Lyrics for Die Eier Von Satan as interpreted by Jondude11

Die Eier Von Satan Lyrics
Eine halbe Tasse Staubzucker
Ein Viertel Teelöffel Salz
Eine Messerspitze türkisches Haschisch
Ein halbes Pfund Butter
Ein Teelöffel Vanillenzucker
Ein halbes Pfund Mehl
Einhundertfünfzig Gramm gemahlene Nüsse
Ein wenig extra Staubzucker
... und keine Eier

In eine Schüssel geben
Butter einrühren
Gemahlene Nüsse zugeben und
Den Teig verkneten

Augenballgroße Stücke vom Teig formen
Im Staubzucker wälzen und
Sagt die Zauberwörter
Simsalbimbamba Saladu Saladim

Auf ein gefettetes Backblech legen und
Bei zweihundert Grad für fünfzehn Minuten backen und
KEINE EIER

Bei zweihundert Grad für fünfzehn Minuten backen und
Keine Eier ..

It is a recipe in german, using references to "the eggs (or balls) of satan".

To me, it is a test.
Imagine someone listening to this song for the first time, and thinking "ohh these guys sing about satan and stuff in german, probably leading some nazi revolution" and they are immediately turned off, and label tool as "satan worshipping nazis" or something.
The said person would have failed the test.
This song to me, tests a persons ability to thnk for themselves, and to think without blindly judging something.

I like Makoe's theory.

I have to admit that I was pleasantly surprised when I found out that it was just a recipe. Good to know Maynard has a sense of humor.

I read the translation, and I think its probably saying how ridiculous Hitlers plans were. How can you have a recipe without eggs? it doesnt work. Well, give me credit here I thought of this while I was stoned.

personally, i don't like to analyse tool's songs from face value, it's like reading words from shakespears poems.....come to think about it, i regcon it relates more to the nazi revolution, then Hitler will be the "satan" and if you put"egg" as the "product of hitlers mass destruction trying to take over the world" witch he fails at last then it will all make sense. As we know hitler prepared years prior the WW2, this can be "the preparation of cookie", "Bei zweihundert Grad für fünfzehn Minuten backen und"could stand for the war it self and still Hitler can't take over the world or something............................................................................arh.....thats my interpretation anyway...............am i sober?....................

This is the perfect example of what Tool means and why it shouldn't be a mainstream band, this song is asking us to think for ourselves and not take things at face value. aka German = Satanism
there just cookies man

Tool is mainstream unfortunately, so many people have already bandwagoned on them, at least here in NY anyway. It's so f*cking annoying when a band has been around for a long time and you've liked them, then one song gets popular and bandwagoned and everyone's all of a sudden a magic fan

Also I am not saying this as a means of pro-nazism but Hitler was a brilliant leader. He just was using his brilliance for the wrong causes. People forget to realize how close he came to controlling the entire planet. If he didn't find a german scientist's idea for radar obsurd Europe and the US would've been under his control

THATS TRUE LOCUST AND EKNICK DONT WORRY YOU MAKE SENSE!! IVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS BAND BEFORE BUT FROM WHAT I READ THEY SOUND LIKE THEY CAN REALLY CONFUSE YOU IF THEY WANTED TO. WHY ARE YOU GOING TO MAKE A SONG ABOUT COOKIES AND TWIST IT A LITTLE TO MAKE IT SOUND SATANIC OR LIKE ITS TO EXPLAIN HITLERS IDEAS?? WHY WOULD THEY CAUSE THE PROBLEMS OF THEIR FANS CONFUSIONS ON THEMSELVES??? DOWNED SYSTEM, YOU SUPRISINGLY MAKE SENSE BEING STONED AND ALL. =)

I agree with Makoe %110!! MJK's whole purpose is to get his listeners to THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX! Open their Third Eye and this is a prime example of it. MJK is using this song as a "filter" to weed out the weak minded sheep. It's Just a recipie for making Satan's Balls (like special brownies)!! That's it! A very good joke to suck in sheep, bleating for guidence. AND MOST OF YOU FELL FOR IT!!!

Keep bleating Sheep and walk through the corals of conformity to the wolves den for the slaughter.

Open your damn 3rd eye!

so ThinkOutsideTheBox you're a psychic then? Cause your Third Eye is psychic shit. Its like the eye that connect to the spiritual realm so you can see things for what they truly are. Anyway this song doesnt have a deep meaning. Stop over thinking and over analyzing (a little Lateralis reference) its just something they did for fun cause they couldn't think of something better to do to lead into Pushit. Of course im not saying all the other posts were wrong this is just my interpretation. You should all check out Lateralis, seriously, i think that song is saying "our songs arent as deep as they may seem" which is cool as hell that just means the fans are deep and have been inspired by tool, but they are basically just songs. heh i just interpreted a different song....i need a beer

i think this song is one big joke. I think they realise that Germans have the best language for saying evil shit even if its just a stupid recipe. None of that "non-conformist" -vs- "Conformist" bullshit. HAVE YOU HEARD SOMEONE SPEEK GERMAN LATELY, its awsome. Tool obviously know that, and they obviously know people well try and think of stupid meanings for the song when all it is, is something uni psyche students do in there spare time in order to see peoples reacations. (which is actually quite fun, you should try it) :)

I think its nothing more than what it seems. A recipe. People look at the title and immediately think 'They worship the devil.'

I really think its nothing more. :)

Hi! I'm a Tool-Fan from Germany, so please excuse the language mistakes I could make! Ok, I heard Die Eier von Satan and read the lyrics. And all I can say is: It's just a fuckin recipe!! I don't know how much foreigners associate Germany with The Third Reich, but I just can't see any parallels (don't know a better word) to it in the song. So the best interpretation in my opinion would be the one from Makoe.

"Women pitied him, unless they chose to mother him, but neither of these reactions was what he was looking for, especially in light of an un-descended testicle."
This was about Hitler. So all those fetish and no balls things might just be taken this way. But I agree with your views too, might just be cake recept to test peoples reactions and probably it is but one might try to find other meanings too.

i agree with makoe,

i was reading a tool FAQ and one of the questions was "are you guys nazis?" and the answer to it was "german does not equal nazi, dumbass" it certainly is a test, i believe. people are going to be freaked out and think its nazism while all it is is a recipe. ingenius!

paga105 got it i think... the whole thing's a joke. anything can sound evil if it's said in the right voice and language. think of what your dog hears when you yell "good puppy" in a really loud, nasty voice. and the irony is that the recipe for The EGGS of Satan contains several lines stating AND NO EGGS!!!!! hahahahahahaha Tool showing off their sense of humor once again, and proving that they are not always to be taken seriously
