    Lyrics:
    Here comes the water
    All I knew and all I believed
    Crumbling images
    No longer comfort me.
    Scramble to reach higher ground,
    Order and sanity,
    Something to comfort me.
    So I take what is mine, and hold what is mine
    Suffocate what is mine, and bury what's mine
    Soon the water will come
    And claim what is mine
    I must leave it behind
    And climb to a new place now
    This ground is not the rock I thought it to be
    Thought I was high, and free
    I thought I was there
    Divine destiny
    I was wrong
    This changes everything
    Running away,
    Running away,
    I'm running away,
    Running away
    I'm running away
    Running away
    I'm running away
    Running away
    I take what is mine
    Hold what is mine
    Suffocate what is mine
    Bury what's mine
    Soon the water will come
    And claim what is mine
    I must leave it behind
    And climb to a new place
    Water's rising up on me
    The water is rising up on me
    Thought the sun would come deliver me
    But the truth has come to punish me instead
    Grounds break down right under me
    Cleanse and purge me
    In the water

      I heard them play this live in a 300 seat club back in 1994. I was working the kitchen, so I didn't actually 'see' it, but the stage was 30 feet across from the kitchen doors, so it sounded f'ing amazing! But my favourite of the night was No Quarter. A rush of energy flowed from the tips of my toes to the top of my skull, and every hair on my body stood on end. Every time I've heard it since I get the same rush, bringing me right back to that night. F'ing electric! 😎

      @@keenanehrhart3707 I’d have to say Ænima is my favorite if I were to choose just one. I feel like it’s got some really catchy riffs, and the song Hooker With A Penis is actually one of my favorite songs of theirs. It’s a very underrated song and it’s one of their heaviest. I feel like Ænima is just the best well rounded album in the intensity of the vocals/instruments, and how good the song writing is. Undertow would probably be a close second though, all killer, no filler.🤘🏼

      It was more of a general comment, the audio here is indeed very good and a pretty good substitute. Still, I find the CD sound better, tighter and fuller. Perhaps my ear is conditioned after getting to know how these songs sound like from the CD in the first place.
      The thing is this is UA-cam. It is neither the canon to find such good audio in YT, nor to listen through good earphones or a proper sound system & speakers (obviously I'm not talking about expensive hi end but just decent equipment). It is more likely that people will listen from a phone.

    All I knew and all I believed
    are crumbling images
    that no longer comfort me.
    I scramble to reach higher ground
    some order and sanity
    or something to comfort me.
    So I take what is mine, and hold what is mine
    suffocate what is mine, and bury what's mine.
    Soon the water will come
    and claim what is mine.
    I must leave it behind
    and climb to a new place now.
    This ground is not the rock I thought it to be.
    Thought I was high,
    and thought I was free.
    I thought I was there
    divine destiny.
    I was wrong.
    This changes everything.
    Runnin' away I will take what is mine, hold what is mine
    Suffocate what is mine, bury what's mine
    Soon the water will come and claim what is mine
    I must leave it behind and climb to a new place, WATER'S RISING UP ON ME SAID THE WATER'S RISING UP ON ME

Ive seen them 10 + times over the years, last time about 8 years ago and swore i was done. maynard behind a sheet is missing something. but wife wants to see them. so I guess Im going to pay $500 to see them one more time. danny still dannys. best band ever. so glad i had the chance to see them so many times.

    To say this song is understated in how good it is in itself is an understatement.
    This is like your friend who likes The Downward Spiral but has really only heard Closer and Reptile while Ruiner sits there to be stumbled upon only by those who actually listen to the album and not just the hits. This is that for Tool.
    I know a number of people, Tool fans, who ignore or find this song unappealing on Undertow even still that I've slowly introduced to this and it rose to each one of their top five Tool tracks period.
    To make another analogy, it's someone finally getting why Hourglass is not only not annoying but is the best ignored track on Eat the Elephant.

    Just as Shakespeare contains a plethora of situations so corespondent to reality, Tool contains a range of emotional stimuli that allow us to utilize this artistic medium to learn about reality, as we are escaping from it.
    Safety is a place we create, by creating a feeling, and that feeling is only made by other humans.
    Tool is safety for me. I find my home nestled inside it’s red, blue, and black ribbons of silken spirals melodically pulsating to the rhythm of a 14 piece drum set played by the devil himself, while an angel of death sings songs of sorrow and rebirth.

    Reminds me of the only best friend that I have ever had. His name was Mayfield. We weren't sure what to think of each other when we first met but we went to his house got stoned & listened to Undertow. I only knew him for 2 years but we actually went through a lot together. We met in small town Nebraska but said fuck that place, got a wild hair up our ass & decided to take a greyhound bus to Oregon stopping in Vegas for a couple nights. Had a blast in Vegas & ended up at Cougar Mountain right outside Eugene Oregon. We were absolutely dazzled & blown away by the majestic landscape, people, & drugs (coming from Nebraska). We were living out of a tent like a couple hippies in the mountains for the summer. Summer was about over & the weather was about to change. We didn't wanna go back so I talked him into hitching down the Pacific coast or "highway 1" to San Diego. I said I had seen some of it as a kid & he needs to experience it. This was back in '94-'95 mind you so hitching was still a thing. We had quite an adventure slowly going down the coast, stopping in San Jose, Santa Cruz, & Rosemead. It was the best & happiest time of my entire life, going on that adventure. We parted ways in San Diego & I went back home & he ended up going to Alaska to work on a fishing boat. He made enough money to get himself a trailer back home & got a girl & knocked her up. I saw him one other time when he was getting his trailer ready. We partied & reminisced about our trip. I ended up moving down to Arizona & I guess we kinda lost touch. About 6 months later I called my Mom & she had told me that he passed away. "Suicide by cop". It saddened me & kinda shocked me but I thought back to all the times we had joked about it & talked about how fucked up our lives were. To this day though I cant help but think it should have been me. He was young successful, was about to get married & have a baby. I'm 44. Never been married, never had kids, & I'm a complete fuck up & loser. The water came & took him & embraced him, took him to that place that he longed for & it left me there on that rock, with the sun beating down on me, punishing me. It should have been me....

    This whole album in retrospect is, in my opinion, their best! I think people are blinded by time signatures and what not in the last few releases, but this album just has a drive to it! It has an anger without being mean, it just bluntly calls out daily life issues/human conditions that effect us daily without getting "spiritual." Don't get me wrong, I really like their later stuff (last album excluded), but after re-listening to their catalog this album for me takes the cake. Oh, and the bass on this baby!!!
