Aenima Lyrics
Some say the end is near.
Some say we'll see Armageddon soon.
I certainly hope we will.
I sure could use a vacation from this
Bullshit three ring circus sideshow of
Freaks
Here in this hopeless f*cking hole we
call
LA
The only way to fix it is to flush it
all
away.
Any f*cking time. Any f*cking day.
Learn to swim, I'll see you down in
Arizona
bay.
Fret for your figure and
Fret for your latte and
Fret for your lawsuit and
Fret for your hairpiece and
Fret for your Prozac and
Fret for your pilot and
Fret for your contract and
Fret for your car.
It's a
Bullshit three ring circus sideshow of
Freaks
Here in this hopeless f*cking hole we
call
LA
The only way to fix it is to flush it
all
away.
Any f*cking Time. Any f*cking day.
Learn to swim, I'll see you down in
Arizona
bay.
Some say a comet will fall from the
sky.
Followed by meteor showers and tidal
waves.
Followed by fault lines that cannot
sit
still.
Followed by millions of dumbfounded
dipshits.
And some say the end is near.
Some say we'll see Armageddon soon.
I certainly hope we will 'cause
I sure could use a vacation from this
STUPID shit, silly shit, stupid
shit...
One great big festering neon
distraction,
I've a suggestion to keep you all
occupied.
Learn to swim. [x3]
Mom's gonna fix it all soon.
Mom's comin' 'round to put it back the
way
it ought to
be.
Learn to swim. [x9]
f*ck L. Ron Hubbard and
f*ck all his clones.
f*ck all these gun-toting
Hip gangster wannabes.
Learn to swim. [x9]
f*ck retro anything.
f*ck your tattoos.
f*ck all you junkies and
f*ck your short memory.
Learn to swim. [x8]
f*ck smiley glad-hands,
With hidden agendas.
f*ck these dysfunctional,
Insecure actresses.
Learn to swim. [x8]
'Cause I'm praying for rain;
I'm praying for tidal waves
I wanna see the ground give way.
I wanna watch it all go down.
Mom, please, flush it all away.
I wanna see it go right in and down.
I wanna watch it go right in.
Watch you flush it all away.
Time to bring it down again.
Don't just call me pessimist.
Try and read between the lines.
I can't imagine why you wouldn't
Welcome any change, my friend.
I wanna see it come down.
Bring it down.
Suck it down.
Flush it down.
Some say we'll see Armageddon soon.
I certainly hope we will.
I sure could use a vacation from this
Bullshit three ring circus sideshow of
Freaks
Here in this hopeless f*cking hole we
call
LA
The only way to fix it is to flush it
all
away.
Any f*cking time. Any f*cking day.

I don't pretend to explain what this means literally. Figuratively, and to me alone, it means to not allow for society to dictate what is important. To learn to be your own person, to learn to swim against all current and to enjoy life without allowing things like the "coolness" of tattoos, contracts, figure, lawsuits, things of this world get in your life's way of fulfillment.
I, personally, am not sure if the flushing of the world is requested here so much as the end of the narrator's concerns with the cares of this life being flushed down the drain. While the statements are clearly literal, the visual of LA being a giant toilet and being destroyed from the coast all the way to the "newly created" arizona bay are, again in my opinion, a beautiful visual for letting go of the BS that is this life. . .

I think this song is about hitting the bottom and realizing that you're the one to blame. He goes on a tirade listing all these things that he hates about the world and society and presents two ways to deal with it. To a) flush it down or b) learn to swim. To flush it all away, one could fuck his mind up with hardcore drugs, commit suicide, or go on a rampage. Anything where you let go of reality. Or you can learn to swim, or in other words deal with the shit in the world. Don't let it define you, because if you can swim on your own, you don't need mom (society) to hold your head above the water.

Maynfard actually had a dream of California being drowned by a tidal wave. That's not interpreting, that's outta maynards mouth.

Just as the name implies you know nothing! Stop trying to decipher the words! It can be taken MANY WAYS, so many of you people believe you know better than anyone else. Let it go! These lyrics can be taken in many ways!

Tool were one of the great bands of the era. Not sure what happened after this album. They really lost their way.

This particular piece is straight and in your face. He is wanting a clean slate for L.A. and wanting mother nature to provide us with this clean slate.

The songs talking about how messed up the world is, how big an influence Scientology has on LA and the media, how The world is crashing down on itself but no one does anything to help because they get everything handed to them and don't work for anything.

May nerd is simply expressing his stance on pool safety. Someone has to dive in to the shallow end every once in a while to remind us that walking is not to be taken for granted.
