What does H. stand for in Tools Aenima album?
Speculation has surrounded the song “H.” The “meaning” of this song has not been detailed by the band, as they do not regularly comment on such things, but it has been stated that it is not about Heroin. Keenan introduced this song in 1996 by referring to the shoulder angel and devil, and also said it’s about a hurtful yet dependent relationship. It is also of note that the song’s working title was “Half Empty”, as it was introduced during a mini-tour of California by the band in December 1995. From toolshed G30. OK, they have a song called “H.” What’s it stand for? The working / early title for this song was “Half Empty.” The H likely stands for that (or “Half Full”). It may represent the old “half-empty is interchangeable with half-full” notion. Of course, it could also stand for anything else. It’s a safe bet that it does not stand for Heroin.
