Indeed. The skit itself is called "You Lizard Scum".

WELL, SAID MY FRIEND, I HAD TO SEARCH THE COMMENTS BEFORE I POSTED I POSTE THE SAME COMMENT, BECAUSE I KNOW THE TOOL ARMY IS OUT THERE AND THEY'RE WELL EDUCATED ON THE THEORY'S OF MAYNARD JAMES KEENANA....SORRY ABOUT THE CAPS I CAN'T GET IT TO TURN OFF, BUT GREAT COMMENT.

@@thomastaylor9579 easy on the prozac friend.

@@albertsmith99 I'm not your friend.

He's using that as a metaphor for getting rid of the stupid/silly crap that people consider important.

Same for me.. this was the first track that made say whoa. Here I am 25 yrs later

It's a Bill Hicks reference

See you down in Arizona Bay!

Yep🤣😂

More than ever

All too true

Even more so than ever, I lived in SoCal until about 6 months ago and LA has only gotten worse.

Maybe more!!

Yep. L.A. still sucks.

Was about to type out nearly this exact explanation. Yep, that's it. Not too deep, very direct. Can confirm, LA culture was bullshit back then and has only amplified to present day (I lived there, twice, in my life).

its also a play on the Jungian Animus which has the same etymological root, the Animus being the shadow or darker self we all deny in ourselves and push on others, the Animus is a sub conscious phenomena/experience. Jungian stuff is all about metaphorical rebirth so it all ties in with the theme of Aenima. In fact to wash away problem and not actually deal with the is very Animus(Anima = female, Animus = male) in Jungian stuffeveryone is a composite of both and represses both LA culture was influenced by Jung but with not many actually grasping the concepts, there is an Irony in that (similar to many westerners and Buddhism, many miss the point by a log way)

@@2Quietus LA Culture is faking the rest of every other culture. Its not any more bullshit than any other place or that place couldn't exist and operate. All the same dipshits and cultists and cars and houses exist everywhere

I agree with your assessment that it should be pronounced like "enema", but Maynard said that it's supposed to be like "anima", although with him you never know, he may have been BS'ing

I believe this and 46 and 2 are tools best songs

@@Robert1211995 For some reason I have to listen to Lateralus every damn day. Drives my wife nuts.

I still have somehow never seen them, but I did see A Perfect Circle at least. Which was, of course, amazing.

same... without the mom part

Wow I never knew this! Seems a bit too on the nose for it to be accidental. Or maybe he just wrote the song subconsciously. Either way it just goes to show that Tool had a far bigger influence of music than people ever realize. Me included lol.

Oooooooh I never put the 2 together, that was very clever.

Bunch of junkie idiots

Saw them this tour as well. What an experience!

@@gregoryrobb2604 I can't believe it took me 20+ years to finally see them and I would give anything to see them again but I'm pretty sure this may be their last tour which sucks so bad🥺At least I got to see them once, I can die happy now.

That's my conclusion as well. It makes me laugh at times...and at others it makes me cry...from what we know of the universe, causality rules...It's this idea of "I" seems to be the root of all our problems...we are forever blaming other "I's" or exalting the self as a locus of agency when we have no proof that such is the case. We are inexorably linked with nature and physics to the point where there seems no room for this egotistical idea we call "Choice". It is almost by definition supernatural. A breaking of causality to make our particular systems of atoms an molecules somehow special...Some see it as bleak and nihilistic to imagine such is the case... But, to paraphrase the words of Neuroscientist/Philosopher Sam Harris, "When you let go of free-will, it opens you to a whole world of understanding the myriad circumstances that lead us to be who we are in this very moment. You don't lose the empathy or any of the other emotions as we are still human, but you learn to not erroneously place blame on or exalt others for the outcomes of whole generations of interactions, genetics, and experiences that lead to the now. We would prevent hurricanes and animal attacks if we could, and often do in the latter case without harm to the animal. But we don't hate the hurricane that destroys the home or the bear that mauls us, for they are just doing what bears and hurricanes do. But we place this desire for vindication and vengeance on members of our own species, so we are forever prevented from truly understanding each other's circumstances, experiences, and motivations..."

@@42Mrgreenman yes, when we personalize "I" into "me" we create an ego. We forget there is only one "I am", not billions. One "I am" being expressed in infinite ways, including animals, plants, planets, everything/nothing etc...

Actually I don't think he is. The try to read between the lines part suggest to me that he doesn't really want it to happen. He's saying wake up people

@@LN-Lifer the Anemia, humans deprived of meaning, will allow the Enima to become necessary for the survival of Mother Earth. Nonone wants it, but we all see it coming. Long story short I agree 😏🤣💜

Lyrics always help with TOOL!

And washed all the holly woof filth

The Doomed grew on me. If they do it here I hope they pull up the lyrics for it

And their talking about LA
