  • stair at one word till it turns and it will all turn yellow

  • 3:21 INCORRECT LYRICS!!!! Damn my eyes, Damn my eyes, Damn my eyes if they should compromise our fulcrum wants and needs divide me if i might as well be gone...... LIKE SO PEOPLE CAN SEE CORRECT LYRICS

  • @Gleeglee12345 Calm your tits, bro. No need to shit yourself over one small verse of incorrect lyrics.

  • @Gleeglee12345 Sorry...you are so wrong on this one.

    Perhaps you may want to listen more closely. "damn" "fulcrum" What are you hearing?!?

    "Calm your tits bro" and get it right!

  • JESUS WAS AN ALIEN BIRTHED BY ARTIFICIAL INSEMINATION FROM ET'S

  • @thatbastardson Yeah, and he is a Zombie!

  • OHH MY FUCKING GOD DID YOU HEAR THAT GUITAR SOLO???!!!!!!

    SICK AS FUCK !!! :D

  • Isnt this song about wishing and pleading for riches, but wishing them all back away for the one you love?

  • @Synyk2010 it could very well be, i think with Tool, it's left to interpretation, it's different for every person, so you just keep on believing what you want, maybe it's true maybe not, but that's music for ya, it's meant to be interpreted, so just use it for what you need man... we're all different, but it's great music that we can all come together and enjoy, so it's all good, keep enjoying it!

  • boner

    

  • the breakdown before the solo just makes me wanna punch something

  • these lyrics aren't correct. thanks for the upload, though!

  • Suck and suck! Suckin up all you can suck, workin up under my patience like a little tick, fat little parasites. Suck! me dry. My blood is bruised and borrowed. you thieving bastards. you have turned my blood cold and bitter.Beat my compassion black and blue. Hope this is what you wanted. Hope this is what you had in mind. Cuz this is what you are getting!!!!!! I hope you choke on this.

  • @09geauxtigers Had a bad day uh?

  • it was not poor quality it was good and the sound was even better

  • i prey for your broken wing, theres a free mind out there like you, i see more than 1 god, i'v seen angels rise from the dead, i was part of the walking dead to see this crossover, only what hurts can be healed

  • this songs about making wishes. the name jambi is the name of a genie in an old tv show, he granted wishes. its obvious in the lyrics that he would trade everything for that person he cares about, his "home" his "center". the lyrics can be interpreted many ways but i think he's talking about his mother again and how he would trade all his fortunes to have her back

  • The 12 dislikes have clearly shit the bed

  • ok im cutting the bullshit: toolfans? Enjoy. Tool haters either Hush or leave this vid alone.

  • @jewbacca6497 I do respect others opinions, I love them, just not you or yours, fuck off, people need to lighten up

  • Don't you f&*king tell me the first time you heard Maynard sing this song you knew when and where he would articulate his vocal melody. The guy has his own pace and you didn't see it coming, and if you say so you are effing lying. The guy has the most incredible vocal melodies ever in music... period.

  • This song is basicly a big FU to some of the fans.

    Its pretty clear when you look at the lyrics.

    Although im probably number 700 in saying that.

  • I love how everyone thinks that ']['(())(())[[_'s lyrics or the meaning of Maynard's songs are about an actual white bearded man with multiple split personality disorder, namely a spirit and a son. In all actuality it is simply a way of expressing his feelings for our true creators, for his true creators, for your true creators. Sumerians, Egyptians, and the Mayans plus many more have written into stone who is "GOD." If you wanna believe fables that's fine, but he doesn't.

    Faaip De Oiad

  • There is only one and will always be only one.....TOOL!

  • what a fucking mathematical band. They are so many years ahead of all of us it isn't even funny. These guys are true geniuses.  You all should read up on some of their philosophy, read it with an open mind, and it will blow your fucking mind.

  • Tool is f*)_cking great !!! I saw them live a couple of years ago and really..goozebumps :-)

  • Who gives a fuck about dislikes? Why does that shit bother anyone? Reverend Maynard would be displeased. How about the fact that this song is powerfully kicking your ass while making you think at the same time. It makes you listen AND feel. Makes you wanna thrash and throw your arms up and spin in a fucking circle while you are falling off the building you just jumped from. Damn imma go bang my chick.

  • He says prayed like a martyr not a Father.

  • Comment removed

  • Awesome. Thanks for your tribute to such an awesome band. TOOL is the Zeppelin of our generation.

