The Vision of Tool

The Vision of Tool

I was turned on to the music of Tool when I watched a U Tube video about Tool’s song “Lateralus” Here is the link:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uOHkeH2VaE0

But this is not what I am here to talk about.  I was impressed by the Tool song “Right in two”

Right in Two is spoken from the perspective of the Angels.  Faithful or Atheist neither of us knows the truth.  Take a leap of faith for a moment and consider this.

The Angles were created by God to serve God, to watch over and protect man.  The Angles are Divine beings serving God faithfully; and mankind?  We humans fall, and rebel against God.  With the Angels caught in the middle to clean up the mess.  But God Loves mankind, it would seem, more than God loves the most faithful Angels.  I don’t know about you, but if I was an Angel this preferential treatment of Humans just might piss me off.

According to the lore Lucifer, Gods Morning Star, favored son, rebelled against God basically over God giving free will to humanity.  Free Will Man.  Think about that for a minute.  The Angels don’t have free will.  Don’t believe me.  Ask the 1/3 of the host of Heaven who fell with Lucifer.  If this is free will it comes at a heavy price, Expulsion, from Heaven.  Can you imagine being expelled from Heaven?   Humans are disobedient, unfaithful, murderous, and ultimately corruptible.  WTF did the Angels do to really be nothing more than Divine Janitors.

Some of us have been raised believing in God and his holy Angels.  We tend to think that all is good and the Angels love us too.  Yet, Lucifer a most favored Angel felt that we needed to be dominated, controlled, forced to obey God’s will.  I really wonder if Lucifer was surprised by god’s judgment and punishment.  I wonder about the 2/3 host of Heaven.  How many of them saw what happened to Lucifer and thought. WTF I better keep my mouth shut.

So now to the song “Right in Two by Tool”

Angels on the sideline,
Puzzled and amused.
Why did Father give these humans free will?
Now they’re all confused

Don’t these talking monkeys know that
Eden has enough to go around?
Plenty in this holy garden, silly monkeys,
Where there’s one you’re bound to divide it.
Right in two.

I can be a little slow sometimes.  It took me a moment to understand that Right in two illustrates our greedy and covetous nature.  When we find something, don’t we use what we can then sell or triad it away?  Don’t we bash in the head of anyone who looks greedily at what we have, or smugly rub our loot in the faces of others?  We are Silly Monkeys.  Consuming and diminishing what we touch.  Do we really need all the things we hoard?  Do Angels have cluttered garages where they live?

Angels on the sideline,
Baffled and confused.
Father blessed them all with reason.
And this is what they choose.
And this is what they choose…

Once again the ridiculousness of man is exposed.

Monkey killing monkey killing monkey
over pieces of the ground.
Silly monkeys give them thumbs,
They forge a blade,
And where there’s one
They’re bound to divide it,
Right in two.
Right in two.

From the outside looking in we look very foolish.  And we can’t seem to abandon these things that keep us from a truly elevated way to live.

Monkey killing monkey killing monkey.
Over pieces of the ground.
Silly monkeys give them thumbs.
They make a club.
And beat their brother, down.
How they survive so misguided is a mystery.

This next line is one of my favorites.

Repugnant is a creature who would <u>squander the ability to lift an eye to heaven conscious of his fleeting time here</u>.

Stop and Smell the Roses Bitches and be good to each other..Duhhh.

Gotta divide it all right in two [4x]

Fight ’til they die over wind, over sky
They fight over life, over prayer, over air and light
Over love, over sun, over another
They fight though they die over words polarizing.

These are all things that we truly cannot own.  And yet we struggle over nonsense.  With our intellect, our souls, we are so close to a world of peace.  It is our corruption that will destroy us.  It is our foolish greed that keeps us so far away from the Golden City.  It is our dishonesty that keeps us from open and honest debate in the arena of ideas.  It is only honesty that can help us to construct the pillars to a better society.  Condemned by “Gimmy it it’s Mine.  Do What I say.  Obey Me!  It’s Mine!”

Angels on the sideline again.
Benched along with patience and reason.
Angels on the sideline again
Wondering when this tug of war will end.

Gotta divide it all right in two [3x]
Right in two!

Right in two.
