Though "Stinkfist" concerns drug abuse and sexual fetish while "4 Degrees" concerns religion.

"This brings us closer than DYING, and CANCER and CRYING." You really think that line is somehow associated with anal sex? The song is disguised in that metaphor... that's all.
There is usually one line in a Tool song that sheds the most light, or gives you the best clue regarding the real meaning... the perspective it's written from and the line "This brings us closer than DYING, and CANCER and CRYING" is the biggest hint in this song.
as for Stinkfist..
Stinkfist is about how people are desensitized to everything... very closely related to Vicarious' message. Basically that it takes Tragedy (Vicarious)... or getting FISTFUCKED for Stinkfist... to garner our attention these days.
