blotter

[Dark Globe]

The whol song is about a guy basically forgeting his pen....everyone says he is saying blotter, which if true, blotter has a real good meaning in this song

blotter: a piece of paper used to blot ink;a book for temporary entry

it, really, really, really... is about a bad trip...but with overtones of maynard saying "Stop following me like a god, fuck ya'll" all in a good familiar not too familiar tune.

im just wondering why people dont see drug references in 3rd eye. I've been yelled at for saying 3rd eye is kinda about drugs. ive always seen 3rd eye as the good trip... then he took too much.. ends up in a hospital (lost keys) then the bad trip or recall, telling the story of a bad trip...(RS)

just me thoughts

peeace.

[Dark Globe]

how dare you fuckers call me a fuckin dumbass, i believe what i believe, now you can go believe what you want to believe. What song is about drugs then? i didnt say that tool has never recorded anything with drug references, but their is not one song, straight up that is about drugs...Third Eye is about your third eye, not straight up about trippin...read the fuckin lyrics you fuckin waste of life

Speaking of drugs, you should take a Valium or something and chill the FUCK out!

Don't say "Go believe what you want"; and then "No Tool lyric has anything to do with drugs, go read the lyrics you waste of life!".

Total contradiction my brotha.

I say he should take prozac and ritalin

[savelints8]

Ritalin is fun. So is Viagra. DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, MIX THEM.

[Sanzen]

I was convinced it was "bottom got on top of me"...like...up is down, down is up? give it another listen. Any takers?

maybe you should read the lyrics?


"Like phosphorescent desert buttons
Singing one familiar song..."

yall are fuckin dumb asses, yal know nothing about tool

[Semp]

Die Eier Von Satan

To be fair Rosetta Stoned isn't just a straight up song about drugs... it mixes drugs and alien abductions, but in anycase to think that the reference to the blotter, especially linked to lines such as "gotta be, deadhead chemistry" and the segue's reference to Albert Hoffman, inventor of LSD, is purely based around stationary is, well, stupid.

[Stiff13y3]

yall are fuckin dumb asses, yal know nothing about tool

*bows down to the mightyness that is the all seeing and all knowing bermuda electric eyeball*

you are right we know nothing about tool, teach us oh great one and tell us, when is the film clip to vicarious going to be released?

[Dark Globe]

i bet it will not be released anytime this year. but maybe late next year

Em... "Sober" is about doing drugs, dickcheese!!

"Sober, It's about doing drugs and ya know why can't we do drugs if something positive happens. And we get a lot of people who can't handle drugs that think it's about not doing drugs and being sober" - Adam Jones

I rest my case!
So are you going to apologise to all the beautiful people you've offended on this thread?!!!! or are you too far up your own ass?

[Peaceful Moments]

Dude, have you ever smoked pot and/or tripped? If not, do so and listen to Third Eye. 'Nuff said imo.

[squinch]

well then, that certainly got bad ugly in a quick hurry

as in all literary analysis, context is essential to meaning

in this instance, when we look carefully at the context of the word blotter, we see that it can only be being used as a slang reference to LSD soaked paper

not some reference to a notebook, or what-the-fuck-ever-it-was-you-claimed - do not expect to be unchallenged here

do your research, read the rest of the forum (much of this has all ready been hashed out), thicken your skin, know when you're right, know when you're wrong

[trickma]

this song isnt about drugs... no songs, ever have tool wrote a song about drugs...
only have they included drugs on songs, he is talking about a book to fill entries.

What?

Dude in Lost keys (Blame Hoffman) isn't there a skit at the end where the patient is diagnosed with something the doctor and nurse are totally unaware of?

*Blame hoffman = Blame Albert Hoffman, the guy who invented LSD.*

The patient is then asked to tell his story and he does, throughout the allegory delivered and the way in which the song is musically crafted it is pretty damn clear it is in reference to a psychadelic experience.

Wow you're daft. Have you ever listened to Third eye, Gaping Lotus Experience....the list could go on.

Stop thinking in such one deminsional terms.

It is about PRYING OPEN YOUR THIRD EYE. Prying it open with a tool and guess what tool that might be?

*sigh*

[Dark Globe]

eat shit and die you fuckin morons, and yes i have tripped. I have done acid more times then you all combine i bet, so get off my back cause its my fuckin opinion

[Aunt Acid]

Why do people refuse to admit that Tool does drugs? Or why do they admit that Tool does drugs but refuses to beleive Tool would ever write about them or on them?

[Peaceful Moments]

Word.

[jonboy]

A little acid opens your mind. This is what a lot does to you.

[kcobain3]

Maynard In one interview also said he and his friend wrote a song on opiate while tripping on acid all night

Amen brother!

[sysyphus]

I totally agree with everything everyone has said except that Die Eier von Satan is about drugs. I like to think the overall message is what the song is about.

Yes, but he mentions drugs. The thread starter refuses to admit Tool has ever even mentioned drugs.

You wanna be on probation, don't you?

[Dark Globe]

Bottom has nothing to do with drugs.........

Sober has to do with "Why cant we be sober?", not "Hey man, lets smoke some weed"

die eier von satan is a cookie recipe in german......

and undertow has nothing to do with drugs.....

the pot, which has a drug name, isnt even about pot.....

and i havent refused that tool hasnt had drug reference in their songs, i just said no tool song is straight up about a acid trip, or being high on pot....

Tool is a drug band, not their music, but the band itself.....trust me, if i was a ignorant fuck who believed drugs didnt inspire people, than why would i be listening to pink floyd......

[smeefsmeef]

If I got an ink blotter right on top of me, I may see E.T. as well... if it got my vision blurry enough and the ink had poisoned me... if I swallowed some ink, even... I mean, c'mon...give the guy a break man (even though his avatar tends to invoke feelings of pissed-off-ness.)

stupid people have no respect for opinions. In my opinion, stupid people who have no respect for opinions suck. Opinions suck... especially this one.

there may contradiction in his post, but he has a bit of a fucking point, he does not need valium, or any sedatives, so pull your heads out your asses, and stop gang-flaming one person.

[DON IOTAE]

gang flaming... lolz

why is everyone here giving each other shit?

i thought people were entitled to their own opinions?


just because opinions are different does not mean they are wrong...

Totally agree. Anyone ever thought that the songs are all polysemic and can be read any way you want?

I don't think Maynard would want anyone to conform to any one individual person's beliefs or values so why would he force his on us? Maybe... just maybe he leaves the songs open for interpretation on purpose.

Are you sure you read what that guy said? Denying that "blotter" refers to acid despite several other blatant references to acid in the song, and also the fact that it just clearly fucking does? I think he had some good points with some of the other stuff he posted, but come on, with the first thing he's just flat out wrong, no opinion's necessary.

[Dark Globe]

Honestly, he could have made it sound like its about acid, but could of meant a whole diffrent thing.....maynard does that shit alot

[jonboy]
