Tool - Vicarious (lyrics)

[BifferVyp3r]

"this reminds me of A Perfect Circle"

*facepalm* *facedesk* *facewall*

[ScreamingEngines77]

@BifferVyp3r maybe because they're the same lead singer...lol :P

[kevinmcl555]

@ScreamingEngines77 he was saying how he is facepalming someone saying that. see the quotations?... lol :P

[WhiteFangDaWolf]

@BifferVyp3r *bodyground*

[farq69er]

fuck yeahhhhhhhhhh

[sabutai100]

excelente, excelente, excelenteeeee!

[neferiusnexus]

Great Lyrics, good melody, but it could definitely use some growling >:)

[ThePabo]

@neferiusnexus Tool doesn't need to growl lol.

[xXxRIADENxXx]

Fuck all you haters why the fuck are you listening if u dont like tool anyway

[1Foggia]

@xXxRIADENxXx You may listen to whatever the fuck you want to.........it's youtube........sometimes you listen to shit .......sometimes you find a great band....you dumb cunt.

[jointhemodernworld]

I'm not surprised this video is made by a twelve year old as that is the same age most reasonable people would drop this pretentious and immature band

[offitcock]

@jointhemodernworld sick riff

[willblucat]

I commend you fine sir, for being a tool listener at the fare age of 12, and also on the excellent vid.

[TwiCrazyLee]

we need more twelve years olds like u xP



[The19nor]

"credulous at best is your desire to believe in angels in the hearts of men, pull your head on out of your hippy haze and give a listen"

the mark of the 21st century

[MrMighe93]

the small guitar and drum solo it calls "Breakdown".....

.

[Revanjj]

The world needs more 12 yr olds like the one who made this

[XxOBSOLETExxTVxX]

As a musician, this song makes me tear...

[NatRayReaper]

The lyrics are quite amazing, but in some parts the rhythm of how he had sung it would have been better. sometimes, when you sing, screw the bass rhythm, it's not always meant to be sung along with. Sorry, I know, you didn't sing this, lol, I just was writing my mind. :3

[gr4bong2hitta0]

@NatRayReaper or maybe its perfect as is!! :)

[Darkvampeh111]

why block good comments about the song dude....

[XxSteelKill20xX]

Sober is the best song of all time

[lpkit98]

the best tool's song ever!!

[Rocker122112]

I love this fucking song <3

[smapp88]

i believe in one way humans are all the same. COMPLEX. however, there is one aspect, quality, characteristic that sets us apart. the one thing that sets us apart, tool helps me understand that which i don't understand.

[idealzV1]

You're right. that shit you wrote is extremely stupid



[TheManbearpig64]

if this is your first time listening wait till the song ends to change your pants.

[burnzyjakeyb]

What is this song about? It's maddest song from Tool. :)

[Soharta]

Nonsense! I thought the same thing when I was 12!! :P I still actually thought that was funny, and I'm 21 now. :P

[Smooshycow]

Everything comes down to an arrow and a knee.

[kevin4209]

Justin Chancellor is God of the bass guitar

[96fubar]

Every bassist dream is to be in a band like TOOL. One of the few metal bands that puts so much heavy emphasis on the bass.Justin Chancellor is one of my favorite bassists of all time. Cant wait for the new album.

[MrBloodybullet]

my second favorite tool song next to aenima

[0Rasetz0]

This song is so fucking awesome, the first time i listen to it i say "wow, i like it, is a very good song" but when i see this video (i don't speak much english, i mean, i can't understand to much english when i listen it) i can't stop to listen it xD Pd: Sorry if my english isn't good xd

[MrBloodybullet]

hey at least you listened to tool when you were 12

[runescapetonaruto]

@SkeggeDude hahahaha oh shit hah

[misspeyty13]

This song is CRAZY " I want to watch things die from a distance"

[SarottiTube]

La la la la, lala, la-lie!

[DonSulis]

6:59 to 7:04 is the sound of society circling the drain.

[SkeggeDude]

well now this is getting fucking annoying. this song is the shit and it has amazing lyrics which usually forces me to sing along with it. well. this time i couldn't continue singing after the part "she used a poison in his tea" because i automatically sang it "she used an arrow in his knee" GOD DAMMIT SHIT

[SniperCurse]

@SkeggeDude LOL!

