All I knew and all I believed
are crumbling images
that no longer comfort me.
I scramble to reach higher ground,
some order and sanity,
or something to comfort me.
So I take what is mine,and hold what is mine,
suffocate what is mine, and bury what's mine.
Soon the water will come
and claim what is mine.
I must leave it behind,
and climb to a new place now.
This ground is not the rock I thought it to be.
Thought I was high, and free.
I thought I was there
divine destiny.
I was wrong.
This changes everything.
The water is rising up on me.
Thought the sun would come deliver me,
but the truth has come to punish me instead.
The ground is breaking down right under me.
Cleanse and purge me
in the water.

What is the meaning behind Flood lyrics?
When we search for the deeper meaning hidden within the lines, Tool's 'Flood' depicts a scenario of disappointment and the awareness of the non-existing beliefs or views. The extents of the songs draw a picture of a flood metaphorically that is a process of spiritual cleansing or getting rid of the old perceptions which make the person to move with the new understanding or viewpoint. The singing persuasively points out despair, angst, reflection, empowerment, and heartbreak to the maximum extent. Moreover, the piece emphasizes struggle as the main element of attaining stability, self-discovery and realization, and then letting go and moving on as the final step. The lyrics incorporate themes of battle and inner conflict that could be unsuitable for very small kids. Even if there are no direct mention of violence, sex, or drugs, the emotional charge and the image of rising water and personal loss indicate a need for parents' supervision. ✔️
