About This Track
A promotional single from Tool's second studio album, 'Ænima' (1996), 'H.' peaked at number 23 on Billboard's Mainstream Rock chart. The working title was 'Half Empty', and the single letter likely stands for that or its inverse. The lyrics sustain a dual metaphor: a snake that hisses warnings about damage, and blood that begs for openness. Maynard James Keenan writes of something 'considerately killing me', a force both void of hate and draining all the same. The storm imagery recurs, the speaker caught between fear and acceptance, between the urge to slip away and the pull of connection. By the close, the walls come down, the snake drowns, and the refrain shifts to resignation: 'It's all right / I don't mind'.
"H." is a single by TOOL, released 1997. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 2 articles about TOOL.
