Tool - Part of Me Song Meanings

My guess on this one (because its only My interpretation)

Maynard is talking to his other self
The voice in his head is talking to him knowing him better then he knows himself
he can't get rid of this voice
But he also feels he should be one person
so he lets his other self die a little

I believe this song is about people who are looking at other people. How people think that they know other people because they find some similarities. This doesn't necessarily mean you know the person, because no two people are the same.

Unpolished thoughts of Pushit,Schism,and Jambi in my opinion. All about two sides but not quite at the Jambi stage
I wrote about Opiate below because Part of Me is one of the first mentions or IS the first mention of balance within. balance is mentioned and comes to light throughout the years. Tool builds on the concept and refines it in Jambi but, I like to think all started back in Opiate. 9:)
Opiate I think was just an establishment of anger and pain for and from religion and you could say it opened eyes to angst riddled teens and really opened the flood gates to Undertow which turned the pain and anger into potential and from potential to plan (aenima) plan to change (lateralus) change to decision (10k)and one of there building concepts being balance within.

Everyone before they get a hang of a certain writing style writes about love. The Opiate EP was an early album for Tool, and was before (I'm sure) he advanced himself into creating the complex metaphoric style he used for the latter records. He's just angry at a girl, unsure if he hates her or he needs her/ I'm the only one for you crap people feel.
