Hush is about when MTV began to censor the videos they played. Tool thought that they should be able to say whatever they wanted to say and theyre right.

Its about censorship and "political correctness"
when opiate was released they didn't have music videos out but ironically when they put the video for "hush" out it was censored.

Brock, I know that music means different things to different people, but not EVERY ONE of Tool's songs is against organized religion. I'm agnostic, but if you start to interpret everything as against religion or use situations as opportunities to point out fallacies (in your eyes) in organized religions, you'll make nothing but enemies.

I think this has to be the most straight-forward Tool song ever. Anti-censorship.

I Think this song is pretty straight forward towards censorship and the video for this song was made the way it is to convince their label to let them videos their way and not they way the label wanted them which is having the band appear on the videos that's the reason they come out naked and censored on this their first video.

I agree with the censorship idea, but after listening to this song some more, I realized that I completely forgot the "even if I'm not serious" and "just kidding" parts. I think they could mean that some of Maynard's lyrics are to be taken sarcastically, or as if he wrote lyrics based on others' perspectives to mock them.

I don't doubt that MTV censored their vids, but this song is a big F.U. To political corectness (in my opinion)

LoL, basicly he's saying F U to people that believe in not letting bad language on radio or TV. Amen Maynard. I can say what I want to. Even if i'm not serious. Those are the words of someone who really d-gaf!