[1776bricks]

@SkeggeDude you're making that shit up. That's the worst comment I ever heard. Everyone is sick of that shit!

[DevilHonzo]

@1776bricks I'm glad someone else thought so.

[TheRcool7]

@1776bricks calm down bro i know how much what people say on the internet matters to you but there is such a thing as ignoring it.

[1776bricks]

@TheRcool7 I was just being sarcastic. I really thought it was funny.

[gr4bong2hitta0]

@1776bricks actually i would have to say YOU have the worst comment. dont complain just listen to the music.

[soulreaperichig0]

@SkeggeDude incoherent bullsheet

[Metalheadaches]

Yeah it is, Relax and listen to some good music :D

[FACIFUCINATEN57]

I JUST GOT A BONER TO THIS SONG then i took an arrow to the knee

[nightwolfsnow]

I like how you changed it to bass and guitar solo ;).

[TearsOfIce666]

this is my favorite song period

[1776bricks]

You have on your tags 1000 and 1000days. Isn't it 10,000 days?

[rjamlegend]

@1776bricks Yes. It's 10,000 Days.

[MrDiscreet100]

One of my favorite songs, Vicariously I live while the whole word dies. Much better you Than i.

[iknowmyus3rnamesucks]

A kid I know just got a mild stab wound, not a big deal in some areas, but im my affluent little fucking high school this is the end of the world. The real problem is that people are taking this kids misfortune and using it to benefit themseleves socially by posting shit on facebook. Within a couple a few days theyll have forgotten about him, and will be back in their comfortable bubble. Fucking sickening.

[DevilHonzo]

@iknowmyus3rnamesucks It's sad the lengths people go to just for social recognition off other peoples material. Oh look someone in the world made the death star on minecraft better post that shit on my Facebook Wall so people will think I'm awesome. ,,|,,

[gr4bong2hitta0]

@DevilHonzo maybe the person wants others to see what he did? doesnt have to be for social recognition at all and by your comment i can tell your very shallow minded.

[enigma414]

@iknowmyus3rnamesucks no one cares about you either. shut the fuck up

[Guitraboy]

You forgot a "La"....

Lol jk

[ryguy2790]

anyone else wanna get fuckin stoned as hell when they listen to 10,000 days, maybe payode to make it feel like a thousand days

[googlestb]

@ryguy2790 peyote*

[zam4446]

"][" {[]} {[]} ][_

[Onironin]

How can this songs have any dislikes

[cassandradowneysoft]

This song is amazing!

All their songs are amazing!

Also pretty stoked to see these guys in TO!

...because they're amazing!

[ric34019]

[shuffenhauser]

People are addicted to watching what the media and entertainment wants to shock you with. It's almost a mental disease to see people enjoy this. Stories of pedophiles, rapists, incest and violence amongst loved ones. This is a sick sad world and each time you feed into the sickness that entertainment and hollywood shoves down your throat, you become a 'zombie', a 'junkie' , like everyone else.

[kushkillaallday]

@lokuh90210 *here

[lokuh90210]

not tryin to start anything hear but tool sounds good but idk why everyone thinks there is any more meaning in their songs than any other i mean in lateralus maynard says not to overthink things...

[NobodyNaboru]

Before I read the lyrics I had no idea how wrong I was when I sung it lol

[yeison5503]

tool lo maximo

[948Aragorn]

fuckin awesome

[SourToiletSeat]

Love Tool.

[karishmo]

@toolfanjt God damn it ¬_¬

[heyhelloimchrissy]

boobs.



[yaabitches]

<3

[trickeryrgd]

and in my opinion, it is one of the best songs EVER

[veganagev]

the lyrcs are not sync'd very well.

[xXMCRluvinGuRlXx]

i love this song cuz it relates to me so much, plus its bad ass cuz i mean, its Tool :), and yes, i am a 12 year old girl

[someonefromnowheable]

@xXMCRluvinGuRlXx No one cares how old you are or that you're a girl. you should have stopped at the smiley face.

[xXMCRluvinGuRlXx]

@someonefromnowheable yeah well, i don't really care, last time i checcked freedom of speech was still in effect, so, yeah

[someonefromnowheable]

@xXMCRluvinGuRlXx Good for you

[TheLoveNotWar1000]

Anbody else seen the video that's gone viral of these two white girls from Arizona disrespecting illegal Mexicans?

