"Repugnant is a creature who would squander the ability
To lift an eye to heaven, conscious of his fleeting time here"

Come on. That is pure poetry.

I love how Val immediately closes her eyes. She gets it for sure!

I first heard this song while listening to my MP3 player while sitting in a HMMWV in Baghdad.

The irony wasn't lost on me.

[Gideonite]

This song is so hard to pause after Danny’s breakdown into that climax! One of their best crescendos!

[samthompson]

One of the best lines ever in a song….
Repugnant is the creature who would squander the ability to lift an eye to heaven conscious of his fleeting time here….

[benchambers]

Best lyrics from this song hands down are:
"Repugnant is the creature that would squander the ability to lift an eye to heaven, conscious of its fleeting time here."

Top 5 Tool songs for me. So glad you picked this to react to

10:34 what a lovely observation about the drumming. I never stopped to consider that, that as rich and "extra" his drumming naturally is, it _never_ steps on anybody else. And that you can take that same concept and comfortably apply it to Adam and Justin as well - this band all have exceptional threads that you can follow exclusively in the song, and each is just as lush and curious and compelling as Danny or Maynard's contributions. All of them brilliantly composed and placed in service of the song. Really great observation, Val!

I always took the middle instrumental section to be a progression of war from tribal/primitive time through various technological advances (each new guitar tone) as it ramps up and the super busy part toward the end being something like Star Wars. The riff that is modified and repeated follows the clock of the war drum and is the constant trumpeting to arms, occasionally being more intense between the separate but relentless "war periods". And then returning to simple and tribal at the end, knocked ourselves back to the stone age or maybe worse faded into the entropy of the universe with only echoes remaining.

Or I made all that up, who knows. Dissecting Tool is like that.

[Racy_michael]

Great review, love your comments on this great band

[juicesghost]

When you stopped before the end i yelled at my computer. Glad you let it finish, the end is so satisfying.

It’s actually quite baffling that as a human species, we are essentially advanced territorial apes with nuclear weapons. It’s been a crazy ride so far. Let’s see how far we can run this thing into the ground be for there is another reset.

[tonysoto]

There is a video with stop motion depicting the angels watching mankind as it’s created up until the end where a more advanced civilization is at war with each other. This song is amazing and the video helps explain what the angels are thinking as the song progresses.

[cambranson]

Know what, I completely agree with you about Danny Carey. He's an integral creative part of the group. Awesome 😍

Tool is very into occult and esoteric traditions as well. The Cut it Right In Two is also referring to the "primordial scission", which is essentially Pythagorean mysticism, which of course was in turn concepts and knowledge borrowed from ancient Egypt