    All you people who say bad things, please go somewhere else. Praise the bands you like. If you don't like Tool, why are you here? Get a life, please.

  • it's definantly damn my eyes...c'mon do some homework before you make a lyric video....that kinda f's up the whole song and some of the meaning....nice epic fail looser!

  • @pepper19801 so what if he made a mistake it doesn't make him a looser, lets see you make a lyric video and get as many views as his did.

  • @pepper19801 really it works either way. "dim my eyes" make me blind or make it all go away. fits the song and tool doesnt place high value on curse words instead relying on eloquent vocabulary and symbolism and you spelled loser wrong.

  • 1:03 starts the most eargasmic thinng ive heard in my live..i get lost in TOOL

  • thanx for the vid.

    horrible choice of color combinations. atleast font is not comic sans

  • wonder why he named the song after a city....

  • Weird. I like tool. I like perfect circle better.... but it is my firm opinion that if an artist writes a song and people argue about it's meaning or so many have no idea WTF your song is about, well, sorry to say but that artist has failed miserably. Just look at so many guesses at WTF the lyrics are suposed to mean. Ridiculous. Then there is that thing about how some cannot just enjoy a fucking song without ever doing an autopsy on it... continually. Maynard is brilliant but it's just music.

  • @REALITYCHURCH

    Perfectly understandable. APC is more palatable at time Tool has a very harsh sound but APC is more...smooth and Angelic? Not sure. 

  • @REALITYCHURCH - I think you may have missed the message that Tool (and MJK) has tried to deliver in so many ways. I feel if people are discussing the possible meanings of the lyrics and not just accepting the obvious (or what the 1st person writes as their interpretation) then Tool has already won, definitely not failed. There is nothing wrong with a little healthy dialog. It's when people don't respect the thoughts and opinions of others, and remain closed minded, that we as a society fail.

  • I believe it's "damn my eyes" not "dim" and I'm sure it's "silence legion" not "silence leech." cool post though. Oh, and Jambi is also a reference to the character from "Pee Wee's Playhouse." I read an interview where Maynard, before the band gave the song a title, told the band members how the song reminded him of that show. Apparently, they agreed, but there's also the Arabic part to go along with it. ~~Think for yourself~~Question authority~~

  • It's actually.. "Prayed like a martyr" not father!!

    And this song is about how he (Maynard) would trade all his riches and rock-star status to have his MOTHER back and how she saved him in the beginning from drowning in stardom..

  • well i think the song is saying that every greedy person has one person that they would throw everything away for showing we all have good in us and peace is possible.

    "Here from the king's mountain view

    Here from the wild dream come true

    Feast like a sultan I do on treasures and flesh - never few

    But I, I would wish it all away if I thought I'd lose you, just one day"

    greed will end when the greedy realize their greed is jeopardizing what matters most to all of us.. each other. thanks

  • I think the lyric is "Prayed like a martyr" not father. At least that's what it sounds like to me. Great upload though!

  • ATTENTION EVERYONE. testicles. . . that is all.

  • I don;t know if its possible for Tool to have a best song maynard's genius not to exclude the rest of the members' has no end.

  • @3adCompany

    maynard had a great point in an interview i was watching with him. he said "im only a fourth of this project if the lyrics were the only important thing i would be standing on an empty stage talking."

  • Loose was misspelled

  • Its "Damn my eyes if they should compromise our fulcrum, if wants and needs divide me then i might as well be gone"

    and yes its also martyr

  • @inf0101 This should be one of the highest rated comments. Just sayin. But not Super Saiyan. that's a little too much.

  • Relax it all comes down in the end....

  • Yeah lyrics are a bit off. I think its prayed like a martyr... not father or am i wrong?

  • hey good video

  • every song by tool is their best song ever xP all these dwabbers who think only certain songs are intensly magical...look at Tool as a whole and dwell in the transcendence that is part art part 'notha level thinking

  • these lyrics arent correct <.<

  • Why the eyefuck colours?

  • I think it's about maynard saying he would wish all of his fame and fortune away if it brought his mother back

  • Cant an artist create a future without personal refrence to the inspiration or social norm to justify the words used?!

  • Perhaps the lyrics are a tribute to Maynard's mother? He was succumbing to all of these drugs and other substances that were bringing him further away from her and when he finally lost her, he feels like he wasted his time with her still here; "If I could I'd wish it all away if I thought tomorrow would take you away." Of course, I could just be over-thinking, over-analyzing, and separating my body from my mind. :3

  • ..... Infidels...

