I am lightly autistic and whenever I feel suicidal I listen to Tool. The only artists that could ever cheer me up in this state are Tupac Shakur and Tool. I love Tupac but I have listened to all his songs and was sad to not see anoher artist equal to him until I met Tool that surpasses him by a little. I know how much Tool influences and inspires others to also keep living whenevr they are suffering. It's amazing how healing music can be.
@KhemAndKurami Tupac was so awesome... Tool are great. Symphony X are great, Dream Theater are great, Iron Maiden, Metallica, Ayreon, Megadeth... the list goes on... people who actually understand human pain, and can show us a way out. I'm so thankful we have these bands. I'm so thankful I found them.
Tool's more than just music it's art.The atmosphere and subject matter they express can allow one to explore inner as well as strive to explore outer space. Definitely motivates one to live laterally ever expanding, ever changing...
This is real, this is my "Religion", this makes me happy when I am sad, this is something that has gotten me through the tough times, and this is my motivation. TOOL you are an amazing band
One time at my first job, and things got tough and I wanted to say "fuck you" walk out, just as my anger reached a peak when work was busy and stressful, this song drifted into my head. But none of the lyrics, just the melody. It calmed me down and could focus on what I was doing. Later, I come to learn what this song means.
By far my most favorite tool song!! I know there are many!!! And maynard is 1 poetic.. Gifted..GENIIUS!! This 1 means the world to me...until I actually do.... Walk away.... I still may!!!
@RHSTUDIOS bullshits..... it just comes from fans who ask Tool to release an album before the "end of the world" (12/21/12).... Facts are: Danny, Justin, Adam are currently really involved in the writing process but Maynard (according to some recent ITW) seems quite disintersted by Tool; he annonced to tour with Puscifer in february and march, so he won't join the writing process before april.... then comes eventually the recording... and Tool always release albums at spring (2013?)
the supreme absolute path in this era is kriya yoga through the transmission of light by a legitimate guru out the top of the head - the third eye is a step backwards into a sea of psychic delusions and yet the supreme state of divinity - who you t ARE - is worth it and thousands of times greater even in vision than that chakra. read autobiography of a yogi. message me if u want a teacher - only if u will do the work. enlightenment is real.
the human that wastes this life when they can unify with the god ( who you are ) beyond religion through mantra yoga of any type of mantra ( they all in sanskrit are good ) you want will attain supreme bliss, the man playing x box INSTEAD of ( he can do both ) is a fool. and the 1% enjoy eating our souls by giving us bullshit. life is about perfection and enlightenment. as well as enjoying success if u can. the shaman path just does not do it - but it can heal to a level - and hurt
Does anyone realize that a lot of tools songs are telling you to be yourself and no matter how rough life gets, don't give up. He would have given up long ago if he didn't see life as a holy gift bestowed upon him. The patient is a group of people, those that are patient and will stick it out and reach to be a better person. The waters are the after life, the ground is life itself one day the flood will come to claim everything that is yours. Don't waste this chance to be alive and breathing.
@Urabewe It's more than that too. The song before schism is called mantra. Mantra means liberation from the mind and all illusions. Mantra is true method of self realization to be exalted into the true nature of reality not inundated with the shit of consumer reality. The message of tool has been against pot and for LSD . LSD may terrify u to realize nothing is wrong and you are not dying, that we are immortal. That is why parabola has this theme. yet it is not the supreme truth either.
@sunlightblessing Watch schisms video carefully it is the most obvious common sense message. Smoke has destroyed the temple, filling with junk, as the two selves float in smoke and abyss. The healer and lover screams at this and tries to teach yoga so that the body may receive divine energy to transcend duality and come to be a divine human being. The two fix the damage done "ignorant to the damage done, marijuana is SATURN " and they do it with head stand and downward dog.
It's awesome how Tool can pull you to the farthest reaches of consciousness (like NicNorenberg said) and also pull you deep inside yourself. I may just be a kid to a lot of you but after listening to this I realized that I was being brainwashed by everything around me. After this I started to think for myself.
Really if Tool didn't exist I'd be exactly the same as every other fool teenage sheep.
@perrottafamily1 I'm guessing he's trolling. The caps, the fact he picked a top-rated comment and the whole hypocritical nature towards his comment shows obvious trolling....
@APCFan227 all you said is true, and great! nobody thinks you are a kid, instead, you are an intelligent man! Tool awakes intelligence, free thinking, and maturity in every person who happens to listen to them.
@APCFan227 I feel the same way. Teenagers at this age just move through the motions. I'm currently in high school and I feel different. Not bad different, just different.
@APCFan227 You listened to a song about being in a hospital and now youre in zen with the universe? I love tool but the number one turnoff for me is the fans who take everything out of context and think every song is a deep mystical journey throughout thier souls and the cosmos, etc
@deathdrummer1000 woah, bad vibe man!! You should appreciate their music and the message they are trying to send!! I think you need to chill, man. Maybe you would appreciate their style more with some hard drugs
@deathdrummer1000 Lulz Tool songs don't all have one definite meaning. They can be interpreted in more than one way typically. This song seemed to fit my condition at the time pretty well and I got a sort of epiphany out of it.

