It's about seeing someone falling through the cracks (whether through drugs or depression or both) and not being able to understand or sympathize. Suicide and self-destruction through drugs are linked, the album is called 13th Step.

I've come to appreciate Adam Jones a lot more in recent years. I've always thought that he was underrated compared to the other three guys, but every time I listen to this album and Lateralus I notice more little subtleties that he throws in that add so much character to the tracks.

They are all amazing. I don't care how technical the performances are, there's just each note exactly where it needs to be.

He absolutely has. And the three dimensional guitar tone he gets by using amps with different voicings to emphasize each subrange of the frequency spectrum is just unreal. I haven't heard anything else quite like it.

I've been jamming this the last couple of days and man that climax in H.



TFW you'll never be as good at anything as these guys were at their game back in 96



There are at least a dozen of those kinds of moments on this album

@Aiwaz and @Artiswar

It's technically about that yes, but it's not portrayed in the way that you guys speak of. I will explain in a minute.

So the song isn't actually spoken from Maynard's perspective towards someone with suicidal tendencies or drug abuse, but it's from the perspective of an outsider directed towards a drug addict with suicidal tendencies which is actually different. From the lyrics you're thinking that this outsider wants to understand and help the drug addict. But as the lyrics progress you see that the drug addict is harshly judged and criticised which explains a total lack of understanding from the outsider. It's all about how he sees the addict as some sort of a threat, but in reality the outsider is in a worse place because he only cares about himself as shown in the final lines in the song where the outsider clearly shows that he doesn't care if the addict kills himself as long as he isn't bothered by his nuisance anymore.

I don't know If I explained it perfectly but I think this interpretation is closer to the meaning of the song.
