Tool - Intension Song MeaningsLyrics:Pure as we begin. Pure as we come in. Pure as we begin. Ruled by will alone. Pure as we begin. Here we have a stone. Gath... (See the rest of these lyrics) Submitted by: anonymous Added: 2006-08-08 03:20:19 Rating:  Personally, I believe that the song "Intention" is an observation on the entire human race... It is an extremely good introductory song to "Right In Two". The lines "pure as we begin" explain how our (mankind's) intentions are usually good in the begining, but then there are lines such as "smoke becomes a flame, flame becomes a fire" these lines are metephors of our intentions evolving into eventual out of control evil... That is why I think Maynard chose smoke and fire as his metaphors - because as smoke builds into flame and flame to fire, it becomes exceedingly more out of control... Anyways, that is what I think...But it would be nice if other people would give another interpretation on the song so we can compare... Thank you for your time.
Submitted by: anonymous I think it's a representation of humankind being born without knowing fault, without knowing wrong, without knowing what is right. The human nature to desire what isn't ours and "move by will alone" rather than parental or religious guidance. It also speaks about how humans can use something "a stone" for both good and evil. Build a home, or throw at the stranger and swear to crush his bones. The same goes for fire...Use it for warmth, to light the way or to forge a blade to kill the stranger.
Submitted by: anonymous This song is like the "disposition" of Ten Thousand Days. I can't get enough. Of course disposition and intension have 2 total different purposes, but they both make me feel the same way. Great for meditation. I'd explain what it means to me, but it's pretty much exactly as what has been said. How our will drives us in which direction we choose. BREATHE IN UNION.
Submitted by: anonymous 'Intension' is commonly defined as 'intensification'; however, it may also mean "a strenuous exertion of the mind or will". In logic, it means "the sum of all possible attributes in a term". In the study of evolution, it can refer to the process of interbreeding. In language, words lose all meaning unless 'intension' of some sort is applied.
Submitted by: anonymous This song does talk about human race, but it also talks about how we grow and learn and die ect.
