Very simple, guys. This song is primarily about how everybody is becoming desensitised to everything. It literally says this in its lyrics. It's not about anal sex, it's not about some sort of dysfunctional relationship, though you're all welcome to relate your own experiences to the song because it frankly doesn't bother me...but the fact is, and this is what TOOL is renowned for believing in (facts)...that this song is meant to wake us up and ask us 'what is the point?' If you've seen any or all of the Zeitgeist 'documentaries', you'll understand.
Also, if you're simply perceptive enough to notice just how malleable western society really is, how easily manipulated and conditioned we are by corporate manipulation and media influence (think the hype generated around APPLE products and their ideals of planned and intrinsic obsolescence, and the values/mores fed to us by hollywood and pop/rap/rnb/hip-hop music), then the idea that this song could possibly be about something as petty as a relationship or even about sex, is simply ludicrous. The lyrics encourage us to think outside the box, and simply put, people here are not thinking outside the box. Maynard would be most disappointed...we need to keep riding the spiral, people...
Hey man, I am glad you are getting the bigger picture, but as a result of those societal issues, our relationships and sex have suffered. Trickle down effect. AmIright?
