So there is a really funny version of this song live where Maynard throws a fan into a rear naked choke ( he’s a BJJ black belt) when the fan comes on stage and gets to close to Maynard’s personal space…. And he keeps singing the whole time and dosnt miss a note lol
In one word... Abuse... the gap is disassociation. The quiet "pleasant" section is going to the "happy place" internally to avoid the reality of your abuse Coming out of that section toward the ending is finally working yourself up to violently resist The final lines bring it all together you have tried to make it better, to avoid, to appease none of that worked. "it will end no other way" There's no love in fear - this is the rallying cry, what allows you to push for change. Yeah, I'm staring down the hole again Hands are on my back again Survival is my only friend Terrified of what may come, yeah - You see it coming again. Remember I'll always love you As I claw your fucking throat away It will end no other way It will end no other way - I can picture fighting with tears in your eyes. A mix of fear, sadness. and anger.
Jimmy and Pushit are both about child archetypes. Jimmy is more of trying to figure out how the inner child got hurt, hopeful it can heal. Pushit is some much darker. It's pretty much about trying to survive the self abuse from the wounded inner child.
Yo Dustin! Yeah, Pushit gets into it. Deserves multiple relistens. Like others, I go with the toxic relationship. In Undertow the theme was about mostly about drugs destroying oneself, in Aenima they've moved on to people killing you... Broadly speaking. The crescendo at the end needs a restraining order. You can hit Cesaro and Ions interludes on your own. Buckle up for Ænema & Third Eye.
I agree with this. I think they are great for the whole album experience. Take some and just listen to the whole thing. Then the interludes break up and frame the flow it a way that is well crafted.
Their sets are typically no more than 2 hours long now a days………..and that’s all you get. Leave them wanting more?….yes please. These dudes know what they’re doing ✌️
@@Kale-gn2ix Think whatever you want.. I’m so done explaining the TOOL art, go back and have a listen my first reactions, all lined up in a nice little playlist for you. So F’ing done explaining this to you trolls
Yeah, he’s heard Tool before dipsh!t! 15 songs prior to this one! The playlist has a nice pretty pink bow on it for you! Why not go check it out, or you could just stay here like a whiny ass bish and keep Daddy algo happy 😂 L!
Oooooo this is such a great song about just a toxic relationship 🔥🔥🔥 Maynard uses his voice as an equal instrument so it sits in the back of the mix. Obviously it goes forward when he emphasizes or screams. You should check out the live version. It's God tier.
