Lyrics for Eulogy as interpreted by implode

Eulogy Lyrics
He had a lot to say
He had a lot of nothing to say
We'll miss him
We'll miss him
We're gonna miss him
We're gonna miss him

So long
We wish you well
You told us how you weren't afraid to die
Well then, so long
Don't cry.
Or feel too down
Not all martyrs see divinity
But at least you tried

Standing above the crowd,
He had a voice that was strong and loud
We'll miss him
We'll miss him
Ranting and pointing his finger
At everything but his heart
We'll miss him
We'll miss him
We're gonna miss him
We're gonna miss him

No way to recall
What it was that you had said to me,
Like I care at all

But it was so loud
You sure could yell
You took a stand on every little thing
And so loud

Standing above the crowd,
He had a voice so strong and loud and I
Swallowed his façade 'cause I'm so
Eager to identify with
Someone above the ground,
Someone who seemed to feel the same,
Someone prepared to lead the way, with
Someone who would die for me

Will you? Will you now?
Would you die for me?
Don't you fucking lie

Don't you step out of line
Don't you step out of line
Don't you step out of line
Don't you fucking lie

You've claimed all this time that you would die for me
Why then are you so surprised when you hear your own eulogy?

You had a lot to say
You had a lot of nothing to say

Come down
Get off your fucking cross
We need the fucking space to nail the next fool martyr

To ascend you must die
You must be crucified
For our sins and our lies
Goodbye...

The first sensible point acknowledged that is, because it didn't regard you...when it regards you, and for that matter, disregards you, and gives you something to answer to, a challenge, you refuse intelligence, and common sense...

Anyway, I'm sure there's one thing we can agree on, and that is...

Tool is fucking A1 sauce...in other words...excellent...

I think this song touches on a person's courage to invite consequence, then becomes weak in the face of the peril of the inevitable...weak will and rhetoric serves no pledge when the end ultimatum is met with a cold-shoulder to its faith...

Wow, the first half of that was unbelievably pathetic.

I think it could also be about Maynard's time spent in the U.S Army.

Will you? Will you now?
Would you die for me?
Don't you fucking lie

Don't you step out of line
Don't you step out of line
Don't you step out of line
Don't you fucking lie

Most of Tool's song seem to have double meanings, especially the songs from this album.

Not pathetic, just truthful.
I understand something like that might cause disdain.
Your second half is...{insert rejection here}.

Tool and loot, nothing better.

What is wrong with the second half? Maybe you should listen to the Radio1 interview with Maynard where he actually says this song was inspired by his days in the Army, being taught to die for your president.

I wasn't inferring about the second half of your post, at all...
I was talking about something much different.

Tool songs have all kinds of meanings and interpretations.

Funny wasn't my aim, therefore I veto your petition.

The only thing I'm used to hearing by now is your monotonous gestures.

Interesting you say that, what you just said made no sense.

I expected more from a higher education.

Shoosh you lack-luster fool.

You should really go rehash on your secondary education.

Oh and yes, almost forgot, the context in question ("vetoing a petition"), will have nothing to do with being an uneducated twat...ever.

If you can prove to me that you're not a pretentious half-wit, I will gladly respect what you have to say, but nothing you have ever said thus far...has been educated.

Refrain from drinking your daily paint thinner before you respond.

I agree, it was perfect. And i dont believe I once mentioned how your are an uneducated twat because of you 'vetoing my petition'. No, that was for a totally different reason.

The last thing I strive for is you're respect.

Aller et sucer quelque balle faite au hasard de gars, et habiter jusqu'à votre image

Yes, perfectly perfect proof, of your worthless stupidity.

You're not worth words, at all.

I thought I told you not to drink paint thinner before you responded.

Kids...they never listen. (though, they are mimics)

Your language is rather petty, and it makes you look like some half-assed pretentious twat.

Shut your hole frenchy, no one cares about your poor hygienic practice, or the fact that you speak with a fifth graders tongue in french, so you don't look like an idiot in english.

Well, sorry to burst your bubble, but you are an idiot.

I guess you just figure on other people being stupid, and post up a rhetoric language, in the hopes that people won't know what the hell you said, when really you ARE just a pretentious twat that reverts to a random man's balls in french, and tells me to suck on them, so that I may live up to my image.

You're not too intelligent.

Way to go.

Also, yes, I know I am respect. Thank you.

In english: Eat your own words, and go to the grave with them.

Telling people to suck testicles in another language only earns you a large amount of stupidity points.

...and you thought you were clever...

Moron.

Wow that was funny. How long you spend typing that? Then proof-reading it, and then adding a little more? At least 20 mins in your little world.

I have lived in France/Italy since i finished university, which was a good 3 years ago. Something tells me I have more experience with the French language than you ever will. Were you using an online translation website? Go ahead, deny it you fool

You're very petty, which ironically parallels your stupid existence as a whole. I don't need to justify myself to such an illegitimate. I concede you nothing. The foolish thing, the funny thing, is the fact that you're a twit, who's constantly is made to feel stupid, which explains your weak gestures...that nitpick and show no significance to anything other than a useless search and seize. You have nothing to say, so you resort to the most pointless crap to throw from a corner that's blocked off. You remind me of a lot of typically stupid people. You're such a futile idiot. You were a mistake. I snicker and sneer at the fact that you're older than me, you fool in denial.

Another thing, don't ever make grammar, time, or supposition the basis of your argument.

I thought Oxford might have taught you that...
...you worthless student.

Go be the apprentice of anonymous opinion, you just may learn something.

If I were you, at this point, I wouldn't believe anything I say to be true.

How can you seriously talk about Oxford? I have achieved more in education than you ever will so why do you feel you need to point this out time and time again? You seem to be very insecure, constantly making refrences to my age and education. Is this because you didnt make employee of the month at McDonalds?

How can you honestly say that im a worthless student? You are unbelievably imature. Look at your own life.

When you have been to one of the top universities in the world maybe you will be able to make that comment. Until then consider walking in the road blindfolded.
