Lyrics:
Wear the grudge like a crown of negativity
Calculate what we will or will not tolerate
Desperate to control all and everything
Unable to forgive your scarlet lettermen
Clutch it like a cornerstone, otherwise it all comes down
Justify denials and grip 'em to the lonesome end
Clutch it like a cornerstone, otherwise it all comes down
Terrified of being wrong, ultimatum prison cell
Saturn ascends
Choose one or ten
Hang on or be humbled again
Humbled again
Clutch it like a cornerstone, otherwise it all comes down
Justify denials and grip 'em to the lonesome end
Saturn ascends, comes round again
Saturn ascends, the one, the ten
Ignorant to the damage done
Wear the grudge like a crown of negativity
Calculate what we will or will not tolerate
Desperate to control all and everything
Unable to forgive these scarlet lettermen
Wear the grudge like a crown
Desperate to control
Unable to forgive and sinking deeper
Defining
Confining
And sinking deeper
Controlling
Defining
And we're sinking deeper
Saturn comes back around to show you everything
Let's you choose what you will and will not see and then
Drags you down like a stone or lifts you up again
Spits you out like a child, light and innocent
Saturn comes back around
Lifts you up like a child
or drags you down like a stone
To consume you till you choose to let this go
Choose to let this go
Give away the stone
Let the oceans take and trans mutate this cold and fated anchor
Give away the stone
Let the waters kiss and trans mutate these leaden grudges into gold
Let go

That's probably why it just popped up for you(trending now). If I were you, I'd start listening to their oldest stuff first. Seriously, it's so good. I credit this band(along with a couple of others) for keeping me from ending my life in my teen years. Things were super rough. Family wasn't there for me; only music. TOOL's music is therapeutic for a lot of people. Now you have the advantage of being able to look up their lyrics & music videos easily. :) In the 90s & early 2000s, we didn't have that option as much. It was very hard to find this stuff, which made it more adventurous, but still. ;) I'd say check out their music videos first... You can listen to their albums from start to finish; it's an experience. If you smoke weed, that also adds some fun, lol. Happy trails, Miquel! :D

This track is about a battle with Saturn ascending and teaching us lessons over and over again until we get it right. "Saturn ascends, choose one or ten. Hang on or be humbled again" means get it right or Saturn will come around again teaching the same lesson until you do it. "The one the ten" could be the Aries and Capricorn houses in the zodiac (Capricorn is ruled by Saturn). A lot of what Tool Frontman 'Maynard James Keenan' is saying in the lyrics relates to characteristics of a Capricorn. They are known to hold grudges and be control freaks. Maynard is an Aries, the true pioneer of the zodiac. It could be a message for all the caps and people out there who hold grudges. The line, "Unable To Forgive Your Scarlet Lettermen" presumably refers to the classic novel The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne. One of the main characters in the book is a female adulteress who is forced to wear a scarlet letter 'A' on her breast as punishment.

[@williamschettler]

Interesting take on this song there is no question that all of there songs have hidden meanings.I would like to hear your opinion on there song anema?

[@frankgio779]

​@william schettler the word "ÆNIMA" is a blend of the word "anima", which is a proposed superficial "woman-like" spirit that exists in every man, and enima, a device that flushes out the rectal cavity with saline. this name literally means the "flushing out" of superficialness. The song is based off of Bill Hicks famous comedy but where he talks about California breaking off if America and floating away. Maynard used this to rant about all the superficial garbage that Is Los Angeles.

[@williamschettler]

@@frankgio779 Thanks for the reply Dank, I lived in California for several years, and for me this song meant flushing out the rectal cavity, because California desperately needs a new start.

[@TheElectricBuddha]

"For the lyrics on Laterlus, I wanted to address the same kind of stuff as Ænima. I wanted to explore that sense of release, kind of combining archetypes with where we were in our lives at that point. On the previous album, we had gone through that whole transformation, what some refer to as the "Saturn return" - your 28th or 29th year, when you're given the opportunity to transform from whatever your hangups were before and to let the light of knowledge and experience lighten your load, so to speak, and let go of old patterns and embrace a new life. It's kind of the story of Jonah and the belly of the whale. You kind of sink or swim at that point. And a lot of people don't make it. Hendrix, Janis Joplin, and Kurt Cobain didn't quite make it past their Saturn return. For me, starting to recognize those patterns, it was very important to start constructing songs that chronicled that process, hoping that my gift back would be to share that path and hope that I could help somebody get past that spot. And the first step in that is just being aware of it." (MJK)

I remember where I was when I first heard this. I was at university, in the midst of studying for a degree that I did not like anymore, upset with the world after having recently lost my father, and going nowhere. This song was recommended in my feed and I had listened only to a few songs off 10,000 Days at the time. I listened to this song for what felt like hours, coming to the realisation that I am not happy here, only doing this degree because it was something that my father didn't disprove of. I was angry at him and in turn angry at myself. I decided from that day forward I was going to make sure that I was going to do what made me happy and glad to simply be. I wasn't going to live my life accomplishing other people's goals except for my own. This song and Tool have changed me, for the better. Cannot thank this group enough for that, they helped me forgive my father.

But Alas, Here I am today, right now, enjoying this music and working from home on the architectural plans for a 50,000 s.f. Custom home along PCH1 in Pacific Palisades, Ca. I could have held a grudge and it would have held me back. I could choose to keep thinking about all that I lost or even never had but where is the Effen challenge with that. There are many things that you dont' get to choose but how you decide to deal with any situation is YOUR choice. When the dust settles anyone who is not on your side never was and that's fine by me. When the world tries to kick you in the ass, turn around take it with a smile then perry and punch that mother fucker right in the nose. Then you can laugh and say now that's done can we move on I got some shit to do. Que Next Tool Song.

Lifts you up like a child or Drags you down like a stone To consume you till you choose to let this go Choose to let this go Give away the stone Let the oceans take and trans mutate this cold and fated anchor Give away the stone Let the waters kiss and trans mutate these leaden grudges into gold Let go
