Hey everyone!
I just gotta say, by lookin past the surface of this song, or at least by tryin too, I get a lot more out of it. It goes past bein angry at how fake and superficial people and LA are. The word AEenma is a mixture of the word Enema, which is clearing of the bowels with fluid, and the word Anima, which is, in Jungian theory, the true inner subconscious self. It seems to me that this song is about clearing away those attachments to stupid useless shit that we don't need, and getting back to nature. He makes multiple references to mom, which is probably Mother Nature. Its about getting back to our true inner selves, uncovering what's hidden in our subconcious, and clearing away all of the shit, and learning how to swim. LEARN TO SWIM,
The Full Effect
i agree the more we advance as a race the less we stop and think about nature and how things used to be when everyone wasnt so corrupt you did what you had to do to stay alive but now everything is just so much more complicated if you can clean your self you will be back to childhood when you know nothing but what is in front of your eyes

Ok... My friends and I have done Extensive research and thought about this song. We have come to the conclusion that this song is tool's take on the preachings/ramblings of a man that goes by the name of H.P. Lovecraft. Look into his writings/stories/philosophes, you will find some very striking similarities between his Ideals and the lyrics of this song.

I like the idea about mom being "Mother Nature" but I think it may just be Maynard's reflection on what society has become. It goes back to the whole "who would win in a fight: an astronaut or a caveman?" thing. Many Americans often become isolated from the real world by their riches and end up in a kind of bubble shielding them from the real world's problems. As a result, they start to care less about serious problems and care much more about insignificant, childish things, i.e. celebrities and fashion and what's cool. We begin to forget about the...

We begin to forget about the real problems ("Fuck your short memory"). By saying that "Mom's coming around to put it back the way it ought to be", he is calling us all children who can't deal with our own problems and who need a true adult to solve them for us.
