I'm not sure I'd go so far as saying he thought the US government was directly involved in 9/11 from that quote. It's more that the people created the conditions that allowed it to happen. Or, if you want to get really deep then it's a reference to the belief that we are all one and therefore did it to ourselves. I wouldn't go that way though. |

| Tool – Third Eye Lyrics

Great analysis and I agree with you completely except I think the song is also at least related to drugs. I.e., drugs are a tool used to pry open the third eye. This is implicated by the reference to "desert buttons". Not to mention the opening line is about what a young man realizes while on acid. It's a funny joke because that's roughly what anyone who takes enough acid will feel like, since the drug temporarily suspends the ego. |
