Considerately killing me, yeah. Edit Lyrics. Add Your Thoughts Comments. General Comment Okay guys, I'm pretty positive on this meaning. This isn't my own interpretation, therefore I do not take credit for it, but I do agree with it. Okay, about the meaning from toolshed. Ya ever wonder why they just DO NOT play that song on tour, like hardly at all, even though it's so popular?
Well it's because this song has a special meaning to Maynard. Devo Keenan, his son, has the middle name of H The song isn't about any person at all, it's about his son Maynard had a bad relationship with his father when he was young, constantly being abused.
Even though he loves Devo, sometimes he has a problem, and wants to hurt him. He gets it from his father When he talks about "snake behind me hisses, what my damage could have been", he's talkin about how what his father did to him wants to resurge through him and onto Devo. Infer the rest of the song for yourself. I think this is the best explanation possible. Thanks for botherin to read this. There was an error. Maynard was definitely a sick mofo back in the day Keenan born , Aenima released in Rotleez on February 23, This interpretation is perfect.
I don't even care if you copied it, what I just read was the best interpretation I have read, I got raw information at it's fullest. This interpretation made me think of my past as well. I thank you for bringing the light to my eyes good sir. I don't think its about actually wanting to abuse his son I think its the fear that he will be like his father someday. That he is doomed to that fate because people who abuse their children were more often then not, abused themselves.
Hes talking about the love he has for his son and how it has killed the person he used to be. I myself have a son and I completely understand him saying "considerately killing me".
He has changed everything I ever was and ever thought I could be. He killed the old me and made me better, "as I look in his eyes my fear begins to fade". He was scared to have a child until he saw him and fell in love. He is also saying he is no longer afraid to die, he has a legacy now and no matter where he is he lives on in his child. Ajaidov on March 11, Well and you know this world it is full of opressive governments, abusive concentration of wealth and power in a few, and the police fascism against people.
I think that the oligarchic dictatorial governments that the world has had for the last years has an impact on the family dictatorship at home of parents verbally and morally abusing their children.
So in this case parents are like the oppressive governments and the children are the working class. However I want to say something related to this, i admit that I have had many verbal fights with my father, and my father has had sometimes an oppressive dictatorial way of treating me and my brothers and sisters. But I think that this is ingrained in the capitalist system.
I think that the only solution for this is a mental, spiritual, socialist, christian revolution in this world Not the Republican Party type of christianity , i mean the liberating socialist-christianity. And many simplistic people in this world are very wrong in blaming all their personal failures in life on Obama and the capitalist ruling class. But the dictatorial abusive parenting is also to blame.
However that dictatorial way of treating children is really rooted in the capitalist oligarchic dictatorial political system we have in USA and in many many other nations. Only a political revolution toward workers socialism can be a solution for this male-supremacist system and dictatorial system of abusive parents, abusive husbands, abusive teachers, abusive institutions etc. MarxistChavizta on January 10, I think when he says "killing me just the same" he means the part of himself that will be let go once his son is born.
It sounds to me like Maynard wasnt ready to be a father when his son was conceived and didnt really have any say in whether or not we was going to be born. Makes some sense since I did see them in at Lolapolza and Tool did share the stage with Devo and Tool did play this song. I do not have an aenima tattoo with the capital A RE: "Devo. Blood before would have been his father, grandfather, etc.. Otherwise I agree you are on the right path with the rest of your interpretation. General Comment Most say this song is about his son, name being Devo H.
He wrote this song while his girlfriend was pregnant with his child, and it is about the storm of emotion bred up inside him over conflicting feelings of perpetuating the abuse he suffered at the hands of his stepfather, and a desire to overcome these worries of "Do unto others, what they have don to you" perpetuating the cycle of abuse and raise his child with love.
Tunes24 on October 02, Link. Tunes24 on October 02, Tunes24 Well said. General Comment "the song is about being very close to someone who is tearing you apart, someone you can't bring yourself to leave, but someone who will destroy you because you can't leave them.
Sign In Register. What's coming through is alive. What's holding up is a mirror. But what's singing songs is a snake Looking to turn this piss to wine. They're both totally void of hate, But killing me just the same. The snake behind me hisses What my damage could have been. My blood before me begs me Open up my heart again. And I feel this coming over like a storm again.
Venomous voice, tempts me, Drains me, bleeds me, Leaves me cracked and empty. Drags me down like some sweet gravity. I am too connected to you to Slip away, to fade away. Days away I still feel you Touching me, changing me, And considerately killing me. Without the skin, Beneath the storm, Under these tears The walls came down. And the snake is drowned and As I look in his eyes, My fear begins to fade Recalling all of those times. I could have cried then. I should have cried then.
And as the walls come down and As I look in your eyes My fear begins to fade Recalling all of the times I have died and will die. It's all right. I don't mind. Venomous voice, tempts me, Drains me, bleeds me, Leaves me cracked and empty. Drags me down like some sweet gravity. And I feel this coming over like a storm again now. I am too connected to you to Slip away, fade away. Days away I still feel you Touching me, changing me, Considerately killing me.
Considerately killing me. Under these tears now, The walls came down. And as the snake is drowned And as I look in his eyes, My fear begins to fade Recalling all of those times. I could have cried then. I should have cried then. And as the walls come down And as I look in your eyes My fear begins to fade Recalling all of the times I have died And will die. It's all right.