i've been a tool fan since2001 and i don't just listen to them. they put out a really good album every 5 years or so, i listen to them for a while, take it all in then put it away until its about time for the next one to come out. just like i do with every artist i listen to. be it ray lamontagne, zach brown, metallica, acdc, obscura, animals as leaders tosin abasi, anything. why all the hate>
@Danioabyss so it's true about tool fans only liking tool. well like i said tool is nothing compare to IRON FUCKING MAIDEN, JUDAS FUCKING PRIEST, FUCKING DIO,FUCKING SLAYER,FUCKING MEGADETH.
@irondeth2 I didn't say Tool is better then Iron Maiden or Judas Priest ( also my favorite bands btw )
What I meant was that TOOL is a unique band with a sound that you don''t get from any other metal band in the world!!! and btw Tool is no Metal!! it's Art-Rock so Your comment makes no sense anyway :P
dude no shit, one night i was in my bed listening to tool and just relaxing, almost meditating
and i shit you not, at some point it felt like i had taken LSD or something, cuz i was just feeling so light and my mind was creating some pretty crazy and beautiful things while my eyes were closed.
@7777timj apparently that was a joke when they said that, right now theyre writing it and the release date is not known. i love tool but they should stop fucking with their fans
I keep listening to this song as I keep reminding myself that my ex "girlfriend" is totally worth waiting to see if she forgives me for pushing her away.
i never liked Tool until one night I put this album on and I was suddenly and seemingly transported to this intergalactic and universal war between the Sons of Light and the Sons of Darkness! For real I am not being funny or trying to exagerate an experience.
@NicNorenberg the seeming difference between "light" and "dark" is nothing more than polarity perspective. It is in this observation of the difference, the seeds of conflict are subconciously planted into our minds. "Divide and Conquer" is the God Head engine. In creating the Light, "GODDOG" subliminally creates the darkness.
This dual nature perspective has served its purpose, and we can all now happily surrender our bodies and minds to the coming shift of Universal Awareness. One Won 1
@NicNorenberg your a spiritual leader and have a great followers, many are your angels of many colours, i really think your a transition in all this reality too, many like you are opening up for tool, i'v had a wide connection between many religious and non religious people, they all the same when the body language talks, im a vampire for saying this but they are all unpurified blood that cant stimulate to life, so questioning it will do the trick, and its invisable too, everyone is blind!
@NicNorenberg i still think this is a great comment, its timeless and so necessery for 1 to hear :P cosmic it may seem, but unreal isnt the word fot the blind seeker, its either asleep or patiently awake with the third eye
I used to go to a public school and all these kids used to like rap.. I was the only sporting tool shirts each day and jaming to tool on my earphones... Teachers thought I was crazy.
Is Tool into psychedelic drugs? It seems like every time I see artwork on their videos and covers they are psychedelic art. Like the ones from Alex Grey.
@P3PSll Lmao I have no idea why that was sent instead of my message. My message was "Am I not allowed to be here? lol A friend posted the video on FB and checked it out because of the artwork."
@T0ASTYWAG1992 Ahh ok i didnt mean to offend you in anyway, and anyone is allowed here unless you want to annoy and cry about everything, if that's your motive then I suggest leaving. And yes the art work is very Diffrent than what most poeple like, but i like it.
@T0ASTYWAG1992 well.. i really dont think TOOL uses psychedelic drugs.i think they just like to use the visuals to enhance the TOOL viewing experience.they leave a lot of things open for interpretation.now their videos may cater to people who like to use hallucinogens. i dont know anyone of them personally.but i would say no they dont use drugs .Alex Grey does a lot of TOOLs artwork.Alex may be a tripper.I hope this kind of answered your question.
It sounds like some of you drug users need to wake the fuck up. Marijuana collects tar in your lungs and does many of the same things cigarettes do to your body. It's usually even worse, since you don't use a filter for marijuana. Use your brain. You're taking in smoke; of course it will harm your body. It can give you lung cancer and all that other stuff that cigarettes give you. If you don't believe me, look it up.
