100% using fisting as a metaphor for our constant need/desire for stimulation, and how it completely desensitizes you to everything!! 'Something kinda sad about The way things have come to be Desensitized to everything What became of Subtlety'

That is where some micro dosing and something like Wim Hof are really good to help reset and refresh the system. Problem is most people don't even realise what they have done to themselves or how it has impacted them.

"Something kinda sad about the way that things have come to be, Desensitized to everything, what became of subtlety?" I think the meaning of the song is encapsulated on those 2 lines. Desensitization due to over-stimulation. And this came out in 1996!👍

This song bring so many memories. First Tool song I liked. I was deep into Korn, Slipknot, Disturbed when I first heard that over 20 years ago. I didn't like it at first, but I felt like there is something more. I listened to it from time to time. Still didn't like it as much as my favorites, but I started to understand. After some time something just clicked and I was a goner at that point. Still am, to this very day.

Whenever you read or listen to Maynards lyrics, realize that he is quite frequently employing metaphors -- no matter how graphic they might be sometimes. These vulgarities really help drive home the point he is trying to convey.
@petecabrina19 күн бұрын
Almost feel like the music video is a distraction with this song. We grew up without the music video, just the cd blaring in the car while we were getting high and just the experience of the music by itself was quite something with the speakers echoing in the back.

Tool hated making videos but was in their contract so Adam Jones the guitarist, also a visual effects artist who worked on some big movies before Tool became successful. So Tool made them purposely distracting and nothing to do with the songs.
@vojkanjovanovic7940Ай бұрын
I don't think that videos has nothing to do with the songs, although I often can't find conection. Would be great if we could ask Adam. Videos for "Sober" and "Prison Sex" are more understandable.

Also some folks didn't grow up with MTV and music videos became boring and cookie cutter. Tool NEVER just does what is usual. It also helped make their music videos stand out from all the other 90s music videos on TV

Lyrically this song has so many double meanings. Maynard is a lyrical genius and told a story about society being over stimulated and desensitized to things we shouldnt but also had jokes about fisting. Relax, turn around and take my hand.... finger deep, knuckle deep, elbow deep, shoulder deep... My song suggestion is "Pushit"

No need to apologize for the jokes in the intro. That is kind of the point of the title and the lyrics. Using an extreme example of how we become desensitized to things in general and need to keep digging further into whatever that is to get enjoyment from it. Up next I'd suggest going with something from the Undertow album to hear the difference before Justin joined the band. Either Bottom or Swamp Song would be a good choice. Bottom features Henry Rollins in it.

There is nothing like the 90s 2nd decade of MTV late-night type rock musically. Tool, Primus, Faith No More, are kinda everything Trent Reznor pretends to be in all his pretentiousness. Def Tones, Korn, Manson, and even Clutch were solid contemporaries but just kinda pale IMO to those 3.
