Band Name Origins:
- It's an acronym for To Orally Obfuscate Leviathan. Submitted by: draztik
- There are in fact two sides to the name. The first is, the story about the band not liking people that can't think for themselves and are just "tools" on puppet strings for whoever they are following (Think for yourself, question authority!!!). This is totally true. The other theory, also very true, is that Maynard is a firm believer in and studies Lahcyrmology, the philosophy by which one cries and the tears represent troubles leaving the body and a natural cleansing of the soul. The band took that and want their music to be a teaching "tool" for understanding the philosophy. This is evident since each album (even Opiate) has some reference to water. Submitted by: GrAyMiSt

Song Titles Not Used as Lyrics:
Song Name | Comments & Submitter Name |
| "Faaip De Oiad" | Though the title is latin, all of this song is in English. - GlamRockNinjaLord |
| "Forty-Six & 2" | My shadow...my shadow...changes... - Jonathan S. |
| "Ænima" | Probably the most repeated line is, "Learn to swim." - Jonathan S. |
| "Prison Sex" | Another instance where the title fits the song so much, it doesn't need to be sung in the lyrics. - Robert Plant Food |
| "Stinkfist" | Many radio stations found the title, which is not found within the song's lyrics, to be offensive. They had their air personalities introduce the song as "Song #1" (or something similar), because it was the first song on the "Aenima" CD. - Karen Black Sabbath |
