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 agree with legomancer's comment completely, and i also agree with the idea that this song is about drugs. Drugs are believed to be a tool that can be used to reach our inner, spirtual selves.

I've always had this feeling like I'm looking through a window at the world, and it just feels really weird while I have it, almost like maybe I'm the only person who really exists or maybe even I don't exist. I know a number of other people who have had the same feeling, and it seems to come to pretty much every intraspective person I know. Just a thought, but I've always found that the lyrics match my feelings when I'm in that state- who knows, maybe Maynard goes through it too?

the title stinkfist means to get your hands dirty try new things.This song isnt about anal sex or sexual relations or relationships,its spiritual.
the song is about passing through to a new way of life,hence the borderline.but ''hes'' having doubts about it,so he asks his spirit guide to take his hand and bring him through.
heres the break down of the song :
''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''
hes saying he wants to try something new, a new way of life.that bordom of his life and faith is not a burden anyone should bare.he says that hes looking for constant stimulation,and he doesnt want it 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''
hes sayin that this change is new but he needs more,its not satisfying him. he doesnt want it but he needs it to feel and be stimulated.make him feel alive.he in deep now and wants to pass through the 'borederline'' to a new way of living and asks his spirit guide to tell him its ok and that he loves him and to take his hand and bring him through.
'' 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''
hes saying that this an help change bordom into pleasure. to say the word and you can feel something new.hes saying it s a perfect balance of pain and pleasure,within himself lies the key.and to go deeper and go far enough for his guide to tell him to stop.
''t'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''
once again he says thats its still not enough and hes too deep to get out of it and must go deeper to fell,know that hes alive.hes backing out of the borderline but his guide says it will hurt,it will hurt because hes throwing away all his beliefs for this feeling.but his guide tells him that hes ok.and to relax and slip away,to go deeper.
''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?''
now hes feeling and seeing new perception,over thinking and over anylizing everything,realiseing everythings sad.hes asking what happened to his beliefs?he asks how can it all mean anything to him if he was just seeeking it for feeling?for something new?,because now hes not feeling anything at all.
hes confused.
''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''
now he says he gonna keep digging until he finds a new feeling or feel somthing.now hes deep in the border line and the next step will be tough.he asks again is he still loved.his spirit guide reasures him,and tells him to relax,and take his hand.To enter the next step.
thats it.Sorry its so long but this song mans loads to me and i feel this is wright.
spiral out.

Mate, i've never done it, but why would you turn some one around to fist, unless you were going for their a-hole.
plus
"Elbow deep inside the borderline "
"Shoulder deep within the borderline"
Anyone know of a woman who cant take a whole arm? I'm not surgesting that a whole arm can be put up someones arse, but the anus is suposibly longer than the vargina, so by my reasoning, this song is about deep anal fisting.

After readying alot of the comments I'd have to say I'm a little on the fence
In my opinion here is a list of what I think these powerful lyrics could be about
1. Business
2. Fisting
3. Anal
or
4. Drugs
Those are no order. However you must respect Maynard. The man smarter than one should be.
Regardless of the lyrics. At least he doesn't have lyrics like Hilary Duff. (Random words that Rhyme)

I found a book that describes many aspects of these studies. Straight from that book I have found almost all of these meanings, especially 46 & 2.
The book explains how, the way that the world is going, shown through scientific proof/studies the world could possibly end withing 50 years (conservatively) if we don't do something.
Starting with the first stanza, it says we're in trouble and everyone better do something (boredome is not a burden anyone should bear)
Being that I have not studied enough I cannot pinpoint every detail but here are some more:
overstimulation: at the present time we have so much around us that 1) is killing us and 2) making us believe we are safe (numb to it)
Yet we kept getting more and more without stopping like we need it. (Kind of like a drug that we think we need but it is actually killing us)
the borderline and us entering into it would be us needing to bond with the earth (for that is what is in danger) and to make the change until we are balanced and deeply attached or part of (within) it, or her, mother earth
it will obviously take sacrifice to change the way we are, but it is needed(this may hurt a little...)
he goes on about how it sucks how we've become these uncaring un-intouch/spiritual people that don't even realize whats going on
the song plainly metaphors fisting, which Maynard (I'm pretty sure) said was one of the most sensuos things you can do.
The drug theory also works, as it is a perfect metaphor for our lust for a technology that is killing us.
We need to become more in touch and bonded with our Earth in order that it is not destroyed

^nah, i don't think maynard is necessarily saying that becoming numb to things is bad. i think he's talking about how in his mental/spiritual journey, he becomes numb to the subtleties in life, and he opens his mind to things that are more important. As he progresses, he stops thinking the way that "normal" people think.

(part 1).
This relates to the struggle to maintain creativity. For the writer to entertain and for us to be entertained, for "boredom's not a burden anyone should bear."
(part 2)
Continues this idea in that this was Tool's third album and depicts the strain of expectation for the band "and i wouldn't have you any other way."
(part 3)
The need for "more" in that each new creation has to evoke and inspire greater than previous works.
(part 4)
Fisting is the metaphor of the song. The notion of delving deeper into the creative self. Conversely, from the audience standpoint, the deeper exploration into our own psyche. Each journey needing to touch further inside.
(part 5)
Hey surely your getting it by now?
Then again interpretation is personal, and i'm just a sacred cow. "
Nail on the fucking head. I always considered this song to be a parallel to my listening relationship with this band.
"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"

'By all means be open minded, but not so much so that your brain falls out'
It's about drugs.