  • If the guys from Tool saw the retarded comments written on their videos... :(

  • I think this song is about infidelity. 

  • @MrFlacid1 I think YOU'RE about infidelity

  • @PivotStudiosXE Your moms about infidelity

  • @MrFlacid1 Your whole FAMILY is about infidelity. And your girlfriend. Oh, what?

  • @PivotStudiosXE your whole LIFE is about infidelity. Your Great great great grandmother's infidelity bore your great great grandmother whose infidelity bore your great grandmother whose infidelity bore your grandmother who's infidelity bore your mother, who's infidelity- with me- bore you. Son.

  • @MrFlacid1 The word infidelity was invented because it took too long to describe your entire bloodline with "skanky-ass cheating whores who do nothing all day but suck dick and talk about their feelings". Chick-chicka yeah

  • @PivotStudiosXE Inventions were invented so that your family could invent the word infidelity to pin on my family to do whatever it took to take away attention from your family's infidelity.

  • @MrFlacid1 I yield to you. I have been defeated, good ser

    But your girlfriend's still cheating on you

  • @PivotStudiosXE lol. damn infidelity..

  • @MrFlacid1 Fuck, people...... you're both about infidelity. O.O

  • @PivotStudiosXE Fuck, people...... you're both about infidelity. O.O

  • @craazhy Your moms about infidelity.

  • @craazhy Your family is more about infidelity then MrFlacid's family is about infidelity, so don't you go talking to us about infidelity

  • @PivotStudiosXE That may be true, however I am currently drinking chocolate mint eggnog. Checkmate.

  • @craazhy FUCK! Chocolate mint eggnog trumps everything on the internet! I have been defeated!

    *gets sucked into a black hole, named craazhy's mom's pussy*

  • lol dim my eyes?

    and its damn my eyes if they could compromise our fulcrum.

    fulcrum: a part of an animal that serves as a hinge or support

    I think there were a couple others, but Im stoned and that was the line that stuck

  • 2:14 is supposed to say:

    Prayed like a martyr dusk 'til dawn.

  • I'm almost certain that it's "damn my eyes" not "dim my eyes"

  • Listen here, you dirty cock. Give us all your eggs or I'll be forced to jam a red hot poker into your cloaca. Oh, so you don't have any eggs then eh? LIES! Give him 10000 volts JOHNNY! -shocks the cock- NOW! Where are the eggs you DIRTY DIRTY cock!? This mescaline trip isn't gonna last forever and the king wants his FUCKING EGGS BENEDICT! With wheat toast. God help you if you use white bread you fucking molly-coddler.

  • @SaintPaul122 LOLZ WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT. D:

  • @SaintPaul122 I want what ever you're taking.

  • @PurpleNurpleUrple I was tripping on mescaline at the time..... Good times. XD

  • one lyrics i noted wrong here, was at 1:20, its small but still. -shrug- I THINK it goes

    "the devil WITHIN has had me down

    in love with the dark side I FELL

    dabbling all the way down

    up to my neck soon to drown

    but you changed that all for me

    lifted me up turned me round"

    Not sure but i think the cap'd words are the correct ones, but with tool whos to say. Its just how I hear it.

  • tool + concert +girls ,beer ,and weed and me + tool fans= best combo ,and all tool haters are dick suckers who have nothing else to do but listen piece of shit songs and genres like country,scremo and where is ,y honey nut cheerios don't i get some too

  • tool + concert +girls ,beer ,and weed and me + tool fans= best combo ,and all tool haters are dick suckers who have nothing else to do but listen piece of shit songs and genres like country,scremo

  • pretty sure he says 'damn my eyes' not dim my eyes

  • Damn i want some fucken cheerios with some sugar sprinkled on top of them with some organic milk

  • @amon2525 ........Isn't all milk organic? WTF! Is there some government conspiracy that is replacing moo-moo milk with SYNTHETIC milK!? IM FUCKING SCARED MAN! IVE BEEN TAKING MESCALINE! Holy shit..... I FUCKING LOVE TOOL! GOD DAMMIT! FUCKING RIGHT MAN! Maynard James Keenan is GOD and Adam Jones, Danny Carrey, and Justin Chancellor are his fucking DISCIPLES! ALL HAIL TOOL!