@TheCIRCUSCANNON thats why it has to be moderated, used in doses that your mind just need. I hate when i get to smoke with people that they burn the freaking weed like desperados and choke all the time they hit a bowl. That shit is really harmful inhaling smoke that way it craps your lungs that's true.
I see marijuana like propulsion for the mind, its like the spaceships they just need to give a little boost in order to rotate or direct the space shuttle as they wish to be. srry for my english.
@TehNoobJuice im gonna vote down, because i don't HAVE to use them to enjoy tools music - i love tool either way, it's just an extremely enjoyable experience when your baked...
@TehNoobJuice Whether you do a drug or not (marijuana (which is a flower)) has nothing to do whether you like TooL. They are brilliant artists and no drug or other inebriation could dilute the purity and domination of this music they produce and the effect it has on our souls... that's all...
@TheBdweiserman drugs are a quick way to heaven i think, but if your living in hell its gonna get you stoned ready for sleeping, funny how the body controls the drug, but if you let go it takes you to heaven, so up and down is a emotion ufo taking you to your hight of unconsciouse being or stoned to see the bottom where beasts sleep, take your pick with any drug its your rection and not the drugs, the drugs need to be taken for the solution to be understood, so drugs is a ufo metaphore! :P
@Muzzy12 Go to the guy on the grudge video uploaded by the same user and have an arguement. You two completely contridict yourselves and I could go without reading your bullshit about being mindfucked. Music heals you.
pot is harmless and plus it's almost legal anyways. shit i smoke pot just so i dont kill retarded people that comment about the drug, when in reallity they probally smoke to! PEOPLE DROP THE POT CRITICIZING AND FIND SOMETHING ELSE TO BITCH AND MOAN ABOUT.
far out tool is probably the most creative band (that i know of) along with Dream Theater... sometimes i sit there and think about how retarded everything in general would be without this sort of music... and to all those people trying to sound cool because they take drugs... no one is gonna judge you if you do em... but we don't need every pothead here telling us they get high over Tool songs. Keep drugs out of music unless your writing about it.
@skudstorm44 "keep drugs out of music undless your writing about it." If they made the mistake of taking those drugs...too bad for tool, but now they have a topic. But people are getting the wrong idea from this. They didnt do the drugs for the music, they write the music about the drugs. From experience.
@SASPython Alright bub. U sound compassionate. Watch the video "a message of hope". I've done plenty of drugs myself but I much rather experience the same transcendance from a meditative state and I know U would too. Watch the video. I didn't make it. I don't know who made it. Could have been U for all I know. It will impress U and amaze U. Much like a lot of TOOL songs do, I'm assuming and much like the music Tool has created with or without drugs, the video is about higher consiousness. Peace
@W6S0A4 ill just put it simply... i love tool, i love music, i wouldnt be studying it if i didnt, i don't like drugs, and i dont like the influence of drugs, mainly because ive had people in my school, people i knew, peoplei was friends with, who have died or gone to hospital because of them. I know they make you feel 'good' for the moment, but that shit aint worth it in the long run. it just seems to me that when people listen to tool, the y get more drug influecne, even if its not tools fault.
@SASPython ok pithy. That's you and U are probably right that it influences drug use and conventional drug use BUT it is not telling someone to use drugs. The music itself is on a much deeper level than that and some might even go as far to say that the drugs influence Tool use.
@W6S0A4 your exactly right. but not everyone understands that like you and me unfortunately, and then they find out the hard way. im just saying people shouldnt get into that confusion. Remember that music is a strong thing and can inflence people strongly, even when it doesn't intend to do so in a bad way. But im just clearing up that im not hating on tool, tool is awsome, im just trying to get people not to become confused if u get what i mean.
@SASPython Tool enourages the enlightenment of ones self and if you see that as influencing ppl to do drugs, then somewhere deep down you feel that drugs "enlightened" tool. Because tool songs are clearly influenced by hardcore emotions not the drugs themselves. Plus tools favorite drugs are ayahuasca, pot and acid, all of which cannot possibly harm you unless you are retarded.
thanks they are coming here on monday first time ill get to see their show

