Tool videos are very artistically done, much like Pink Floyd's The Wall. There is a lot of symbolic imagrey going on there. For example, if you watch the video for Prison Sex, you will notice a number of artistic references to rape (the missing vaginas on the dolls, the twisted phallus, the crumbling dolls, dust, feeling dirty, simulated sex with the eyeless skull, etc.). That's one of the things that really draws me to Tool. I love bands that write music with a deeper meaning. Musicians (and I do not use the term lightly) like Tool, Tori Amos, Pink Floyd, and Nine Inch Nails are very similar in that respect. They aren't just randomly writing, they're writing about the deep, dark things that any 'normal' human would shy away from. Their work is poetry because poetry is raw emotion, unfiltered. And they present it so well.

There was a time that the pieces fit, but I watched them fall away.
Mildewed and smoldering, strangled by our coveting
I've done the math enough to know the dangers of our second guessing
Doomed to crumble unless we grow, and strengthen our communication.

What does this mean to you guys? Think on it. I mean, really think on it.
