Lost keys (Blame Hoffman) What do they mean to you?

So basically this song to me means this guy is tripping balls, winds up in a hospital and has lost his keys... the keys to me represent communication, and his failure to describe whats happening to him. It ties into the next song of the album rosetta stoned. .. . .. .
So in this song he tries to describe his psychedelic experience, but falls short in describing the magnitude of it all, as he SHITS THE BED over and over again. Its set up cleverly so you actually think he's in the hospital shitting the bed, but I think he means he's messed up or dropped the ball again telling the story. The Rosetta stone was an ancient stone found in Egypt containing the secret to decoding Egyptian Heiroglyphs, which is also important to the song. These lyrics to me represent what is often encountered when taking psychedelics, which is an indescribable, ineffable experience which words cannot seem to encompass. These lyrics to me are amazing and is one of the reasons why Tool is one of the best bands of our time IMO. Let me know what this song means to you, as I am by no means right. This just represents what it means to me... Sun Kissed and Sudafed

Psychedelics, very possibly. . but of course TOOL songs are always a trifecta of meaning.
Next, I think the entire story emulates the idea of taking the word of celebrities/musicians/preachers/politicians/just about anybody too seriously.. The fact that a 'man' in 'power' can keep you clinging to the very last word and then never really reveal anything. . . The ultimate cat and mouse, if you will. . .
Finally, in the trifecta of course, is whatever you interpret their music as personally. It's all meant to mean whatever it needs to mean to the individual.

We pretty much have the same interpretation of the songs. I love listening to this song (Rosetta Stoned) sober or under the influence of anything. While sober it always brings back those psychedelic feelings and how hard it is to describe in words, yet so familiar and recognizable when you feel it through the music.
Fuck yea! Tool is my favorite band.

Rosetta Stoned is such a terrible song. It's so damn corny.
It is everything about Maynard that makes me want to 
Not that Tool isn't great, 10k days just didn't rub me the right way, that song especially.
It's obviously about drugs though.

I don't get it. . .10,000 is the most complex album yet.. not just musically, but lyrically as well.. the dedication behind the lyrics, music, and song as a whole is just as wholehearted as any of their other works. . a band that remains the same progresses nowhere. . if you go through every album, in order of release, the change from album to album is enormous.. this is nothing more than the band progressing the way that they see fit; going where they feel they need to.. everything about the album was fucking phenomenal..

It just doesn't have the right vibe for me. It doesn't come together perfectly the way Lateralus does. It feels kind of wrong somehow.
Lateralus is near perfect. That's an album for you.
Probably their peak.

To each their own.. I think every album has it's own 'feeling' or 'vibe' to bring to the table. The comparison between any albums are like apples and oranges..

lateralus was a failed attempt at a wake up call
awesome album though. feeds the primitive anger as well as audio gold.
i love every tool album though. 10,000 days is probably my favorite album most days, but sometimes the others just feel right

Cool analysis man... never thougt about it that way.. I appreciate everyones opinion thats why I made this post. And about seeking meaning in there music I clearly stated that its personal the way you take meaning. I never said my thoughts were the way it has to be... just wanted to make that clear.

Well then there really is no need for you to be here, is there? You should try reading and understanding some of the lyrics.. if not your missing a big part of what TOOL is all about. You could've just said cool song.

I love evry one of there albums.. to me lateralus is on the bottom of the list, while Aenema would be at the top, That is if i was going to rank them. But every CD brings something to the table and is a masterpiece, in my opinion. 10,000 days is epic and I am anxiously awaiting their next album.. They're in the studio recording right now probably.  Thanks again for the replies, but please if you are here to bash Tool, these songs, or 10,000 days just go find another post to read... I want input on your meaning to these songs.

At the start of Rosetta Stoned He says X, Yogi DMT. Later on in the song he says The blotter got right on top of me. Must be the Deadhead Chemistry. Reffering to acid no doubt. Words are very interesting to me and to find meaning in them is our very essence of communication. Im not over analyzing, it's a bad ass song and I fucking love these lyrics.

