this song is not about drugs (tool members are not addicts as far as i know). its a representation of society which dictates your life. you are brought into a world where you are taught religion and where you enjoy all the matierial possesions. these things restrict the true nature of life which is to simply exist till you die. you have religions saying you can and can't do certain things, you have government and media showing you what you want to do, being swept under in the ocean of lies that society has created. you get used to the way it all works and think you're enjoying this reality others have dictated to you when in actuality, you're on your knees worshipping and contributing to the system of lies. when you become aware of how screwed up our world is and how wrapped up most of the world is in their petty matierial problems, you're helplessly awake in the undertow. and you will die in the undertow that you were raised and lived in because there is no way out of the laws and rediculous wars that the world around us creates. so stay ignorant and blissful or become aware and bear the burdon of the knowledge that you are being swept along in the sea of chaos at the mercey of of governments who think they know whats best for us.

Here is what i think of the song. I will just summarize it: Title: Addiction(its the undertow that pulls you down) verse 1:This addiction has been getting worse and I am sinking in deeper. verse 2:As bad as it may be, it makes me feel good. verse 3:I cant escape your grasp, cause im addicted, no matter how hard I try to shut you up. verse 4:I has sunk into the lowest of the low of drug addiction, and paradoxically it feels good as well as bad, but it is too late to turn back. I know I might have the verse numbers wrong but i rushed through that part
