      Brad knows better than to react to a Tool song without having the lyrics at the ready. It still always threw me off a bit because the album has Bill Hicks references (audio and visual) throughout, so I always kind of thought it might have been about Bill. It has Christ/Savior imagery, but it's never sounded like it's about Christ. It might not be about any one person in particular, I guess.

      Literally the opposite of Jesus or Joan of Arc or Tank Man, or any other real martyr who walk knowingly to death for their convictions. It's someone who wants all the reverence of a martyr but is then surprised when he's expected to die for those beliefs.

    Not sure if this is who the song is about but that album is partially a dedication to late comedian and friend of the band, Bill Hicks. Even if the lyrics aren’t about Bill, I can’t help but see a connection, especially with lyrics like “he had a lot to say, he had a lot of nothing to say”.
    One of Hicks’ comedy albums was titled “Arizona Bay”, which of course is a line in the song Aenema.

      @@amydogert9965 Danny Carey labeled L. Ron Hubbard as the subject of "Eulogy". However, Maynard James Keenan has also said that his lyrics are always interpretations of the music, and it's therefore important to find your own meaning to songs. There has also been speculation that the lyrics could have referred to Bill Hicks, to whom the band had a close friendship, and also to whom much of the album is dedicated, in artwork and quotes on the song "Third Eye". Furthermore, Maynard said in an interview to Toolshed in 1997 that “…The song's about tendencies, not about a specific individual. It's about tendencies of people wanting to stand on a soap box and sacrifice themselves in some way. We don't need that process anymore. You're on your own now." I believe it’s L. Ron since Tool performed a concert at the Church of Scientology and used his interactions with them as his source material. That’s how I see it and plenty of others; if you don’t, then to each their own.

There are many theories, and Maynard being Maynard, he's never confirmed nor denied who it may be, but the theory that holds the most water for me is L. Ron Hubbard, the founder of the church of scientology. The band had reason for beef with the church, having played the Scientology Center during their early career and having been subjected to attempts and coercion from the church to join the cult.

    The drumming through the part where its just drums and Maynard- "You claimed all this time you would die for me, but then why are you so surprised to hear your own Eulogy" is so sick, and broken down by many drummers on you tube because of its unique time sigs

      I heard a story that they got booked to play a Scientology Center early in their career, and apparently Maynard "baaaaahhhed" like a sheep at them for most of the show. Don't know if that is just an internet rumor or not, but I read about it probably in the early 2000s.

    I appreciate being told the intro buildup sounds were maynard on a megaphone, and the plink plink plink sounds were played above the neck of the guitar, where the tension is super tight. It helps imagine a more organic and live stage build up instead of a stripped down and very slow intro.

    The lyrics may or may not have been written with a certain person in mind but basically what the meaning of the song boils down to is: beware of public figures speaking from a soapbox. They often know a lot less than they're letting on and they have their own agenda which may not include your own health and wellness. Think for yourself and don't just follow someone else blindly.

    In this episode of Brad & Lex, the tinkering percussions seem to foreshadow something good for Lex as she exhibits a smirk of curiosity along with a snake like sway that becomes startled by a metal bucket like snare which activates a need for Lex to introduce her "double lever pull" and "sassy bop" complete with a "hair flick", a single "ear clutch", single "ear clutch follow ups", "trumpet tips" with "focus face" and an "ooh"..Brad may not get the jist, but knows vocal placement as he pieces the pejorative puzzle together performing a periodical "sway" before he himself becomes a lost piece while Lex needs no GPS to find her rhythm, continuing with her "trumpet tip bop" till the ending.

    My best friend and I attended Oz Fest in Tampa several years back. It would turn out to be our last concert together as he passed from cancer a year later. We were both HUGE TOOL fans. They were the most clear precise and very much the loudest show I've ever seen. And, I have seen a lot. I have a very specific memory of this song being preformed. It was so hot all day... smoking and doing our thing... Tool came on and it clouded up and even rained some. During this song, my chest was vibrating so hard and everything just turned kind of purple and I remember soaking that moment up with my buddy Mike. Still, hands down, my favorite show and moment in any concert. Including seeing Metalica / Ride the lightning at the monsters of rock.

    I love it! As a first time viewer of this channel, I am going to assume Brad is on the left and Lex is on the right. To me I loved watching Brad's first blush at reading the lyrics for what they are. A lot of "wait, wtf is MJK saying?". I also loved Lex's reaction that mirrored my own first half-dozen times listening to the song when I cared way more about the musicality, than the actual lyrics. Gotta say I love seeing people take a chance on something I really like and seeing their reaction.
