This sounds like a parody of everyone who claims "OMFG THIS IS THE REAL MEANING BEHIND THIS SONG BECAUSE GUESS WHAT MAYNARD SAID BEFORE THEY PLAYED IT."

Agreed. He does that shit on purpose, ***.

I think Maynard just says that to be funny. I think its about finding yourself and trying harder to excel in life...maybe not but thats just me. Maybe it is about anal sex? TOOL only knows...
i always gave this song a xenophobic perspective... picturing somebody you barely even know wander into your personal life/space and invading, and a retalitory response becomes of requisite.
i don't remember where I heard it, but I always thought the song was about moshpits. He'd rather people could just enjoy the music and delve into it, rather than beat the shit out of eachother. "This bog is thick and easy to get lost in, cause you're a dumbass, belligerent fucker"
Well - there you go. I always thought it was about George Bush (BOTH!) but I could be wrong. I say it to students occasionally - omitting the "fucker" of course.

I'm glad that you could "hear" my post, if it "sounds" like something.
Listen ... do you smell somehing?
Anywho ... I remember one time I saw Tool and Maynard said, "That song was called 'Low Fiber Diet,' and the song before that was' Low FIBER diet.' The song before that one was LOW fiber diet. He emphasized the capital letters. Genius.
Maynard also said that one night he took Morrissey into his dressing room and fucked him in the ass all night, and that's what 4º is about. That guy has stories for days.

haha, maynard's awesome. A few years ago when i was just getting into TOOL..it was about 11pm and i walked outside for a moment and this car came roaring down my street blasting 'swamp song' and it was on the "beligerant fucker!" part, and i thought that was fuckin awesome.

I found the interconnections between each and every Tool song now. "Grudge" is about letting go of your anger for that dude or gal taking that parking spot. I'm going to clutch that parking spot like a cornerstone. AND YOU WILL COME TO FIND, THAT WE ALL HAVE ONE PARKING SPOT!
