A Perfect Circle – The Package Lyrics 9 years ago
This song is in the album that is entirely about the twelve step program. And this being the first song of the album this is the first step in the program. The first step in the program is admitting that we are weak to our addiction.
The package is our addiction and the narrator says that "Clever got me this far,Then tricky got me in" meaning he used people to get his drugs.

Then the narrator says "Smile and drop the cliche 'Til you think I'm listening, Take just what I came for, Then I'm out the door again" meaning just shut the fuck up and give me what I came for.

"Lie to get what I came for, Lie to get just what I need, Lie to get what I crave, Lie and smile to get what's mine" the narrator says this is what he did to get his drugs: by lying.

The narrator then gets aggressive and wants to feed his addiction by yelling "Give this to me, Mine, mine, mine, Take what's mine, Mine, mine, mine, Take what's mine, Mine, mine, mine" wanting his drugs back. This proves to us that he is weak to his addictions and needs help.

Hope this helps

Tool – Third Eye Lyrics 9 years ago
I think that this song is about someone(loved one maybe child) who has passed away. And the narrator is dreaming of their "face again" and In the beginning Bill Hicks is talking about how drugs can help. So this person has turned into a drug addict and is trying to stop but is brought back "Down that hole and back again"
This person is high to feel better and believes that he sees the loved one "playing" so he "came out to watch you play" but him/her starts running away and the addict starts to cry and screams "why are you running away!"
Third eye is a metaphor for finally realizing what is true/reality so the addict is "Prying open my third eye" so see reality and that he/she Is gone but thanks the drugs for letting the addict see the loved one once again. And realizes that this entire time he's been "Chasing a trail of smoke" meaning the loved one was never there but he did it for "reason." The reason is because he loved him/her.

A Perfect Circle – Counting Bodies Like Sheep to the Rhythm of the War Drums Lyrics 9 years ago
The government are trying to control us with the media and we believe everything that the media says and so we start following it. We become sheep, we believe everything that is told to us and we follow it, but those that are smart enough to not follow anymore are killed because the government are very afraid of the people who are against them. They are exterminated, for lack of better word, and because we are sheep and following the government we don't know of the destruction we are heading to and that the government are trying to hurt us.
