Sober is a song by American progressive metal band Tool. The song was released as the second single from their debut album, Undertow.

Tool guitarist Adam Jones has stated in an interview that the song is about a friend of the band whose artistic expression only comes out when he is under the influence. "A lot of people give him shit for that," Jones explains. "If you become addicted and a junkie, well, that's your fault."

"Sober" is one of the earliest songs composed by Maynard James Keenan, with roots dating back to a 1987 live performance (released as Peace Day with his first band, Children of the Anachronistic Dynasty) in which the song was called "Burn About Out". The song contains some lyrics from the first verse of "Sober", with the same basic melody, although the melody is considerably faster and has an instrumental chorus.

The song was recorded by Keenan with Tool for the first time in mid-1991 on a demo tape titled 72826.

A video for "Sober" was made in 1993. Directed by Fred Stuhr, it was filmed using stop-motion animation, with the characters' models designed by Adam Jones . The video bears a strong resemblance to the work of the Brothers Quay, however they were not involved with its creation. It was the first of Tool's videos to be made in stop motion, the earlier promo video for "Hush" being live action and featuring all four band members.

However, brief flashes of the musicians can be seen near the beginning, as well as a live-action figure twitching and vibrating violently.

The video's protagonist is a small, humanoid being, who lives and sleeps in a rusty room sparsely decorated with a bed, table and chair inside an abandoned mansion. He happens upon a wooden box, which he opens near the beginning. Its contents are kept hidden for the majority of the video's duration, but it seems whatever it is has had adverse effects - there are repeated shots of the humanoid levitating in his chair, and his head and arm vibrating wildly. While experiencing these effects, he ventures through his living quarters and its many corridors.

The climax provides a barrage of imagery and revelations: a figure attached to a wall behind a translucent screen, a sentry of sorts wielding a mobile, robotic cannon and an organic substance flowing through a pipe found in the house. At the end, the box is empty, leaving the viewer to determine its meaning.

There's a shadow just behind me shrouding every step I take.
Making every promise empty. Pointing every finger at me.
Waiting like a stalking butler who upon the finger rests.
Murder now the pattern must we, just because the son has come?

Jesus, won't you fucking whistle something but the past undone?
Jesus wants to fucking whistle, something 'bout the past undoing.

Why can't we not be sober? I just want to start this over.
Why can't we drink forever? I just want to start this over.

I am just a worthless liar. I am just an imbecile.
I will only complicate you. Trust in me and fall as well.
I will find a center in you. I will chew it up and leave.
I will work to elevate you just enough to bring you down.

Mother Mary won't you whisper something but the past undone.

Why can't we not be sober? I Just want to start this over.
Why can't we sleep forever? I Just want to start this over.

I am just a worthless liar. I am just an imbecile.
I will only complicate you. Trust in me and fall as well.
I will find a center in you. I will chew it up and leave.

Trust me.

Why can't we not be sober? I just want to start things over.
Why can't we sleep forever? I just want to start this over.

I want what I want.
