yeah, yeah, i know. it's stupid, and carnal. and a rather immature interpretations of Tool's lyrics. but i just cant shake the feeling that there is a much more, well, offensive, meaning to Third Eye (at least the first bits)
"On my back and tumbling" - the victim is put into a position of weakness and is panicking fast.
"Down that hole and back again" - fairly self explanatory. maybe this has happened before?
"rising up, and wiping the webs and the dew from my withered eye" Rising up: the erection. wiping the webs is a visual metaphore for re-opening a place which has not been visited.
"In......Out.......In......Out......" this hardly needs explaining.
*i havent found much meaning in the whisperings to relate to anal sex.*
and the paedophile beckons: "came out to watch you play, why you running away?" to the child.
and the second time "so good to see you, i've missed you so much." perhaps he has been removed/arrested and re-released. "so glad it's over, i've missed you so much" 'it' refers to the time spent away (jail?) from the victim (or martyr)
"Pry-ing O-pen My Third Eye" we've all heard the phrase "brown eye". you know you have. no? go talk to a local 7-year-old. the anus is nicknamed the "brown eye" and could be called the third physical eye on the body. now think about it. yeah. ouch.
"but i do not recognize the vessel. but the eye seems so familiar" - the victim has vague recollection, but does not recognize his attacker.
"so good to see you once again, i thought that you were hiding from me" - the attacker realises that he has not been recognized and prepares to strike again.
"and you thought that i had run away, chasing a trail of smoke and reason" - the victim sees the attacker 'taken away' for what he had done, into the justice system, (the trail of "reason").
and then it all happens again: "prying open my third eye". and so the cycle returns.
sorry if this is a bit vague. it's late. hope it hasnt been posted before (it probably has)
