I’ve heard this song and seen this video for years. I saw it almost 30 years ago for the 1st time. It was deeply disturbing, then for sure… but profoundly raw and heartfelt given it’s message. JR. High, had never experienced anything like “abuse” and was only able to empathise as much as my teenage awareness would allow me, however much I sincerely, did try.
It’s many years later. I’m married with a family and children… and NOW, Everything about this hits COMPLETELY different… This song in correlation with the video has brought me to tears and broken me. This is just, SOOO brutal 
and to consider how many poor, innocent little ones go through this sort of thing on a regular, minute by minute, second by second daily basis is beyond my comprehension. Lord, help us
I love how people are always recommending more Tool songs in the comments. I recommend EVERY Tool, A Perfect Circle, and Pusifer song. That and Passenger by Deftones… featuring Maynard. Lol
Maynard basically said this one of his more disturbing lyrical selections
