If it means anything, I had Tool's album long before they were popular. While they are very talented musically, what they are singing about isn't what most people think. They're demo released in 1991 is named 72826.Originally Posted by David Merrill
No doubt, they're lyrics aren't designed to lead people out of darkness. Once I got the gist of the lyrics, sounded like they were channeling an angry dragon cast out of heaven or perhaps a very unrepentant and bitter criminal. P.S. SATAN on a telephone keypad would work out as: 72862. John 3:19. Guilt isn't something that rules or laws creates. In fact IRL, isn't repeated disregard for law what leads to guilt?
P.S. When I first heard the song Sober, to me it (no offense to anyone) sounded like he said with "I am just a worthless lawyer..."
