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...

Take your own advice.
Grow up too. That is before you terminate yourself; you wouldn't want a depressing nostalgia left behind.
Although, I'm sure your dying day would be a surefire date to look forward to...for a good laugh.
Don't come here telling people to kill themselves, and acting like you know something.
You know nothing, so drop the rhetorical presentation that's brimming with stupidity.
What are you attempting to prove?
I guess you've got something to prove, too bad for you.
How can you honestly say that you know something about me?
Grammar doesn't have anything to do with "trying to look clever"...it simply has to do with competency.
Insecure because of your public display of stupidity?
Spare me.
McDonalds? Please...
When you can say that you actually have knowledge of me and not be foolish in the process (i.e. knowing nothing), then you can talk.
Until then, you're just a number with a name, with a time and date marking your insignificance, and you equal less than the fecal matter up my asshole.
So you can continue with telling me to walk blindfolded into the middle of a road, or telling me to kill myself (apparently because I'm actually competent), but remember this...you're nothing, nobody, zero, meaningless, words, and a little boy who tells people to kill themselves through internet platforms because it gives him the power that he lacks in real world interaction.
You stupid little computer geek.
Quit huffing the keyboard cleaner.
Go read a book. Go back to school. Anything.
Your presence here is degrading to yourself.

"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"
The "Someone who would die for me" is especially key. A leader such as Hubbard promised life and fullfillment. Possibly he offered to die for his followers, I don't know. But this ties into the lines:
"You've claimed all this time that you would die for me
Why then are you so surprised when you hear your own eulogy?"
Hubbard died unexpectedly and his core followers cremated him before an autopsy. So he never meant to sacrifice for his followers, and never meant to die. He was just in it for the money. A cheap old man sucking material funds from starved souls. What a fucktard.
It makes perfect sense that Maynard would write a song about this guy. Maynard is highly interested in the paranormal and vast insides of our potential. He would surely get upset by a counterfeit organization like this.

Bill Hicks was an idealist, and saw things in a way that most people dont. The whole Ænima cd was actually dedicated to Bill Hicks. Songs like "Ænima"
areclear references to his philosophy and vision of Los Angelas. Eulogy, is just about Hicks himself.
Listen to Bill HIcks "Arizona Bay" and "Relentless" cd's and hopefully you'll start to understand more.

"To ascend you must die
You must be crucified
For our sins and our lies
Goodbye..."
Personally, I agree to certain aspects of this song, not all, as Tool tends to be rather intense.

The song is about a selfless, angry, frustrated, attentionless, incredible person that Maynard's persona new in this song, but when he was in so much pain because of everything around heim, he killed himself.
Now Maynard viewed this person as near iconic, 'holy man' persona. Maynard really loved this friend of his. He was special, and captured his awe, just like that of another 'holy man,'--aka Jesus Christ.
Now the twist to this is that Maynard is so loud and angry in this song, is because in the Bible, if you kill yourself, its a garanteed ticket to hell. When Maynard hears this, he becomes angry.
How can Jesus die for his beliefs with such a life about him, but when it came to maynards friend, he didnt save Maynard like he preached he would. This makes Maynard question his beliefs in religion, about how unfair loosing someone so special to him could be damned, yet when Jesus comes along as an almighty figure that Maynard could give a shit less about goes to heaven, and yet in his eyes he views both of thier deaths in the end as rather needless and stupid.
"You claimed all this time that you would die for me then why then are you so suprised when you hear your own Eulogy.
Would you now, would you die for me, dont you fucking lie..."
I agree with maynard in this case. Loosing someone special for thier own selfish desires is foolish, aimless and aggrivating. It hurts.
