Lyrics for Stinkfist as interpreted by implode

Stinkfist Lyrics
Something has to change
Undeniable dilemma
Boredom's not a burden
Anyone should bear

Constant over stimulation numbs me
But I would not want you any other way

It's not enough
I need more
Nothing seems to satisfy
I don't want it
I just need it
To breathe, to feel, to know I'm alive

Finger deep within the borderline
Show me that you love me and that we belong together
Relax, turn around and take my hand

I can help you change
Tired moments into pleasure
Say the word and we'll be
Well upon our way

Blend and balance
Pain and comfort
Deep within you
'til you will not want me any other way

It's not enough
I need more
Nothing seems to satisfy
I don't want it
I just need it
To breathe, to feel, to know I'm alive

Knuckle deep inside the borderline
This may hurt a little but it's something you'll get used to
Relax, slip away

Something kinda sad about
the way that things have come to be
Desensitized to everything
What became of subtlety?

How can it mean anything to me
If I really don't feel anything at all?

I'll keep digging 'til
I feel something

Elbow deep inside the borderline
Show me that you love me and that we belong together
Shoulder deep within the borderline
Relax, turn around and take my hand

I think you guys have gone way too far.
it is about fisting-
this song is about a relationship-
The guy is with a girl and he isn't really thrilled by her - he is not attracted (he is sexually attracted though) to her anymore.
so to keep the relationshop stable, he needs to have very exciting sex - this is the only 'way' they could want one another. thats the only attraction.

I really liked tool's music but after I heard this I totally lost respect for Maynard. This is gay. Song is totally fucking gay. anal fisting is fucking gay and I won't be surprised if Maynard is a homo. Sure he is a great singer and intelligent vocalist and all that crap but the bassist and drummer are really the guys that kick ass in that band

This song is about how many people are unsatisfied and once you start a habit its hard to break. eg. fingerdeep (start) but eventaully that bores them and they take it further and further desensetizing them selfs as they go on and on taking it to further and different extremes.

Love:
It could be about love and how eventually your never satisfied with the person and you get bored with them always wanting them to improve

Drugs: taking a lesser drug or a lesser amount that you think wont harm you opens up a gateway to worse things and how after a while the drug you have been take or the drug amount no longer satisfies you and u need more and cannot stop. An addiction.

Relationships:
"what became of subtelety" is a good example on how people dont want to go with the ups and downs in relationships they just want a quick fix. they are quite about their emotions and care not about what happens as long as they get sexual stimulation (fisting, fingers, and so on is some what an example of this interpretation)

you might disagree but i think all of the above are correct.

MJK is simply fucking us.

He alone holds the meanings. The fisting idea is quite literal. I think the song is about wanting the illusion of ''life.''

I think Maynard's words need to be shared with the world, in their most accurate form. He is something of a lyrical genius, and we all know this. The site is very simple, but the main object of my site is not the layout, it's the lyrics. You will not find more accurate tool/apc/puscifer lyrics anywhere. So feel free to browse, peruse, if you will, http://www.maynardslyrics.com ...

I have all the Tool albums done, minus Opiate, which will be added very soon.

All his APC stuff, minus emotive, which will be added very soon.

And as soon as his Puscifer stuff comes out, expect it to be added as well.

If you see any lyric or line that you feel is not what you think it should be, please feel free to email me @ magiclessmarker@maynardslyrics.com

ok, mine mite be a little dif, but TOOL is way deeper then their being given credit for. I think this song is about adam and eve. if uv ever watched the vid, ull see a guy thats extremely cold and bored looking, probobly allone in eden. later he takes off a chunk of flesh from his shoulder and eve was formed. there was a nother part where both of their brains look like their being attacked by a tumor, this would rep. the apples of knowledge. in the lyrics their are clues like
"Something kinda sad about
the way that things have come to be
Desensitized to everything
What became of subtlety?"
this could have to do with being given everything to them by god and not having to work for it.

