Tool - Vicarious - 1080p

I take no credit. However, I did swap out the music for the CD version. It just sounded better for some reason.

"Vicarious" is a song by American rock band Tool. The song is the first single released from their fourth full-length studio album 10,000 Days. Debuting on April 17, 2006 on commercial radio, the seven-minute song entered the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart at #2. It received a nomination for Best Hard Rock Performance at the 49th Annual Grammy Awards.

The song features a 5/4 riff and describes the vicarious thrill the public receives from hearing about the misfortunes of others in the media, despite their refusal to admit it.

The DVD released on December 18, 2007 contains an extended version of the much-delayed video counterpart for the song. The video is completely made through use of CGI, making it Tool's first full CGI video, as opposed to stop-motion animation, which the band has used in their past videos.

The video was co-directed by guitarist Adam Jones and artist Alex Grey and also features creative input from Chet Zar. Also included on the DVD are short documentaries on the making of the video and on Jones's previous work in film and television, and commentaries on the video from comedian David Cross.

In the June 12, 2008 issue of Rolling Stone magazine, the song was included on the list of top 100 guitar songs of all time. It was ranked one-hundredth.

Maynard James Keenan — vocals
Adam Jones — guitar
Justin Chancellor — bass
Danny Carey — drums


Eye on the TV
'cause tragedy thrills me
Whatever flavour
It happens to be like;
Killed by the husband
Drowned by the ocean
Shot by his own son
She used the poison in his tea
And kissed him goodbye
That's my kind of story
It's no fun 'til someone dies

Don't look at me like
I am a monster
Frown out your one face
But with the other
Stare like a junkie
Into the TV
Stare like a zombie
While the mother
Holds her child
Watches him die
Hands to the sky crying
Why, oh why?
'cause I need to watch things die
From a distance

Vicariously I, live while the whole world dies
You all need it too, don't lie

Why can't we just admit it?
Why can't we just admit it?

We won't give pause until the blood is flowing
Neither the brave nor bold
The writers of stories sold
We won't give pause until the blood is flowing

I need to watch things die
From a good safe distance

Vicariously I, live while the whole world dies
You all feel the same so
Why can't we just admit it?

Blood like rain come down
Drawn on grave and ground

Part vampire
Part warrior
Carnivore and voyeur
Stare at the transmittal
Sing to the death rattle

La, la, la, la, la, la, la-lie

Credulous at best, your desire to believe in angels in the hearts of men.
Pull your head on out your hippy haze and give a listen.
Shouldn't have to say it all again.
The universe is hostile. so Impersonal. devour to survive.
So it is. So it's always been.

We all feed on tragedy
It's like blood to a vampire

Vicariously I, live while the whole world dies
Much better you than I

was this in 3-D?

[Lluminari]

@95frisco You would think. I think it's just the way they rendered the video. Looks pretty sharp.

[toriinprogress]

Nice work! Thank you <3

[Lluminari]

@toriinprogress Welcome, tor!

guy is tempted with his eyes in which are represented as monkeys to venture into the curious world of truth and consciousness. it is there, he realizes that the world is blind as his old body dies, no longer needing the artificial world to survive. he then discovers ultimate consciousness and leaves the world behind, no longer needing to hear the lies, no longer in fear or angry with the world. because now it is very simple to see. its all basic psychedelics. :)

Guys I see really often that lateralus original cd music is "different".. Could that be true? Are there any methods so that cd version could be more "enchanced"?

@tmillsskills Search Parabola Vicarious Music Video. It makes a lot more sense and even times up better when played with Parabola.

just enjoy the song and quit trying to interperet it. I think it was meant to be open to any interpertation.
