Tool anaema

Not more possessions, that's "a big neon distraction".. By living by the ego, you're missing out on a big part of what it means to be human.

You're searching for fulfillment in the wrong place.. This song is very much like Vicarious. Lyrics I think are basically saying the same thing about the nature of human nature although in different tones.

In this song one is negative, in Vicarious one is excited. Cool interpretation! TheGuyNamedGuy you are absolutely right, he is saying "dont just call me Nephilim" which has a very deep meaning and makes so much more sense than "pessimist". He would go way deeper than that. General Comment The 'learn to swim' part is a message for all Californians because maynards praying for it to sink into the ocean I agree MilkLizard on December 06, I never noticed that part of the CD until you pointed it out.

It's pretty great. General Comment Hey everyone! I just gotta say, by lookin past the surface of this song, or at least by tryin too, I get a lot more out of it. It goes past bein angry at how fake and superficial people and LA are. The word AEenma is a mixture of the word Enema, which is clearing of the bowels with fluid, and the word Anima, which is, in Jungian theory, the true inner subconscious self.

It seems to me that this song is about clearing away those attachments to stupid useless shit that we don't need, and getting back to nature. He makes multiple references to mom, which is probably Mother Nature. Its about getting back to our true inner selves, uncovering what's hidden in our subconcious, and clearing away all of the shit, and learning how to swim.

My friends and I have done Extensive research and thought about this song. Enjoy enlightenment! I like the idea about mom being "Mother Nature" but I think it may just be Maynard's reflection on what society has become. It goes back to the whole "who would win in a fight: an astronaut or a caveman? Many Americans often become isolated from the real world by their riches and end up in a kind of bubble shielding them from the real world's problems.

As a result, they start to care less about serious problems and care much more about insignificant, childish things, i. We begin to forget about the real problems "Fuck your short memory". By saying that "Mom's coming around to put it back the way it ought to be", he is calling us all children who can't deal with our own problems and who need a true adult to solve them for us.
