Awesome thread Orion. I've never been a big tool fan, but I am absolutely a music lover.
My tastes are, like many here, usually far from mainstream.
I suppose if I had to categorize my musical interests, most would fall under the jam band umbrella, which contrary to poular belief, is extremely varied, from electronica to bluegrass etc....
As far as interseting lyrics go, I've got a good example for you if you have some extra time on your hands.
String Cheese Incident from bonaroo 2007 (really sweaty). Checkout the 3rd track: "Rollover"

I think the lyrics
