some these responses make me wish 2012 really does happen...
this song presents what all other tool songs do, a meaning that applies to anyone and anything that exists. maynard talks about the stone that can either be 'gathered, placed, arranged so shelter turns to home' or thrown 'to stay the stranger'. The lines that follow...'move by will alone' suggest that it is ultimately up to us...this stone can be used for benefit or harm, and it boils down to our human will that makes the decision. The lyrics are somewhat critical of human nature, as are a lot of tool lyrics, but at the same time it is something that needs to be said. The second verse continues this via fire that can 'light the way/warm the home we occupy' or 'forge a blade to slay the stranger'...and of course followed with 'move by will alone'...
@pahunter This songs also continues to Right in two, which talks about angels seeing how we kill ourselves, start wars and even "perfection" them. That suggest that we chose both: create a home and slay the stranger.
