but thats not really what tool are about.
"Sweat" lyrics. does no-one else see that maybe the line "just kidding" had more meaning to it than it at first seems. It's fairly well known, and the references to the hunter and the fisherman in the song, along with those to 'sinking deeper' refer to dying, to returning to the collective human consciousness which 'war profiteer' refers to. The sun is burning hot again on the hunter and the fisherman, and I’m trying to remember when, but it makes me dizzy. Tool Lyrics "Sweat" I'm sweating, and breathing and staring and thinking and sinking deeper. Seems so familiar. Seems like I've been here before.

It's almost like I'm swimming.

Seems like I'm slipping into a dream within a dream. This song is Tool’s “Come Together” in that it is there way of letting fans and even themselves know that even if there have been hardships they can still fit together and create greatness. i see it as,... people wanna hear that bands arent allowed to say what they want, cus its rebelious and all that. Artist: Tool Album: Opiate Song: Sweat 1992 Lyrics: I'm sweating, and breathing and staring and thinking and sinking deeper. However, we as listeners shouldn’t rule out the possibility of the song’s lyrics dealing with multiple figures. I don't know Tool very well, but reading these lyrics I was reminded of an epitaph I once read: ''Here lies the hunter, home from the hill, and the sailor home from the sea''. General Commentit struck me that most people have overlooked the last three lines. It's almost like I'm swimming. Also the reason why this might sound like a drug/trip song is because in extensive meditation and soul searching it is not unlikely to have hallucinogens aide you in your spiritual journey, such as peyote or mushrooms. Sweat is the searching before finding the answer, that awkward limbo-like state that you find yourself in extensive meditation, looking for the answer that has not made itself known to you, yet. Like many of Tool’s songs, this one is vague enough to be open to many interpretations, from being about a drug trip to being about reliving the same life over and over again.
