Discover the story of the song > The Grudge – TOOL

The protagonist is carrying a grudge and wearing it like a heavy burden, unable to forgive someone for their wrongdoing. He is desperate to control everything and justify his denial, but he's only sinking deeper into his anger and negativity. Saturn comes back around to teach him a lesson and offer him a choice: either he lets go of the stone and the grudge or it will consume him until he does. In the end, he decides to give away the stone and let go of the grudge, freeing himself from its weight.
