurt more than what was done, specifically? The feeling that nobody could understand, and nobody could care.

Close enough so I can smell you I need you to feel this I can't stand to burn too long Release in sodomy For one sweet moment I am whole [Refrain] Do unto you now what has been done to me Do unto you now what has been done [Verse 3] You're breathing so I guess you're still alive Even if signs seem to tell me otherwise Won't you, won't you come on a bit closer? Close enough so I can smell you I need you to feel this I need this to make me whole Release in sodomy Have you witnessed that blood and flesh can't be trusted? Have you witnessed that blood and flesh can't be trusted? And only this one holy medium brings me peace of mind [Verse 4] Got your hands bound And your head down And your eyes closed You look so precious now [Bridge] I have found some kind of temporary sanity in this Shit, blood, and cum on my hands I've come 'round full circle [Outro] My lamb and martyr, this will be over soon You look so precious, you look so precious You look so precious, you look so precious You look so precious now You look so precious.
