Lyrics:
Something has to change
Undeniable dilemma
Boredom's not a burden anyone should bear
Constant overstimulation numbs me
But I would not want you any other way
Just not enough, I need more
Nothing seems to satisfy
I said, I don't want it, I just need it
To breathe, to feel, to know I'm alive
Finger deep within the borderline
Show me that you love me and that we belong together
Relax, turn around and take my hand
I can help you change
Tired moments into pleasure
Say the word and we'll be
Well upon our way, blend and balance
Pain and comfort, deep within you
Till you will not want me any other way
But it's not enough, I need more
Nothing seems to satisfy
I said, I don't want it, I just need it
To breathe, to feel, to know I'm alive
Knuckle deep inside the borderline
This may hurt a little but it's something you'll get used to
Relax, slip away
Something kinda sad about
The way that things have come to be
Desensitized to everything
What became of subtlety?
How can this mean anything to me
If I really don't feel anything at all? Yeah
I'll keep digging
Till I feel something
Elbow deep inside the borderline
Show me that you love me and that we belong together
Shoulder deep within the borderline
Relax, turn around and take my hand

The year is 1996. It’s 3am and a teenaged Robert can’t sleep. I have school the next day, but Headbanger’s Ball is playing on MTV. I had never heard anything like this. Grunge got me into music, but this… this was Beyond music. Where other bands had touched my soul, Tool accessed a part of my brain that I didn’t even know existed. I could feel that this was something special. Tool quickly became my favorite band. They will forever hold a special place in my heart.

[@BruceNJeffAreMyFlies]

@@tyshred9251 If you really dive into it you'll probably see (at least, this is what I saw) that it is a really clever play on words. The whole song is a double meaning. There's the obvious 'this will hurt a little' 'finger, elbow, shoulder deep' etc etc but if you perceive this song as being about becoming numb to society and just needing to feel something, like a connection with a person, it also works just as well. It feels like a 'du hast/du hasst' style song. I really believe it's supposed to be a double entendre of sorts.

[@crownedqueer2171]

He is saying “constant OVERSTimulation”Constant overstimulation can happen to anyone. Especially if (you have mental health disorders) this one particularly is about Borderline Personality Disorder. I have the same thing. It can be overwhelming to encounter anything that is producing too much sound (especially), too much taste, too much texture to the skin or tongue, or too pungent of an odor. Maybe messiness or disorganization to the eyes? I don’t experience that one so I can’t say. As for not being satisfied with anything pleasurable: like sex, happiness, indulging in anger, substance abuse, people or relationships period, etc... that further concretes and affirms that he is indeed referring to Borderline Personality Disorder. Also he does mention being “finger” “knuckle” “ elbow” deep inside the “borderline”❤️ have a wonderful day

The analogy is so perfect here. That human's addiction cycle tends to scramble as far down the rabbit hole as physically possible, or in this case, your arm entirely up your own ass due to desensitization. Most will do anything to get their fix, ignoring all consequences til they reach a point of not caring about anything anymore. Its a passive form of suicide. Hollowed out the insides that make us human by technology and consumerism. Just continues to get more and more true as time goes on.

Adam Jones is not only a great guitarist who brings a lot to TOOL sonically, but he also knows what the hell he’s doing when he makes these videos. The bleak color scheme and dust like makeup on the figures creates an almost claustrophobic feel; very affecting. My favourite shot is when the larger figure looks through the rectangular hole in the wall and sees the skinnier figure reaching out while the lights manically flash. Something straight out of a horror movie. Phenomenal job, Adam Jones. These videos are not only entertaining and fit their respective songs very well, but are also masterclasses in filmmaking.

There's still great music around today, dude. In fact, I'd say music is better than ever before, but you've got to look for it. DO NOT expect any, or at least, the vast majority of radio stations to play music that is worth your time. There are plenty of great music review sites online where you can find exceptional music. Heavy Blog Is Heavy, for one, is pretty consistent.

I like how almost everyone has a line from this song that hits hard, have multiple but one of my favorite is f“This may hurt a little but it’s something you’ll get used to”, for me helps inspire change because it hurts but it gets easier over time.

How can it mean anything to me If I really don't feel anything at all?