  • I'M EATING LUCKY CHARMS WITH 2% MILK... MMMMMM

  • @MakeupCigsSka this song is about the deal keenan made with the devil for his soul in exchange for rock stardom. I made that up. ok back to my regulation government brand cocopuffs.

  • Tool dis-likers are fucking terrorists! And most likely pretty stupid...such a shame, to be an asshole who likes terrible music. Cobain put it best though when he said "wish i was like you, easily amused." ...and pass the honey nut cheerios

  • @aidinharper lol, dude grow up....

  • @aidinharper dude, WHAT?

  • @aidinharper--- um.. so just because they have a different taste in music they're terrorists and most likely stupid? not to be tooooo mean, but you're sounding a little unintelligent yourself. i don't like the color yellow, does that mean I'm racist? just try to be more open minded- be sure to stand up for something you like, but you don't have to downsize those who don't agree.. (sounds like how wars begin because people can't agree on religion..blah)

  • @Tenten1994 What my undiplomatic ally is trying to convey is that most people don't like Tool because they don't properly listen to it. Or any music for that matter, give a good, good listen to Rihannas latest song and you'll probably notice how repeatative and flat her music actually is. This goes for all mainstream music really.

  • @Tenten1994

    Nicely said. My hope for everything is not yet completely gone since people with sense still exist somewhere.

  • @Tenten1994 wrong, and yes, yellow hating racist :P

  • @Tenten1994 Ya but you got to admit if you truly dislike tool theres has to be something not right.

  • @mike14444444 Also I dont think anybody truly dislikes tool, they just wanna hate and tool just happen to be there.

  • @Tenten1994 Good point. Though people who start wars based on anything other than -- if you don't kill them then many others will die --- or something to that effect are flat out retarded. Not really the point of your comment but damn, I just felt like saying it.

  • @Tenten1994 cough cough gandi follower cough cough lol :P

  • @aidinharper What's a shame is that people these days still have the mind set of "If you don't believe what I believe, then fuck you". I would think that we've evolved past that. And on a Tool page too... wow

  • @aidinharper

    Or they think Muse the best band ever (which may also mean they never listened to Tool to begin with TOOL > Muse)

  • @aidinharper screw cobain. he talked shit about tool.

  • @aidinharper Easily amused. MTV should be renamed "Easily Amused" since they play disposable music. The masses suck up whatever MTV spits out and says is the 'new hawt jam', then a month later they're on to the next big thing. Nobody seems to have an appreciation for music that lasts. I'll continue to listen to these timeless songs and the ignorant masses can continue to be good little sheep.

  • @escapist11 damn you hit the nail on the head then.

  • @aidinharper shut up troll and respect opinions of others

  • @aidinharper Hey I love honey nut cheerios and the band Tool.

  • @shibil hey me too, we are so alike lol

  • why would you tell us you were eating cereal?

  • beer + Tool = : )

  • I just love it. Everything. 

  • fucking sickest band on the this fucking planet danny carry is the best drummer in the world by far i don't care what any one says!! and for the 10 people who dislike this song they must not have ears

  • @vicarious987789  calm down man. just kidding go fucking crazy this band is beyond words man i totally agree with you.....

  • Comment removed

  • shit who cares about the quality as long as ican hear the song and no static i'm good

  • 10 people hate their mother

  • its prayed like a martyr....not father

  • im shoving my finger in a jar of nutella

    

  • Maynard is a genius. It's like if Plato or Socrates could sing and had their own band. But I bet they couldn't find a drummer like Danny though. What an amazing band.

  • @Sureshot82 cant agree with you even more....

  • The devil of his had me down

  • but this album today,win!

  • Quite a song

  • you messed up a lot of the lyrics...

    Damn my eyes!

    If they should compromise the fulcrum:

    (If) wants and needs divide me

    Then I might as well be gone

  • * Breath In Union ** Breath In Union ** Breath In Union ** Breath In Union ** Breath In Union ** Breath In Union *

  • @2:13 it's should be: Prayed like a MARTYR not Father.

    I can't believe nobody caught that! (well if someone did I didn't see it)

  • @bruno2260 really? i alwalys thought it was father

  • 4:00 mad riffs.... so glad im white.

