Hey, I saw there was no guitar tab for "4 degrees" here on UG,
so I found one that was good (in my opinion). Well, here it is:

Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture Chris Average	#1 by Chris Essery at Oct 4, 2007 at 6:59 PM EST
	I heard that Maynard used to be a cadet at the West Point Preparatory School. The term 4 degree is used for the freshman their first year at the Academy. (UMA is one of the oldest structures in our nation and looks like a 'castle'). If the song does express " the forcing of his peers to believe in something that he doesn't", then what better self experience to use than the time he spent at a military instituion. I think the metaphor of rape in his lyrics is used to better describe the feeling of forced beliefs- spiritual, idealistic or whatever... by the way, i think he left after a year at the school.

No Picture Lee Professional Badass	#2 by Lee the bass player, known as blacktooth90™ at Oct 11, 2007 at 5:18 AM EST
	I believe personally that it's about forcing things unto other's, but yeah, Maynard just uses the anal sex connotations to get his point across. But like many Tool songs, they are open to numerous meanings and interpretations.

No Picture Christian Wanna Be	#3 by Christian Chavez at Oct 11, 2007 at 6:26 PM EST
	well i think that it means you need to have a good time in your life. he is apparently wanting to do some chick, and she is resisting. so he says "lay back and let me show you another way" so he is still tryin to get wants but she is still not going for it.

No Picture taris Average	#4 by taris leoncho at Oct 12, 2007 at 12:30 PM EST
	Has anyone ever considered that this song could be a reference to the contraction and rising of water when heated from 0 to 4 degrees celcius?

No Picture Pablo Rhythm Player	#5 by Pablo Muñiz at Oct 15, 2007 at 4:59 AM EST
	Maynard actually said at a concert I went to before they played this song (and I quote as exactly as I can remember): "Apparently, the anus is four degrees warmer than the vagina... I didn't know that."

No Picture Mike Average	#6 by Mike at Oct 16, 2007 at 10:59 PM EST
	yeah, it's four degrees warmer up your ass that up your pussy, if you have one that is, which I don't, for obvious reasons.

No Picture ToRRi Average	#7 by ToRRi L at Oct 18, 2007 at 8:09 AM EST
	The song is about seeing more about someone than others do. How that person locks up everything beautiful and wonderful about themselves, and sex is how to bring it out. Pretty much a diamond in the rough kinda story, with sex.
