Wear the grudge like a crown of negativity.
Calculate what we will or will not tolerate.
Desperate to control all and everything.
Unable to forgive your scarlet lettermen.
Clutch it like a cornerstone. Otherwise it all comes down.
Justify denials and grip ’em to the lonesome end.
Clutch it like a cornerstone. Otherwise it all comes down.
Terrified of being wrong. Ultimatum prison cell.
Saturn ascends, choose one or ten. Hang on or be humbled again.
Clutch it like a cornerstone. Otherwise it all comes down.
Justify denials and grip them to their lonesome end.
Saturn ascends, comes round again.
Saturn ascends, the one, the ten. Ignorant to the damage done.
Wear the grudge like a crown of negativity.
Calculate what you will or will not tolerate.
Desperate to control all and everything.
Unable to forgive your scarlet lettermen.
Wear the grudge like a crown. Desperate to control.
Unable to forgive. And sinking deeper.
Defining, confining, sinking deeper. Controlling, defining, and we’re sinking deeper.
Saturn comes back around to show you everything
Let’s you choose what you will not see and then
Drags you down like a stone or lifts you up again
Spits you out like a child, light and innocent.
Saturn comes back around. Lifts you up like a child or
Drags you down like a stone to
Consume you till you choose to let this go.
Choose to let this go.
Give away the stone. Let the oceans take and transmutate this cold and fated
anchor.
Give away the stone. Let the waters kiss and transmutate these leaden grudges
into gold.
Let go.
(Objašnjenje koje sledi je sa sajta songmeanings) Nisam prevodila, mislim da je dovoljno razumljivo, i obratite pažnju na razvojni put Saturnovog uticaja, iako onaj ko je davao objašnjenje nije ga davao u astrološkom kontekstu već psihološkom. Od strahova, kompleksa, zidova i odbramebnih stavova do rušenja istih preko istog Saturna, u cilju slobode od samoga sebe.
„wear the grudge like a crown of negativity“ (go ahead, put your grudge out where everyone can see it, let everyone know that you’re mad and that you want to be that way).
„calculate what we will and will not tolerate“ (decide exactly what you want to get mad over that would make you hold a grudge. this way when it happens, you can keep putting that crown back on)
„desperate to control all and everything“ (you don’t want to be on good terms. you WANT the grudge. if you can control the grudge, you can control the person you hold the grudge against.)
„unable to forgive your scarlet letterman“ (although they know they’ve done wrong, you won’t forgive them under any circumstance)
„clutch it like a cornerstone, otherwise it all comes down“ (clutch the grudge that you hold like a cornerstone, because you know if you don’t then the grudge dies. you don’t want that)
„justify denials and grip em to the lonesome end“ (come up with excuses to continue holding the grudge, and stand by them until the end, even when everyone hates you for what you’re doing, hence lonesome)
„Terrified of being wrong, ultimatum prison cell“ (you’re scared to death that someone can prove that you have no reason to hold a grudge. you worry about it so much you put yourself in your own little prison over it)
„unable to forgive and we’re sinking deeper“ (you won’t forgive, and for this you’re slowly creating a larger grudge)
The grudge begins to define you, confine you, even control you.
Again to the Saturn reference for almost the rest of the song. Saying that Saturn, almost as if, takes over your body. He and you become one, you make the decisions Saturn chose. And not until you end the grudge will he quit tearing you apart.
Finally, Maynard (singer Tool) quit criticizing and simply tell them what they need to do.
„Give away the (corner)stone. Let the oceans take and transmute this cold and weighted anchor“ (that was your grudge, holding you down). Give away the stone. Let the waters take and transmute these leaden (heavy burdensome) grudges into gold. LET GO. LET GO. LET GO. LET GO.

Q: „…Choose one or ten…“ – Every time I hear this song, I think of this part, and I cannot understand this?
A: I found out something that could relate to the „saturn ascends,choose one or ten“ part of the song. if you look on the back cover of the salival set (the plastic part with the ten circles connected by lines) that is the „tree of life“ which is the basis of all existance, according to Qabalists.
The first sphere is known as Kether and is the crown (top) of the tree. The Crown was attributed to Kether to illustrate the fact that it is beyond consciousness: The Crown is worn ABOVE the head. It is pure being; timeless; being totally devoid of form.
Ten is known as Malkuth and is sorta the opposite from Kether. Kether is one step away from existance, while Malkuth IS existance.Like its been brought up a few times, Saturn completes it’s orbit around 27-33 years. According to the Maynard, you are faced with the choice whether you want to exist or enter a new consciousness that is just beyond existance.
