The Tool Page: Opinion - View Single Post - the meaning (not too much for argument here)

Easily the most accessible of all TOOL videos. The only explanation I've ever even heard is that the video is a direct bash on the censorship fanatics. The song is also thought to be about censorship and, well, I think even MJK would have difficulty explaining it any other way. For those who haven't seen it, it's basically the band standing fully nude, sporting only what looks like electrical tape covering their mouths. And, for censorship (and modesty) reasons, they ARE indeed covering their genetalia. So that's about it...not the greatest of their videos but the message is admirable.

On a side note, I'm aware of the rule: "Avoid one-paragraph "this song is clearly about" posts; we can all figure that out"

However..someone had to say it.
