| It means the abused becoming the abuser. That is indicated by I've come round full circle. This is not just in prison, but everywhere. Like religious "recruiters" preying on the weak and feeble minded. The weak eventually become missionaries and recruit more weak. | |

| From the most superficial standpoint, this is a gross song about being butt-raped in prison...not very appealing, so looking deeper's necessary. The following lines are the most important, I would say: Do unto others what has been done to you Do unto you now what has been done to me I've come round full circle. (quoted from tool's official site's lyrics) I think it's more about victims turning around and victimizing others. At first they are violated, but with time they "come around" to their predator's ways, and violate others themselves. This is not confined to sexual predation or just to prison. In fact, it seems more like Maynard means to draw a parallel to other froms...religious "recruiters" seem a good example. preying on the weak and feeble-minded, they convert somebody to their faith, and they cannot defend against these people so because of weak-mindedness they go along, and ignorantly believe what they're told. Now, they become the missionaries, and ignorantly follow orders to find "recruits." They victimize other people based on how they were originally victimized. (I'm not dogging all religious types now, just those who fit this example) Even a child playing an online computer game can fit it. Someone cheats , and he loses out, so he gets angry and starts cheating, ripping off other people. The concept of this song relates to many many things, we "come around full circle" a lot, and adopt what is handed to us, whether by a malicious enemy, or by inadvertent ignorance. So keep your third eye open and think about this one... | |

| This song is about Maynard's own abuse at the hands of his father. The video that accompanies this song als reinforces this idea. | |

| Okay, I guess the way I see this song is a lot simpler. To me it seems like Maynard is talking about a child who was sexually abused and then growing up and abusing their child in the same way because its all that they really knew of childhood and growing up. "Do unto you now what has been done to me" In relation to the title of the song, the child's home became a prison because their abuser kept the child there, or if not that it could be seen as emotional imprisonment. For me, seeing the video really made all of this come together, but that's just my interpretation, so who knows what Maynard was really thinking about this song. | |