I have spent hours. HOURS listening to this song picking it apart and analyzing and I have come up with my own personal meeting, and I never actually ran into anyone else who thinks the same way. But I love Tool, and have spent a great deal of time doing this with all their songs. But I think the songs about religion, and obviously psychedelics. I get critical with the lyrics...
Quote:
All righty then. Picture this if you will. 10 to 2 AM, X, Yogi DMT, and a box of Krispy Kremes, in my need-to-know post just outside Area 51 Contemplating the whole chosen people thingy when just then a flaming stealth banana split the sky like one would hope but never really expect to see in a place like this Cutting right angle doughnuts on a dime and stopping right at my Birkenstocks and me yelping... HOLY FUCKING SHIT Holy fucking shit Fucking shit Holy fucking shit Holy fucking shit Holy fucking shit...fucking shit...fucking shit
Then the X-Files being, looking like some kinda blue-green Jackie Chan With Isabella Rossellini lips and breath that reeked of vanilla chig champa Did a slow-mo Matrix decent outta the butt end of the banana vessel and hovered above my bug-eyes, My gaping jaw, And my sweaty L. Ron Hubbard upper lip, And all I could think was, I hope Uncle Martin here doesn't notice That I pissed my fucking pants.
So light in his way Like an apparition, He had me crying out, Fuck me! It's gotta be the Deadhead chemistry! The blotter got right on top of me Got me seeing E motherfucking T!
And after calming me down with some orange slices and some fetal spooning E.T. revealed to me his singular purpose, He said you are the chosen one. The one who will deliver the message. A message of hope for those who choose to hear it And a warning for those who do not. Me, the chosen one They chose me And I didn't graduate from fucking high school!
You had better You had better You had better You had better listen
Then he looked right through me With somniferous almond eyes Don't even know what that means Must remember to write it down, This is so real Like the time Dave floated away See my heart is pounding 'Cause this shit never happens to me!
Can't breathe right now
It was so real Like I woke up in Wonderland Also a bit terrifying I don't wanna be all alone When I tell this story And can anyone tell me why ya'll sound like Peanuts parents Will I ever be coming down? This is so real Finally it's my lucky day See my heart is racing 'Cause this shit never happens to me
I can't breathe right now
You believe me don't you Please believe what I just said See the dead ain't tourin' And this wasn't all in my head. See they took me by the hand And invited me right in Then they showed me something I don't even know where to begin
Strapped down to my bed Feet cold and eyes red I'm out of my head Am I alive am I dead Can't remember what they said God damn shit the bed High eye (repeated)
I believe you (repeated, heard faintly in background)
Overwhelmed as one would be Placed in my position Such a heavy burden now to be the one Born to bear and bring to all The details of our ending To write it down for all the world to see. But I forgot my pen Shit the bed again Typical.
Strapped down to my bed Feet cold and eyes red I'm out of my head Am I alive am I dead? Sunkist and sudafed Gyroscopes and infrared Won't help the brain-dead Can't remember what they said God damn shit the bed IIIIIII can't remember what they said to me Can't remember what they said to make me out to be a hero Can't remember what he said
Bob help me! Can't remember what he said
Don't know, won't know (repeated) God damn shit the bed!
(Posted to make it easier to understand my post) But ok lets looky hurr...
It starts off mention his cocktail...
Quote:

He also is on acid (this is mentioned later in the song... with the lyrics "It's gotta be the deadhead chemistry [this obviously means acid people.. I've heard people say that this supports that he was at a Dead concert. No. Its a metaphor for LSD.])
But yeah, hes on a lot of psychedelics outside Area 51 and then the UFO appears and the aliens come.
Quote:

