I love this song, my favorite so far. It seems like a direct response to all the Tool freaks that dissect everything Maynard says a million times over.

He is also voicing his struggle with being chosen to guide many who take Tool as a religion. He realizes that on some level he has a lot of responsibility due to the fact that many will be influenced by his words... so this song is almost an attempt to tell everyone that "hey, I don't know everything, I didn't even graduate high school, stop looking to me for guidance."

Essentially: think for yourself.

Thoughts?
