You need to react to “Prison sex” by Tool it’s a rough song to get through if you’re reading the lyrics. Not sure if the events happened to him in the song but definitely check it out.
When you grow up damaged by your relationships, you worry about passing the damage along to others like an infection. At the same time, you worry about getting close to those who can damage you more. How much damage can this person cause me? How much more can I take before I'm completely broken and useless to myself and others. You become very conservative with your feelings.
I have considered myself a huge TOOL fan for the entire time they have been blessing us with their gift and I have NEVER heard a more concise breakdown of the meaning of this song. Thank you so much.❤
Can you please react to Tool’s “Push It” (Off of the Salival Cd/DVD live version)?! The live version is my absolute favorite and I think it will blow you away too! 🤘🏽😎🔥💕
Thank you India. Love YOU and TOOL. This is one of my favorite songs I actually listen to on repeat all the time. So emotional. And could have multiple meaning. I'm an ex H addict so I relate to it in different ways than how MAYNARD'S intended it. I found out later in life his meaning for writing it and was just like HOLY SHIT it's amazing how good lyrics can touch ppl for different reasons. He's a genius in my eyes and his voice makes me want to cry, punch something or someone at times, conquer my demons and the world and help others overcome their struggles all in a 6 min some. It's awesome and crazy as shit. Thx.
Turning piss into wine - he’s talking about making music, turning his traumas and issues (piss) into songs and money (wine). This is about fear of being a bad father to his own son as his was to him
@@ianscottt3642 Try listening to this song again under the assumption that it is about him being raped by his father. Every lyric in the song fits this...
He is talking about having his first-born and the 24hr regimen, random cries and compilations. Looking to send him to the drank! The snake is the child in this song, sweet snake... I don't mind!
If you want another song like this....Jimmy is an emotional roller coaster and just a Banger of a song. Basically about Maynard speaking to himself as a child and dealing with his Mothers' illness and death.
it's a façade for sure. Nobody gets the lyrics immediately, it just doesn't happen. The forums existed for years for this exact reason. She's full of it, but atleast I get to watch someone experience this stuff. Lol
To me this song is about the birth of his son. His son name is Devi. His middle initial is h. And it feels like he singing about the change in his life that a child brings. He’s watching his old ways go and new feelings coming over him. Days away I still feel you touching me. Being away from him but still thinking about and realizing the change that’s happening. Considerately killing who he was.
you have a wonderful quality about you...a gift/curse. You understand/feel others’ Internal strife and tumult. The world needs more people like you. You should, immediately, seek a career in social work. I am a social worker....We need people like you. You interpreted Maynard on your first try. That tells me you have a high IQ. Yes, Tool makes you smarter.
His old man was an asshole. So, he’s afraid he is going to channel that same asshole and monster towards his son. This song is, in a macabre way, a love letter to his son.
U are a perceptive and smart woman to catch these concepts so quickly! Always have lyric videos for TOOL! Not only are the other 3 guys great musicians but Maynards voice is another instrument and what he says thru the emotion of his voice is important for each song...Do Vicarious, Right In Two, Pneuma, Invincible etc ;) Great job! Push It was a great reaction too!
Really enjoyed your reaction/review of the song, I have been a huge Tool fan for over 15 years...This entire album is fantastic, I would love to see you listen to more and hear your thoughts on the music and the lyrics. Everyone in Tool is a master of their respective craft. Opiate, Undertow and Aenima are their younger years/more raw and aggressive...but still very...'Tool' later on you get Lateralus, 10,000 Days and now, 13 years since the last album, they released Fear Inoculum. This is a band who makes music you experience. I really hope you dive into more Tool, you seem to dig it so far...I'm going to see if you have heard any others, but yeah, good stuff! Thanks for sharing your time and thoughts!
Its about leaving the past behind (the snake is drowned) for his child(my blood before me begs me to open up my heart again) . If you love your child eventually they are going to do something to make you die inside just like partying and such kills you
More tool! Love it. Great how you went in on the lyrics and meanings but give some attention to the great work of the instruments as well! You didn't even mention what you thought of the SOUND of the song!
This is in my top 3 songs, becasue it reflects whole heartedly everything , im not the snake though, the snake whispered in my ear taking my life, at times i just wished it would, i could have welcomed that.
Nobody sounds like Tool. I was introduced to them by a friend after a couple of blunts lol I was stunned on the song. Been a fan since then. This was back in 98' Great band You should listen to Eulogy song is awesome
H is also means heroin here. snake in heroin effects and his son is coming and he tempted to use it. but its just a layer in song meaning.. a metaphor. he talks about to conection to destruction .. "begging blood" son coming and heroin: they are killing me just the same. snake behind me hisses.. and at the end he says.. i have died... i will die.. thats alright, i dont mind...tool has another one about drugs in this album called third eye. they see drugs as a gateway.
