Lyrics:
There's a shadow just behind me
Shrouding every step I take
Making every promise empty
Pointing every finger at me
Waiting like a stalking butler
Who upon the finger rests
Murder now the path of must we
Just because the son has come
Jesus, won't you fucking whistle
Something but the past and done?
Jesus, won't you fucking whistle
Something but the past and done?
Why can't we not be sober?
Just want to start this over
And why can't we drink forever?
I just want to start this over
I am just a worthless liar
I am just an imbecile
I will only complicate you
Trust in me and fall as well
I will find a center in you
I will chew it up and leave
I will work to elevate you
Just enough to bring you down
Mother Mary, won't you whisper?
Something but what's past and done
Mother Mary, won't you whisper?
Something but the past and done
Why can't we not be sober?
I just want to start this over
And why can't we sleep forever?
I just want to start this over
Why?
I am just a worthless liar
I am just an imbecile
I will only complicate you
Trust in me and fall as well
I will find a center in you
I will chew it up and leave
Trust me
Trust me
Trust me
Trust me
Trust me
Why can't we not be sober?
I just want to start things over
And why can't we sleep forever?
I just want to start this over
Why?
I want what I want
I want what I want
I want what I want
I want what I want

I think of this song when I think of addiction. There's a desperation to the melody and lyrics that capture the emotion perfectly. "Mother Mary, won't you whisper?"

It's a very powerful and meaningful song without being bloated and contrived, unlike some of Tool's later songs.

This song hits different when you deal with depression, and not drug addiction. I’ve had days where I wish I’d sleep forever ( like the song says) and that no one would care if I died. A few times I thought about hanging myself or slitting my throat or overdosing on pills. But I’ve stayed firm in staying alive, I know that if I don’t feel understood that I should make an effort to be understood and liked. I can’t be quiet and expect people to listen to me. I need to be vocal. That’s why I have been more talkative an open. Having autism does things to you, like having people not get you and make fun of you. Which is why I am depressed and could relapse into suicide.

I was sent to a psychiatric care unit when I was 16 for making an attempt on my life. When I got out my Dad showed me a ton of the music he loved while we sat around and talked late at night (His way of showing support). I can clearly remember this song and while I didn't and don't have a drug problem, the song still resonated with me because of what had happened at the time. My dad wasn't always a great parent, but sometimes he came through for me

Listening to this as a kid, I never woulda thought this song would reflect me. Shit.

I'm a newbie. This song fucks me up. It must be the minor chord and the powerful vocals but it takes me somewhere I've not felt in a long time.

[@kroh7742]

I can understand the feeling... I've recently got into tool and there's something magical and psychedelic about their songs... It is truly an experience...

For the longest time I have been singing the lyrics as "Jesus, won't you fucking whistle, Nothing but a bastard son" and "Mother Mary, won't you whisper, something that the bastard done" . I had no idea the lyrics were not those words... Probably going to keep singing that verses as I have been because it still works.

ngl, I was introduced to this song by Beavis and Butt-Head. Extremely grateful for that.

I was introduced to a lot of good music from Beavis and Butt-Head re-runs. A look back to a simpler time when MTV actually had decent programming and played music, good music at that. No shame in that at all.

A message to future generations, Keep this song alive!

[@samevans1289]

The emotion in the way the chorus is sung is so amazingly fitting! There's this explosion in a few words and then a gradual transition towards exhaustion in the rest, like all the rage and desperation the person is feeling, and all the energy he has left in him is concentrated in those couple cries, and then when he continues with the rest of the sentence, he's totally drained of everything. Or I guess you could also see it as if the toned-down parts of the sentences is the regular tone and volume, and the parts where he roars are the unexpected moments when he still has some fight, genuine emotions and hope in him.

[@retrogamerdad9621]

Both work, and more. This song seems simple on the surface, but there's depth and nuance. Perhaps one must experience certain things in life to discover it...
