[devilledevil98]

THEYRE SHITTING OUT THEIR MOUTHS EEWWW THIS SHIT IS GAY UR ALL SHIT EATING FAGS 4 LIKING THIS

[RockNieto]

@devilledevil98 See what it represents instead of the images only... The Fat Cats with their lies (shit) make a CIRCLE of power... which controls the entire world!

[Ja25]

@RockNieto Thats exactly what I was thinking. These are the bankers the represent the 1% of the rich who takes and takes and takes. ..Its an international relation also..

[asirensaria]

@devilledevil98 God I love being a shit eating fag

[devilledevil98]

@asirensaria What...?

[TheSpark512]

tool, not something you want, something you need.

[Ja25]

Foe the last 3 months...I have to listen to this song at least once a day.

[MuwargamesxD]

Satanico o bagulho vei rox

[fenixx001]

If this song and/or video intrigues you. Go research Chakras, things will start to make a lot more sense.

[fenixx001]

Best song ever. Of all time.



[clysus]

7:45while on acid today I realized that we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively, and this was what the video camera recorded of me.

[AMetalWorld]

WISH ME LUCK

[reshtokk]

@AMetalWorld hahaha try some LSD ... e.e

y=x^2?

[academicroach]

Hey people !

My English teacher told us that we are to choose a song and play it for the class and then speak about it. I am thinking of picking this one or Nina simone feeling good.

what do you think?

Could this song be to long for people?

[GhostAvenger397]

@academicroach not only long, but complex and complicated to discuss. you see, tool songs have a different meaning for everyone, and some people just dont seem to understand how deep and meaningful the lyrics and composition are.

[academicroach]

@GhostAvenger397 You are right , tho it would be nice to see the song reflect of my fellow students. 

[GhostAvenger397]

@academicroach well, yes. its always somehow useful to know other's opinion about something, even tho sometimes these can be complete bullshit, some could be very interesting...!

[shafta99]

@academicroach might freak them out but that is good for learning use it!

[Fsxace999]

@academicroach Do it, and then when it comes time to discuss, go first, and waste the whole class XD

[AnuxeL]

I usually get tired of a song if it runs on past 5 minutes.

I could loop any Tool song for an entire day and not get bored of it.

[angelaandgijoe]

That's Tricky (the black guy) in the video, just noticed! Cool!

[atennnant01]

Niha means love in Indian.

[atennnant01]

she was indian. India indian. she had a red dot on her forehead. literally.

[atennnant01]

Niha was the name of my math teacher

she taught parabola's...

I could have been a tudor for that class... I guess

[pablo18269]

is that most def??

[banderson286]

@pablo18269 No, it's Tricky an English Trip Hop artist. Check him out if you get the chance.

[Rynodeltoro]

Have an out of body experience, Listen to this song and puts everything into words to describe it. get to 7:50 remember looking down at my hands and can see the inside of my body before i leave it. mind explodes into a thousand pieces. Haven't listened to any other band since.

[anonisanon1000]

I find this increasingly easy to masturbate to

[HunkyTalkenMonkey01]

@anonisanon1000 In my reality, you are a lady...And i don't want to hear any different!

[DannyTPAlt]

I just love this video.

And Babitoi is awesome.

[laurastroila]

that dude is Tricky :)

Adrian Thaws.

[academicroach]

i cant make my mind up if " this body holdning me " is my own body holding my spirit or someone else holding my body....

[karrkiss]

@academicroach no ur right....maynards refferencing his body holding his own soul...he means his body is just a storage for his spirit....thats why he says he feels eternal but his pain is an illusion

[96111thomas]

GREAT SONG BUT PLEASE STOP TRING TO FIGURE OUT THE MEANING TOOL MAYDE IT CLEAR THE HATE THE STRANGE PHILOSOPIE PEOPLE MAKE

[GoldGamer13]

strangest video+awesome freakin song=?

[academicroach]

@GoldGamer13 Zzzzzzz

[Ja25]

Listen...this song.... is Gangsta. And yes im Black! and im loving this this song by Tool!! Much respect to this band..

[FedorfaN79]

just when you think you have a favorite song... another TOOL song come on

[insanesugarpain]

Watch History Channels, Ancient Aliens, and then come back and watch this.

[GoldGamer13]

4:29-4:41 Is the best part

[Jugglesama]

Breathtaking! Occult in every sense of the word. The apple opened with One and cut to reveal Babylon (6) and Godhead (8). The human body, though mourned for, was let go of. The Kundalini transforms the body running from Malkuth, spirals between Hermes and Aphrodite (Hod/Netzah) in the form the Caduceus, blooms the Lotus at Da'at, Baphomet, and unites at the Kether. The Enlightened reaches Omnipotence and the sign of Osiris Slain is given. The Godhead is then recycled into the Collective.

[tbone81395]

i used logic to try to understand that we are eternal but i dont understand that part .... if we are all energy (which matter is) i thought energy fades away after its been used? idont know im pretty fucked up so thats prolly why i cant think right now...

[TheNightsFacade]

@tbone81395 he's simply saying that we all have a soul. and souls are eternal

[nealer00]

@tbone81395 Laws of thermodynamics: Energy can be neither created nor destroyed.

