This song isn't about religion. It uses religion as a metaphor to get the information across. This song refers to someone who thinks they are better than everyone else. It emphasizes the trust that people take in others or the lack of it. Tool is not a religous band. By this I mean they don't promote their beliefs to try and persuade others to think the same. They want everyone to be their own person and not conform to the "usual" because that's the way it was done in the past.
I have a question for you. I like the response about what everyone has said about tool, and this song. my question is if he isn't ant religious about Christ and GOD. why did he come out with a band called crucifer? I love tool I love a lot of his songs even the one from a perfect circle Judith. I don't mean to bask anyone on what they say about the song I just have that one question is all.

You make a valid point. I feel a bit shallow for getting it wrong all this time. I always felt like something wasn't fitting right but I guess it was me growing to understand the "message". CstrifeH to help you with why Maynard named his other band Crucify I will need to quot him. "So crucify the ego, before it's far too late

@bjm2m5 MIMO'S. Yes you are correct. This song is not about Jesus or GOD it has nothing to do with religion. Maynard is talking about killing your ego. when you have spiritual awakening you ascend, "To ascend you must die" when you open your 3rd eye and awaken your consciousness you must kill off your ego in the process it's a very fucked up and depressing task and when you do kill your ego it does feel like you have died it's really not fun.
