MJK might very well be illuminated, studying his lyrics I have to conclude that he understands what kind of a joke we're living in, very healthy to see that bands like Tool are leaving an important message for all the ignorant fools out there.
"Wrong this song is about fucking idiots like you who like to tell other people what they know when we don't give a fuck. You're still a fucking idiot." Wow, I've never seen a more hypocritical sentence. Good job!
eliezeriero, you're WAY overthinking things. It's about how the media are just hungry for any piece of news, and the brutality of it is just being served up as their bread and butter without so much as simple consideration for the actual humanity involved within the story, and it's all just so fucking glossy these days that it almost feels like none of this shit is real. that's why we're watching the news, just vicariously watching others die, like it's almost fake.
A Vicarious is God's sent one to earth. In Catholic church the 'vicarious' is the Pope. So, I guess that by "vicarously i live while the world dies" it's because the Pope has all that gold in the vatican while people are starving all around the world.
So, he enjoys to watch things die from a good safe distance, because he has riches and tons of valuable posessions.
we all need to watch things die, sometimes we deny a peny to homeless guys....
Wrong, but nice guess. The song is about human apathy.... Apathy will kill us all in the end. Because we will not get off our asses to save ourselves regardless of the threat. Look around. Our govt has gone fascist and we do nothing. They divide us and compartmentalize us so easily. Divide and conquer.
Wrong this song is about fucking idiots like you who like to tell other people what they know when we don't give a fuck. You're still a fucking idiot.
Most tool songs are made vauge because they want them to be open for interpritation. If thats what they think, and there opinions are different, then the song has done its job... and the statement you just made.... it fits what its saying... read it to yourself.... hope you feel bad. :)
No , Wrong , that is not what Vicarious means first off it means to "watch" yourself threw other people and he is describing how we watch others die and not care for them . the court systems sends messages to the white house saying "Oh , we need to kill them , becuase the do nothing but not worship our religon" Now , there is a similar word spelt like this but its not this Vicarious , its called a Homophyone. Learn your grammar
My grammar? Well, this is not my native language. But if you still get it then it is enough for me. Like j0ejack say, Tool lyrics are always kind of ambigous so people can identify themselves better with the lyrics. i read it in an interview. get your facts for real. open yourself to different ideas.
vicarious means i think you enjoy sumthing other peaple do it says Vicariously I, live while the whole world dies what else could that mean? so its bout him enjoying to hear peaple die while hes alive
i'm almost positive that Tool didnt make this vid, but...its just random enough to believe that Tool did, yet not random enough to be sure that Tool did, psh w/e its a great song plagued by a horrible video regardless of whether Tool made the vid or not
yeh livetothink has it right lo i mean the word can be used in different ways but in this way it means to live a tragedy or whatever through someone else
and also about the video i thought it was great all the other videos, i mean besides hush, really had no point and the video was supposed to represent the song
To live vicariously, is let's say ... your parents trying to live their expectaions through you, such as mothers of Miss 4 year old USA!! lol. Umm, I think it is about watching TV and vicariously living through others lives. A little outside the box.
I saw the live last week and it was AMAZING, but they didn´t played The Pot. And what the hell does Vicarious mean?? I´m from Germany and this word isn´t in my dictionary ;-)
I can't STAND this song - but have to learn the drums for an A-level music recital. AAARRRGGGHHHHH! I'm going to kill myself before the end of the week
Kill myself is looking like the better option, I've managed to convince him to drop it, and play an improvisaion of Purple Haze by hendrix instead, will go wild on the drums ^_^
holy shit dude if you cant appreciate the genius moldic dynamics and the stregth of the lyrics the co-ordination of the bass and guitar and the powerfull singing you should just give up music cause honestly this song is a fucking work of art fair enough the video doesnt really have much relivance to the song but it looks good people who cant appreciate tool are just plain sheep do you want to be a sheep? no! then dont be a dick!!
This video goes perfectly with the song your an idiot. People dont have to like tool. I happen to be a huge tool fan but i dont force people to listen to them because frankly im not a dick. Now Whos the dick
pushit is the best song ever, it shows everything the band has to offer.... 46 and 2 is good, but not magic like pushit .... learn something about tool before you comment
Tool rocks. There videos are a way of self-expression. You don't have to like it. But Adam Jones did do some of the effects in the movie Alien and he does the videos, so they're pretty creepy. Just look at the Stinkfist vid.
i love it when people call people noobs ..yes, it is bullshit, jst watch the tool interview w/ that french dood.. they said there videos were all going to be animated fully.
This argument that seems to be going on, JHock, I need to say something to you. "Fighting on the internet is like competing in the Special Olympics. Even if you win, you're still retarded." Whoever owns this video, keep the fact to yourself. Some people don't care who the hell made it, as long as it works with the song, and in this example, it does. THE SONG IS WHAT GIVES IT BODY AND TOOL IS GIVEN FULL CREDIT FOR THAT, NOT YOU. It's a fucking video. Life goes on.
JHock216 is a tool (no pun intended). butters671 said it wasn't his, many times. And you still have to whine about it. By the way, it's not THAT great. You complain about him splicing up your video, wtf do you call your work? You spliced up a bunch of videos yourself, you friggen n00b.
Very Good! I found myself starring, wanting, and waiting to see if the baby was going to drown, and then "You all need it too, Don't Lie". Also, "don't look at me like I am a Monster" showing Saddam, who am I to throw stones at anybody else? I Loved It. You really brought out the message in the song. Thanks
you stole my idea and pawned if off on your on RIFKIN the girl in the blacksuit is my video i spliced the majority of it together. you just downloaded mine and made a new video out of it. How is that being creative. Get your own ideas you suck rifkin
the oppening was ok but then you've got this baby floating in the water thing that goes on forever. this is definately a better cut than the previous vicarious movies that you used footage from, but it still needs massive wrk.
HE COPIED MY VIDEO..im JHOCK216. I MADE A VICARIOUS VIDEO and submitted it in MAY. This guy downloads my video and splices in my stuff. I ACTUALLY MADE alot of the content in my video. Also all this video is is other peoples videos. I cant believe this.
well.. i'm not sure i understand wat u mean but i'm not pretending i made this video in any way... again if you want to be extra sure, I DIDN'T. You don't have to sue me for copyright protection it's all urs.
Waow I wanna know who made this video it is epic... great lyrics too
