| Tool – Ticks and Leeches Lyrics
| 22 years ago
|
|
This song is about shitty people, (vampires, ticks and leeches), and their tendency to drain you. "Beat my compassion black and blue..." More, it about how you feel when you have finally run out of patience with the abusers and shitheads in your life; when you decide that you must cut them loose and move on to other things. |

| Tool – Parabola Lyrics

|
This whole album is entirely comprised of therapy concepts, concepts used in counseling and therapy to help people keep from freaking out. This is not about sex, although that is what I thought it was about when I first heard it. The concept here is the practice of living RIGHT NOW, which is very hard. It is about the difficulty and the reward of not living entirely in the past and in the future. The idea is to live without your preconceptions and your hopes and projections ruining the wonder of the immediate world. Try it sometime, and you will see why it is worth writing songs about. The pain metioned is the anguish of always worrying about the past and the future. Those things are not happening right now, so any pain you are feeling from the past and the future is illusionary. It is only you. Crucify the ego, and you find that there is not much that is worrisome that is happening RIGHT NOW. Try it. |
