People, Kabir posted it in his review.

It's:

CUTTIN' OUR LOVE RIGHT IN TWO.

I've listened to it a hundred times, it's right, it's just spoken a bit differently. Maynard has a tendancy to do that sometimes, in Tool and in APC. He sorta accents the "o" in "love", maling it sound more like "love", that "luv".

Hmmm?

my thoughts... We are creatures with a divine heritage, we are not just flesh bags walking the earth in search of things to consume and shit out. Why live wrapped up in issues, anger, hatred, jealousy, when heaven lays within you...experience your life as heaven and enjoy it, life on earth is mortal.

This song is absolutely brilliant, i hope we can all agree on the lyrics soon enough, but even understanding bits and pieces of it, that song is still the best on the record and also makes me cry like a bitch

Refute as you will."

The angels described are not baffled and confused in the sense you mean it. You seem to imply they are confused in some 'general' way. But, quite rationally, they are merely confused by us humans, because our ways are so insane and incomprehensible. How and why do we live like this? This is what the angels cannot work out. But the entire point of this song is conveyed precisely because the angels are able to see this madness for what is is. They are the rational voice of the song.
I think the song has nothing to do with religion. The angels are merely a useful vessel to get the idea across. Humans are, in general, ignorant. We use our strongest assest, our intelligence, against others instead of truly trying to further the human race. Angels have the best view of what we do and therefore they are used.

And honestly, how religion has survived so misguided is a mystery to me. Is this the intended meaning or submeaning of the song? Maybe. Maybe not.

Refute as you will."

Considering Maynards past references to socialism could Cut it all right in two be a reference to revolutions? Power in history being passed down from one hand to the other but each time giving rise to new opposing sides so the splits (right in two) continue? Just a thought

I also need to make an important addition to the lyrics:

They fight, they die
Over ground, over sky
They fight
Over lie, over blood, over air
And light, and then blood, over sun
Over blood
They fight, until they die -TIMMAY!!

Okay, my last post was wrong. he uses the term "to divide right in two" earlier in the song, inlike a verse or sumthin' can't remember. and the chorus is:


GOTTA DIVIDE IT ALL RIGHT IN TWO.

Listen, that's what he says.

I think I got this part figured out.. this is what it sounds like to me:


They fight, they die
Over earth, over sky
They fight
Over lies, over blood, over air
And light, and then love, over sun
Over blood
They fight, till they die, over what? for our lies?

I'm hearing...

They fight, they die,
Over earth, over sky.
They fight
Over lie, over blood, over air
And light, and then love, over truth, over blood
They fight, till they die, over what? for our lies?

So the only thing I disagree with is the "over sun" part, I keep hearing "over truth."

Sorry if that's already been suggested but I haven't seen it anywhere.

Edit: Sorry didn't see that apparently Kabir had already confirmed it as Cuttin our love right in two. meh, I think i like mine better..it's funnier anyways. Oh well, great song.