So this song could be about being desensetized...but in order to get that meaning out of a song about fisting, us as listeners must be desensitized to the whole idea of anal fisting. That makes me happy for some reason...Tool, you rock.

dating a nymphomaniac?

"constant overstimulation"

that's what i see it as...cause really, i dated a nymphomaniac [practically], and it took the fun out of sex..

This song is about choosing compassion over fear. he uses fisting as a extreme abstract way of talking out this subject

ok, i wont insult your name.
(though i could)
but you are a cunt.
you're a homophobic imbecile.
shut up. shut up. shut up. shut up. shut up.
i go through this homophobic SHIT every day at my fucking school, and it's just not fucking on.
have you even listened to tool's lyrics?
they are AGAINST discrimination and violence to others. homophobia is as bad as racism, and it disgusts me. but then, you're probably a racist too.

This song is about fist-fucking a girl's ass. Maynard said it himself in concert. Suck it bitches. Suck it dry.

During an interview, Keenan stated that the song is titled after a friend of drummer Danny Carey who "isn't afraid of getting his hands dirty." He also stated that it can be interpreted as being about "fist-fucking" but "if [you] really look at it and really look at us and who we are, [you'll] understand that we go a little deeper than some write-off song about fist-fucking...

This song is very, very sad; which is a point I think a lot of people might not see. He sympathizes with his sexual partner, but the sex is meaningless to him. Maynard is saying that no matter how extreme, no matter how "exciting" he tries to make it that it will never be enough to make him feel loved or connected. No matter how deeply he fists (metaphorically, shoulder-deep) he is so desensitized to anything sexual because he's done it all, again and again, he can never have the same physical and emotional connection to a person so he they have to convince themselves that by doing the extreme, they are still feeling.
The subtlety reference basically means that he misses the excitement, the arousal, the deep feelings he once had when he hadn't had too much of it, when there was some surprise left and he had not yet become numb to it all. I really feel for him, because I fear losing that in my relationships, just from having too much of a good thing.

This is my favorite tool song. I like how there's two meanings; one is literal and kind of disgusting, but if you really listen to it it's actually a really beautiful song. My friend really likes tool, he made me listen to this song and I was like what the fuck this is disgusting. And now I can't stop listening to it!

The "Chupa minha Pica" question...

Well people. I love all Tool´s songs, but Stinkfist is the best.
Being Brazilian, I can tell what that part "chupa minha pica..." means. Some of you got it right , means "suck my dick, or even better, COCK, (pichu means nothing in portuguese, probably he meant to say BICHO, a slang for BUDDY), and he repeats "suck my cock, and uses PINTO, which is another slang for dick [yes, we Brazilians have way too many different slangs for eitheir cock or cunt and the combination of both {AKA, fuck}]. So it would be something like:
"Suck my cock buddy
Suck my cock dick"
Hope I´ve helped.
Good Life to all of you.

Movies and Media desensitizes us, saying if we can't look at it, we're not strong. So the process of desensitizing entails that you force yourself to keep your eyes open, show you're strong, relax, surrender and let the images enter you."This may hurt a little but it's something you'll get used to." Eventually, once you're strong enough to handle it, you'll want to see more.

I think the song is really about a heroin addiction, but after it was wrote he titled it "Stinkfist" to make it sound like it was anal fisting, giving it a double meaning. Maybe it was intended to leave you confused or wondering.

To me, the song is a dialogue between a person who is addicted and a drug. But what is the drug, you can think almost about everything.

what is borderline, check here:

We should certainly not take what Maynard said in an interview to be gospel. The man is always sarcastic and facetious...I don't doubt for one minute that he said what you claim he did, however he's said a lot of things that weren't true and just plain ridiculous.

Think for yourself ... question authority ...

This song is about Maynard being a sex addict and how he is in love with a girl but its hard for him to control the addiction and doesnt want her to think that all he wants is sex. He needs sex but does not want to scare away the one he loves because of his sex addiction.
