Lyrics:
Who are you to wave your finger?
You must have been out your head
Eye hole deep in muddy waters
You practically raised the dead
Rob the grave to snow the cradle
Then burn the evidence down
Soapbox, house of cards, and glass
So don't go tossin' your stones around
You must have been high
You must have been high
You must have been
Foot in mouth, and head up ass
So what you talkin' 'bout?
Difficult to dance 'round this one
Till you pull it out, boy
You must have been so high
You must have been so high
Steal, burrow, reefer
Save your shady inference
Kangaroo done hung the juror with the innocent
Now you're weeping shades of cozen indigo
Got lemon juice up in your eye
When you pissed all over my black kettle
You must have been high, high
You must have been high, high
Who are you to wave your finger?
So full of it
Eyeballs deep in muddy waters
Fucking hypocrite
Liar, lawyer, mirror show me
What's the difference?
Kangaroo done hung the guilty with the innocent
Now you're weeping shades of cozen indigo
Got lemon juice up in your eye, eye
When you pissed all over my black kettle
You must have been
So who are you to wave your finger?
Who are you to wave your fat fingers at me?
You must have been out your mind
Weeping shades of indigo
Trapped without a reason
Weeping shades of indigo
Liar, lawyer, mirror for you
What's the difference?
Kangaroo be stoned
He's guilty as the government
Now you're weeping shades of cozen indigo
Got lemon juice up in your eye, eye
When you pissed all over my black kettle
You must have been high, high, high, high
Eyeballs deep in bloody waters
You're balls deep in muddy waters
Ganja? Please!
You must have been out your mind

more like religious ideology. those are the number of days that Satan and The Beast will reign over creation until they're thrown into the abyss. A lot of Maynard's lyrics are steeped in Catholic Ideology.

[@tmage23]

The title is a reference to the 30 years Maynard James Keenan's mother lived after suffering a debilitating stroke. While Tool have plenty of occult and esoteric references throughout their material, that isn't one of them.

That's all Tool songs. The Drums and Bass aren't just rhythm that supports guitar riffs and solos. They're front and center as much or more than the guitar. They're one of the greatest rock bands of all time for that very reason.

The guitar riff that starts around 0:48. That low chug into the long bend that feedbacks is so simple, but it's just such a cool sound. It's crazy how Adam is able to sound so unique with so little.

[@trashhuman3977]

In my opinion, this the best song to introduce people to Tool with. The catchy riffs and the 4/4 time signature make it more accessible to a wider audience, but it's still got the same complexity as the rest of Tool's discography. It's a pretty straight forward rock song for the most part, but not too straightforward that it's bland or boring.

"Now you're weeping shades of cozened indigo. Got lemon juice up in your eye." One of my favourite lyrics of all time. Unbelievably powerful and intelligent. It's up there with "Feeling eternal, all this pain is an illusion." Everything about The Pot is fantastic. The guitar, the drums, percussion, THAT bass, and the incredibly intelligent and profound lyrics that are bitter without coming across as bitter.

[@akeustis]

OK I'll admit, I think I got the gist of the song but this particular line went way over my head. Help?

[@philyates7670]

@@akeustis "Weeping shades of cozened indigo." Cozen means fake and indigo is a dark purple, the colour of bruises. So Maynard is accusing the person of wearing fake injuries. "Got lemon juice up in your eye." The cause of the weeping. But on the other hand by squeezing lemon juice into your eye you'll hurt yourself. So in a nutshell Maynard is telling the person that in wearing fake injuries to appear to be a victim, they will only inflict pain unto themselves when the truth comes out. But in true Maynard style he doesn't just come out with it, he uses this amazing example of descriptive language to convey the same message in an amazingly intelligent way. It fits in with the whole theme of The Pot. Crying Wolf. Lies. Hypocrisy.

@@philyates7670 This always throws me about this song and it's one of my favorite songs of all time. I get the meaning of the lyrics but I can never hear it in the song.

You look young. These guys popped up in the early/mid90s. I was a sophomore in college and recall someone spinning OPIATE -- before the song "Sober" came out and helped the band become popular. OPIATE is still my favorite of all of their albums and really captures their energy. They definitely evolved and their music became more complex and to me, they are arguably one of the most overall talented bands of all time. The guitar and bass (or vocals) don't get as much credit as deserved because Danny Carey is a fucking ROBOT. The best part? MJK was a stand-up comedian before rising to popularity as a singer. Check out some of the early episodes of MR SHOW (starring Bob Odenkirk and David Cross). =-)
