Take a closer look at the lyrics… f!$t!ng is just an allegory for our collective propensity to overstimulate ourselves with meaningless and often harmful distractions…
Many interpretations to this song, to me it’s about addiction and how it hurts everyone around the person who is addicted. “I’ll keep digging till I feel something” “ this may hurt a little but it’s something you’ll get used to”.
Y'all gotta do "Pneuma" Vic Firth cameras. It's Tool in concert but the cameras are on their drummer Danny Carey. It's one of the best things I have ever seen in my life.(Not to mention Pneuma is a bad a** song!)
“I don’t want it, I just need it”. Society, government, commercialism, marketing, capitalism, turn over and take it, it’s killing your body and soul, but making us a crap load of money and power.
I'm pretty sure he's saying people take things to extremes to try to feel something meaningful in life, because they are "bored" But being bored means you don't live in reality, so you might as well be... doing that act to yourself... because you're basically doing that anyway, metaphorically Could be drugs, eating, shopping, video games, an unhealthy relationship.... Maybe even specifically heroine, idk That how I always took it anyway
Banger!! This song is so dope live.
Leave ot to Maynard to boil a very deep social commentary down to an extremely explicit act. . . That is just so Tool
Yup. Deep lyrics about the societal perils of constant overstimulation, communicate via the imagery of a hand up the butt.
Peak Tool.

They do an "Extended Stinkfist" live that's incredible. Check out the Connecticut video
This song came out before smartphones, but how fitting this song is today?
It has always been fitting and it always will be. Human nature
All of their music is timeless.

Constant over stimulation numbs me😮

"It is called 'Stinkfist"
"Yeah, but..."

The more you get the more you want type shit.

You dont need to read it, we know the lyrics😅❤
Its not literal...Maynard often writes in metaphors. Love the reaction! Do THE GRUDGE! BEST SONG EVER FOR PEOPLE WHO LOVE DRUMS!