[tbone81395]

@nealer00

of course, ive known that. but like i said in my last comment i was fucked up so i couldnt think straight.

[RapMusicSucks1000]

this vid is sooo fucked up O_o

[jesus57]

very nice vid, approve my video answer you'll enjoy it :)

[leveon011]

this song is a truth that make me question why i hold on to sorrows of this earth. i think the anwser is locked away in my flesh,if only i could somehow rise above it.

[luckylongarm1]

[bellydansa999]

I'm a Bellydancer, and plan on using "Parabola" for my next dance... It is the one piece of music that gives me the deepest, most intense emotion and beautiful feeling, & it allows me to dance better. Will post as soon as it's done... BTW, I would lick Maynard from head to toe, & be his slave...

[mic3pic]

beautiful part from 8:44 til the end *___*

[Dysfunctional1017]

I did a cover of this song on my guitar. Do check it out on my channel. Although, I haven't played all of it. I'm not that good.

[Hosorrow3]

To me, the parabol intro seems to obviously represent the corruption of the modern world. The apple is cut and goes from a five star to six then seven. It may be a good idea to keep in mind the seven seals of the apocalypse. Four of them have said to be broken long ago and there are three left. I think the apple represents the last three at the hands of corporate greed and corruption. The finger then lights a flame on it's tip, not sure what that stands for tbh, could be many things.

[luser279]

thanks for not turning the comments off

[suckitup1983]

yummy bass

[BigOnBass0421]

I love the jack-hammer motion the face of the doll makes.

[animemefreak74]

[gigas81]

I forgot how long these songs used to be. 9min feels like forever now. :P

*All caps when you spell TOOL*

[the2989]

Best song to have sex to, hands-down.

[intensityxc]

[spiralout1234]

sacred geometry in the apple...all of their "throw-ups"or "output" so to say effects everything and everyone..forms the circle..everything is connected...all=1 such beauty in truth this video is amazing

[SelixStudio]

I think Tool is a Door , a Tool , to Subconsien

[bellydansa999]

@SelixStudio What is "Subconsien" ? I can't find it on Wikipedia... Thanks!

[SelixStudio]

@bellydansa999 subconscious , sorry , i'm french ^^'

[gcaptaincurry]

WOOOW!!! That is trippy!!! The person who created that video is on some gooooood shit!!!! lol Love it though!!! Tool is badass!!

[ChetZenor]

[FrankMiller999]

[SomaComa89]

This song always picks me right back up when im down ^.^

[crazykidoutloud]

these are 2 song mixed 2gether but they go together. the begining is parabol and wen it starts getting heavy its parabola. look it up it shows it on last fm.

[niallsmagickiss]

 a typical star has 5 points, the star of david has six, and then the last one shown there has seven. All three of the star shapes appear in mandalas. The six pointed star is often representative of the heart chakra and is used in MARI, as well. Cutting the apple illustrates that the body is a vessel for the spirit, just like the apple holds the seeds.

[billydakid69er]

I think the message that they are potraying is what ever you make it. To open your mind to everything around you, to look into the spiritual side of yourself. I think the apple represents devulging into the unkown, a journey through life.

[fjgaza]

GREAT!!!!!!!!

[TheBrianstorm94]

5:40

[TheMushroomDog]

anybody else notice how when they cut the apple there's 5 seeds, then 6, then 7 with a star of david around them?

dude, this is a seriously good quality video.

[marakta118]

@TheMushroomDog the star of david has six points

[niallsmagickiss]

[tont3]

omg wtf is that what represent this fucking shit is so dufcking dark lol

[ocassidy]

I'm pretty sure that's 'Tricky' - he's in a few of the Tool videos. His 1st album = Maxinquaye

[44eelz]

@ocassidy which other tool videos is he in?

[eihwazone]

@44eelz ..he is in ...tricky..'Hell is Around the Corner'...i had it in favs....but alas That vid has been blocked by umg...the #^^>#* blokes...sorry bout that....zone girl

[Yahwtfk]

Amazing song and crazy ass video love the symbolism

[TheMaxwellFingers]

We barely remember, who or what came before this precious moment. We are choosing to be here, right now, hold on, stay inside this holy reality.

[fapofwarcraft]

What is the significance of the 7 point star?

[jb280557]

that is awesome!

[AstroZombee87]

Pretty awesome how the Kundalini rises up through his body and activates the chakra's, then the heart chakra blossoms and the kundalini continues and becomes one at the third eye chakra..

[marakta118]

@AstroZombee87 lol Naruto freak

[gorillazfan07]

@AstroZombee87 But when kundalini is activated it goes through chakra automatically doesnt it?

[MrCephalotes]

@AstroZombee87 COOL STORY BRO ¡

[Gamerman4427]

well it's not worse than 2 girls one cup

[philologoscr]

I do find babitoi's interpretation intriguing. It brought me back to Joseph Campbell's theory of the journey of the archetypal hero found in his book "The Hero with a Thousand Faces". It may be a proper tool to support the interpretation. Well, hope that helps the ones that are a bit puzzled.

