But no. We don't. The humans would rather cut it in two and have 2 lesser things. Then they cut those 2 things in two. Sponsor on May 26, Link. I thought the exact same thing.. And the pieces on the ground is the perfect example. Humans have an enormous planet and they fight and kill each over ridiculously small pieces of land. Humans would rather split the land and have half only for them than sharing a bigger piece with someone else.

Absurd menano on January 17, General Comment Before reading this, know that every comment on here is based upon opinion. Unless MJK actually got on here and explained what goes on in his mind none of us is right. Angels on the sideline - Angels are sent here on earth to be our protectors and do help us along the path of righteousness.

They sit there watching over us until they are called upon to do God's bidding. This is what they are thinking: They are puzzled because "Father" God gave his children "humans" the right to choose what to do. They are amused because they are wondering what we will do with this newly given right.

They humans dont actually know what to do with it yet because they just have recieved it. I think this is also referring to the Garden of Eden where Adam and Eve were made, and, therefore, humanity was created. God makes no mistakes so He has given them all they could ever want. But despite that fact, the greed in all of us comes out when we don't choose to do the right thing what is correct in God's eyes.

He now blesses humans with reason. He gives them the power to decide what to do, making us above every other living thing placed on this earth. The angels are baffled and confused because they are reaching this rediculous idea of fighting and killing each other over peices of land because of greed.

The angels are still confused at the fact that when God gives humans working hands, they create weapons to cause pain and suffering to other humans over stupid things.

Now from a more deeper and meaninful experience, Maynard obviously wants us to dig deeper into his lyris and find more meaning to his songs. I will attempt to make a stab at it, and probably fail miserably God places things here on earth for our pleasure and to pass the time until he welcomes us into the gates of heaven. Now, part of the deal is that we have to accept him as our creator, and as our father, and spread his teachings and wisdom with the world.

These material things that he gives us wasn't meant to make us jealous and want us to fight over them, but to use them as intended: live with what you have to have and give up what you don't need for God. We have to learn to live with each other and not fight over things that matter but rather, embrace one another with love and respect because we all have something in common.

We are all striving to make it into heaven and it can be easier to do that in unity with one another rather than fighting all the time over things that have no true value. Peace throughout the world is the greatest goal for the human race, and until every single person living on earth right now agrees and follows that, we will always have fighting and war. Damn what a long post sorry about that I just had to get that out of my system.

Hope someone agrees with me, if you don't, argue in a civilized manner and I'll respect you. Otherwise, dont say anything because all you"ll be doing is making yourself look like an idiot.

UnImaginableMeanings on August 14, Link. That's exactely like in the matrix btw- The first matrix fails because humans don't accept the blissfull matrix without being given a choice- so they invent a version with misery and suffery because it's what humans long for- or what helps lessening the urge to attain a state of perfection beyond what already is a blissfull existence.

So it's the same religious thing in the eyes of the Wachowskis really UnImaginableMeanings This seems like a very verbatim and simple translation of the lyrical content, something I would hope most Tool fans could arrive at on their own. Plus, I lost you at "more deeper.

General Comment I know this is obnoxiously long There could be many different interpretations of this song. In my opinion, this song is about war, hatred and selfishness in general.

I believe the over-all message of this song is that there is a lot of pointless fighting and hatred going on for no reason. Possessions such as land could much more easily be shared rather than taking lives over them. Father blessed them all with reason, and this is what they choose? But instead of coming up with solutions, we choose unnecessary fighting and hatred. Also, as humans, we tend to take what we need, if not more, and whatever we want, usually without giving any regard to who we may be taking from.

Some of the words used in the rhyme scheme of this song are: confused, choose, ground and down. I wonder how many people will actually read this Just watched a video of this song on youtube to see a live version, didn't even finished it yet. Scrolling through the related videos section i see a Ying-Yang picture of a someone don't know whom's editings with Tool's song. Occurred to me that [after reading all your comments- and i mean all] - occurred that no one thought of metaphisics.

Nietzsche's metaphisic dennies the existence of both evil and good [commonly said]. Maybe the blade forged by the silly monkeys is just a metaphore of the fact that since forever mankind did only divided the things in good things and bad things, war being an example where you are provided with good and evil sides, etc. Think of the Ying-Yang sign, two halfs that actually have a higher meaning when combined not when highlighted one by the other.

Anyways, just wanted to share it, maybe someone will analyze it further or maybe someone will answer expanding the idea. Not a big deal actually, but the song is deffenetly NOT straight forward and deffenetly NOT about mere human condition - war wise.

Its more than beats the eye, more like MJK said with the whole "third eye" waking. And yes, Cadventurer's thoughts are quite on the right track. Think about music that combines lyrics and sound to converge to the same idea. That's why I allways thought Pink Floyd is best represented nowadays by Tool.

Just my 2 cents. YourPossiblePast on October 13, Personally, I believe this is way more basic in delivery, then in meaning. However, Primates tend to live in groups, sharing what is overabundant. The combination will lead to us fighting over everything, until there is literally nothing left to fight over on this planet.

With "Angels on the sideline again; Been so long with patience and reason; Angels on the sideline again; Wondering when this tug of war will end. Since, Angels are not allowed to interfere with free will and would interrupt our idea of reason. Song Meaning The Angels are interpreting how they see humans. The first stanza shows the Angels amusement when God first grants the humans with freewill. The Angels seem to think that the behavior of the Humans is a big joke at first.

After all, the Angels also have been granted freewill and they have managed to live in harmony. The Angels have past God's test. Humans were given gifts, such as freewill and thumbs in attempt to make them "Different" from other animals. This was another one of God's test.

Yet, even with these gifts, they still act like animals.