I love Tupac but I have listened to all his songs and was sad to not see anoher artist equal to him until I met Tool that surpasses him by a little. I know how much Tool influences and inspires others to also keep living whenevr they are suffering. It's amazing how healing music can be.

@irondeth2 I didn't say Tool is better then Iron Maiden or Judas Priest ( also my favorite bands btw )
What I meant was that TOOL is a unique band with a sound that you don''t get from any other metal band in the world!!! and btw Tool is no Metal!! it's Art-Rock so Your comment makes no sense anyway :P

@NicNorenberg the seeming difference between "light" and "dark" is nothing more than polarity perspective. It is in this observation of the difference, the seeds of conflict are subconciously planted into our minds. "Divide and Conquer" is the God Head engine. In creating the Light, "GODDOG" subliminally creates the darkness.
This dual nature perspective has served its purpose, and we can all now happily surrender our bodies and minds to the coming shift of Universal Awareness. One Won 1

@NicNorenberg your a spiritual leader and have a great followers, many are your angels of many colours, i really think your a transition in all this reality too, many like you are opening up for tool, i'v had a wide connection between many religious and non religious people, they all the same when the body language talks, im a vampire for saying this but they are all unpurified blood that cant stimulate to life, so questioning it will do the trick, and its invisable too, everyone is blind!

@T0ASTYWAG1992 well.. i really dont think TOOL uses psychedelic drugs.i think they just like to use the visuals to enhance the TOOL viewing experience.they leave a lot of things open for interpretation.now their videos may cater to people who like to use hallucinogens. i dont know anyone of them personally.but i would say no they dont use drugs .Alex Grey does a lot of TOOLs artwork.Alex may be a tripper.I hope this kind of answered your question.

It sounds like some of you drug users need to wake the fuck up. Marijuana collects tar in your lungs and does many of the same things cigarettes do to your body. It's usually even worse, since you don't use a filter for marijuana. Use your brain. You're taking in smoke; of course it will harm your body. It can give you lung cancer and all that other stuff that cigarettes give you. If you don't believe me, look it up.

@TheCIRCUSCANNON thats why it has to be moderated, used in doses that your mind just need. I hate when i get to smoke with people that they burn the freaking weed like desperados and choke all the time they hit a bowl. That shit is really harmful inhaling smoke that way it craps your lungs that's true.
I see marijuana like propulsion for the mind, its like the spaceships they just need to give a little boost in order to rotate or direct the space shuttle as they wish to be. srry for my english.

@skudstorm44 "keep drugs out of music undless your writing about it." If they made the mistake of taking those drugs...too bad for tool, but now they have a topic. But people are getting the wrong idea from this. They didnt do the drugs for the music, they write the music about the drugs. From experience.

@SASPython Alright bub. U sound compassionate. Watch the video "a message of hope". I've done plenty of drugs myself but I much rather experience the same transcendance from a meditative state and I know U would too. Watch the video. I didn't make it. I don't know who made it. Could have been U for all I know. It will impress U and amaze U. Much like a lot of TOOL songs do, I'm assuming and much like the music Tool has created with or without drugs, the video is about higher consiousness. Peace
W6S0A4 8 months ago
@W6S0A4 ill just put it simply... i love tool, i love music, i wouldnt be studying it if i didnt, i don't like drugs, and i dont like the influence of drugs, mainly because ive had people in my school, people i knew, peoplei was friends with, who have died or gone to hospital because of them. I know they make you feel 'good' for the moment, but that shit aint worth it in the long run. it just seems to me that when people listen to tool, the y get more drug influecne, even if its not tools fault.
SASPython 8 months ago
@SASPython ok pithy. That's you and U are probably right that it influences drug use and conventional drug use BUT it is not telling someone to use drugs. The music itself is on a much deeper level than that and some might even go as far to say that the drugs influence Tool use.
W6S0A4 8 months ago
@W6S0A4 your exactly right. but not everyone understands that like you and me unfortunately, and then they find out the hard way. im just saying people shouldnt get into that confusion. Remember that music is a strong thing and can inflence people strongly, even when it doesn't intend to do so in a bad way. But im just clearing up that im not hating on tool, tool is awsome, im just trying to get people not to become confused if u get what i mean.
SASPython 8 months ago
@SASPython Tool enourages the enlightenment of ones self and if you see that as influencing ppl to do drugs, then somewhere deep down you feel that drugs "enlightened" tool. Because tool songs are clearly influenced by hardcore emotions not the drugs themselves. Plus tools favorite drugs are ayahuasca, pot and acid, all of which cannot possibly harm you unless you are retarded.