Well yeah, that brought me here! xDD

Epic song for epic timing, huh? dx

[guertinD61]

listening to this song gives me a high, so fucking dark and beautiful

[dannyingram29]

@guertinD61 The human need to see things that are shocking, scary, sometimes wrong is incredible, God made us that way. Good and bad, light and dark, yin and yang, ones that cant be w/o the other!

[poopypoopdkdkdjkdjad]

Songs great... Most of the people that comment on it fags.

[morphuez120]

Living Vicariously through arrows to the knee.

[religiousabuse]

there used to be no top comment about an arrow to the knee but then i took an arrow to the knee

[Imnothecrazyone]

This song raped my ears and made me hate myself.

Nothing better

[PandafulCupcake]

New favorite song!

[VivaLaShreddar3]

A top comment thats not about how another comment's about an arrow to the knee

[MadMaddy97]

Is it possible for one song to have so much meaning?

[guertinD61]

this is such a powerful song

[treek0o]

How can 3 instruments have solos?... Solo means one instrument playing .

that would be a small riff.

[TearsOfIce666]

@treek0o well, in rock, a solo is just any spot where the singer is absent for a rather long period of time

[UlquiorraxXxShiffer]

To be honest, I used to be so ignorant to the beauty of tool...

I had a friend who always said tool was kick ass and I called him a tool for it and made fun of him...

Two years later, now they're one of my favorite bands and I can truly see them for what they are...

Now, when I try to tell others how epic tool is they say the same things I did and now I see how frustrating it can be...

It makes me so bad but I've found the cure...

Listen to tool...

All is well...

[metalmilitia137]

This song sounds like it's in 5/4 time

[mikeyforternal]

all hail TOOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[yungky420Blood]

i think its one of the best tool songs too, like this if you agree or if you love tool, real music like this will never be forgotten!

[Smooshycow]

A top comment not about an arrow to the knee.

[UnderDog988]

@Smooshycow those are just 12 year old little kid follow some stupid fade just ingore them

[404noko]

@Smooshycow paradox

[DavidBlandinii]

@Smooshycow maybe he took an arrow to the knee

[bfbc2isgreat]

@Smooshycow well technically your comment is still about an arrow in the knee, but yeah those need to stop

[MixedIntentions719]

@Smooshycow A top comment about a paradox

[MrDomfux]

@Smooshycow i used to be the top comment on this video, but then i took an arrow to the knee

[zam4446]

@MrDomfux Ever seen that video called "Arrow to the Knee"? Well you better watch out or that will happen to you too!

[NavySealWannabe67]

@Smooshycow What fuck is the meaning behind the arrow in the knee comments? Seen them in a couple vids.

[stapledshut0908]

@NavySealWannabe67 It has to do with the game Skyrim.

[NavySealWannabe67]

@Smooshycow What fuck is the meaning behind the arrow in the knee comments?

[SarottiTube]

@NavySealWannabe67 In the videogame skyrim, some city guards say that. It has become a running joke around the internet.

[GidgitDijit]

there is music, and there is originality

[scaramoni]

love it.... sweet message

[WestsideKnight]

there is music..and there is art

[Mokenofrs]

if you listen closely at the 5 min mark you can hear news stories in the back ground, anyone know what they are saying?

[Sjuak]

@Mokenofrs now you said it i noticed it too but i dont know what their sayin.., its very clear to hear

[TBDM666oO]

Lol myspace.. XD

[Aegl1n]

@TBDM666oO What's Myspace??

[yabuddy2012]

@Aegl1n You're ah... you're kidding me...right?

[Aegl1n]

@yabuddy2012 ;)

[gdpunkcess]

Saw these guys live at Big Day Out in Australia. AH-MAY-ZING!!! O.O

[playflea]

BADASS!!!!!!!



[Firetiger93]

@MrMackdaddy105 He lives vicariously through others experiences. Theres the sentence you wanted.

[gmcleod37]

thumbs up if you listened to this before "Guitar-Queer-O"

[facecheek]

@gmcleod37 i can proudly say i dont even know what that is

[ParoxysmHD]

@gmcleod37 When did this play during Guitar Queer-O? I can't remember hearing it.

[Bjtafoya7]

@gmcleod37 You sound like a goddamn hipster....so what if it is in a video game....as long as the music gets out there to oppose the stupid shit being released now these days.

