Euology tool

We wish you well You told us how you weren't afraid to die Well then, so long Don't cry. They are sending him off with a "eulogy", but he is not dead. The group "We" is wishing a the eulogized "you" well. The martyrdom the speaker refers to seems to be how the eulogized must have spoken of and attempted to represent some ideal, the "divinity", but couldn't actually realize or perhaps even follow this ideal the martyr that fails to see divinity.

The person seemed persuasive and showed conviction, but in the end, the eulogized only pointed fingers, in essence, blaming and finding fault, but not with himself. Again the refrain of "we'll miss him", maybe they will miss his theatrics, but the sarcasm is fully there. The speaker points out the negative of the eulogized, and follows with "we'll miss him".

This points to the speaker's ultimate disillusionment of the eulogized. The speaker believed what the target had to say, because he was under sway of the eulogized person's charisma. He was a voice above the crowd, he stood out. The speaker was eager to identify, as he had similar feelings. It could even be assumed that the eulogized person tapped into the speaker's and others' feelings and sentiments, focused their dissatisfaction, and intimated that he "would die for me".

In other words, this eulogized person, by speaking to and for the crowd, persuaded them that he felt as they did, that he was a part of them, and that he would make sacrifices for them.

This, of course, was a lie. A facade is a false face. By saying "don't step out of line" and "don't lie", this has already been done. The eulogized DID step out of line with what he said.

He did lie. Why then are you so surprised when you hear your own eulogy? The speaker is telling the eulogized that he is dead to the group now, the sacrifice is his role in the group.

But the eulogized man is surprised by this. This was not intended, even though he kept claiming that he was a part of them, and that he would "die" for them, make whatever sacrifice. He never intended to make any sacrifice.

A metaphor that people are tired of hearing the martyr attitude, the woe-is-me. Perhaps here, the nailing of the martyr to the cross was forcing the eulogized person to publicly suffer for the group, some sort of calling out or shaming, and now get the hell out of here. You're dead to us. You must be crucified For our sins and our lies Goodbye One could make the case that the speaker is subtly angry at himself and the group as well.

He makes mention how he wanted to believe, how the group will miss the eulogized perhaps missing a martyr, as they need that , and does make mention "for our sins and our lies". Still, he may be saying that last line as a way of throwing it back into the eulogized man's face. So to recap.

The eulogy is for a living man, a man who could hear his own eulogy. A eulogy is supposed to be about the deceased person's merits, but this is about a non-deceased person's ultimate failings. The "goodbye" is the group forcibly sending someone off and away from them. JohnnyApocalypse on January 21, Link. Screw the edits..

And after reading thru 17 pages of them, this is without a doubt the best! Well done. Good good, but read between the lines. JohnnyApocalypse Finally something of substance. Thanks for the in-depth analysis. This asshole certainly doesn't sound like a Bernie ;D. I view Trump finally being ostracized by his own people when I listen to this song. Can't wait to see how ends! Bajinganlangit on February 01, JohnnyApocalypse very nice "translated" but when i hear that song, it makes me think about my dad that died almost 3 years ago General Comment This song isn't about religion.

It uses religion as a metaphor to get the information across. This song refers to someone who thinks they are better than everyone else. It emphasizes the trust that people take in others or the lack of it. Tool is not a religous band. By this I mean they don't promote their beliefs to try and persuade others to think the same.

They want everyone to be their own person and not conform to the "usual" because that's the way it was done in the past. I have a question for you.

I like the response about what everyone has said about tool, and this song. I love tool I love a lot of his songs even the one from a perfect circle Judith. I don't mean to bask anyone on what they say about the song I just have that one question is all. CstrifeH on February 27, You make a valid point. I feel a bit shallow for getting it wrong all this time. I always felt like something wasn't fitting right but I guess it was me growing to understand the "message". CstrifeH to help you with why Maynard named his other band Crucify I will need to quot him.

I read an interview with him about his different bands and if I can recall it correctly he said something in the line of the different bands being his ego and soul his true being meeting, or just one or the other. CstrifeH the band's name is Puscifer Yes you are correct.

This song is not about Jesus or GOD it has nothing to do with religion. Maynard is talking about killing your ego. Will you now? Would you die for me? Don't you fuckin lie. Don't you step out of line. You've claimed all this time that you would die for me. Why then are you so surprised to hear your own eulogy?

You had alot to say. You had alot of nothing to say. Come down. Get off your fuckin cross. We need the fuckin space to nail the next fool martyr. To ascend you must die.

You must be crucified For your sins and your lies. Tool Lyrics provided by SongLyrics. Note: When you embed the widget in your site, it will match your site's styles CSS. This is just a preview!
