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 actually think that this song is supposed to have a vulgar undertone. It's about sex between two people who are, for the most part, apathetic. They don't hate each other or anything, but they don't really love each other. They go through hollow motions to produce the only thing they know how to feel, sexual release.

Im pretty sure it is obvious at this point that the fisting is used as an example of an extreme, and that the fist(the drug) has to be pushed farther and farther(be used more and more heavily)

BUT! has anyone also realized that the farther the fist moves the closer it is to grasping his mind and forever taking hold of his brain, and in the end his soul...

I was just sitting in a car looking out the window when i realized this, just thought i would add

well, i was kind of wrong. This song is indeed about fistfucking. but also taking virginity. "this my hurt a little but its something you'll get use to" yeah your first time it will hurt. but you'll get used to it. this song has nothing to do with drugs or anything. its about sex.

I think this song is about being desisitized by whats around us(drugs,Violence,Money,You name it). The more you 'dig' with these things the more desinstized you get. but then you find feeling again with the simple things in life, to breath to feel to love and to simply know your alive.a great thing about this song is how many meanings it has. it could be about being bored in arelationship and the only way to stay together is to keep 'digging till you feel somethig'. it could be about drug use. whatever it means, this is ahell of a good song.

My favorite song by my favorite band, I've loved this song for years. But just having had a friend of mine go into rehab I think this song is about drug use in a co-dependent relationship.

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.

okay, i know the song isnt about fisting, but i really love the line "This may hurt a little but it's something you'll get used to". if that ain't totally SEXY, then i dont know what is.

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 ...

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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

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

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.

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.