[gmcleod37]

@Bjtafoya7 ok sorry for being a hipster and not appreciating a plastic guitar and all the people who became "fans" of this type of music just because of the game. My opinion: I love tool, and i hate guitar hero and stupid youtube drama.

[Bjtafoya7]

@gmcleod37 hey i'm just sayin, if a dumb game gets the music out there then it is worth putting up with its obnoxious fans

[iseeu1980]

@gmcleod37 Like it matters where you heard it first..

[TaigaXAzunyanX]

@gmcleod37 You act like its a bad thing that people, discovered a great song through guitar hero -.-

[xXMCRluvinGuRlXx]

@gmcleod37 u say that likes its a bad thng, you know ur a bit of a jerk for saying that, i happened to discover this, Parabola and Schism from Guitar Hero, that means i now know 3 more bad ass songs by Tool, just saying, you aint gotta be rude

[karishmo]

@gmcleod37 Did they really put this on guitar hero??? -.-

[brentscott04]

@karishmo yea

[frenchhorntrumpet]

@gmcleod37 Lol, you sound like such a hipster:P

[TheThunderGirl1]

@MrMackdaddy105 it's really more of a weakness for people like me.

[SevenStinkyBananas]

id give my left nut to have them play in my backyard

[GetFuckingAngry]

the ending made me cry. and i mean the last 2 minutes, 4:50-7:07

[canible001]

I'll subscribe but just cuz you said please and added a winkie face xD keep going bro.

[ACR4V3N]

Check it, the video to this really syncs up with Parabola, not this song. If you don't believe me, I've it on my page. Up vote if you watch.

[Mainman4409]

I totally just thumbs down'd this song.

[Mainman4409]

Christ is the virgin lamb of God(with a capital 'G') so fuck you.

[richiesurfs]

@Mainman4409 woah woah woah!! watch your fucking mouth

[TheThunderGirl1]

vicarious definition:

(adjective) experienced in the imagination through the feelings or actions of another person.

[iWentToNam]

@TheThunderGirl1 in other words empathy?

[TheThunderGirl1]

@iWentToNam yes basically empathy with mabye some narcissism...

[niceguy3601]

you know a song is awesome when you can enjoy it on your shitty speakers with a hangover

[ytaun101]

Correction of the lyrics (with all do respect and thanks for making this video) but when he says, "we won't give paws until the blood is flowing." Paws is like the paws of an animal, except it's the paws of humans

[kingLorshi]

@OLDGREGGZZZ IT'S BEAUTIFUL. >:D

[423apdawi]

SHE USED A POISION IN HIS TEA AND KISSED HIM GOODBYE

i love it!!!!!!!

cant wait for the new album to come out in 2012 :)

[TempestTheBlaze]

@423apdawi YOUR LYING.....Isn't the lead singer in some band call "The Perfect Circle"? ._.

[chrisgriffin22]

@TempestTheBlaze Yes Maynard James Kennan (Not sure I spelled right) is also in a Perfect Circle. Also another few bands he was in but can't remember the names, nonetheless hes a great singer.

[treq2112]

Redemption provided by annotations.

[MrNarutoxxx24]

well that first statement was RIGHTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!

[ZombieWolfeh]

Tool, wai u no sell yer music on iTunes? ;n;

[pythonsnakes45]

.....My ears just lost their virginity to this song!!!!!!!

thumbs up, bitches.

[EatBoxSocks]

I love how when Tool decides to write even just a semi-forward thinking/mainstream rock song, it's still masterfully constructed and laden with multiple meanings.

[EternallyFalse]

@EatBoxSocks this isnt a normal mainstream thinking rock song. no tool song is a normal thinking mainstream rock song

[alnajina]

@EternallyFalse he meant the meaning, though deep, is straightforward and doesn't need any analyzing or debating over the meaning like Lateralus and Schism.

[UnderDog988]

It is not one of the best IT IS THE BEST

[DonSulis]

Holy......Shit.

[spiikespiegel89]

The ending lyrics.. Omg. x.x Very powerfull..

[MercuryCoatedVeins]

i love how true this song is... america, why aren't we listening?

[thedemonator63]

dude this video was uploaded on my tenth birthday sweet

[TabithaRenee214]

this is an awesome song by tool one of the best