Snakes also represent wisdom/teachers in many cultures, so he probably means both the positive and negative of the various symbolisms , he is quite anti religious. Some people say this song is about his Son (which I think it is) but deeper, he was abused when he was young and could be that he was scared he might pass that on to his own child (as many abusers were abused themselves when younger) although I don't think that really it. but I think this tune represents his sons birth and how it rebirthed him as well, great thing about Tool is the meanings are up to the listener deliberatly so, so it means what it means to you
the snake and the blood he speaks about in the lyrics are his conscience, the snake resembling the serpent which is what is bad/negative (the shadow). the blood resembling all the people who have passed before him (ancestors, family, his elders and his positive/good part of the conscience). the shadow which is the unconscious self is telling him what his damage couldve have been, his ego telling him that he couldve done some good damage and he shouldve. his blood before him reminding him that he needs to open up his heart to heal and not to be manipulated by his ego the serpent, the snake, the shadow. ( i am too connected to you to slip away) that part is about his connection to his higher self, the self that has lived already before his present self and with eyes to see and ears to listen, it can guide you. essentially the spirit guide. (i have died, i will die, i dont mind) in the spiritual community, the belief is that your soul has been through many lives before in order to get where its at now, inside the body you carry, the vessel. it needs to live through phases in order to proceed further into the next stage of evolution and living on earth as a human is one of those phases one must do. so in the lyrics he claims to be aware of this and he doesnt mind dying again. -- this is all just my interpretation but i started to see a pattern in their lyrics a while back and it makes sense to what they are on about, in their new album they dont even seem to hide it anymore, its straight up gospel rock and its freaking dope! the more you listen to their songs the more you realize what they are really talking about. they are really spiritually conscious when it comes to their lyrics forsure. even when it comes to tuning their instruments a certain way and strumming/drumming in certain patterns. they know what they are doing. amazing band.
This is just for your own understanding. This song is about the birth of his child. My blood before me is his newborn. The snake behind me is the devil on his shoulder. This song is about killing his old self to grow into the man he needs to be to raise a child.
His dad beat him. Hes looking down at son (“blood before me”) and is worried he’ll do the same. “The snake behind” is the evil temptation passed on from his father.
But you are rite about reflection. He’s talking about his son AND father as all three are a reflection of each other. “Still feel you touching me” is his dad beating him.
That doesnt really make any sense with the lyrics. Commonly accepted meaning is that the song is about his at the time unborn son (middle name, just "H."), reflecting on the trauma of his own past and family relations, how to grow as a person and not pass the damage on.
if you are getting interested in tool songs, especially with lyrics, I would suggest you react to the Wings for Marie trilogy. the three songs have very powerful lyrics. start with Jimmy, then Wings for Marie part 1 & 2, in that order. the lyrics tell a story.
The song always came across as describing childhood trauma particularly around sexual abuse which likely occurred when Maynard moved to his dad in his very early teenage years.
This is what this song is to me. This song is about my father. His phyiscal and mental abuse still massively affects me today. I'm 38. Even with years of therapy. He is still consideratly killing me. I still hear his voice hissing what my damage could have been. Years away, I still feel him touching me, changing me. And now that I am 0 contact and I watch as he's drowned, as I look in his eyes (the damage), my fear begins to fade recalling all of the time I could have cried, i should have cried. He killed me; I have died He still is; and i will die Its alright, i don't mind, i don't mind.... because i screamed for help yet was never heard. I am still in theapy. TOOL has helped me cope with so so much trauma . Thank you for validating this point ❤
💯 and the fear of how that trauma might impact his ability to change ('die') to be a good parent to his child until 'the fear begins to fade' when he's born and looks into his son's eyes. This song has deeply moved me since I discovered it as a teen, and now even more so as an adult facing pregnancy and the loved ones in my life who weren't able to overcome their traumas to stay around for their offspring
Opiate isn't a full length album its an EP. the record labels count undertow as their first album. Maynerd talks about it being an issue in an interview
Elvis 68 special, song. One Night With You. You see a little of his humor. It's not real long. Please and thank you. Song you're currently doing is not my taste but you'retrying to please the masses so I understand.
Maybe when a snake sheds its skin it's just changing.; shedding its old self.. Snakes hold no malice... I now realize after actually finishing your video that you get that lol sorry.
@@ohioagainsttheworld5453 No animal other than humans are inherently evil. Only humans can choose to want to hurt things. Other species are defensive or hungry.
Brandon Burge if you think of the time the albums were made in many of his friends were on heroin or dieing from heroin.. and being a recovered drug addict myself that’s how it speaks to me at least.

