That or it could possibly be relating to death by suicide. The deep depression that some of us feel. That when the walls come down and we are left alone, there are only 2 options: end it now, or find hope and place faith in overcoming our insecurities. "Pain is an illusion", I know that statement has kept me here in this world. The thought of that statement gives me the strength to go through one more day. I remember that all that is physical, is ill-logical. It is only a destraction. I must stay focused on what my life is about. In the song right before this one on Tool's album Maynard asks, "Is this a Test? It has to be. Otherwise I can't go on." To me that is what I feel when I hear it. It is the feeling of hope and inspiration, a chance to go on. But that's me. Things have different meaning for different people.
deminois, i wish my sistor's friend read what you had to say. He was a big fan of tool and dream was to see them live. On saterday april 4th 2009 Robert "BOB" was in a deep deprision after braking up with a very close gril friend almost husban and wife and decided to end his life with a self infelcted gun wound. If had only read what you said he could still be here today although i didn't know bob very well i do know he was a good man. your comment to this song wolud have gave him...

"Disconnect and self destruct, one bullet at a time
What's your hurry, everyone will have his day to die
If you choose to pull the trigger, should your drama prove sincere,
Do it somewhere far away from here"- Maynard

I actually agree with your reference to suicide. I was just listening to the song and thinking, "if pain is an illusion and we truly are eternal, why is he stressing the fact that we need to embrace this body and the chance to be alive if we are never going to die anyway? If we are eternal then I don't care about this insignificant life." That's when I thought of the suicide aspect. If you are so depressed and thinking about ending your life, you still will not die, just your physical body will. ...

If you are so depressed and thinking about ending your life, you still will not die, just your physical body will. Your soul will look back and regret that decision because it made no difference; all that pain you were experiencing wasn't real anyway. If you had just realized that fact you could have gotten the most out of that physical life. Now you ended it too early and moved on to some different aspect of eternal living. Basically, our souls are only occupying these bodies once, so make the most of it, because once your body dies you won't get it back. That's how it relates to suicide, so that dude above me callin everyone emo is a dumbass.
Actually the song has nothing to do with suicide at all. It's a very positive song (just like most of their stuff). The song is about this miniscule moment in time that we as spirits have been actually placed into this world..onto this earth. The one thing that none of the "gods" have ever had the chance to do. To be mortal and eternal at the same time. In short, enjoy the ability to see, hear, smell, smile, love, etc...because it is only for a flicker in time that we get to do this. Do not be sad when something...

Do not be sad when something earthly seems to be troubling, it is only of this world and it isnt real, not in the grand scheme of things. It is a "Holy" moment, a gift, given to us by the Creator of all. Once this is realized it becomes more easily understood and appreciated. Yes,...all this pain IS an illusion.

Nice, you listen to both Tool and A Perfect Circle. Maynard has a Midas voice, in that his song's are almost always golden.