  • to clarify all the BS on this page it is uncertain what beliefs or religion maynard believes in it is confirmed though that he disagress with organized religion

  • damn

  • I love this song, probably my favorite Tool song, but I highly doubt the the lyrics are correct on this view, but the sound quality is good

  • 3:57 at edmonton concert looks about like when everyone just lost their heads in the music more than before! Probably like that at all the concerts!

  • @jtimm13 And if you paid attention to the lyrics, hes speaking of the Benevolent Son. The Son is Jesus Christ and it has always remained that way. It is in-mistakable to say that this Son is someone else because no other person in history has ever been called the Son. Plus with the references to "shine on" and "Light our way" as well as "Shine on until the two become one" it only reaffirms it. What mortal shines on a person and heals them?

  • @Exorcio1 well put point, but likely false... APC - Judith "fuck your god, your lord and your christ, he did this. took all you had and left you this way" i doubt he would speak so highly of jesus, "benevolent son" when the majority of his work towards religion is negative.

  • @fenderman23 the only thing ive ever heard of him comeing closeing to haveing a posiive outlook on christianity and God is on the album 10,000 days but that was just because it was dedicated to her and he was honoring her beliefs

  • @fenderman23 Totally agreed fenderman.

  • @Exorcio1 The song is about Maynard's kid. Stop trying to take that away from him....

    For fuck sakes, if you go to the Sober video, one Jesus freak is going on about how Tool is so demonic, and this one is saying this song is all about Jesus.

    Can you people just let the rest of the world enjoy music without you interfering every second?

    I don't care if you have a religion, that's awesome, just shut up about it.

  • @nebjamin69 Well its about a loved one. That is for sure. I definitely dont think its about Jesus but for someone you love and will give everything so you dont lose that person.

  • Anyone else think that start riff is so brutal it could be in a Meshuggah song?

  • @absolutehail ohhhhhhhhhh yessir :] 

  • people this is a tool song, it has multiple meanings. Yes, there are biblical references, they are used to develop his feelings towards his son, who is the subject of the song.

  • @exorcio sorry jesus freak but thats not it :P

  • sorry for double posting but also this guy is saying "shine on forever shine on benevolent son. shine down upon the broken shine until the two become one. shine on upon the severed until the two become one. shine on upon the many, light our way, benevolent son." The Benevolent Son could well in fact be Jesus because 1. hes telling him to light our way which it says in the bible that Jesus is the light. 2. hes saying Legion get out of my way.and 3.a regular son or sun cant heal people broken ppl.

  • im pretty sure it says "Silence Legion, say your preachin, silence Legion, stay out of my way" Legion is what demons are called when they are assembled and before in the song he mentions the devil so there could be some correlation there.

  • that was absolutely fucking RIDICULOUS.

  • Awsome song.

  • I love this song. It could possibbly be their best song everr.

  • @alexanderthegreat369 nagh my friend i beleive that title goes to- right in two

  • @alexanderthegreat369 clearly u have never heard vicarious but jambi is still pretty good

  • iam eating d_ X _ M HAHAHAHA

  • @TheFugher haha thats great!!!!! love that shit

  • Doesn't matter about quality, good job with the lyrics.

  • Comment removed

  • This song is about maynard's son.

  • @BadVCDguy thats H :)

  • wtf tool is touring?

  • 5 weeks till i see tool live. running out of bands i must see before i die or they quit touring.of course since there arent any good bands now adays the list has been the same for 15 years.is it just meor are all the best bands now all from the early 90s.

  • @sudofan It's not just you. You are speaking truth.

  • Prayed like a martyr dusk 'til dawn.. Not like a Father.

  • omg when they get here its gonna be amazing!!!!

  • I bet this song is crazy intense live,

    it would be an honor to see these guys in concert.

  • @guynametyler guess what, i bought tickets to see them live yesterday :) cant even wait

  • @eastwhat666 lucky, i wanna get tickets

  • @artard84 its going to be sooooo good i cant even wait!!!

  • Ok 1) great song nice lyrics good good

    2) u guys out there cursing each other for no reason just to look cool or whyever, please stop you r very annoying and I don't. Like listening to u guys. Please knok it off!!!!

  • I think its about using religion as comfort

  • its about him finding god threw narcotics anonymous and praying in union until two become one... 

  • Tool is a great band and many other bands need to have this much meaning in their songs.

  • Still freakin' EPIC.

  • I thought it was- silent legions save your precious?

  • i really like how you got all the lyrics right bud -___- NOT asshole way to toaly mess up the song!

  • benevolent SUN not son
