It's a song called Kinderfeld off of Manson's Antichrist Superstar album. It is a really interesting and enjoyable song.

Re: People... come on...

Not a problem. I think that Manson's message is given too little credit by people because they deem him to be solely shock value. He has a lot of good things and interesting things to say.

Re: People... come on...

Yeah, he really does. With the new album, there's alot of messages that can be derived from his songs, and l like his new album alot. l think just with all of the hype of the media, he's deemed to be some freak who doesn't have a point. That's bullshit.

Sorry for not noticing, I totally forgot about this thread; guess I don't visit the Albums section enough, obviously...

Although I am going to have to sort of revise my interpretation given what Sandoz just posted in "Sigh... if you READ the FAQ"

Censorship and stereotyping is a bitch. Just like what that A P E X Toolfan idiot did in the Anti-Tool Web Page thread on "Third Eye." Oh well, we all stereotype. I am no exception, and I will not claim to be. I just wish that people wouldn't allow media to control them so much. People meaning everyone.

We don't have the right to judge, but we feel justified because people judge us. It is quite the vicious cycle unfortunately. Oh well, have to live with it I suppose.

This proves to me that we will never be able to escape the parts of us that we don't like. Our alter-ego, our "shadow." Well, we'll see what happens in the future I suppose.

Re: People... come on...

Through meditation and unlocking parts in your brain...and through listening to TOOL, we could very well someday rid ourselves of it.

No, we don't use enough of our brain, and we cannot unlock that much of our brain. There is so much of our brain that we don't use, it is amazing. There is too much of our brain that we don't come close to understanding, we can't just meditate and listen to music (no matter how enlightening the music may be) "break on through." I personally don't think that we will "ascend" our present state. It would have to be done in enough people for it to work out, but not enough people either care enough, or even think about that at all.

Re: People... come on...

You're wrong...you CAN unlock it, if you believe you can. lt's not just about the music...it's about the spiral.

Re: People... come on...

actually Galapogos, you are wrong. the idea that we use 8% of our brain or whatever is completly wrong. psychologist have found that we do basicly use all of our brain. the bodey through evolution does not learn to use more, we dissregard what we don't need and develop new things. so you can cut out any hope of unlcoking your dormat areas of your brain. though i have heard some stuff abotu glands, such as the pineal...

but anyway, end conclusion, we use basicly all of our brain. if that was not true, i would be meditating right now trying to unlock the spelling section of my brain...

Re: People... come on...

You have to unlock secrets. They don't just come to you. Even if they do come to you, you won't know it until you feel it.

Re: People... come on...

yeah, i feel where you're coming from.

personally, i never bothered putting that much thought into the track.

i got to say, though- it makes does a great job making the transition from H to 46&2...they way it builds up , getting louder and louder...

anyway. maybe the track was just thrown on there at the last minute- for some reason that sounded good at the moment to maynard and the guys....maybe we are putting WAY more thought into in than they ever did.

not like there is anything wrong with that.

Maybe it just shows Tool's growth over the years?
Don't get me wrong though, I love Tool more than I love my mom. (Sad, huh?)
actually lateralus had the patient {which i think is mocking religious people} the grudge

Re: People... come on...

of course you are, that is very lack of mind. I am to much for you to comprehend, and so is tool's songs. Do myself a favor, make your self into a skewered dinner roast for someone as a present.
