The big question: Who is “Eulogy” about?
As with most Tool songs, the song is vague enough that can be interpreted to be anyone / anything. The song is primarily about the death of something which most probably turned out to be a fake. Regarding the rumor that the band is no longer on good terms with Henry Rollins; he has recently been heard talking positively about Tool, saying he was unaware of any bad blood. In Modern Drummer (10/93), Danny mentions L. Ron Hubbard as the object of the song. One way or another, though, the song has a message that can stand apart from any specific target; the interpretation is left to you, and the specifics aren’t too important. G28. In the middle of “Eulogy”, he’s mumbling again… Try “You – could be – the one – who saves – me from – my own – existence.” — thanks to Dave Conklin (conklin@bobafet.nrl.navy.mil) What he’s saying later on, we don’t know yet.