I once had a girlfriend who hated Tool because she "prefers songs that are about something." What a lost soul she turned out to be.
lmao the irony

Holy Shit! I was at that show in Philly (Electric Factory Aenima Tour '96)! I was only 15, didn't understand it at the time. Now I do.

Allen Bowlds Dude I don’t know what the fuck you’re talking about. You could make that case for prison sex, but that’s not correct either.
He is talking about having his first-born and the 24hr regimen, random cries and compilations. Looking to send him to the drank! The snake is the child in this song, sweet snake... I don't mind!
I agree with prison sex being the song for being molested by his father. I originally thought H was about Heroine addiction.
If you want another song like this....Jimmy is an emotional roller coaster and just a Banger of a song. Basically about Maynard speaking to himself as a child and dealing with his Mothers' illness and death.
You're oddly good at picking up on Tool song meanings quickly... that's what's up.
The funny thing is that lyric interpretation is not one of India's strongest points. But she's on it with them.
No offense, but she is just reading something she looked up.
Brett Manus Most of the time yes, but this song she seems to get.
it's a façade for sure. Nobody gets the lyrics immediately, it just doesn't happen. The forums existed for years for this exact reason. She's full of it, but atleast I get to watch someone experience this stuff. Lol

I love that there is a whole genre on RUclips of people hearing tool for the first time. If you decide to give another review consider Judith
If you can hear the "I should have died / I don't mind" without tears. You don't get it.

He may also be referring to the psychedelic experience when he brings up the snake. This band is heavily influenced by spirituality and psychedelics

This is just for your own understanding. This song is about the birth of his child. My blood before me is his newborn. The snake behind me is the devil on his shoulder. This song is about killing his old self to grow into the man he needs to be to raise a child.
Danny Carey , Maynard , Justin and Adam are musical gods!
You are smart in your assessment its hot
His dad beat him. Hes looking down at son (“blood before me”) and is worried he’ll do the same. “The snake behind” is the evil temptation passed on from his father.
“ H. “ Has something to do with his middle name.
But you are rite about reflection. He’s talking about his son AND father as all three are a reflection of each other.
“Still feel you touching me” is his dad beating him.
Not sure about this, he’s close with his father...
@@bcknight727 i believe it was a step father actually
his step dad, not dad
My addiction related to this song ridiculously even tho it has nothing to do with addiction
the song is about whatever you want it to be about . That the coolest thing about his music
I love all music accept country but I would like to see some videos like this in reverse....like Maynard reviewing some oldies from the r&b genre
Reborn...
It started part way through the song. Curious as to why.
Like many other Tool songs, this is about psychedelic experiences.
It’s about his heroin addiction-H was a common slang term for the drug when this song came out.
That doesnt really make any sense with the lyrics. Commonly accepted meaning is that the song is about his at the time unborn son (middle name, just "H."), reflecting on the trauma of his own past and family relations, how to grow as a person and not pass the damage on.

Years away, I still feel him touching me, changing me.