[AustinMichalofsky]

The video is fucked i dont care what any of you say.

[quantumdude]

epic song from an epic band.

[michaelo66683]

I love the song but the video is fucking DISGUSTING and DISTURBING! I wish I could analyse it and understand, but have no time now, just listening

[sheadong]

want disturbing? check out mann gegan mann by rammstein

[babitoi]

I think this video rappresents the journey of a messiah (or an enlightened man) who is the black man with long eyebrows. I think there are 2 parts of this video, the first 3.00 minutes rappresents the evil men that corrupts world (the white table) with profit/money ( the blue apple).

The second part instead rappresent the journey of a messiah (the black man with big eyebrows), in the first seconds of this second part we see the little human figure with the moving face, (continue...)

[babitoi]

I think this figure rappresent the bonds that every human life has with its root, the messiah start his journey by seeing the black ball, I think this mean a sort of a master that guide our messiah through the new world (the window) but first the master has to kill his bonds (the little man) then after the kill, the messiah moves across the real world and then found enlightenment in nature, we see 4 eyes, 2 normal, 1 in the hand (i think this means the 5 senses) and finally the "third eye".

[babitoi]

Thanks for your attention :). And sorry for my english, I'm Italian.

[nanabaws]

interesting interpretation man, i'll be thinking about what you've said for a while...

[dneirflriGsedaW]

@babitoi Your english is good :) Don't stop trying with it! x

[MegaBeast17]

@babitoi and who cares if you have bad english tell that to your english teacher

[JimmyPage86]

@babitoi

grande compare!!!!



[kletuskasady1]

@babitoi ur a genious like me and ur point is brilliant

[atennnant01]

@babitoi

no you're Latin.

[Dennissays]

@babitoi WHAT?!

[HaNdsoFBLoodCss]

@babitoi wow interesting :) (btw what do you smoke ,please tell me :P)

[slantyrock]

@babitoi I think it's saying if you give deformed handicapped people rotten fruit to cut open, a whole lot of fuck is going to happen.

[shafta99]

@babitoi let go of skin color and then enlightened you become. we are one in the wilds of the universe.

[traumaboyzz]

pimp, homeboy ! the pinnacle of mans music right before your very EYES !

[ErnestResendes]

They used to call him Tricky Kid. He lived the life they wish they did ...

;-)

[Maxa992]

got totally addicted to it xD..tho the video is siiiiiick xD

[BogdanDiklic007]

Jesus Christ religious psycosys with enlighment at the end. Awesome.

[smokeymctire]

it isn't psychosis, but it's damn close. This song describes the DMT experience. Although it is not just like a trip (that would be completely impossible to put into any artistic medium in our reality), this video uses lots of symbolism to depict the depict the same experience. My favorite would be the beginning with the three men in suits, representing the world's most powerful people. They work together to spread their evil across the world (the black stuff coming out of their mouths)

[BogdanDiklic007]

it is psyhosys. "One came before" means that 2000 years ago came Jesus christ and One that now came again is subject listening the words in song(he thinks he is Jesus). The tree 4:05 is hard depression folowing psihosys. 4:45 is useless selfanalysys an so on...

[downernn]

What are you talking about? It's not even "One came before", it's "We barely remember who or what came before this precious moment". I don't claim to understand what the video is about, but the lyrics are pretty straightforward IMO. At least as much so as any Tool lyrics could be. We all know good lyrics can never have only one single interpretation, especially Tool's.

[BogdanDiklic007]

You are right. Says "what" at 2:17 . At first I heard "One". Mistake...

[M3GTR]

best song ever

[pidouble145]

this video makes my eyes feel weird.

[personcatherine]

Omg this video is so fucking weird!! But I <3 this song soooo much!

[poppyseed1000]

gives me chills XD

[FCEE1]

i hate that equation from trig i no its off topic

[mutt161616]

lol @ 1:58, i don't get this vid at all... Love Tricky though :)

[dramaphobia]

Thank you for the analysis, Pj3. However, I think you should just accept it as it is. It is, what it is. Why complicate? Sillyness.

[Pj311foo]

There isnt anything comlicated about my statement. Its the video in text format.

[Pj311foo]

This video is full of metaphysical symbolism. In the end though, it is a tale told through music and video, of a journey to achieve nirvana. This is shown most prominently at the ending with the opening of the root, sacrum, solar plexus, heart, throat, third eye, and crown chakras at which point he becomes one with the energy of the universe and finds enlightenment. Power. Energy. Truly a work of art on par with anything in the Louvre.

[RickyTomatoes]

Best. Explanation. Ever.

[kilian]

OK,great. but I got this before. End is enlightenment. But how does this compare to the begining with those bigheads doing circle with their filthy vomits? And suddenly it goes to relationship of two beings, one big, one small, one ball goes to several balls, kill the smaller one... this is too symbolic for me. i would appreciate some interpretation of things before the end...

[Pj311foo]

If its too symbalic for you now, youll never understand anyones explanation later.

[kilian]

there's no reason why i shouldn't

[Adam99tso]

Pure brilliance !

[1973destiney]

I will second that....over and over again!!
