Tool lyrics do read a bit like Maynard's therapy notes: "I've been wallowing in my own confused / and insecure delusions." And that's what most people need, therapy. But Maynard was the kind of rockstar who put you on a walkabout, stepping through your shadow and prying open your third eye. In the same lyric, he continues: "I wanna feel the change consume me / feel the outside turning in / I wanna feel the metamorphosis and cleansing I've endured." It's 'Break on Through' for the post-grunge generation, candid about the breaking, too, eventually: "[I choose to] kill and die and to be / paranoid and to lie / hate and fear and to do / what it takes to move through[5]"
