Allow me to be slightly long-winded due to the depth of the ideas I'm trying to express With Maynard's declaration that they were "trying to see this song from a different angle and under a different light", it should be obvious that there was a breakthrough in regards to how they felt about this song in the few years they were touring after they had recorded and pressed it.
Indeed, even the greatest artist will find new inspiration in his old work. I think I'll coin that! With his plea to have the crowd grant him their collective feeling of vulnerability, I believe he had a very direct and essential message for all of us. No, I am not saying that "Maynard is God" or a prophet, but I believe that if there were a band out there that could speak to that which is within us… below the surface… it is Tool.
Thus, I think Maynard really gave us a glimpse into our struggle. I also believe he said it in the simplest way possible. For those of you that are not familiar with the evolution of the body, mind and spirit, you should check out some Buddhist literature. I believe that this song the live version was written entirely about the evolution of the mind. There's a bit of gray between the 2 concepts that can cause confusion. I don't know how many of you have a voice in your head that you know is your own but can't grasp how it actually sounds?
The one that speaks the words as you read to yourself, the one that you turn to when you're unsure I believe, as is not uncommon in spiritual circles across the world, that this is our very outlet to the divine. Or brief reflection of ourselves in a higher consciousness. The Ego itself is the dominant mental structure in our every-day lives. The Buddhists say that it's the veil in which covers the line between the corporeal and the enlightened. It's that which blinds us and tricks us into remaining in this evolutionary state until we literally hatch from the egg.
Even though the Ego tends to hold some people back those who grow very quickly inside the shell it is completely essential in our evolution As much as it is necessary, it is also very tricky.
It has the ability to fool all of the senses, to shut you down if it needs to We give full control of ourselves to this innate consciousness and handfuls of us come to realize it entirely. When we start to wake up, it's terrifying We are about to undertake reality-shattering events that will re-construct everything we thought we knew.
Just look at how we react as babies when we are born and how we deal with the world as we learn and grow. The fact of the matter is that we can't stay in the shell forever, regardless of how comfortable or familiar it becomes.
We have to come to terms with the idea and ease ourselves through the passing, as not to cause ourselves any more shock than necessary. It is just our reflection. As you can tell, I'm very passionate about this song and the truth that rings through me every time I hear it.
Hopefully there's at least one other person out there that shares the same perspective. If not, sorry for wasting your time. Staticfactory on December 03, Link. Are you still out there Staticfactory th3d3stroy3d on January 11, Staticfactory - thank you for sharing your perspective. It is the best interpretation I have read yet and I've read many.
I agree, the Salival live version of Pushit is a masterpiece. I view it as building another layer on an existing masterpeice Neurom on February 20, General Comment The Yin Yang sums up these lyrics pretty well.
Polarity, duality, energies combing to become greater than the sum of their parts or canceling each other out, always containing some part of the other within themselves. Light and dark, self and other, being and non-being, male and female, or even just two people in a relationship regardless of gender. It's the magnetic push-pull phenomenon. My Interpretation It is a song a bout Fear. Conquering ones fear is like pushing it onto one self.
There is no greater feeling than conquering ones fear. Survival is my only friend. Terrified of what may come. Remember I will always love you, as I claw your fucking throat away.
It will end no other way. Fear is the only emotion that you can eliminate with destruction Conquer fear and you can conquer anything. My Interpretation I believe this to be about the painful schism of leaving the home of your mother. If it was up to her, she would still be wiping your asshole as a 25 year old.