A message of hope for those who choose to hear it And a warning for those who do not. Me, the chosen one They chose me And I didn't graduate from fucking high school!
This is an important part of the song. The aliens tell this man that he is the chosen one, and he must deliver this message to mankind. Like most religious stories, an average person (or below average... he didn't graduate high school) gets chosen by otherworldly beings (angels in this case aliens) to deliver some sort of message.
Than he talks to the doctor about how this was real. It wasn't the drugs. The doctor doesn't believe him...
Quote:
You believe me don't you Please believe what I just said See the dead ain't tourin' [some people think hes at a dead concert.. I don't know why maybe this line?] [[I see this line as a metaphor to show he's saying hes not crazy]] And this wasn't all in my head. See they took me by the hand And invited me right in Then they showed me something I don't even know where to begin
Then the next really important part...
Quote:

This directly shows it. The aliens (god) chose him to deliver this message to all of humanity (similar to a Jesus or similar type figure). But he doesn't remember the message, and it is not written down anywhere to give it more proof (like the Bible is written down... or another religious text the line "But I forgot my pen" is blatantly obviously a metaphor for this as well.
Thats my personal explanation, but I can't really explain it well in text and I am also pressed for time right now (gotta leave the house real soon) but you get the general idea of what I'm trying to say I hope.
ALSO before people call me crazy for looking to deep into it, I think this is what makes Tool so good. Not just because the songs sound good, but because they are deep. I'm sure you guys have heard about the Fibonacci in Lateralus? That shit is cool as hell. Every song has its own meaning for each person and its awesome. Call me crazy I don't give a fuck.

Shoplist: new sheets! Awesome thread man. Interesting idea. I definitely can see how you came to that conclusion. People are just idiots, and don't understand that the music is supposed to make you think. It is a vessel, just like all forms of music. This brings up another point... Why are people scared to think. I think most people are just scared of everyone else's opinion of a certain idea so they hide behind ignorance. A defense mechanism if you will. I appreciate the analysis, good look man.

Also at the start of the song Maynard's voice is all sorts of distorted and u cant really understand him... as the song goes on you begin to understand him more and more as the song builds up. Just like the ups and downs of a trip. 
And another thing, Who the hell is Isabella Rosellini?

Lateralus is near perfect. That's an album for you.
Probably their peak.
I think Lateralus is about half fantastic and half boring. As the years have passed since it's release I would rate it last in the order I prefer. It's still good though, it's just I got burnt out on it and don't go back to it often.
10,000 Days is pretty solid though (except for Intension), I haven't gotten sick of it yet.
In my opinion they haven't topped Ænima yet.

Amen bro! And R.I.P Bill Hicks! And Terence Mckenna! And while were at it, Albert Hoffman!
Aenima's songs flow so timelessly together, it's just amazing. Trippy album, and I really loved the art and dedication to one of the best comedian/philosophers of all time.
I actually got into Tool originally because I was a Hick's fan. For most people I know its the other way around.

Undertow and Aenima are both great.
But they lack that uniting theme of oneness and seeking knowledge and power that Lateralus has.

No, let's not, because Rosetta Stoned is really a horrible song.
But I will admit I haven't given 10k days much of a fair shake, I should give it another try.

I only have two keys. One is to the front shop and one is to the back shop. I don't even have a key to the house I live at.
Keys mean work.

someone is
why post in a thread about a song you don't like?
just to be a bummer on the people who do?

The thread asked what it means to me.
And I've said what it means to me.
What is the point of a discussion without contrast?

It is everything about Maynard that makes me want to 
Not that Tool isn't great, 10k days just didn't rub me the right way, that song especially.
It's obviously about drugs though.
I explained the meaning of the song in my very first post in this thread.
Does it really need more picking apart than that? It's about doing psychedelics.

Lateralus is near perfect. That's an album for you.
Probably their peak.
lateralus was a failed attempt at a wake up call
awesome album though. feeds the primitive anger as well as audio gold.
i love every tool album though. 10,000 days is probably my favorite album most days, but sometimes the others just feel right
I am sorry it failed for you.
I think it did wonders for Maynard and I, though.

Oh, also, I somewhat agree with the meanings being multi-layered, and touch on accepting authority...
... I also think that this song represents the "other path"... the opposite of which is found in "Third Eye."
